BA (Hons) Fashion Jewellery
www.roxannefarahmand.com ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Roxanne Farahmand is young and contemporary jewellery and accessory designer from London, who has graduated from London College of Fashion with a degree in BA (Hons) Fashion Jewellery. Roxanneâs AW 13/14 collection was inspired by the future of prosthetics, the way that they are perceived in society and their appropriation of the human form. Always having a great interest in the human bodyâs form and its functions that are inextricably and permanently linked, she was interested with the replacement of the body form and function by a prosthetic. These orthopedics and prosthetic enhancements replace the functions of the human body, mimicking it, simulating but transforming the human bodyâs form for a new aesthetic. Roxanne has created accessories and jewellery that reinvent both the body and prosthetics, with mouth pieces that have been designed from its anatomical functions, to body straps that have evolved from a traditional working orthopedic harnesses. Like a traditional Art Nouveau jeweller, Roxanneâs appropriation of the natural and organic human forms were abstracted and developed into man-made constructions to be worn on the body, similar to how prosthetics appropriate the human form. All her metal work has been 3D designed and 3D printed and all accessories were handmade in the finest leathers and precious metals.
