PIFD Movable jewelry

My theme for the thesis project is movable jewelry. The basic inspiration has been taken from the simple moving objects like movable toys, and such playful things in which the movement of few elements create such an eye movement that it makes the viewer enjoy the sight. My pieces have mechanisms involved, on the basis of which, the decorative elements are going to move up and down, swing and rotate. All the pieces will have a silver or gold finishing with the rings actually made from silver and bangles out of copper.

Movable jewelry is new to be found in Pakistan, as it will have its focus on the movement of the elements rather than the beauty, which is the top priority of our local market.

My collection targets people who are fond of unique and artistic pieces and are trend setters. My concept behind making movable jewelry is to provide the wearer with not only a decorative, but also a playful, eye catching jewelry piece.

Brides on Move “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -- Mark Twain

My father read this quotation about twenty five years ago and as a result, I grew up travelling around Pakistan, exploring and being mesmerized by our culture. As a child, my greatest fear was overtaking or travelling behind a truck - those brides on move while travelling on slopes, which eventually developed my as- sociation with the art form they carry. A bejewelled traditional Pakistani truck is not just a vehicle. It is an unfolding grandeur, an emblem of a driver’s dream of an elaborately adorned Pakistani bride. “Brides on Move” is an amalgamation of vibrant Pakistani culture (of truck art) with innovation in design so as to make jewellery that would keep up with the pace of modern day life and address the issues of present consumer.

Farewell,My Queen’ Bows in New York

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson are no strangers to the step- and-repeat. “We’ve done this a few times before,” Jackson grinned at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on Monday night at the premiere of “Farewell, My Queen.” The actor initially hung off to the side before mugging with Kruger at the behest of the photo pit. The low neckline of Jackson’s black T-shirt mirrored that of his date: Kruger wore an appropriately regal ice-blue, sleeveless, floor-length, scoop-necked Azzedine Alaïa dress. She didn’t borrow it, she assured one partygoer, she bought it.

The film, based on a novel by Chantal Thomas, stars Kruger as a particularly convincing Marie Antoinette in the last days of her reign with Louis XIV. The familiar story is told through the eyes of the queen’s most devoted servant, played by Léa Seydoux (who did not attend the New York premiere). Directed by Benoît Jacquot, the film casts a decidedly sapphic tone over the female relationships of the court.
