This week, I got a
chance to meet the extremely talented jewellery designer, Zohra Rahman to
discuss her pop-up shop in Karachi and the elements that inspire her design
aesthetic.
Taking a look at Zohra's
collection, you can see that her work is nothing short of art, but while not
all art can be worn, Zohra ensures that her pieces are as commercially
appealing, as they are cutting edge. As Zohra would put it, 'I want my pieces
to be wearable and interactive. Not sitting in a museum'.

A native Lahori and a
Central Saint Martins graduate, Zohra's work pushes ideas, taking two
dimensional art and transforming it into three dimensional wonders. Making use
of sterling silver, she has hand made a collection that holds abstract yet
thought provoking pieces.

My favourite line is
'Unsent Letters' which was a idea she got while at university and explored it
once she began creating. For this line, Zohra has taken the idea of torn paper
and transformed them into beautiful earrings, cuffs, necklaces, rings and
broaches.

Her second collection,
'Moenjodaro' is made in connection with Pakistan. The line is made up of four
different, traditional personalities, namely The Hunter, The Builder, The
Vandal and The Charmer. On the other hand, Zohra's 'Minima' collection is all
about clean lines and basic pieces.

While all her pieces are
on trend (you'll see some beautiful chokers and mismatched earrings), the
ideology behind them transforms them into classic works of art. For me, what is probably most impressive is how she has managed to take a complicated idea and
convert it into clean and minimal designs.
