Last month I went to the fancy Gladstone Hotel in ever-so artsy neighbourhood of West Queen West to see what the artsy artisans of Toronto had in store. (I like the word 'artsy'....nbd) The Gladstone's Artists & Fleas Market, an event created by the hotel's creative director Jeremy Vandermeji took place in the hotel's rustic Victorian ballroom. The place was full of artists and their craft, art, and designs. The one artist that really caught my eye was Emily Woudenberg of WOUDENBERG jewelry. Her latest collection of custom-made concrete jewelry, SLAB by WOUDENBERG, was so incredibly cool that I just had to write an article about it. So I did, for
Dress To KILL. Give her a
read ;).
Woudenberg's F/W 2012 collection features concrete pieces and materials like leather, rope, metal chain, studs, and semi precious stone beads. The collection was inspired by the artist's fascination with architecture, and the idea of concrete as a material for jewelry.
SLAB has this amazing dystopia, end of the world theme, that adds a grungy edge to any outfit. The designs are modern, sleek, beautifully crafted and have serious bad-ass feel.
