Antique-Style Jewelry to Elevate Your Winter Wardrobe



LULU FROST


Among the many women's jewelry brands, LULU FROST is gaining significant attention.

The brand is characterized by its unique design sensibility, such as repurposing number and letter parts from the legendary New York hotel, The Plaza Hotel, into jewelry. The use of richly textured beads and brass, along with vintage-inspired components, creates a sophisticated ambiance amidst the sparkle.

Motifs range from feathers to flowers, and the ability to combine these elements is another key appeal.

This winter, JOURNAL STANDARD Omotesando highlights a series featuring layered star motifs that add a touch of glamour. These pieces can be enjoyed in various ways: as decorative ornaments with traditional outfits, or as accents for casual ensembles. With bright tones that evoke Christmas and snowy days, this jewelry perfectly captures the essence of the season.

A British Heritage Brand Revived with Uncompromised Quality



INVERTERE

In the 1900s, INVERTERE gained popularity among the affluent for its innovative reversible coats. Although the brand later ceased to exist, its spirit has been revived by the "I MEX" company, which inherited its legacy.

Today, the brand is synonymous with its herringbone duffle coat. Crafted from the finest wool fabric, it is both soft and highly insulating. The meticulous attention to traditional techniques, such as using horn toggles and leather loops, imbues every detail with British authenticity. Despite a period of dormancy, the brand's reputation as a premier manufacturer, having produced OEM for renowned fashion houses, ensures its quality is guaranteed.

For this collaboration, JOURNAL STANDARD has created a special order version of the classic "BIRMINGHAM" model, featuring a detachable hood. This design pays homage to the brand's name, which means "to turn around completely" in Latin, and its history of creating revolutionary reversible items, offering greater styling versatility.




This bespoke piece aligns perfectly with JOURNAL STANDARD's seasonal theme, "OVER COAT STYLE," making it an essential addition to any winter wardrobe. This duffle coat, born from traditional British craftsmanship, is sure to become a staple in your closet.
