Acclaimed label Silk & Steel has reintroduced its Couture Collection, featuring a creative mix of contemporary and vintage pieces.
Silk & Steel has relaunched its signature Couture Collection, paying homage to the brand’s strong 16-year history of making handcrafted, one-of-a-kind jewellery with a touch of vintage glamour and contemporary flair.
Reminiscent of the era belonging to the 1920s, 1940s and 1950s, Silk & Steel has garnered a reputation for its bespoke pieces created from brooches, earrings and jewellery fragments. Its original creations have since laid the foundation for its bold modern vintage style.
The return to one-of-a-kind pieces has blended collectable classic pieces with directional materials like curb chains, gemstones, faux pearls and signature spike and cross detailing. The new chapter of the Couture Collection has aimed to celebrate heritage and reinvention, and all pieces are made in Silk & Steel’s studio in Auckland.
Sarah Cotterall, Founder and Creative Director of Silk & Steel, said that couture was a celebration of the label’s ‘why’, and explored the artistry, individuality and stories behind each piece.
“This collection honours our past, while pushing boundaries with future-focused, collectable design,” said Cotterall.
Every piece in the Couture Collection has been designed to be entirely unique, each showcasing its own individual characteristics and style. Many pieces in the collection feature repurposed brooches, from vintage pieces to iconic mid-century houses like Weiss, while others showcase sculptural chain work, convertible silhouettes, and limited-edition artisan detailing.
Whether it's a necklace, a pair of earrings, or a body piece, every design is handcrafted to allude to the status of a wardrobe staple.
Highlights of the Couture Collection include the starburst body harness that transforms any outfit, a double-chain necklace featuring a 1950s vintage brooch, or a striking mixed-metal spike design, Silk & Steel Couture has invited fashion-lovers to experience a rare and exciting collection.
Since it was established in 2009, Silk & Steel has become one of New Zealand’s most prominent brands, known for its attention to detail, focus on quality and craftsmanship, aesthetic and fusing of elegance with creative edge.
