Ian Batten is one of the most unique fashion creators in London. Rie and Ian have been collaborating on many projects. Such as 'Bear Garden' in 2004 and 'Society Animal' in 2010.
Ian has moved to Livingstone Studio in Hampstead where he had been selling his womenswear. He continue to sell his womenswear there and his menswear is available at 'Yau', opened in March 2017. Address is B1F, 1F Said Bldg, 1-16-1 Nishiazabu Minato-ku Tokyo Japan.
Over 20 respected contemporary jewellers have been invited to offer work using the botanical as a starting point for the creation of jewellery. the makers have employed varied materials and methods and, as a result, none of the works on show are ‘traditional’ in the usual sense. As guest curator Corinne Julius notes “They are unexpected and in some cases quite challenging, but then contemporary jewellery is wearable art. As far as we are aware, there has not been an exhibition on botanical motifs in contemporary jewellery in the UK.”
