‘DESIGNER OF THE YEAR’
 |
| Yunus & Eliza with judge and London Jewellery Week ambassador, Juliet |
I had the honour of selecting the ‘Designer of the Year’ at Treasure during London Jewellery Week.
The finalists were selected by a panel of London Jewellery Week ambassadors and included:
1. Leyla Abdollahi
2. Zelia Horsley
3. Tomasz Donocik
4. Cindy Dennis Mangan
5. London Bird
6. Yunus & Eliza
7. Natalia Schroder
8. Milena Kovanovic
9. Flash Trash vs Alexander Davis
10. Linnie McLarty
Yunus & Eliza were my winners of this prestigious award. Their work, described as ‘sculpture to be worn’, has progressed since their debut collection was showcased at London Fashion Week in 2010. Not only are they featured in glossy editorials around the world and high profile music videos, but their ability to create pieces that would be considered ‘jewellery wear’ alongside those that could be worn every day as a pendant chain, without compromising their brand integrity, means that Yunus & Eliza’s influence extends beyond the world of jewellery to art, film, music and fashion and they are certainly ‘ones to watch’…
Watch the makings of Yunus & Eliza’s head piece for Universal Record’s hottest new act: ‘Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosours’.
