Label: Monique Péan
Need to know: Monique has been quietly showing her collection to editors and buyers for the past several fashion seasons. This time around, the designer did a bigger presentation at the Danziger Projects gallery space in Chelsea, and the collection was the most comprehensive yet. Péan’s latest efforts were inspired by her recent visit to Guatemala. The collection, named K’Atun, has a particular focus on geometric pattern, ancient and modern architecture, and the repetition of symbols and shapes. It’s the first time the designer is using fossilized dinosaur bone in the collection, for her signature rings. My favorite is pictured above.
She says: “Although everything is handmade, I want it to have a finished look. Even our Muyal fossilized woolly mammoth ring with multiple stripes inside (pictured) is done by hand but looks machine-done.”
Where to find it: Barneys New York.
