concept

Ofir worked with familiar icons and shapes. He gave them new meaning by developing body jewellery, mixing fashion textile architecture with industrial design. The collection is a representation of three different types of women, each wearing a specific style. A neck and arm piece recalling medieval armour, and luxurious lace and golden neck pieces that look like backbones and drive inspiration also from the interlocking techniques of puzzles.
