Abloh's Fall 2017 collection themed of global warming will have Jennifer Fisher's touch to it with earring designs.
Environmental harm is the inspiration behind the design. Fisher chose wire for the hoop earrings. Priced at $275 for a single earring and $535 for a pair, 14k gold with yellow-gold-plated brass or silver-plated brass with a rhodium finish.
“I wanted to express something wasteful, like the radiant heat electrical stove,” said Fisher.
