The urban warrior:Armor jewelry

We are women, we're warriors inside, there are tons of things we have to fight every day,but on the outside we may look inoffensive.
Among us there are brave girls who dare to show they're aggressiveness on the outside too.
For those followers of Xena the warrior princess here's some really heavy jewerly.
Heavy metal armors for the urban gladiator by the designer Fannie Schiavoni chosen in the new gen project by topshop.
I expecially like the last pic, this huge collar, the single elements are like feathers, it's like a metal bird.
I like metal structures because i like how the single elements joined move all together.

FANNIE SCHIAVONI

Siamo donne, siamo guerriere, ci sono moltissime cose per le quali dobbiamo lottare tutti i giorni anche se viste da fuori possiamo sembrare inoffensive.
Ma tra noi ci sono donne che non temono di mostrare la loro aggressività anche all'esterno.
Per queste moderne seguaci di Xena la principessa guerriera ecco dei gioielli veramente aggressivi. Delle vere e proprie armature pesanti pensate dalla stilista Fannie Schiavoni scelta anche nel progetto new gen di topshop.
Mi piace particolarmente l'armatura dell'ultima foto, da vera regina guerriera.
Ogni singolo elemento sembra una piuma metallizzata, sembra un'aquila di metallo.
Trovo le strutture metalliche fatte dall'accumulo di signoli pezzi che poi si muovono tutti insieme molto affascinanti.
