Ondulée Collection 2020

The Ondulée collection consists of delicate necklaces, statement bracelets, elegant earrings and eye-catching rings, all with the signature Ondulée design.  This elegant yet structural design is unique and catches the light beautifully in every piece.  Each piece is handmade by Olivia herself, and therefore exclusive and special. 

In 2019, Olivia exhibited her debut collection at the Glasgow School of Art Degree Show.  This collection consisted of twelve brooches inspired by Japanese architecture.  The 2020 Ondulée Collection is a continuation of this, however these new pieces focus primarily on elegance and movement to make the wearer feel special (in addition to looking good in Zoom calls).

At the beginning of 2020, the whole world ground to a halt and the UK went into a lengthy lockdown.  Olivia was unable to access her studio, she had to alter the way she ran her business.  This resulted in the transformation of her garden shed from a tool store to a jewellery workshop.  It took a lot of hard work but she finally adapted to the new Olivia Taylor HQ and got to work on a new collection. 

Starting in April, Olivia set herself a ‘Design-a-Day’ challenge.  This meant she had to draw or design something every day for three months to keep her innovation flowing.  This new collection is a representation of those lockdown drawings.  Reflecting back on these sketches to premiering the collection in August, Olivia couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Lockdown also gave Olivia the opportunity to work on her branding and website.  She collaborated with graphic designers, photographers and art directors to create a brand that not only speaks for itself but represents Olivia, as both a person and a designer.
