Fashion jewellery is created with the catwalk and couture in mind, characterized by its creativity and originality. It is arguably the most exciting field in fashion today. Arranged by designer, this is the first book to showcase contemporary catwalk and couture jewellery, profiling 33 international fashion jewellers who combine traditional techniques and ultra-modern methods to create this new style of jewellery. Among the stunning images of work shown are collaborations with leading fashion designers and brands such as Lanvin, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Comme des Garçons, as well as collections for directional fashion stores such as Colette and 10 Corso Como.
Fashion Jewellery will provide inspiration for designers, jewellers and students of fashion, offering a unique insight into the working methods and inspirations of a new generation of jewellers. Showcasing skilled craftsmanship, unusual materials and an often limited-edition approach Fashion Jewellery harnesses the spirit of couture for the 21st century.
Since graduating from Central Saint Martins, freelance writer and editor Maia Adams has contributed fashion and lifestyle articles to publications including British Vogue, Elle, The Guardian, The Sunday Times Travel Magazine and Wallpaper*. Based in London, Maia is also a visiting lecturer on the fashion degree courses at Barcelona’s Design Institute and the University of the Creative Arts in the UK.
What I think about the Book
11/05/2010
I like this book because...
It shows lots of different ideas on how you could create jewellery.There is jewellery you would only see on the catwalk and jewellery you could see someone wearing in town or there is some which could be for both.
I liked the bright and colourful jewellery. Some of the jewellery I would wear myself. I also liked the use of different materials.
These are a few of the pages I especially liked 36,52,54,64,90,108,127,138,152,177,195 and 198. (this is just so that if you have the book you might like these pages too!)
I hope you find this helpful.

As expected

As expected, once more Maia Adams has delivered a first class piece of work.
She has given relevance and clarity to a subject which needed direction.
Her research and lucidity makes of Fashion Jewellery, her beautifully presented book, a bible for the fashion industry and fashonistas around the world.
