The color palette contains a warm gold, in combination with black and fading into clear and soft grey black diamond tones. The colors are translated through countless hand-set crystals. For this collection, Bjorn was inspired by beautiful detailed jewelry from the past. Bjorn: “We all know the beautiful sceneries, actresses and femme fatales of the old Hollywood on our own way. It is your own interpretation that brings the collection to life.”

The collection exists of eighteen pieces in total, including a signature corset, headpiece and a waistbelt made of velvet and cocoprint leather, covered with a 24k gold plated set with an infinite number of crystals.
