THE STORY

Up Close is a study of form under magnification. Inspired by the way Georgia O’Keeffe enlarged flowers until they became abstract, sculptural, and unmistakably sensual, the collection invites you to look closer than before, see beyond the surface.

Rather than treating florals as decoration, Up Close isolates and exaggerates their essence: the sweep of a petal, the tension of a curve, the moment a bud begins to open.

Calla lily–inspired temple tips, draped metalwork along the arms, an overlapping petal forms on the front frame transform organic shapes into precise, modern structures. This collection invites the wearer to discover beauty in detail.

When details are pulled into focus, softness becomes strength and subtlety becomes statement. Each frame reveals itself slowly — rewarding attention and curiosity.

“Designed to be admired up close”

– Xiwen Zhang-Makridis, Creative Director
