Adam & Eve

Introduction

We're thrilled to introduce our first ever SPECIAL COLLABORATION: fellow Londoners, jewellery designer Lucy Hutchings, and illustrator and textile designer Athena Procopiou unveil the SCARF-NECKLACE. Handmade and produced exclusively for The Adam and Eve Projects it is available for purchase at our on-line shop. In addition the life of the Scarf-Necklace, from print design to final lashings of Swarovski is captured on film by the girls themselves with some very special cameos by Romeo, Athena's cat, and Pearl, Lucy's Pug.

Statement

“The project began with Athena's peacock feather colour palette, a signature in Lucy's previous collections. It was developed from a mixture between the two designers collections … an immersion. Athena was motivated to do something earthy and involving nature, mixing birds, reptiles, feathers etc … while Lucy gave the scarf another dimension by embellishing it and adding glamour. She decided to abandon colour and opted to create a metal chain mesh in black and gold plate that would interact with the fabric and allow the colours in the design to shine through. The designers wanted the mesh to echo the flow of the fabric, moving in the same way as the fabric so the two textures became one. Also, Lucy incorporated the jewels on the scarf without sewing so the wearer feels only "ONE" piece — the jewels are intertwined and unified with the scarf rather than appearing as an added extra.”
