Amelia Arsenic designs the Sugarpill Cold Chemistry Palette

Sugarpill Cold Chemistry Collection is launched

I am exceedingly thrilled to be able to finally unveil the Cold Chemistry collection, an alchemic collaboration between Sugarpill and my brand A is for Arsenic. An elemental collision of dark glamour and nocturnal worlds, the collection features 4 meteoric shimmering shades called Diamond Eyes, Soot & Stars, Elemental Chaos and Subterranean.

A few years ago Sugarpill approached me about collaborating on a palette to embody their darker side while combining it with my personal style and aesthetics. It has been a long journey and a load of hard work to create this collection, but it was certainly worth it as the palette is my favourite makeup product I’ve ever designed to date.

Amelia Arsenic designs the Unholy Ruin Collection - Jane Doe x A is for Arsenic

A is for Arsenic, Design

Unholy Ruin: Jewellery by A is for Arsenic & Jane Doe

One of the super exciting things that happened earlier this year was that my new A is for Arsenic collection called Unholy Ruin was released. I designed this collection in collaboration with my longtime friend and muse Nine Kate of Jane Doe Latex.

Over the past few years you might have seen Nina Kate starring in many of my A is for Arsenic campaigns. Not only is she a stunning model but also an extremely talented designer and being such an ardent fan I’ve worn her designs continually on stage and for many a photoshoot. We became fast friends living in London and over many glasses (or actually bottles) of wine we decided to collaborate on a range of jewellery.

Unholy Ruin was inspired by our mutual love for twisted iconography, skulls and gangster sized gold chain. We wanted to put an occult and macabre yet modern spin on the traditional rosary. The collection features a combination of sleek laser cut acrylic, contrasted with hand made skull chain in tones of ivory and black. The use of some seriously chunky gold chain and the layering of multiple Mr-T style necklace strands makes this a pretty gangster collection!
