I met the talented designer Molly Abrahamsen outside her studio here in SoFo.

 

What do you get inspired by when you make your jewellery?

A lot off African patterns, and i also like to make things with diamonds and patterns in cheap materials over sized, to show the irony in the “bling-bling” side off hip hop. I also think colors are important, specially in Sweden, where the ideal is stripped down.

Which other jewellery designers do you get inspired by?

Melody Ehsani http://melodyehsani.com/

What kind off other things do you make?

I also illustrate paintings and i have sold one to Sophia Somajo and i make costumes for a hip hop band right now. I have also made masks that the hip hop band used during their performance.

Where do you like to shop?

I like to shop second hand, in museum shops and i also like to swap clothes with my friends.
