I love my edgy fashions, partially for the aesthetic and partially for the ethos. The Punk-Rock movement changed fashion forever in the 70's, but let's not forget that the daring looks were rooted in politics and social awareness. So I was pleased to see the latest in rocker jewelry has the balls to put their money where their (aesthetic) mouth is. Yassai 7 has created a fantastic collection of roughed-up mixed-up metals in cool designs that would set off any Alexander Wang inspired look you might put together. I adore what they have done, especially since I have been looking for non-hippy ways to adorn myself with peace signs (it's been 7 years, people). And now, if you buy a piece, you can also congratulate yourself for donating to a cause. For 7 seasons, Yassai 7 will create different lines, each dedicated to a different cause. This season is particularly devoted to stopping blood diamonds (an appropriate start for a jeweler, me-thinks). Yes, sanctions have been laid down by the international community to stop blood diamonds, but the problem still remains, which is why Yassai 7 will be donating a portion of their profits to the cause.
So next time you don your biker boots and pyramid studded ensemble, let it be about something, like it was in the 70's.
