Half Chinese, half Irish, Bliss Lau was raised in Hawaii and studied in New York. She launched her handbag collection immediately after completing a degree in apparel design from Parsons School of Design and finally four years later transitioned the collection into the markedly distinct body-jewelry of today. She blurs the lines between the garment and accessory. All of the jewelry is created and designed three-dimensionally using traditional garment draping techniques. Each season, Bliss focuses on a new part of the body to enhance and decorate, inspiration is found in history, the study of Hawaiian culture or corsets and armor as well as the architecture of New York such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Chrysler building. My favourite is the one above. I NEED!:)

The environment, conservation and recycling has been getting more and more attention the past little while. Perhaps these new accessories are one of the most clever ways of showing that you’re down for the cause. These are the brainchild of Belgian designer, Martin Margiela, who most often favours can openers, adds a bit of gold to them, and places them on rings, necklaces, and bracelets.
