MAWi Fall 2011 Fashion Jewelry

I fell in love with Mawi's collection immediately few years ago, after seeing her magnificent collections spread in London fashion week's report. Since then I have always anxious to see her next creations. 

Mawi Keivom, an Indian-born designer started her namesake accessories line in 2003 after starting out in women"s wear at Isaac Mizrahi in New York. Growing up in Kenya, Saudi Arabia, and New Zealand among others, Mawi credits her nomadic childhood as a defining influence on her aesthetic, “It made me see the world from a different perspective, this exposure obviously translates into my work”, she says. “There’s always a collision of cultures and underlying influences that you can’t pinpoint.” She’s right – jade tusks, jewelled insects, molten skulls, sharp metal spikes, and angled geometric shapes all form part of her collections. 

Her designs are contemporary style with traditional influences, mixing the old and new, wisely selected materials and each piece is surely a statement piece.  What I really love about her designs is the originality of each piece, different and can immediately recognizable... How awesome! 

Let's take a look at Mawi's  Fall 2011 collections, which I have selected from http://style.com here a few pieces of my most favorite pieces that a so intricate and beautifully done.

Bracelets/Bangles:

Elize - Smokey Grey glass beads Choker Necklace

A client wanted me to custom make a choker which does not make her neck looks short.  Hmm...What  a challenge - chokers normally consists of 3, 4 or more strands of beads that covered most of the neck.  The choice of beads is essential, I think transparent beads is a good choice.

While looking through my beads collections, found some lovely Grey smokey faceted glass beads and Swarovski beads which are perfect for the choker - I immediately have a design in mind... I want to make a choker with lots of details.

Color scheme:  Grey Smokey  ( light and darker tones) Clear and silver.

Beads and Materials:   Swarovski crystal pendants, Metal filigrees and connectors

Findings and Finishings:  Nickel Metal findings with pin techniques, finished with lobster clasp and added another 10cm extension footage chains.

I always like to start constructing at the center then work my way to the sides and  back, then the dangling pieces.

Mixing different sizes and shapes of grey smokey glass beads like puffed coin shapes, rounded and teardrops - all with faceted cutting with glittery effects and decorated with suitable size bead caps.  

To add more drama to the necklace, I attached strands of nickel metal chains at the sides and center of the neckline. 

Work in Progress:-

Chokers which normally has full strands of beads will actually shorten the neck of the wearer, I decided to lessen the beads by  mixing footage chain with a  "V" shape to lengthen wearer's neck.
