ASLAN World known for bold and innovative metal wear and luxury accessories, announces the reveal of their limited installation at Dover Street Market Los Angeles. Expanding on a partnership with DSM and the core collection, Aslan World debuts ‘VERY HEAVY METAL…’ Capturing the unapologetic spirit of the Los Angeles grunge scene, the Core Collection is riddled with a brilliant dichotomy: dirty and polished, shiny and decaying, subtle and rigid, controlled and liberated.
In “Lust is A Dirty Porsche,” ASLAN introduces hand-selected stones to the already impressive metalwork, hand-crafted by CJ Aslan herself. These new facets add complexity to the design identity, making ASLAN a danger and glamour alike, and introducing a boundless perspective. The narrative style is something to fear, envy, and crave all at once. With this bold step into maximalism, the brand, already known for its chunky chainmail gloves and spiked shoes, trailblazes further into the world of multi-faceted jewelry with an avant-garde philosophy. ASLAN ingeniously makes playful jabs at the narrative of survival.
The Core Collection features ASLAN’s signature chainmail gloves, along with spiked sterling silver bow earrings and customizable pierced letters and numbers rings. Two other ring variants include the big ring, which comes in two colorways: MILF and NOCTURNAL, and the spiked big ring, which features multi-toned stones. Exclusive to DSMLA is the MILF ID Bracelet and the heavy metal wallet chain, which features multi-sized engraved dog tags, underscoring the animalistic nature of embellishment, and accentuating the theme of power play.
CJ Aslan declares proudly, she “wanted this to feel… very heavy … and very metal.” Her work assumes a dauntless outlook on sensuality, “breaking the fine line between having boundaries and what makes you feel hot.” This collection is artisanally untamed, a ballistic paradox realized tenderly through smooth silver and shiny spikes. It’s a Porsche, covered in the filth of the world, modeling boldly for the notion of decadence.
