If seasons were people, one might imagine them to have different style personalities. Winter, as one might expect, is resplendent with the coziest fashions, in earthy tones and whites. Spring is soft and feminine, in airy and ethereal fabrics. Summer, bright and warm. And autumn calls for edgy pieces: the leather, the lace, the accessories with punk-inspired flair.
That’s where the latest releases from Rainbow K come in. Perfect for the fall season, the jewels are inspired, the brand tells JCK, by the punk fashions parading down recent fashion runways—Givenchy, Burberry, Paco Rabanne, Marine Serre.
Pieces with names like Cyborg and Nano Punk bring to mind postapocalyptic, steampunk imagery that’s continued to be relevant as massively popular sci-fi films like Star Wars, Mad Max, and Dune gain new generations of fans. Translated to real life, the fashions feel a bit more like quiet luxury with statement accessories, said accessories giving off rebel vibes without being overly on-the-nose—razor-sharp angles, bullet-shape accents, machine-like details. Rainbow K carefully cultivates a nonconformist tone while maintaining the upscale design the Parisian brand works so well.
“The new collection is influenced by fashion and our infusion of vintage designs inherited from our grandparents,” say the brand’s founders, Kelia Toledano and Kelly Souied. “We mix old styles with new on-trend designs—structural forms, texture, mixed metals with fluid lines—inspired by Parisian architecture, art, objects, and designs from the current times. We design to the whims of the trend cycle to become a worthy investment piece that can be worn every day for any occasion. The collection exudes a sense of rebellious attitude with glam.”
