AMFI | fashion concept
school project (2022)


Aiming to romanticize a part of the Hip-Hop scene, chaning the outlook on grillz for the positive by including the history of the grillz and add on crystals to amplify this positivity.



GEMS magazine













All your life you seek for gems. It can either be that one memory of your vacationn in France two years ago where you always reminisce on. Or even your old favorite T-shirt of Biggie which you wore till it ripped apart. anything that you cherish can be a gem. In this issue we wish to enlighten and inspirre you about some of our own gems and those of others.

We will tell you all about grillz and crystals. Challanging the negative associations with grillz and creating a postive outlook by combining them with crystals. We want to give you insight from how you can cleanse your crystals, to from whom grillz originated, from combining two worlds into one, our gem.

Firstly diving into who we are to give you a close up of who is actually behind the magazine. Our own explorations of certain parts in our heritage: Surinamese jewellery and Mayan dentistry. from cleansing crystals to grillz care. An editorial where we visualize our vision on how crystal healing properties may affect you. And lots more.

We wish it will give you something new. Perhaps a gem: Physically or mentally.
