Based in London, Ling Chen is an emerging voice in the future of conceptual adornment. Chen's debut collection, Rebellion Reimagined, transforms subcultural symbols, such as spikes, chains, slogans, and piercings into standout jewellery pieces.
Chen's designs explore the tensions between individuality and conformity through a bold deconstruction of punk aesthetics.
Each limited-edition bottle of Brockmans' flagship gin, Brockmans Intensely Smooth, will be adorned with Chen's provocative Punk Sym Rings, a bold, two-part statement piece from her debut collection. The striking sculptural ring is detachable from the bottle, so it can be worn and shown off by the owner.
Chen's Punk Sym Rings have been designed for those who like to challenge convention, with the ring reimagining punk iconography through clever mirrored spiked geometry.
Fierce, rebellious and uncompromising, the limited-edition bottle fuses Brockmans' disruptive attitude with Chen's punk aesthetic. The limited-edition Brockmans Gin bottle will be unveiled for the first time at an exclusive launch at London's Creative Jewellery Hub, Forge, on Tuesday 8th July.
Tastemakers from the worlds of fashion, jewellery, culture, and drinks will be welcomed into a Brockmans Gin takeover where the bottles will be unveiled for the first time, while enjoying Brockmans' high-quality, unmistakably smooth, bold gin, which have earned the brand such a loyal following.
Ling Chen, Jewellery Artist, said: “I am beyond thrilled to be launching my collection at Forge in the centre of the Hatton Garden's Jewellery community with Brockmans Gin. The properly improper philosophy of Brockmans Gin suits my punk aesthetic and my sense of direction which I share with many of the On|Off designers.”
Jean-Dominique Andreu, Managing Director of Brockmans Gin, told That's Food and Drink: “Brockmans Gin and Ling Chen are provocateurs in both our respective worlds. We both challenge convention, celebrate creativity, and take pride in doing things differently.
"This collaboration was born out of a shared creative vision of bold design, disruptive spirit, and cultural expression. We're proud to be partnering with such a fearless designer and we are excited to unveil these ultra limited-edition bottles.”
This partnership sees the next chapter in Brockmans' visionary cultural partnership with On|Off, the pioneering platform championing innovation in British fashion. The partnership has so far seen the bold British brands collaborate on a series of standout cultural moments, including its London Fashion Week Opening Party at the W Hotel and The Disruptors exhibition at Fitzrovia Chapel.
Lee Lapthorne, the Director of On|Off, has the ability to spot future talent having supported many of our major creative talents at the start of their careers, including JW Anderson (Dior), Gareth Pugh, Christopher Raeburn and Roksanda.
Lee Lapthorne Director of On|Off commented: “As soon as I saw Ling Chen's work, I knew it was something special, outstanding and visually arresting. Her punk-esque attitude aligns perfectly with the ethos and spirit of Brockmans Gin. The sculptural pieces she's created are not only striking additions to the Brockmans bottle but are also wearable — bold, statement accessories that bring attitude and artistry to any personality.”
