Brut Icon: a selection of talent not to be missed at Premiere Classe
From 1 to 4 March, the show will be hosting a selection of young, exciting brands.
Here's a sneak preview of the must-have names you won't want to miss.
Mussels & Muscles: dreamlike jewellery
Vienna-based designer Lea Köhn lies behind this quirky brand name (Mussels & Muscles). Launched in 2021, Mussels & Muscles combines a creative approach that juggles art and design, where each piece is handmade using recycled or responsibly sourced materials. Each collection is a new story, illustrated by emotional photos such as this season's XXL natural pearl bracelets.
FA2BRO: recycled silver is its business
Marion Fabbro left the world of fashion and luxury to become a jewellery artisan, to fulfil her aspirations and work in a way that respects people and the environment.
Based in Nantes, she has made her family name her brand name (spell it Fabbro and you'll understand). Discover playful, gender-neutral handmade pieces, (meaning the metal is worked directly with tools, without being melted or cast in moulds) with old cutlery, and second-hand chains for the "Mooring eye" pendant. All in 925 sterling silver. What an original way to upcycle!
Moncomble: avant-garde jewellery
With his Lacrima face jewellery, Parisian Camille Moncomble has been making a name for himself since 2019. Half jeweller, half poet, he dreams up pieces that push against conventions and respond to emotions.
Moncomble likes to innovate both visually and technically, so Camille has rethought the 'honeycomb' jewellery technique, transforming it into a unique aesthetic element. The latest pieces (rings, earrings or bracelets) in silver or vermeil are a testament to this, delicately adorning the body.
Pontet eyewear: eyewear that takes you on a journey
Originally hailing from Marseille, working in the eyewear business for four generations and boasting 8 addresses in the city, how could Hermès Pontet have done anything else? But instead of selling glasses, the young man chose to design them, with Pontet becoming a brand that now boasts 3 collections. With a first name that embodies the god of travel, each year Hermès Pontet has chosen a country as his inspiration. After Egypt, Greece and Italy, what will be the next destination? But they all have on thing in common - graphic frames, colour and gradients.
Pat Studio puts the bag in a box
Despite their contemporary aesthetic, the bags designed by Patricia Sáinz Martín, the founder of Pat Studio, are reminiscent of the 1950s. With their retro look and ultra-chic allure, they set the tone for today's leather goods for women seeking style.
Trapezoid, rectangle or semi-oval in shape, each bag is a small leather case lined with suede, and contains a mirror and closes with a beautiful little rotating latch. But the ultimate detail is the transparent methacrylate handle. Pat Studio is all about made in Spain, and her cases are soon to be complemented by a jewellery collection.
