Custom designed jewelry/collaboration project
Last month we embarked on an exciting new campaign project with the Vizeau underwear label. We are proud to preview some of the photos from the campaign shoot for the first time. The challenge of esculpta in this project was to create some unique pieces of body jewelry for the photoshoot and campaign.
As the pieces were not made with the intention of sale, but specially custom made for the particular occasion, it offered us the unique challenge to treat the designs purely as fashion and to put forward an extremely playful approach.
The entire shoot of Vizeau, along with the section of custom-made body jewels by esculpta will be shortly released as a limited edition photobook named the 'book of Sam'.

The 'interview of a mermale' pretty much sums what Nikias has to say about his sculpture, the challenges of Jewelry design and.. Madonna. Read more at the Ministry of Pleasure.. and enter only if you're over 18.
What's hasn't already happened is cooking. We're motivated by fresh ideas that haven't been done and by new approaches that bring out the sunshine and love in things we wear. ESCULPTA has a few new ideas coming up that might just find their way to completion. Feel free to give a thumbs up (or down) on particular designs of interest in our guest book area.
Below are just some images and information on new designs pending completion. Click on images for details

"If you think that wearing boxers alone is not enough to 'wow' your valentine, why not decorate your (or his) throbbing member with a touch of bling? Well, look no further than Studio Nikias' Le Cockring, the ultimate sterling silver hand-crafted 'Toy of Luxury'!
Seriously, little needs to be said about this ring!....This is one gift that will be appreciated. Probably will make the hottest item in your (or his) privates drawer or on your (or his) coffee table!"
The Mermale is a nude muscle hunk born on the shores of Mermalia. Unlike his kind, the Mermale is no ordinary merman. He's gay, he's out and he encapsulates the realm of gay art, gay sculpture, fashion and a lifestyle of hot leather! This is the figure of nude man whose confidence and pride shines poetically to romantic gay males.
