Discover the Ambush collection for women for the Fall-Winter 2021-2022 season.
The AMBUSH’s jewelry line, inspired by hip-hop culture, is composed of unique and voluminous pieces, with premium quality. The trend of the mix of gold and silver creeps into this collection made up of bracelets, necklaces and rings. The main pendants are: a lock, a heart, a rose… Symbols representing love and romanticism, mixed with urban style of chain in large mesh. These jewels bring light and shine to these silhouettes with sober and minimalist tones.
Born in Seoul in 1977, Yoon Ahn grew up in the United States and now works in Tokyo. Ambush’ story begins in 2008 when the couple looked for accessories for Verbal’ stage outfit. Not finding what they were looking for, they create with a designer friend a gold ring with a "POW!". Sudden success, Japanese buyers are seduced. Since then, XXL jewelries made in gold and silver conquer the entire American hip hop scene and artists like Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Jay Z.
Inspired by the punk-rock and hip hop universes, the AMBUSH collections are a successful mix between streetwear and chic: relaxed attitude, urban and refined silhouette, oversized cuts, noble materials, comfortable fabrics and contemporary design.
To cite a few key dates:
- 2017, Ambush is one of the eight finalists for the LVMH Prize
- April 2018, Yoon Ahn is appointed head of jewelry creation at Dior by the new artistic director of the brand Kim Jones
- January 2020, the label is bought by the FARFETCH-NEW GUARDS GROUP, which already owns the brands Off-White, Heron Preston, among others.
