"Fifteen years ago, still a student at L'Ecole Duperre in Paris, French jewellery designer Justine Clenquet launched her namesake label at the precocious age of 18. From the outset, there was a gritty, sparkly energy behind it all an urge to make jewellery that bridged the high and the low, the grit of street grunge and the poise of dress-up adulthood; designs that her friends wanted, and could afford, to wear."
"To mark the brand's 15th anniversary, Clenquet presents Re-Edition, a collection less about nostalgia than evolution looking back to move forward. Signature early designs like the Ava and Amy earrings reappear, though tempered by years of experimentation and craft. But you can still clearly recognise the brand's DNA, she explains, the asymmetry, the mix of gold and silver, the combination of rings and chains."
Justine Clenquet launched her namesake jewellery label at 18 while still a student at L'Ecole Duperre in Paris. Early work combined gritty street grunge with poised, dress-up adulthood, producing affordable pieces friends wanted to wear. For the brand's 15th anniversary Clenquet presents Re-Edition, revisiting signature designs like the Ava and Amy earrings refined by years of experimentation and craft. The brand's DNA remains evident in asymmetry, mixed metals and ring-and-chain combinations. The range has expanded into shoes, bags and sunglasses. Subversive cinema influences the work; pieces have appeared in Scream 6, the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, and Gregg Araki's I Want Your Sex.
