The Baguette Collection by Greek designer Ileana Makri, among archaic icons and modern shapes ♦
She graduated in business administration. But instead the career of manager, she has preferred that of designer, between Athens and New York. The her most loved school achievement is, in fact, the Gia, in Santa Monica, California, where she learned the secrets of the stones. For more than 20 years since its debut (1996), she continues to be considered a flag carrier of the rock chic style, since its jewels are precious but also very cool, also adopted by Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Rihanna and Halle Berry.
Her style also includes the use of gold, diamonds and precious stones, archaic, mystical, traditional symbols, along with simple geometries, but which seem to have that classicity that has been the key to the success of the monumental architecture of ancient Greece.
For example, the shape of the evil eye (the jewels of the Evil Eye and Crying Eye series), but also the Baguette collection, which adopts diamonds with linear shape. Her success, however, is also linked to the idea of to have precious jewelery, ok, but also to wear without too much trouble: “I do not care about jewels that are worn three times a year, but pieces that always accompany the woman,” she said. Prices range from $ 800 to $ 20,000, and are also purchased online. Giulia Netrese
