FINISH THEM

Devaja is a joint project of two Spanish artists, Rocio Soria de Vaja and Ana Pez, based in Madrid. Their INFLAMMATORY earring collection was shot on models with styling reminiscent of characters from Mortal Combat cut with a Street Fighter aesthetic.

The INFLAMMATORY collection, as well as the whole philosophy of the Devaja brand, is characterized by challenging what has been established and questioning everything that has reigned so far in jewellery, as well as creating a social dialogue through its designs.

WORDS BY THE AUTHORS / The INFLAMMATORY designs break the rules of jewellery by showing and giving full prominence to the traditional earring closure systems used to hold the earring in place without falling out.

An example of this is the traditional butterfly pressure closure, which we’ve placed in the foreground, maximizing its dimensions and redesigning its shape. Or the common omega closure, which is now holding onto the ear but in plain sight, compared to common practice of hiding it behind the earlobe.

We strive to make jewels that make people think. With our transgressive designs, we try to inspire and invite you to think: why are the current rules correct? Why is the traditional way the best way to do things? 

[change is our inspiration]

Georgian designer Lado Bokuchava, the founder of the eponymous fashion label, describes his upcoming Spring/Summer 2026 collection as “exploring the contrast between sophistication and unease”, among other things.

Fashion designer Alicia Gu weaves mythology from grief and renewal, creating garments that pulse with vulnerability and ceremonial power. Discover how childhood magic, ecological loss, and the death of the last unicorn shape her romantic approach to fashion as living storytelling in today's interview.
If you were to guess that the self-described “esoteric designer”, Stjorn Revali, behind the label Storrveldi, was profoundly influenced by Sergei Parajanov’s The Colour of Pomegranates, you would be right. Her garments are intricately made, sprinkled with iconographic imagery and symbolism, heavy cotton lace, and Eastern European nostalgia. With the designer, we talked about the right to demand authenticity, separating the want from the need, imbuing photoshoots with storytelling, and more.
“[My] pieces aren't about hiding the body; they’re about making the internal cosmic.” Fashion designer Layla Dian Jin’s generous, sometimes even sculptural silhouettes feature striking elements covered in gold foil against dark fabric, and browsing them feels like stumbling upon scattered golden nuggets in the dark sand of a cold stream. The designer sat down with us to talk perspective shifts, the silence of empty spaces, micro and macro scales, and more.
