concept

Heirloom pieces and mourning artefacts crafted to the highest ethical standards, reflecting heritage and culture blending the use of digital technology and traditional craftsmanship. Ninja developed her own legacy for this world, jewellery pieces to be handed down to the generations long after she is gone. Each piece becomes part of her family history, a rite of passage from mother to daughter, from aunt to niece. A handkerchief, a dress, a jewel, are transformed into symbols of family roots. They embody a woman telling her own story and that of the people who shaped and gave meaning to her world. Ninja exploits fashion to educate towards sustainability, to create a positive impact, to empower and to heal.
