JEAN FRANCOIS MIMILLA
Self taught, Jean Francois began to make experimental jewelry
under the name "Jean Francois Mimilla for Marc Le Bhian". He
joined the company of Marc Le Bihan, Lange et Linceul since its
creation in 1991.
He discovered the resin and solidifies in this living material some
old beads, ancestral fabrics and lace vintage. In 1996, he
decided to continue under his own name. Fascinated by old
materials, he surveys the "puces de Saint-Ouen" looking for old
weathered fabrics, ancient lace, bead glass craft or dusty
photographs.
All this treasures were then worked in his
studio, handled, processed, washed, & oxidized... Beads sewn on
leather born bracelets, rhinestones cast in resin and assembled
by small rings in necklaces, relive old portraits on metal rings and
multitudes of chains combine to create necklaces with refined
manners.
The work of Jean Francois Mimilla is entirely handmade.
We are so thrilled to welcome this collection to our store.
