Backstory:
Shaun was asked by McQueen to create a stag horn silhouette for the clothing, and later, a larger structure that would adorn and wrap the models thighs in stag horns. In the studio, he casually held one of these horns up to his ear, and McQueen was sold. A symbol of Elegant Empowerment. Shaun created the earring. One was enough – to set the tone. Made in lengths ranging between 6inch and 12inch, each model wore just one.
A single earring, symbolic of individualism and anti-establishment.
The earring was spirted, lively in its movement, elegantly working with the body and promoting a fearlessness that was so attractive and empowering to see. It was a daring & provocative silhouette, due to the length, that sharp point and the fact it was a single powerful statement. Moreover it was refined, the details were considered and proportioned to perfection.
The silhouette, aptly named Tusk in-house became the No. 1 – owing to it’s place as the first piece for the House.
