AND_i

Andreas Eberharter was born in Schwaz / Austria in 1971 and has worked as a freelance goldsmith since 1994. He founded his label AND_i in 2001: “Sexy, provoking and wild. My brand-new jewellery and accessories collection 'Horny' was inspired by Tyrolean buckhorn. I designed a collection which for the first time contains not only jewellery but also a number of accessories." The A/W 09/10 collection "Horny" shows different materials like 925 sterling silver, leather and aluminium and consists of three series. The colours have been reduced to black, white and silver. The collection’s eye-catcher is the leather series that is both luxurious and rocking and is available for men and women. The hand-made must-haves, which range from headbands, neckbands and bracelets to gauntlets (in cooperation with NINA PETER) and belts, are jewelled with provoking little horns made of silver. In contrast, the collection also contains sexy colliers – chunky metal necklaces combined with big Swarovski pearls. “And of course there are new bracelets made of the unusual material aluminium – a characteristic of my label."
