Precious strength: Cut stones make a gem of a look

Tokyo – Japanese fashion brand Toga has launched its spring/summer 2014 collection featuring precious gems and marble embellishments

The collection, Line, Block, Tribal, mixes clean lines and boxy silhouettes with baguette-cut stones that emulate geological cross-sections in a kitsch marbled colour palette. Each look features large, flat stones in a geometric pattern with contrasting statement accessories, creating a unique sexiness and conveying toughness and strength.

Designers are increasingly looking at multi-faceted slices of organic materials with man-made finishes to decorate interior spaces and products. For more, read our Precious Precision design direction.
