Molecular Addictions // The Final Collection

I’m so proud to finally be able to introduce you to the complete Molecular Addictions Collection! Caffeine, THC, nicotine, MDMA, chocolate and DMT. Six photoshoots, six product launches and six stunning silhouette necklaces all coming together over the last six months of 2011.

Everyone has his or her own secret indulgence. Molecular Addictions is a jewellery collection and a concept series where molecules are depicted in a way that shows the dark and lonely addictions we can have to addictive substances. Some of the molecules in the collection are easily accessible and consumed on a daily basis whereas others are illicit and taboo, consumed in secret or with close friends.

A piece from the Molecular Addictions Collection is a unique way to show the world what you’re truly craving as you go about your day. Kind of like a little wearable bat signal to other users who are on the same wavelength that you are.


Molecular Addictions was released in a totally new way – one piece launched each month for six months. Instead of just doing the standard one model wearing six different necklaces, Kelly and I went for six models wearing six necklaces, each in different settings to match the molecule being photographed.

A huge part of the project and what has truly brought it to life is the collaboration with photographer Kelly Jill. She has brought an entirely new dimension to the project and transformed the collection into a story. It doesn’t even seem that long ago that I was nervously emailing her to introduce the concept!

I’m also so stoked that Molecular Addictions gave me the opportunity to work with some of Vancouver’s most talented and inspiring hair and makeup artists, stylists and beautiful models who are open minded and interested in doing something a little more on the risky side and outside the box.


A special thank you to everyone who made the Molecular Addictions what it is – Kelly Jill, Emma Garland, Talysia Ayala, Vincent Lee, Siri Williams, Kelsey Harker, Melissa Hamar, Stephanie Poato, Kimberly Rae, Anca Oala and of course Mark for turning all my crappy footage into something actually worth watching. Without the help of all these awesome people Molecular Addictions would be a big blob of nothing!

I hope you enjoy this final video of all the Molecular Addictions photoshoots put together ...
