Jewelry Designer Hannah Martin Goes E-Commerce
Hannah Martin’s assailing luxury jewelry for men has positioned her as one today’s leading tastemakers in the world of design. She has worked as a consultant for both Cartier and Givenchy and her creations have been picked up by the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Chris Bailey, and Georgina Goodman. Martin’s collections rely heavily on narratives that involve hyper-males (imaginary and red-blooded) who are as villainous as they are elegant. Precisely because of the irresistible androgynous forces in her work, Martin’s pieces are constantly mentioned as being just as likable to women as they are to men. It was when Martin was working for Cartier by day, and hanging out with her rock and roll friends in Paris by night, that her line was conceived. In her collections, which she puts forth but once a year, she blends these two worlds beautifully. Her newest collection, inspired by a character called Vincent, calls up Soviet Russia and gangster iconography with sculptural pendants, thick emblem rings, and hand-cut onyx cuff links. Click on the title link to check out Martin's newly launched e-commerce site, including the debut of her newest collection.
