DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGERS // Women // Added 2009/11/03 at 19:25

DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER is the second collaboration between Berlin-based designers Jennifer Ann Gilpin and Kyle Callanan.

The collection is inspired by detailed studies of Art Deco stained glass techniques and composition, mixing the rich textures of fine calf leather with the lofty transparency and iridescence of silk. Leather is used to define the lines and contours of the body, while silk adds a sense of fluidity and levity to meticulously crafted forms.

Only the finest materials are used throughout the collection, lending an exquisite sense of materiality to the captivating forms. It is a connoisseurs collection, full of exquisite items to be collected and worn.
