concept

Tomasz Donocik used motifs and inspiration from Soviet Russia. Looking at its platonic architecture, the military uniforms with their badges of honour and its distinctive iconography such as the star, he developed a jewellery collection that was essentially intended for a masculine, bold and rugged man. The choice of materials played a vital role in this collection. Bronze was juxtaposed with gold, silver and semi-precious stones. Tomasz looked at new alternative ways in which men can wear jewellery. The collection's intention was to become an essential wardrobe staple for any male.
