“Orbitale” Accessories Capsule

This accessories capsule envisioned the pieces as ‘orbital’ accoutrements, adorning the wearer with individualized objects that memorialize lived experience.

The classic silhouettes of veil, gloves and chain served as a canvas upon which to expound precious detailing. The variety of chosen objects represent the varying anecdotal significance to the wearer as well as a the constellation of meanings projected for the viewer. Classical refinement meets mental incisiveness, with the wearer given an opportunity to assemble a world both aesthetically pleasing and personally relevant. These pieces operate on the boundary between the reality of the outside world and fantasy of the inner imagination, centering the wearer within a cocoon of their choosing.

Materials Transparency & Sustainability

Veil

The body of the veil was constructed using plastic mesh supermarket containers for produce, elongating their lifespan and circumventing the purchase of nylon netting. With the exception of the gothic logo charms, all other embellishments used are vintage from the 1950’s and 80’s.

Gloves

While virgin material was used for the glove fabric, all rings were sourced from vintage marketplaces.

Chain

Both the bowdoin chain and the attached lockets are upcycled vintage from the 1980’s.
