This Southeast Asia inspired capsule collection was designed especially for a collaborative initiative by the Singapore Fashion Council and the Asian Civilisation Museum.
Inspired by the beauty of floral carvings commonly found in Southeast Asian jewellery of the past and their being a symbol of life and vitality, we applied them onto contemporary silhouettes. A coming together of past and present, these pieces are imbued with meaning and heritage.
As we looked through the Asian Civilisations Museum's jewellery archives, we found ourselves drawn to two groups of jewellery – jewellery that signify life, and those that mark death. These symbolisms resonate with our experience of fine jewellery as objects intimately intertwined with the stages of life.
Through this collection, we explore the symbolic elements that celebrate the cyclical nature of our existence. Floral carvings symbolise fertility and vitality whilst pearls take the place of diamonds in sombre mourning. These nostalgic touches meld with familiar and contemporary State Property silhouettes, coming together in an old-world-new-world synergy that is both effortless and compelling.
