We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Dot 3 about their original and creative Multiple Piercing Earrings design work. Dot 3 is an award-winning fashion designer, that makes our world a better place with their original multiple piercing earrings works.
Dot 3 ("D3") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Mr Hip Stylist Multiple Piercing Earrings. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
D3 : I have multiple piercings and I've been wearing simple studs for years. There's nothing wrong with it but I think there's an opportunity to explore the design of multiple piercing earrings beyond that.
D3 : I tried to find the balance between the aesthetic and practically, something that to me is aesthetically pleasing and at the same time is flexible enough to accommodate various ear sizes and distances between the ear holes. I wanted a solution that doesn't involve customizing for every ear as that'd be easier to achieve whatever aesthetic you want but that's art and not design I think.
D3 : to sell them.
D3 : The concept, one night. The whole refining process back and forth, two months.
D3 : I'd love to sound a bit more noble but really this one was the first of the multiple earrings and I designed it for myself.
D3 : I started a company to produce earrings now.
D3 : Actually I've always been interested in Jewelry design for years. I enjoyed making my own jewelry, tried to experiment with dangle necklaces also with some interior samples because I worked in mostly Interior Design studios. But I realized there are enough beautifully designed necklaces out there just as I think there's enough chairs designed in this world. No need for my contribution there. Earrings especially made for multiple piercings, I'm not sure as many people cared about it but I guess I do.
D3 : Women with Multiple Piercings
D3 : Mr Hip Stylist. In all honesty, I probably should have taken the Hip out. Most people I think don't have a personal stylist unless you are in that other world. I just like to give my earrings names. For fun.
D3 : Creating aesthetically pleasing forms I think are easy, you can take a walk and turn whatever you see, water, clouds, to a piece of grass and turn it into something beautiful but I think the challenge is to achieve that and have it works with the shape of the ear, then the flexibility for different ear sizes, the different distances of ear holes. I wanted to solve the practically of it and maintain the concept and aesthetic I want at the same time.
