Check out the Spankin' new jewelry we received this week. These pictures are just a small glimpse of the much wider selection available exclusively at our store (234 Grand St, BK).
These pieces are created by Detroit based fashion designer and fine artist Lauren Rassel, who works with mixed mediums to create one of a kind accessories, clothing, installations and scultptures. Fusing repurposed materials with a traditional education in fashion design + fine art Rassel produces functional pieces made by hand with artist apprentices. Initially, a model and makeup artist, Rassel decided to become a designer while living in Paris in 2002. Inspired by the cooperative nature of 'Le Shop', a famous mecca of stores within a store she returned to the US inspired by independent Parisian designers like Tim Bargot. In 2002, she began selling handmade clothes and custom painted purses online and in boutiques in Detroit area.
The signature line 'Lauren Rassel' was born in 2011 with a heavy emphasis on accessories, sizelessness and wearability. Rassel's pieces aim to stand out and encourage a break from aesthetic uniformity.
And now 'Lauren Rassel' jewelry is available at Love Brigade!
