Barbara Campbell’s Glam Rock Collection: Vintage meets Urban Edge
The Urban Style Examiner first interviewed Jewelry Designer Barbara Campbell in October 2009. She has since launched the amazing collection: Glam Rock which is comprised of mini groups Black Rain and Industrial Revolution.
Barbara told the Urban Style Examiner that she, like many artists were inspired by the recession that started in late 2007.
Her attention turned to designs that were
long lasting, hard standing, overcoming pieces of jewelry that makes a urban chic statement about fashion, life and style.
At first glance a lot of the collection seems urban and edgy…and it is. But there are also pieces that vintage inspired like the vintage charm bracelet. Barbara will ingeniously turn your old charms and keys into amazing bracelets.

What I bought this month: shoes
I’ve recently been fantasising about some desert boots. Actually dreaming at night. In these dreams, people have been throwing admiring glances at my feet. Openly complimenting me on my exquisite taste. Unfortunately these desert boots are by Acne, and cost £275. That’s obscene for what they are, but let me tell you right now – I have never seen a more perfect pair. Are they an investment? No. Do I need them? Absolutely not. Am I going to buy them? Probably.
I have a chequered history of spending too much money on shoes. When I was 17 and raking in £3.75 an hour at a garden centre, I saved up for ages to buy a pair of £130 Timberland boots that were, incidentally, hideous. Once I had them, I spent a lot of time inspecting them, displaying them on my bookcase (I can’t explain that), trying them on indoors, and applying some weird leather cream that cost me another £13, but I was too nervous to actually wear them out. I couldn’t countenance them getting dirty, or scuffed. A ridiculous waste of money. And yet I haven’t learnt my lesson. Read more
