Collection: SS23: TOPOGRAPHY

 In Degrade's Spring/Summer 2023 line, the designer focuses on topographic maps, specifically contour-line maps or isopleth maps.   Using pigmented biomaterials, with infused hues drawn from foods and plant life, Degrade's multilayered contour-lined jewelry are inspired by climate & weather related maps, diagrams, and patterns of land loss, temperature changes and sea level rising. 

Natural and climate-change disasters that are beginning to reach unprecedented levels of damage are all a part of the cycles of Mother Nature reminding us that these striking events commanded by the Mother and the loss of terrain we see, is the beginning of a new cycle, we witness a larger form of degradation that in turn brings in new life.
