concept
Christine's knitted collars were developed with basic garments in mind, the kind of clothes everyone possesses. This is casual jewellery meant to be worn together with casual clothes like sweatshirts, t-shirts and tank tops. Christine was partially inspired by black and white movies, with an added futuristic taste. She asked herself: how would a pretty secretary from a 1950s movie look if she got kidnapped and placed in a science fiction movie like “Dune”? Her goal was to come with a collection of collars that could be worn by anyone with regular clothes, to change their look with very little effort.
