This November, Lost Poem had the privilege of being interviewed by LUMERAMAG during the prestigious Slow Fashion Gala 2024 in Stockholm. We are thrilled to announce that Lost Poem was recognized as one of the three Outstanding Brands at this celebrated event, a testament to our dedication to sustainable craftsmanship and timeless design.
The Slow Fashion Gala offered an incredible platform for connecting with fellow designers and sharing insights into our vision for integrating slow fashion principles into the jewelry industry. Through our creations, Lost Poem seeks to inspire thoughtful consumption and celebrate the enduring beauty of handcrafted jewelry.
A CONVERSATION WITH THE FOUNDER
Can you tell us about the design you showcased here today and how it reflects your values around slow fashion?
Yang: The design showcased here includes a pearl necklace worn by a woman paired with a second-hand dress we found in Oslo. The dress beautifully highlights the jewelry. We focus on very small-scale production, selling items first and allowing them to sell out before producing more, to avoid overproduction. Additionally, some of our pearls are recycled.
How do you ensure that both aesthetics and sustainability are given importance in your collection?
High-quality pearls can only be produced in clean water, making the preservation of our oceans a core value for us. Protecting the environment is essential to continue enjoying the exquisite gifts that nature provides, such as pearls.
What inspired you to work with slow jewelry?
I used to work for a fast fashion brand, but I have always loved vintage and been inspired by vintage styles, especially from the 1920s, which is evident in some of our jewelry pieces. So the simple answer is that it came naturally to me. Today we want to encourage customers to cherish and wear our jewelry for life. True timelessness for us means the pieces go with everything and can be effortlessly combined over time.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to LUMERAMAG and the Slow Fashion Gala for this wonderful opportunity to amplify our voice in the slow fashion movement. Join us on this journey as we continue to craft jewelry that embodies elegance, sustainability, and meaning.
