Plastique is a line of collars created by the Italian designer Raoul Gilioli. These plastic jewels look like a fluid line drawn directly onto the body, and were inspired by snakes, scarves and boomerangs. The most appreciated thing about these necklaces when worn, apart from their look, is how they feel around your neck. Plastique can convey the sensation of a lover’s hands gently holding your neck.
Plastique is not only a collar; it also comes in bracelet version. Both designs have become very popular in Italy within the last few months.
