EVOL HEIST: EGYPT COLLECTION
EVOL HEIST just launched their new fiery collection called “EGYPT” and it is to DIE for. This fiery collection is inspired by all the beauties of Egypt with Ankh rings that have chain links, striking bolo ties, necklaces fit for Nefertiti, and earrings inspired by pharaohs and pyramids. I was asked to model the entire collection and who better to collaborate with me on it than my favorite cultural artist and best friend Derek Santiago. Santiago not only photographed me but he edited these pictures and created pure art. Speaking of art, I found this gold and black striped fabric at a fabric store and thought it would be cool as a backdrop. Low and behold after scowering through my closet and not finding anything I decided to make a dress out of the fabric I purchased. I wanted to create something Avant Garde and I did just that by draping the skirt so that it had a slit through the leg and creating an abstract sweetheart neckline on top. I needed it to be versatile so I created a vail that would soon turn into a bandeu top. It was the perfect canvas for the beautiful jewelry and I couldn’t be more happy as Nefertiti or Cleopatra. Both women were an inspiration to me since I was a kid painting henna on my hands with temptu ink. I was also Cleopatra for Halloween in 05′. This photo shoot was long overdue and what better time to do it than now, decorated in beautiful Egyptian jewelry by Evol Heist.
Inside you will see more photographs with descriptions of the Jewelry pieces.

Ankh Ring
The Ankh Cross represents life (immortality) and death, male and female, balance. It can also represent zest, joy of life, and energy. It’s closely related to the looped cross that can mean fertility and life.
Pyramid Earrings
( these were special made upside down to form V’s for Vintage Vandalizm)
The word pyramid itself means fire in the middle. Pyra / o = fire & mid = middle, i.e. fire in the middle. It doesn’t mean fire in the gross from that we see it in the world, but rather the subtle fiery generation located in all things phenomenal, that is the ‘life force’ of the cosmos.
Egypt Bolo Tie
Pharaoh Earrings and Ankh Ring
Pharaoh Earrings and Ankh Ring
Pharaoh is a title used in many modern discussions of the ancient Egyptian rulers of all periods. The title originates in the term ‘’pr-aa’’ which means ‘’great house’’ and describes the royal palace. The title of Pharaoh started being used for the king during the New Kingdom, specifically during the middle of the eighteenth dynasty.
Nefertiti Necklace and Egypt Bolo Tie
Nefertiti (c. 1370 BC – c. 1330 BC) was the Great Royal Wife (chief consort) of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. Nefertiti and her husband were known for a religious revolution, in which they started to worship one god only. This was Aten, or the sun disc.
