“The bastard form of mass culture is humiliated repetition… always new books, new programs, new films, news items, but always the same meaning.”

Just enough rocker chick chic by Martine Sitbon to raise the adore level.

The collection is a blurring of the lines between art and jewellery and the worlds of Mikael Zobel and ACNE . The collection consists of over 20 pieces and is a combination of raw and polished stones – 212 cts Rubelith, Kunzite, White and Violet Jade, Rutilated quartz, as well as black, pink, yellow and uncut diamonds. All stones are set in either gold, platinum, or silver which is used in juxtaposing contexts. Sometimes polished other times oxidised, decorated or plated – each piece being designed to complement the stones and function. The forms are clean and sculptural sometimes naturally feminine but always with a slight nod to ACNE’s tough edge. The collection comprises of pendants, brooches, cuffs and rings.

Rita Ackermann designed a print used in the United Bamboo A/W 09/10 collection. The looks are reminiscent of schoolgirl / boy uniforms with use of melton wool and organdy contrasted by ultra modern architectural forms constructed with hexagonal and triangular pattern pieces.
