Lily Kamper / Lust List

Yes I know, it's been a very long time since I've been here. Three months in fact, which has flown by and with good reason. I've bought and moved into a new home, planned a wedding and got married, been on honeymoon and started a new job! So yes I've been busy, but now it's time to turn the attention to Black Neon, and all things creative. With this in mind there is one jeweller that I HAVE to tell you about, I've not seen work as exciting, modern and lovingly handmade in a long time.

Lily Kamper graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2012 and founded her label shortly after. During her time at RCA she experimented with dip dying a variety of materials, including perspex which is then turned by hand on a lathe to create the architectural shapes for her jewellery. Lily finishes the shapes with handmade gold and silver plated brass end caps and findings to create her final piece. Beautiful in the flesh and finished to a high standard, the work that goes into each piece is evident, pricing is reasonable around £80 - £250 making her product not only hugely desirable but also within sight of achieving. Lily Kamper will without doubt have a promising career ahead. Currently stocked at Young British Designers and Liberty there are certainly other stores waiting to snap her up!

Photoshoot by Mariah Do Vale using BLACK NEON SWIMWEAR

It's always great to see someone else interpretation of your designs, especially for swimwear shoots as it can be hard to make the shoot look interesting or different. Mariah loaned some Black Neon swimwear and here's the results of her shoot. Thanks Mariah they look great.

Moxham / Lust List

Moxham hits the nail on the head, hard. Londoner Madeleine Moxham (pictured below at Somerset House during LFW) previously trained and worked in fashion for a variety of designers such as Felder Felder and Aquascutum, following her MA at Nottingham Trent she focused on accessories. Using Oversized gold plated fastenings, chain, large eyelet and triangular detailing and leather strapping Moxham's statement pieces are modern and extremely wearable day or night.  The appearance of reference to bondage strapping and harnesses creates a sensual element to overall aesthetic of the brand. Moxham is top of my Lust List, to wear with simple silk t-shirts and jeans.
