French Metal

As I mentioned yesterday, of the two brands I’m currently obsessing over this is the second one.

Justine Clenquet first launched her eponymous brand in 2010 at just eighteen years old, and success rapidly followed. Prior to her solo venture, she learned alongside Baptiste Viry, Regina Dabdab, and Emmanuelle Khanh, before opening her first boutique in the North of France.

Taking cues from a variety of influences, ranging from 70’s glam rock to punk subcultures, Clenquet reinterprets and blends established aesthetics with an eccentric allure. Her signature touch of glamour elevates familiar styles, such as the nostalgic choker of the 90’s, to refined adornments—all handcrafted in France with luxury materials like 24k gold and palladium-dipped metals.
