With her new spring collection entitled Heroes, Maria Black wishes to celebrate and cherish the heritage she shares with the 99% of us and all the middle class heroes she was surrounded by back then and still have in her life today. Growing up in an urban environment with concrete playgrounds and high rise buildings, the most glamorous thing she could think of was her grandmother’s 1950s dresses and her jewellery box.
The collection exudes quiet, unpretentious personality and the minimalist, graphic rings calls to be stacked with similar styles or combined with the heirloom ring closest to your heart. Maria Black’s tough-yet-feminine collection caters to both sexes and is comprised of rings, hoops, ear cuffs, necklaces, bracelets and an anklet. True to style, it strikes the perfect balance between edgy and beautiful, classy and minimalistic to the bone. The dainty, goes-with-everything pieces embodies an effortless approach to dressing up with a playful and conspicuous sensibility, and the Heroes collection stands on the shoulder of the designers previous unisex collections and her distinct idea of gender fluidity.
This collection will be available by the end of March. Meanwhile check out the rest at www.maria-black.com
