Special collaboration with Swarovski
So Catchy!: Adi, we really like your collection ‘THE SHAPE OF INK, could you tell us more about how you came up with the concept behind the pieces.

Adi Lev: Thank you so much!

This collection draws inspiration from the world of Body Modifications. I wanted to make pieces that can change the face or the body with no Constant change (like piercing). I have dreamed about pieces that can change you when you wear it, but when you take it of, you go back to be normal.

SC!: What’s your creative process like?

AL: My creative process starts with an idea, then I’m process it in my head until I feel it solve to be made, then I start making it with materials and metal. Sometimes I start with paper- I love working with papers!

Sometimes I just wake up in the morning with an idea that I have dreamed of with a strong urge to make!

Usually, when I came to metal, the idea gets so many turns and opportunities that it’s difficult to choose… I’m trying my best to choose the more distinctive and different ones.
