Hi Chailie! Hi buymedesign!
Thanks for inviting us in your studio at Innocenter Hong Kong
can you introduce us to your profile, studies abroad and fashion label?
Hi! I'm Chailie Ho, I'm a fashion designer
mainly focusing on women's wear and water colour print
I was born in Hong Kong and I had my design studies in London Central Saint Martins
for my BA in fashion women's wear
and then postgraduate I did innovative pattern cutting in saint martins as well
and then I worked in England for a year
and then I came back to Hong Kong in 2008
and I set up my own brand
This is the jerseys I made in Hong Kong
they are all printed, and silk fabrics, very feminin style
What I want to introduce you guys now is the Faba J jewelry we do
the Faba J bracelets
which are made of rabbit fur
so you can customize your rabbit fur bracelet with any clothes,
you have like many many many colours
yes, we've got fashionable colours
and also some natural colour like grey
it's real rabbit fur? Yes
and look, we have also bright colour and also natural colours as well
as well as black colour you know like many colours we wanted
and you can see how it looks when you wear it. Nice!
and it is good decoration as well as you can keep warm in the winter
So, to make Faba J piece of jewelry,
we're going to have this piece of tinted fur
and, we have to length, and then to cut it like the other pieces
and then use that to put the pieces together
so it is made of rabbit fur, right? Yes
and then you do like that. So you make like 8 pieces of this in this bit
so we connect 2 pieces together with this link. So what we do is we open it
everything is handmade? Yes, handmade in Hong Kong in our fashion studio
so, it's is going together and then you can close the loop
and then, we curve the pin, and put the metal ring
and then, put the bead
this bead is handmade as well,
so, all of them have a different shape, you can see they are all different
we found one and put it through
so, we bend the pin, and bend it again
How did you come up with this idea?
To make this jewelry you mean? Yes
Because, I like materials, I like fabrics a lot
and then, I do realize that nowadays, because of fast fashion,
there is also many opportunities for people to look at different materials
so I wanted to feature different special materials, like luxury materials or some heritage materials into jewelry
so I've finished one beat
To finish the bracelet with the 2 beads of fur, you use this small cirlce
tu put down together
and also the connect
