[Un]Discovers: TRON: Legacy Pop Up Shop Featuring Rotenier

Are you excited for TRON: Legacy? Also, have you ever dreamt of owning some fashion pieces that are inspired by the TRON world? If so, you will want to read this!

In this special edition of [Un]Discovers, I am very honored to be able to feature one of the jewelry designers whom has participated in this special TRON: Legacy capsule collection. His name is Robin Rotenier and his brand is called Rotenier.

In this capsule collection, Robin has created accessories for both men and women. For the women collection, there are earrings, cuff bracelets and necklaces which are inspired by the icons in the movie. I am very attracted to the cuff bracelets because they look very classy and futuristic at the same time.

As for the men's line, there are 2 styles of cuff links. One has the TRON lightcycle with the icon TRON helmet as the closure, while the other is inspired by the computer symbols and graphics in the movie. The lightcycle one is definitely something I really want to own and it costs $345.

So how did Robin Rotenier come up with this concept? 
According to him, "these jewelry pieces are bolder and more futuristic than what (he) traditionally design(s). They have (his) touch, but (he has) never gone that far". I have to agree this collection is very Rotenier and the futuristic element is something I do not see in his other collections.

When asked why he wanted to create a collection for TRON: Legacy, this is what he said,
"I believe the new movie will reach a far wider audience than the original one in 1982, when computers where not in every homes, hands…no smart phones, no kids developing apps back then. I also think that technology has a significant social impact and it shows in fashion and design as well. What I like about my work for TRON most? It is inspired by the Icons in the games and is not literal it will transcend a trend, something one can wear and enjoy for years just like the rest of the work I create, that is what I take pride in; when it’s worn a lot!"

I am totally in love with this collection at the moment and the cuff links are definitely on my wish list. For those of you who live in Los Angeles, you will be able to find this Rotenier's special collection at Royal/T. Other brands that are involved in this project include Opening Ceremony, Rousseau, Hayden-Harnett and Tom Tom Jewelry. Here are a few photos from the opening night of the pop up shop:
