There’s panic ensuing. A certain mania has gripped the people. It’s a bursting desire, a lascivious need to embrace, to hold, to own a piece of jewellery by this new Sydney label. Aptly named Maniamania, the fledgling label has cast a spell upon the citizens of fashion towns across the globe; a fever that seems unlikely to lift. Not that anyone would want it to.
In only its second season, Maniamania presents Dust, a collection that is transcendent of time, space and that niggling destroyer of style- the trend. Modelled by new kid on the block and damn-fine-hottie, Bambi, Dust is a collection suitable for a folk princess, a spaceman or an Egyptian queen. Eluding genre and exuding a mystic cool that applies equally to the eras we read about in history and the ones we dream up for the future, Maniamania combines the sheer style of the unique with timelessness.
Inspired by Egyptian finery, the freedom and experimentation of the 60s and 70s and everyone’s favorite goblin king, David Bowie, Maniamania subverts the mainstream and brings a new level of intensity to Australian fashion. With talismanic crystals set in twisted metals, epic proportions and eye-popping colours, Maniamania is the only accessory you need to bring your wardrobe to life.
