Final Collection 2011

Description of collection:

This collection is focussed on and inspired by native tribal armour, predominantly from Mayan and Aztec warriors of Mexico. The collection shows a modern take on their form of protection and collaborates it with a more contemporary style of armour.

With a strong detail to construction the collection centres on movement and interaction whilst exploring contrasting materials and the juxtaposing qualities of hard and soft, man made and organic.

The collection consists of a mixture of larger fashion orientated pieces and more commercial, accessible and precious forms of jewellery. I look to create impact with my jewellery and in the form of chain mail my attention to detail has led to an intricate, eye catching and intriguing collection.

This year the BA Jewellery exhibition will stay true to the spirit of Central Saint Martins – the work of the 47 graduating students will be unique and remarkable. With pieces varying from one-off haute-jewellery to theatre; from everyday wear items to exquisite ones; from precious metals and stones to plastic, porcelain and moss, this collection presents the students’ responses to a wide range of starting points; insect collectors, Aztec warriors, memories, deteriorating surfaces, bones and shadows. The areas of exploration range from 1940s glamour, medical prosthetics, bartered jewellery and the number 1,000.

Central Saint Martins is a college within the University of the Arts and is recognised world wide for the quality of the education it provides.  It has been long known as a cradle for creative talent in all areas. Giles Deacon, Stephen Jones, Hannah Martin, Zoe Arnold call it their alma mater and alumni from CSM BA Jewellery Design have created stores such as Wright and Teague, Dinny Hall, EC One, or design for such eminent jewellery houses as Cartier, Givenchy and Tag Heuer.

The international class of students produce works both within the usual definition of jewellery and at its edges. This is a much anticipated show, and also the last to be held at the original building in Southampton Row before the move to brand new premises at Kings Cross.

Over the years, the show has proven to be an opportunity to discover new talents and to share new visions of jewellery. Do come and see this year’s exciting ideas, the everyday, the theatrical, the sinister and the unpredictable.
