TFW dairy: Micalla brings glitz, glamour, and Swarovski

For her Spring 2012 jewellery collection show, Micalla designer Camilla Jorgensen brought on the glitz and glamour. The larger-than-life pieces sparkled with Swarovski crystals, which had obvious undertones of: “Look at me!” The oversized, chunky, and bedazzling pieces may not be your everyday jewellery, yet the models could have easily persuaded us otherwise. However, there was one notable concern—I had to constantly remind myself that these pieces were designed for spring, not for winter. A heavy necklace embellished with frost-like crystals seemed fit for a snow queen, and the lack of bright colours left me confused. These winterized pieces seemed better suited for women accessorizing for the Christmas holidays or a New Year’s bash.

TFW diary: Jewels take the stage at Micalla

Montreal based jewelry designer Camilla Jorgensen said, “we are thinking about our future and our past” when describing her latest Micalla collection. Seventies Hollywood glamour set the stage for Jorgensen’s collection as models strutted down the runway to Jazz music in sexy LBDs with their hair tousled in short blonde bobs pinned at the side. The perfect palette for the jewelry to shine, and did it ever. The models were draped in jewels, everything from bold statement necklaces to Swarovski encrusted chokers with chains oozing from them. The most memorable by far were the fringe-like crystal harnesses. I was inspired by Camilla’s ability to make the jewellery the entire focus of the outfit, at times resembling actual pieces of clothing. And really, who doesn’t want to be draped crystals?
