Milano Fashion&Jewels
From the analysis of the contemporary scene it is possible to identify trajectories, emerging themes that define aesthetic connotations, inspiration for companies and designers in the sector.
The digital talk, organised by Homi Fashion&Jewels in collaboration with Poli.design, aims to present the trends for jewellery for the next two years, in terms of aesthetic, shapes, materials and innovation.
After an introduction to the topic, the two macro-trends will be analysed: Slow Renaissance and Inner Identity. Each trend covers inspirational mood boards, lifestyle boards describing the target consumer of reference and micro-trends.
Lastly, the talk includes a moment of discussion with guests, professionals and experts in the sector, who will tell their point of view, offering a direct opinion on the contemporary landscape.
This session will be of interest to independent designers, companies and professionals working in the jewellery sector.
· How are jewellery trends identified?
· What are the new trends for 20-22?
· What will be the new aesthetic connotations that the trends will bring?
· How can these trends affect the design and production activity of a jewellery brand?

Designer and Founder of Aonie
She graduated in Business Administration at Bocconi University in Milano. She began her working life at Versace in press and comunication. After 3 years in Versace she won a master in Luxury Management at Creative Academy, the school of Richemont Group. She worked as jewellery product development for Montblanc in Hamburg where she collaborated at the launch of the high jewellery line. In 2008 she founded the brand Aonie with her sister Consuelo where she actually works like strategic director. Aonie is a perfect union between fashion, femininity and tradition. The attentive look is at: the fashion, the world new trends and the huge care of the detail, considered the aspect which creates the difference. Essential Romanticism and a passion for vintage meet graphics and metal for an urban and contemporary twist, between contrast and balance. The result of this creative process is an evocative range of jewels, dreamy.
Creative Director of Ornella Bijoux
I was born in Milan in 1964; my studies were oriented on Classics and I got a degree on Political Sciences with a focus on Journalism. For ten years, I was a full-time sport journalist following sport events as I have always been very passionate about sport. However, with the coming together of my family and the birth of my two child Pietro and Marta, I have decided to unlikely concentrate on family, especially because my work’s timetable was very hard to combine with my personal life. Around my thirties, just for fun, I have designed and built my own brand of bags made out of recycled materials, mainly using the fabric of American’s army camouflage shirts and bicycle tires. Later on, I felt the call to join my family business as it was offering me the opportunity to grow professionally and be creative even if in a different context from the one I have envisioned. From there onwards I have joined my mother -Maria Vittoria Albani- the soul of Ornella bijoux. By going back in a place where everything has started thirty-five years back, a place that has always been my own world, a place where I have grown up and unconsciously developed myself technically and creatively, I have finally found my home and opened up my heart.
