Today the Spotlight is on Justin Giunta, of Subversive Jewelry. “I lay out the materials like paint on a palette, and draw together disparate elements of color and texture…morphing them to ensure they land appropriately into the composition, valuing every scrap as the potential ‘ringer’ in another piece,” he says. “The way I design comes naturally because it is how I, as an artist, deconstruct coded messages of the past and present and assemble them to create my own visual language.”

The Spotlight is BoF’s showcase for emerging talent employing creativity and business acumen to make their mark in the fashion business.
