New York-based jeweller Alexis Bittar is celebrating regaining control of his eponymous jewellery brand with an exuberant new collection that revels in oversized proportions and bold design accents.
Jewellery plays on offbeat forms; earrings wind around the earlobe or graze the shoulders, while ribbons of gold coil around the neck. Surreal silhouettes are celebrated in crystal-embellished face masks or glistening spiders that crawl around the wrist in an encapsulation of Bittar’s ‘classic craftsmanship with a futuristic vision’ aesthetic.
A seductive juxtaposition of materials lends a sensuality to Bittar’s jewellery, with the pastel hues of lucite a playful foil for the gleaming ripples of gold. ‘Lucite is my first love, but liquid gold has always been part of my design handwriting,’ Bittar adds. ‘Fusing that with leather was a completely new direction for me. I love the new angular oversized clutch, it has a tinge of Debbie Harry and reminds me of the disco parties at Maxim’s in the 1980s.’return to the helm of his company.
