We couldn’t help but notice accessory designer Alexis Bittar’s recent collections that channel the iconic Grace Jones. Alexis is famed for his brilliant bedazzled bangles, disco-driven neckwear and his overall geometric geniusness. The jeweler forms all of his creations using earths most precious elements, dipped metals and hand-painted lucite. Like Grace, each season he continues to sweeten our souls with unconventional imagery and a knack for all things accessory. Become a slave yourself.
And catch a sneak-peek of what an average day looks like for Alexis Bittar…
