Kieselstein-Cord
Barry Kieselstein-Cord is one of America’s most celebrated luxury designer-artists, a CFDA Award and Coty American Fashion Critics’ Award winner whose work spans fine jewelry, signature belt buckles, exotic leather handbags, figurative bronzes, and fine art photography. For more than fifty years, his firm has remained a critically acclaimed international luxury brand, with work held in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Louvre in Paris, worn by the famous and infamous, most recently including NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has worn Kieselstein-Cord buckles to the NBA All-Star Game and on his tunnel walk appearances.
de.MO has worked with Kieselstein-Cord across branding, web design, and PR, a collaboration that spans the creation of a new custom logotype, a website, and an active role in Frankenstein-Cord, the brand’s collaboration with Homer, the luxury jewelry house founded by Frank Ocean. The logotype, rooted in linear design principles, is clean, modern, and built to complement the fluidity and expressive character of his work. The PR initiative returned the brand to its rightful place in the cultural conversation, with placements on the covers of Vogue Paris, V Magazine, and VMan, and recent features in GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, and Interview Magazine.
