"We wanted to create something that felt powerful, intentional, and rooted in a deeper story, so we reimagined [Egyptian queen] Nefertiti through a modern lens. It was important that Nefertiti wasn't seen as an artifact, but as authorship, and as something living. A lot of the inspiration came from exhibitions, like, Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876—Now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. ... It draws from contemporary artists who place ancient Egypt within Black identity as lineage. Nefertiti, to me, represents inheritance, power, and presence. This look is about continuing the story. Nefertiti, to me, represents inheritance, power, and presence, and that's exactly what I wanted to embody. ... Nefertiti had such strength, grace, and undeniable presence, and I wanted jewelry that captured that same regal spirit. Lorraine's designs helped me embody that balance of power and femininity, giving me something that felt both timeless and striking in a modern way." (x)
