Fred: A Modern Twist on Cuffs

Reviving the Noblesse of Old Times

There are many different kinds of bracelets and bangles in the market, but Fred stands out from the crowd. Inspired by the elegance of Fred Astaire's sleek suit and cuffs, Diana Sokolic decided to revive the concept of cuffs and plastrons worn by men in the last century, but this time as a part of a woman's garment. The result is a modern twist on a classic accessory.

What sets Fred apart is its uniqueness. Unlike traditional bracelets, Fred comes as a pair, making it a statement piece that is sure to be noticed. The cuffs are designed to be lightweight, ensuring maximum comfort for the wearer.

The design process for Fred involved extensive research and experimentation. Diana Sokolic focused on finding the right dimensions for the cuffs, ensuring they were comfortable to wear. Additionally, she had to find a way to bend the plastic at home without professional machines, resulting in a work filled with gleeful errors and creative solutions.

With dimensions of 13 cm long, 12 cm high, and 6 cm wide, Fred cuffs are packaged in an orange-pink protective pouch tied with an orange bow, adding a touch of elegance to the overall presentation.

Fred has received recognition for its outstanding design. In 2013, it was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Fashion, Apparel, and Garment Design category. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate exceptional expertise, innovation, and artistic skill. Fred's strong technical characteristics and remarkable level of excellence have made it a standout in the fashion industry.

Whether worn on bare hands or paired with a silk blouse or black sweater, Fred cuffs are sure to elevate any outfit. With their nod to the noblesse of old times and modern twist, these cuffs are a must-have accessory for those who appreciate timeless elegance and unique design.
