Vests Made of Chains

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Powerhaus Jewelry

— August 26, 2008 — Fashion
Referring to their striking jewelry designs as "vests" is pretty much a stretch, but Powerhaus designers Lenny Pier Ramos and Melissa Matos have designed a delicate silver chain that works as an accessory to enhance the drama of the fashion forward.

By making the chain the bare essential, they are making the statement that vest jewelry should become a standard accessory in every fashionista's jewelry box.

Implications - In recent years there has been an increased emphasis placed on stylistic individuality. A company looking to appeal to originality obsessed consumers can do so by creating products that feature outlandish but easily recognizable designs. These products will attract interest from shoppers seeking novelty and those seeking a definitive way to express their fashion sense.
