Backstory:
Born out of the first ever commission in 1997, from the late formidable Isabella Blow – who requested an anklet, like the ones worn by the Italian ladies of the night. An early patron to some of the greatest names in fashion, Isabella saw the potential in Shaun as a creative force, at an early stage, from the work he created with Alexander McQueen, another creative talent she championed and nurtured, right up until her untimely demise.
The anklet was so daring, before it’s time. It had an edgy elegance, dangerous and sharp to look at but so perfectly formed to the alignment of her graceful ankle. Painstakingly considered and proportioned to accommodate her gait, to move with her without harming or causing irritation. Perfectly fitting, like a second skin. For such a sophisticated couture dressed lady, this was a bold piece, yet so refined and elegant. Perfectly tailored.
