ABRAXAS REX


Perhaps it was fated by his first name, but it’s hard to imagine where New York City–born designer/runway collaborator/filmmaker/jack-of-all-artistic-trades Paris Kain would be without his passport. As the creative force behind the jewelry line Abraxas Rex, Kain gathers his materials—semi-precious stones, ancient fossils, crystals, meteorites—from all corners of the globe. His latest project is a similarly international affair: a line of silk kimonos, inspired equally by the koi pond outside his girlfriend’s California home and the ancient artisinal dyeing techniques he learned in Japan. And as a nod to Kain’s creative roots, each delicately hand-painted, one-of-a-kind piece bears a jewel-encrusted metal tag.
