SWATCH RELEASES ‘MELUSINE’ WITH BRIANDA FITZ JAMES STUART

-

Some legends are made...and some are born. For fashion designer, illustrato­r and DJ Brianda Fitz James Stuart, a noble birth was just the first of many steps along her journey to indie design queen. Now, Brianda has put her Midas touch on Melusine, a special collaborat­ion with Swatch that invokes a strong feminine edge.

From sketching cheerful, hand-drawn prints to mixing the best of boho beats, the artistic Madrileña is a woman of many talents. After graduating from the European Institute of Design, Brianda moved to New York, where she worked with top artists and internatio­nal fashion houses. But Spain’s siren song lured her home.

As a young girl, Brianda says her first colorful Swatch made her feel “special.” Today, she has recreated this extraordin­ary ethereal experience in Melusine. The legendary daughter of Elynas, King of Scotland, and the fairy Pressine, Melusine’s intriguing beauty hid a dark secret. Part woman, part serpent, her angelic face lured suitors in, while her scaly lower half was an otherworld­ly surprise. This Swatch collaborat­ion blends whimsy and elegance, vision and mystery, bringing the complexiti­es of both Melusine and Brianda’s dual nature to life.

Swatch is available at Swatch Shops in SM Megamall, Glorietta 1, Greenbelt 5, TriNoma, U.P. Town Center, Alabang Town Center, SM Mall of Asia, SM City North EDSA, SM Southmall, Greenhills V-Mall, Shangri-La Plaza, Robinsons Place Ermita, Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall, Ayala Center Cebu, SM City Cebu, and SM City Bacolod.
