Immortal Style Campaign: Wendy Brandes Jewelry x Style Crone
The 2019 "Immortal Style" campaign for Wendy Brandes Jewelry features 76-year-old model and influencer Judith Boyd, the Style Crone.
Watch the video to experience the timeless nature of some of our favorite jewelry motifs, like snakes and skulls.
“I’ve known Judith through her blog Style Crone for nearly 10 years, and I’ve watched her look evolve from chic to absolutely regal,” Brandes said. “Certain jewelry themes I work with -- like skulls and snakes -- are too often dismissed as ‘punk’ when they’ve actually been a basis for high jewelry art for centuries or even millennia. To personify the history and majesty that fuels my work, I knew I had to work with Judith.”
“One of the joys of fine jewelry is that there’s something for everyone, regardless of age, size, or any other characteristic you can think of -- and if a customer’s dream piece doesn’t already exist, I can turn that vision into reality,” Brandes said. “I want to make it clear that jewelry is for everyone.”
This is the third image campaign for which Brandes has chosen a model representative of demographics that are often ignored by the jewelry and fashion industries. She previously worked with models Tina J and Tricia Akello, born in Sudan and Uganda, respectively; as well as model Grace Ming.
