For FW26_27, Katerina Vassou draws inspiration from distinctive women’s names from around the world, inviting us on a journey to where light and shadow meet.
A place where contrasts exist in harmony and beauty reveals itself in the most unexpected details.
For winter is not simply a season of darkness. It is a time when even the faintest glimmer takes on a meaning of its own.
It is the season of Lumina.
THE MEANING BEHIND LUMINA
Rooted in the Latin word lumen, meaning “light”, lumina is its plural form, evoking countless points of light, each with its own glow, coming together to create something greater.
In ancient Rome, the word was associated with light, lamps and even the eyes. In poetry, it could evoke the light of day or describe someone whose presence shone like a star.
A single word that captures the essence of the collection: light does not exist in just one form. Neither does feminine beauty.
THE COLLECTION
Since her very first collection, Katerina Vassou has been creating handcrafted jewellery adorned with semi-precious stones and crystals. Each piece is shaped by her own hands, carrying something of its creator within it: her sensitivity, imagination and distinctive artistic vision.
Today, her creations have found their way to more than 30 countries, while remaining true to the unique character that defines them.
With Lumina FW26_27, this creative journey continues, exploring the timeless dialogue between light and shadow.
Polished metal catches the light like the flicker of a candle in the stillness of the night. Crystals scatter it into a constellation of delicate sparks, while semi-precious stones reveal the mystery and depth of a winter sky.
Sculptural forms, unexpected textures and clean lines come together in a collection where strength meets sensitivity, and boldness finds its balance in effortless elegance.
Inspired by women’s names and personalities from across the globe, each piece tells a story of its own. A story as individual as the woman who chooses to wear it.
Designed to catch the eye yet become an effortless part of everyday life, these pieces are more than adornments. They are intimate expressions of identity, created not to transform the woman who wears them, but to celebrate everything that makes her unique.
Because true radiance is not something we acquire. It is something we have always carried within us.
Lumina. The light of your own story.
