In their latest collection entitled “Venus Comb, Murex Shell” Botter, the Dutch creative duo made up of Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy Botter have turned colorful little cars into jewelry. Necklaces and rings adorn unstructured suits, lagoon-blue undershirts and striped rugby jerseys. Always on the look-out for hidden meaning, Botter’s style aficionados will search for significance in this departure from the norm, as the designers from the island of Curacao have until now always produced protest collections railing against climate threats. Regressive and playful, these toy jewels are also reminiscent of the pretty necklaces made from fishing hooks by the duo in 2021. Why not try to make some yourself, while you’re at it?
