Convertible Jewlery/Weaponry

Weapons fascinate. Jewlery fascinates. Both are rich in cultural value, yet weapons have traditionally been an accessory for men in the same way that jewlery has been for women. Designprovocation is developing convertible jewlery/weaponry to turn that trend inside out.

With the Stun-n-Gun (pictured) our target users are terrorist women and/or les travesti. Functional and easy to build and operate, from the various pieces of jewelry that come with the kit, one can easily and fashionably assemble a glamorous pistol.

This product represents the power and dimensions of design.

Live the subtle irony of your desire.

PROVOCATION / Project
Contextual Transformation.
Research findings indicated that provocation exists predominately in the 2-dimensional realm.
With the holster accessory, the wearer assumes the threat and associated risks inherent in
provocation itself, fully 3-dimensionalizing
the concept.

STUPIDITY KILLS

Does this make you feel elitist? Arrogant? Paranoid? Understood? Ironically, it’s only meant to make you think. Take it personally or don’t. It’s still true.

You should know that there is a label that comes with a child-sized superman costume that reads, “wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.” Seriously.

Anyway, Ivan Illich said it best -"we all gotta go somehow.”
