Our CollecLons
“Our year long project for 2011, consists of 3 mini capsule collecLons, presented and curated into a series of pop-‐up engagement events. Where you will be able to try, buy and interact with our art work throughout the dura?on of the exhibi?on.”
MYM CollecLon -‐ Make Your Mark This collec?on explores different ways of mark making, literally and metaphorically. From sketching with a cigareSe to drawing with light. Being free and expressing yourself to the world as an independent thinker, explorer and achiever. Inspira?on is adapted from the characters and talented people around us, East London nightlife, un-‐conven?onal street art and our dreams. Collabora?vely designed into a new form of fashion jewellery.
Launch Night
On the 20th of May, the Red Bull Studios will be transformed into a mark making playground, where your body becomes the applica?on and the room is your canvas. Guests will get the chance to play with the installa?ons and purchase 1 of the 30 extremely limited edi?on, black & gold, Stööki jewellery pieces.
There will be 3 mark making sta?ons for you to engage with on the night:

ConstellaLon -‐ A large scale dot to dot placed on the wall, using numbered pins, UV lights and audience par?cipa?on to complete the image of a zodiac constella?on.
