The MAN Jewelry SS13/14 collection might be inspired by the ancient and aristocratic game of Polo, but the lookbook takes a rawer approach when it comes to showcasing the stunning pieces. Pairing Priscillas model Dillon with the beast of the sport, she looks more like a seductive sorceress than an athlete. It doesn't help that she is clad in revealing lingerie-like outfits.
Shot by photographer Andrew Fearman, the MAN Jewelry SS13/14 lookbook is captured in studio against a black backdrop. Titled Equinox, the equestrian-themed accessory line is comprised of rings, necklaces and bracelets. At once elegant and edgy, the label's signature geometric shapes are cast in gold plating. Leather, metal and buffalo stone also make appearances.
