Jordan Askill Creates a Fiercely Feminine Capsule Collection for Topshop

The collection was inspired by a trip he took to Egypt three years ago, playing up the designer’s attraction to sculptural pieces and fantastical creatures. This time it’s a majestic panther carefully scaled down to form the centerpiece of the collection, its raw chiseled head protruding from the gold and silver-plated brass. In an interview with Topshop, Askill says the team was supportive of his ideas and his style of craft, “particularly when it came to attention to detail and quality.”

That attention to detail is further evident in the kitschy-cute charms dangling from cuffs, charm bracelets, and three-dimensional pendant necklaces. Askill wanted to make the capsule not only classic but personal: “Each piece is precious like a locket with detachable pendants that you can keep with you or pass on to your friends.” 

The collaboration puts Askill among the ranks of Mary Katrantzou, Christopher Kane, and J.W. Anderson, who have all had their artistry confirmed in recent years through being plucked by the discerning hand of Topshop.
