“Words, Words, Words“ Mina, the popular Italian singer, sang in 1972.
And words, only words are those that Alber Elbaz, Lanvin’s creative director, hangs around the neck and arms of his models in 2013.
“Words are my main source of inspiration,” and that’s the reason why the designer has called his jewelry collections “Messages“, written in his own handwriting.
Happy, Cool, Help, Love, Hot - expression of a mood or simply the wish to scream a status loudly.
Outsized pieces combined with a cascade of other necklaces. “Motti” that fit between metal wires; ultra-bright maxi words in a refined italics.
Nowadays the trend to declare the status is getting viral and it reaches another level either with the statement jewelry or the desire to write a message with neon letters in a room as a reminder.
It doesn’t matter what you want to say, the important thing is “say it proudly“ and this attitude is for sure a #greeninspiration.
“The pieces are too big to be elegant, but they are delicious.” – Albert Elbaz
