Using their own history as inspiration, Mignon Faget’s new Summer Collection brings pearls, bronze, and colorful fun to summertime jewelry.
“Like a box of old photographs or a bag of shells taken from the beach years ago, we look back fondly on our memories as we move forward in creating new ones,” says Marketing Manager, Sophia Perlander. The new Summer Collection pays tribute to past Mignon Faget Collections with a modern gaze into their future ahead.
The design house of Mignon Faget has always taken inspiration from the world around us. Whether it be from the historical New Orleans architecture or from the jasmine vines that line the wrought iron fences. The 2022 Summer Collection looks back at both archived and recent designs to create familiar yet contemporary pieces. It also pays homage to Mignon herself from images taken from a 1980s commercial shot on the Barrier Islands, which have since lined the walls of their longtime production house on Magazine Street. The new campaign ties together the idea that the designs are timeless, just as Mignon has always intended them to be. Infusing the pieces with colors of turquoise, fuchsia, and bronze and pairing those with shaped pearls and stones, hoping to generate the feeling of renewal within the collection.
The vibrant colors are consistent throughout the strands, however, just like shells, each individual jewel is unique. Blending rare silhouettes of pearls like blister, baroque, biwa, potato and peanut with various gemstones and “rondelles” makes each necklace a one and only. These designs were created to be an addition to brighten up anyone’s light and airy attire for summer
Following suit from the Spring Collection, the Summer Collection continues to lead Mignon Faget into a newer and brighter light. The jewels, along with the brand, have become timeless stamps on their collector’s lives and proceed to evolve with life’s changes.
