Subversive Jewelry, designed by Mt. Lebanon native Justin Giunta, is characterized by a baroque excess -- tangles of chains, dripping with beads and charms from bygone eras. And for his unique vision, last week the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation awarded Giunta, 28, with a $25,000 grant to help further his line.
His work is not understated, and it's not jewelry for wallflowers; the ideal Subversive clients are "smart women not influenced by trend or price," Giunta said.
In a relatively short time -- he only began making jewelry in 2003 -- the designer has received heaps of recognition from the fashion industry. His work has been featured in Vogue, ELLE and O: The Oprah Magazine.
