This week, somebody’s lounge has a seat with your name written all over it. Your goal is to look fresh, not juvenile. Punchy, but not too deliberate. You perform a quick mental scan of your clothing options. Royal purple blazer, check, simple black dress, check, slouch boots, check. Everything is falling into place. You recline, silently satisfied that you’ve prepared an outfit without even opening your closet door, an accomplishment of only a true visionary. But visionaries need accessories, too.
Chanel Kennebrew, creator and head designer of Junkprints, has women with egos in mind when designing jewelry and clothing of limited supply and infinite style. Not only are Kennebrew’s creations fashionably expressive, they’re kind to the environment. Her Boss Lady Record and Visionary necklaces were made with vinyl records that Kennebrew recycled and constructed for the H.C.I.C., Head Chick in Charge, and the female who foresees herself as one.
Tuxedo slacks and a sophisticated camisole are perfect when paired with the Bow On Top necklace. Kennebrew crafted this necklace from discarded zippers. Astounded by what someone else considered “junk,” Kennebrew fashioned the zippers into a nine-inch bow tie and attached it to a gold, Chanel-style chain. An eye-catching accessory for the not so feint of art.
Junkprints offers clothing and accessories that are perfect for those of us who want a look as identifiable and exclusive as DNA. Since all of her pieces are produced in such modest quantities, Kennebrew ensures her designs are for the wearing pleasure of a select few. So the next time you're mulling over wardrobe choices and feel uninspired by your accessory options, check out Junkprints for rare pieces that speak to your personal style.
