Falconiere Is Crafting The Chainmail Renaissance<\/h1>\n
\n

From Hunter Schafer in Mother Mary <\/em>to Chappell Roan at the VMAs, the New York label is armoring up fashion\u2019s next gen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The year was 2024. A lime-green Brat era dominated timelines and club floors alike, \u201cold money\u201d enthusiasts battled \u201cMob wife\u201d devotees for the reigning style aesthetic, and a certain flame-haired pop star was loudly bursting onto the scene. Clad in head-to-toe chainmail, Chappell Roan<\/a> took the VMAs stage in a modern-day Joan of Arc ensemble<\/a> before later accepting her win in the same medieval regalia. While her speech championing queer visibility and creative freedom made headlines, it was the look \u2014 specifically, the custom chainmail gloves catching every flashbulb \u2014 that sent the internet into overdrive. Suddenly, a niche corner of fashion\u2019s obsession with the mesh fabric became a global trend.<\/p>\n

At the helm of the now-viral designs is Juniper Rose<\/a>, the one-woman force behind Falconiere<\/a>, a cult label turned industry fixation, beloved by everyone from red carpet regulars to Renaissance fair devotees, downtown creatives, and a growing legion of online fashion obsessives. Since then, A-list mainstays including Madonna<\/a>, Rihanna<\/a>, and FKA Twigs<\/a> have become clients. Most recently, Hunter Schafer<\/a> was spotted in a Falconiere sculptural harness in the new A24<\/a> drama Mother Mary<\/em><\/a>, further cementing chainmail\u2019s place as fashion\u2019s most unlikely \u201cit\u201d material.<\/p>\n

While the internet made it viral, the craftsmanship keeps it eternal. Rose constructs works that straddle the sartorial lines between jewelry, costume, and art that she says never go out of style. Unlike typical costume jewelry or statement bling, these embellishments are not adorned to accessorize a look but rather transform it entirely. \u201cI started hanging things from chainmail because I loved armor,\u201d she says, reflecting on a childhood obsession with the Cloisters and the era\u2019s Unicorn Tapestries. \u201cIt always felt more like a museum thing to me than fashion.\u201d And the fashion world is clearly returning the affection. From Ralph Lauren\u2019s recent knightly nods on the runway to Max Mara\u2019s Milan collections layering draped silhouettes with armor-like structure, the codes of the past are being reforged for fashion seasons ahead.<\/p>\n

From her bohemian Ridgewood studio, Juniper Rose catches up with NYLON\u2019s Sam Tracy to discuss her unconventional path into design, the rise, fall, and resurrection of Falconiere, and why chainmail might just be forever.<\/p>\n
