When inspiration comes from gelato and desserts…
Sparkling and glamourous jewels just like Swarovski, and colourful and fun accessories like those of Rommy de Bommy have been created.

The dessert world and the fashion world: the exchange of influences is constant, lively, surprising and sometimes ironic… from the shop windows to collections of accessories, the exchange of shapes and colours never stops amazing us.
And we replicate this in our magazines.
The trendiest of them all, Sweet Mood, for example, was chosen as a decorative element of a historic Roman jeweler’s shop window, just a few steps from the famous Via Veneto street.
It was also chosen to be placed in a window of a men’s clothing boutique in Varazze (Savona, Italy).

A new game for this fun and passionate “sport” has matched up two entities that are very different from each other, both for their story and for their product, but they are also equally attractive for the potential glamour of gelato and cakes.
On one side of this game, there is Swarovski, an Austrian company that creates jewels and accessories with natural and synthetic crystals and gems.
On the other side, there is Rommy Kuperus, known as Rommy de Bommy, a Dutch designer who creates women’s bags and men’s bow ties using clay foam.

A SUMMER WITH OOMPH

For this summer, Swarovski invited women to express themselves and to seek out moments to escape the usual routine. And what is a better time than the summer to visit Portofino, Capri, Mykonos and Naxos?
These are the famous locations that have inspired the publicity campaign and the style of the collection. A sweet, irresistible sense of fun and rebellion permeates the campaign, created by a group of young women searching for a more colourful and exciting lifestyle.
By wearing the fun and extremely sparkly accessories of this collection, women follow their own desires and run after a gelato truck, ready to start a new adventure

Jewellery and accessories from the No Regrets, Ocean, Oz and Only lines are easy to wear and surprisingly versatile.
They are paved with crystals thanks to the Pointiage® technique by Swarovski.
In particular, the No Regrets line offers a fresh and spunky interpretation of summer delicacies that can sweeten any look.
Designs that depict gelato, sorbet, bananas and cocktails obtain a luxurious vibe that is timelessly refined and glamourous, thanks to the sophisticated lines and the colourful Swarovski crystals.
A tempting cone with strawberry-red and candy-pink gelato assume the form of brooches and charm bags, and they decorate phone covers. A refreshing popsicle reflect hints of light from a bracelet.

PASSION FOR FOOD

Rommy de Bommy does not follow the traditional seasonal calendar of fashion. She is rather inspired by an intense passion for food in all of its colours, forms and consistencies. Her creations are full of energy, or as she defines it: “a complete explosion with a sense of humour.” Her collection includes shoulder bags shaped like a gelato cone, a macaron, a donut or a multi-layer cake, or brooches shaped like pudding or bow ties made with cookies. They are colourful and witty accessories that are fun to wear.
They are especially perfect for young people that like to dare to go against the current.
Which is exactly like their designer, Rommy Kuperus, a 27-year-old, who, after studying Product Design, didn’t feel at ease in the fashion system, so she created her own brand. Since food has always been one of her biggest interests, she made it object of her designs.
She personally makes by hand all of her products and she sells them online at rommydebommy.com.
Her different perspective on products, going against the rules to create something unique is her way of doing things. By observing the display windows of pastry shops and by searching online through Instagram and Pinterest, she gathers inspiration which she then transforms into purses, that are not only sweet but also savoury like spaghetti, French fries and hamburgers.
