Louis Sullivan is one of the greatest architects of the 19th and 20th century and is considered as the “father of skyscrapers”. At the height of his career, he declared that “the forms and lines of a design must serve its functionality”, a saying that is still correct and current in 2024 and finds application throughout Katerina Vassou’s new jewelry collection for season F /2 2O24-2025. Pieces influenced by prevailing trends in architecture combine high aesthetics and luxury with geometric design, alternating the fluidity of curves with the rigor of straight designs.
In ultimately modern style, the philosophy of the “FLŌ” collection reflects the mindset of the designer, Katerina Vassou, as well as one of the brand’s main principles: every woman’s dynamism and uniqueness lie at the core of the label’s creative DNA with each piece of jewelry to indicate its nature at the first glance. For women to choose to wear Katerina Vassou’s creations it means they appreciate boldness and sensationalism in everyday life. The linearity of her designs become part of a perpetual “game” between different shapes and materials.
For another season the imagination and creativity of the designer is expressed by Brown, blue, petrol and white crystals as well as by agate and pearls which all create stylish combos with brass. Being not afraid to experiment with oversized volumes but also with small, discreet designs, Katerina Vassou focusses on the masterfully crafted details appeared in all her pieces.
Circles, pre-defined or irregular, are the main protagonist of a collection of necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings which employs brass and semi-precious stones with mathematical precision and consistency. However, none of the new Katerina Vassou jewelry loses neither its functionality nor its austere character. Mindless impression and “chatter” of the lines is not the point. Rather, designs’ selective targeting elevates them as key items for the new season. This collection is exactly what its name says: fluid and at the same time compact within its contrasts.
When it comes to jewelry, geometry, mathematics and creator’s artistic instinct provide a second to none blueprint. One of constant principles amid a volatile and ever-changing reality is that jewels form a lifetime relationship with the ones who pick and choose them.
