Visceral Beauty - Handmade Accessories

  • Michela Vianelli

During NABA course Handmade Accessory with Prof. Francesco Ballestrazzi, I developed my first accessories collection using alternative materials and experimenting with new techniques. Starting from WGSN trend boards I developed a moodboard and color scheme based on inner beauty, blood, and bones to end up with a four-piece collection. I made a thermo-shaped material mask dyed with a special technique I experimented on bags as well, recycling old nail polish; a series of two eco-leather bags and a body jewel made with wire, acrylics, and Swarovski applications to resemble circulatory system.
