Never Never Land


    
         {Sinatra by Dannijo}
         When I first saw the Peter Pan collar I wasn't convinced that the style would stick and when I later saw Alexa Chung's collection for Madewell, I warmed up to its cutesy appeal. Recently, I stumbled upon the collar done up in an embellished metal-working style and my reservations disappeared. Dannijo designs transform the collar, usually seen on shirts or done in fabric, into something armor-like.  With the stacking of various shaped gems within the curvature of the design, it takes a few steps back from being overly feminine.
 I went back to work with some great inspiration and here are my results! Enjoy!
