totally tubular jewels

August 15, 2008 12:40 pm

Since her graduation in 2007 from Central Saint Martins, a.k.a. the world’s finest fashion talent factory, Maria Francesca Pepe has inaugurated an eponymous line of jewelry that blurs the line between clothing and accessories. Her Fall 2008 lookbook features Br-”It” girl Alice Dellal in a series of seductive necklaces that play off handbag silhouettes. The witty neckpieces are crafted from calf leather, sheepskin, and caiman and iguana skins, paired with silver, brass and other metals. Pepe’s signature pieces are her “tubulars,” which carry over from season to season—bold pieces of body art built from flexible, linked metal segments that twist and turn around the wearer’s torso. With editorial coverage in fashion-forward bibles such as Purple, Self-Service, and Italian Vogue and a stockist list that ncludes Dover Street Market and Erickson Beamon, Pepe delivers a dose of conceptual edge to fans who can do without dainty jewelry.
