Vivienne Westwood @ Exclusive ‘Baia and Amelia’ Collection

Vivienne Westwood launches exclusive ‘Baia and Amelia’ collection, as seen on the Vivienne Westwood SS2014 catwalk show. The collection features design notes taken from the rich culture of India, inspired by Maharajas draped in ornate jewels. The Baia necklace presents three sumptuous medallions in black marble, topped with a Georgian inspired bow which is hung from traditionally knotted coloured cord. The Amelia necklace is adorned with three faceted Azurite drop pendants, surrounded by black diamond crystals and framed by two teal cotton tassels. Each piece from the special edition Baia and Amelia collection is presented in a hand-made gift pouch.

“We took inspiration from India. And of course the first great impression is the Indian Rajas with their heavy-lidded almond eyes and their perfumed beards, their turbans and covered in a wealth of jewels- no human creatures have ever been so wealthy.” Vivienne Westwood.
