Contemplating the notion of interior and exterior spaces and what it means to be hidden and yet reveal played a large role in the making of this piece. Jaali is inspired by a Mughal Architectural element - a window frame surrounding women’s chambers -  that embodies the idea of seeing without being seen. The piece is a pattern generated through code, translated to physical space.Title: Jaali

Capsule Collection

With these collections Angel Chang aims at going ‘beyond the forced superficial fashion & tech marketing parings, and is based on a more organic creative process. The technology itself is oftentimes concealed in the design, so the clothes can maintain their design integrity.’ Through these collaborations Angel has opened doors to true invention and the merging of two separate industries.

‘Address’ is a handmade jewelry piece designed and created by Mouna Andraos and Sonali Sridhar. When you first acquire the pendant, you select a place that you consider to be your anchor – where you were born, your home, or perhaps the place you long to be. Once the jewelry is initialized, every time you wear the piece it displays your distance from the location using a GPS component built into the pendant. As you take ‘Address’ around the world with you, it serves as a personal connection to that special place, making the world a little smaller or maybe a little bigger.

When invited to participate in a holiday bazaar where designers and artists gather to sell their pieces, we were very excited to see how far we could take our electronic craft skills and make little objects and jewelry. Our collection ranged from electronic jewelry and candles to scarves printed with photochromic inks that changed color on stepping outdoors.

In 1998 I moved from Bangalore, India to Atlanta, Georgia to study Communication Design at the Atlanta College of Art. The downgrade from curry to BBQ was tough, but I quickly learned the value of adaptation. I immediately immersed myself in the study and development of brand identity and print design. With a BFA in hand, and up for an adventure, I drove across the country to San Francisco, where I designed collateral material and some brand identity. A few years later, I headed across the country once again, this time to pursue a master’s degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at Tisch School of the Arts, NYU. I am now working as an Interaction Designer in New York, using web, print and mobile electronics to explore the connectivity and psychology of design. In my free time, I work with wearable technology, designing objects that interact with daily life, form addictions and provide comfort.
