With the combination of his wonderful inspirations, Kojima revolutionized the field of jewelry under the manifestation of jewelry expressionism. Right now he is concerned because of his jewelry designed with character of strangeness and Fetishes. Let’s appreciate these alternative jewelries below!JojiKojima revealed his talent when he was accepting formal design training in Tokyo Tama Academy of Fine Arts. He said that he liked to draw illustrations and animations since he was a child, and he liked making crafts with leather, crafts that attracted he firstly was precisely jewelry. With passion for jewelry, JojiKojima learned graphic design in his college year, which made up for his lack of designing progress. He believed that he can learn the most diverse design method in this field later he studied advertising design, photography, typography and imaging. It was these study process that add special elements for jewelry he designed, which was those who limited themselves in the fields of metal crafts and fashion cannot accomplish.It can be found that the style and structure designed by JojiKojima would not have the looks of jewelry; they tend to be easier to let us think about sculpture and ornament. You would understand why the above is mentioned once you saw the skull mask with active hinged jaw or the finger claps inlaid with diamonds. The designer was eager to show us the nature of his work: because all his motivation of creation is for decoration. JojiKojima said that his work was absolutely jewelry rather than works of arts, as soon as they were jewelry, they were a part of fashion, and something that can be worn, which was the most exciting part to which sculpture cannot give. Watching these intricate jewelries in a close distance, the passion of JojiKojima for jewelry and using all kinds of jewelry beads and jewelry tools can be obviously got. She said he was thinking about a question that why it was him not someone else that can and want to create things that have never been seen. That is because that used some informal materials such as metal, glass, bones and even leather in the process of creation, these works cost him a total of six months to complete. Every year JojiKojima would introduce two series, which means that he has a maximum of only three months to think about abstract topics and content of his works, and must improve the producing skills of his crafts in the following two months.The former topics of JojiKojima serious are “mellow”, “dance at night” and “banquet feast”. Though these jewelry earned him a relatively larger number of passionate fans, JojiKojima had to admit that the themes of these jewelry were not that positive, they can be regarded as darkness in some degree. It seems that it was no big deal when Ladygaga who was famous for strange and seductive fashion became a loyal fan of this promising designer. After wearing a black umbrella hat designed by JojiKojima in Yoshiko studio in Pairs, Ladygaga established a long-term cooperative relationship with him. Since then Ladygaga released her new album Super Monster with covers on which she worn the chain mail mask designed by JojiKojima, which also made a loud blast for his entering into the fashion industry. Most jewelry series designed by JojiKjima took advantage of dark themes, while the similar views on fashion between Ladygaga and him made people had to admit that Gaga was Muse for Kojima. However, Kojima delivered that his work was to manifest beauty he was pursuing, not for someone else exclusively.The last serious of Kojima “Utopia” are rings with animal shape made of crystal, gold, metal and feathers. These fantasized “Utopia” animal and their beauty were abstracted out of elephants, horses, lizards and flamingos, and these animals become the then fashion in this quarter. The details of the next series of jewelry remain secrets which would be revealed at the end of October. Kojima said that he believed that this series would be “extremely satisfying”.
