Jewelry + Fashion collaboration

Alexis Bittar, is set to design an exclusive jewelry collection for Jason Wu's Spring/Summer show.

For Bittar, the pieces are bold, graphic, and immediately gratifying in the sense that they deliver an on-the-pulse design everyone is in the mood to wear. For Wu's part, rich textures and finishes betray a seamless mix of polish and cool-girl verve that underlies much of the young designer's genius.

In Wu's description, the aim of the collaboration is to "create movement with metal. The collection was inspired by the simplicity of the 70's but has the texture of crumpled paper."

 The oversized, sinuously contoured cuffs and rings, are finished in a luxe matte black and, as with all Alexis Bittar pieces, crafted entirely by hand in his Brooklyn workshop.

Rows of Bittar's iconic color-infused Lucite bangles.

A new collection of Bittar Navajo bracelets are beaded by hand.

 Inspired by Art Deco bakelite designs, and the fluidity of early 1900's Lalique glass pieces.

Pieces from Bittar's Elements collection, and new materials put to use for the designer's forthcoming Resort collection.
