ON SEEKING CONTRADICTIONS
Over the years, Biko has become about
a contrast of shape, texture, line and
pattern. I love mixing the sleek, reflective
nature of luxe metals with a hammered
texture, or making pieces that are wavy.
I love playing with materials that
are fluid against something a little more
sharp and jagged.
THINKING OUTSIDE THE SEASON
Jewellery is a timeless thing. Trends
come and go, but jewellery is without
season. I make pieces that feel
contemporary, but also like little
heirlooms—things that you’ll want to
hang on to over the years.
HOW I BUILD ON THE PAST
I’ll use an element from a previous
collection in a newer piece of jewellery—
like building off a hammered metal
component I last season to make
something that looks and feels completely
different. I built the business aound
the idea of found objects with stories to
share, and I love seeing these stories
evolve and shift over time.
WHY I LOVE CANADIAN DESIGN
Being a Canadian designer is wonderful.
Canada is diversity—almost everyone
here comes from somewhere else. I was
born in Canada but I’m also Greek and
Polish. To me, Canada is about the
influences of many distinct cultures
being brought together to feel like home.
THE NORDSTROM ADVANTAGE
When Nordstrom opened here, they
jumped on board with Canadian designers.
Working with Nordstrom has definitely
opened up a lot of doors for Biko.
