TOUGH CHIC
Assad Mounser Spring 2011
We first met New York-based designer Amanda Assad Mounser when she worked for shoe-designer Alejandro Ingelmo, and have been obsessed with her unique glam rock jewelry line since its debut last year. For her Spring 2011 collection, entitled Neo Conquistador, Mounser mixes her signature accoutrements such as bullet charms, crosses, chains and studs with bold new elements. Bright colored gemstones and beads blend effortlessly into the mix, adding a much-welcomed explosion of color and whimsy to create something a little more unexpected. Our favorite piece from this season? The Assad Mounser Cataclysm Collar, which would certainly liven up even our most minimalistic Spring frock.
