Genderless – Change – JD Annual Design Awards 2018

Award: Best Executed Collection
Collection Name: Genderless
Designer: Rakshitha Deviah

Androgynous clothing created waves in the fashion industry, countering conventional ideas of what constitutes men’s and women’s fashion. This year, the gender-bending aesthetic enters the jewellery territory to give a new vision to it. This gender blurring has prompted the designer to come up with a jewellery line that breaks the stereotype barrier and designs for the people who fall outside traditional norms or who choose not to label their identities. To be more inclusive and promote acceptance, this collection has been designed keeping in mind the “people” and not gender. Inspired by galaxies, the pieces are crafted in pure silver with Ethiopian opal gemstones which include detail and colour that have a universal appeal. From one-of-a-kind ear cuffs to quirky rings, these designs reflect the bold style of it. Planets, galaxy swirls, gold plated shooting stars, iridescent opals, shimmery rainbow colours are used in the collection to celebrate individuality and self-expression. Presented by: Rakshitha Deviah from Jewellery Designing 2017 Batch.
