VDF products fair: Austrian jewellery artist Petra Zimmermann has captured black silk fabric inside acrylic to create the outsized body of her Vanity Vague ring.
With its gold-coloured edges and chainmail-like detailing the design is reminiscent of a bygone era, like much of Zimmermann's work.
That's because her designs are generally based on found costume jewellery from the previous century, which is suspended in plastic to offset its historical opulence.
Most recently, Zimmermann has been variously reworking and subverting these references through the introduction of mass media images of models, design objects or architecture.
She is one of 15 designers being spotlighted at the VDF products fair by Austrianfashion.net –a platform championing designers who are born or based in Austria.
