☞ INTRODUCING: 1974 by Albino Riganello

Another example of the art and design movement heading uptown is that of designer Albino Riganello who recently transplanted to Harlem and is now currently producing his own designer line of costume jewelry called 1974.   Mr. Riganello has previously designed for a few high profile companies such as  Dolce & Gabbana and one particularly notable muse (2nd photo down) that he posed with in a previous Elle magazine spread: LINK.  All the other images are examples of the jewelry line recently photographed for Italian Vogue Pelle in which the designer states that his inspiration nowadays comes from Harlem.  The 1974 collection is designed and all hand made out of Mr. Riganello's 149th Street apartment and interested parties can check out the full line here: www.1974jewelry.com
