DRESS TO KILL
MAGAZINE - December 2011
Dandi
Maestre Jewelry: Luxury of the Raw & Exotic
Toronto is proud to be home to one of the boldest jewelry and
accessories designers in the biz. Hailing from Colombia, Dandi
Maestre
draws her inspiration from nature and indigenous cultures, creating
pieces that dare to be loud, extreme and imperfect.
All elements of her jewelry pieces are natural and recycled, as they
are sourced from shores, rivers, forests and jungles. The rawness of
the designs
is striking; and you can be sure that one piece will be like no
other, since Dandi’s materials include: bone, driftwood, amber, shed
antlers, bull horns,
natural fibers, skulls and shells. Her philosophy is to handcraft
each item to serve as an art statement, rather than a decorative
piece.
We’re keeping our eyes on Dandi’s upcoming collection, Primal
Futurism, for Spring/Summer 2012, bound to be spotted in several
magazines in the New Year.
Inspiration is taken from the ancient and mythological, whose primal
and super-natural qualities are fused with technical and structural
aesthetics.
Dandi’s store on Huron St. (opened last year as a pop-up shop)
reflects her entire design vision, serving as a gallery space for
shoppers to view her creations.
Lovers of chunky necklaces, over-sized rings and earrings of raw
materials - welcome to exotic jewelry heaven!
Drop by the AGO shop this Friday, November 25th from 12-4 p.m. for a
trunk sale.
