Bridgerton costume designer Ellen Mirojnick dreams up a Regencycore jewellery line
After reimagining Regency-era clothing for Netflix’s Bridgerton, Emmy Award-winning costume designer Ellen Mirojnick set the tone for what we’d all be wearing in the 2020s — we’re talking corsets, ruffles, baby doll dresses. Now, she’s designed a Bridgerton-themed jewellery collection in collaboration with designer Monica Rich Kosann, whose fine jewellery brand holds B Corp certification. The partnership comes from a new initiative called Seat at the Table, dreamed up by Shonda Rhimes’s production company Shondaland. The program aims to give talented craftspeople working behind the camera the chance to extend their creativity on a consumer level. In this case, Kosann’s affinity for dainty lockets is blended with Mirojnick’s expertise in 19th century romantic drama. It’s a match made in vintage heaven.

Vivek Shraya and Mic. Carter dream up a sartorial disco ball
