For years Ranjana Khan has applied her vast knowledge of embroideries to create instantly iconic pieces of jewelry and accessories. She has become one of the world's greatest authorities on embellishments, sharing her unique insight and experience with renowned couturiers like Jean-Paul Gaultier, Alber Elbaz, and Alexander McQueen. Now, with the launch of her own collection, she speaks to an audience entirely her own.
Born and raised in India, Ranjana brings Bombay to New York via Paris, the disparate influences of her life forming an aesthetic that combines hard and soft, dark and light, masculine and feminine, leather and tulle. In September 2008—the month of the financial crash—Ranjana launched her eponymous collection of jewelry and accessories. The great recession, however, has proven extremely kind to her singular vision, which continues to be a source of excitement for women wanting to update their looks in an instant. With its inventive shapes and surprising details, Ranjana’s jewelry brings any outfit into the now. It is testament to the transformative power of fashion.
