[Submission] Chainmail Hennin
Armour fit for a princess
PIECE CONTEXT: This piece (aluminium, silver-plated copper chain, copper) is part of a wider collection, ‘Ode to Girlhood’ that discusses the necessity of protecting your inner child and looks at immortalising these memories in metal. The hennin is intended to be representative of playing dress-up, with the chainmail a symbol of protection. The unforgiving metal and chain versus the delicate memorable silhouette demonstrates what could be interpreted as the lovechild of the princess and the knight.
