Elegance and craftsmanship are two words that instantly come to mind when examining the work of Saskia Diez. The German designer creates jewelry and accessories which perfectly fall in between the lines of luxury, functionality and minimalism. Whether earrings, bracelets, bags or sunglasses, there is a certain subtlety which sets her items apart from the rest. We recently discovered the Munich-based artist and wanted to showcase some of our favorite items while also featuring her new limited soccer-inspired collection which comes just in time for the World Cup.

Some of our favorite pieces by the designer are undoubtedly the eyewear. We discovered these gems at the Viu store in Berlin and fell in love upon first fitting. All unnecessary parts are removed so there are no edges and no frames. Everything has become one for a remarkable work of art.

With the planet about to be in a frenzy for the World Cup, Diez presents a capsule collection inspired by the formations seen on the soccer field. Staying true to the brand's ethos, the pieces are playful while maintaining the designer's signature sophistication.
