PAST COLLABORATIONS
With a shared belief in the possibility of humans to transform ourselves and come together to transform society for the better, supermodel, mother and wellness advocate Angela Lindvall joined ARTICLE22 as one of our first collaborators to create a collection, based on the sacred geometry that underpins our collective existence and to spread the message that we can change the world together - starting with ourselves. The Peace Begins in Me Collection incorporated the mathematical blueprints of the seed, fruit and flower of life which appear repeatedly in nature and have come to represent universality and oneness. Angela's mantra "I am love, I am light, I am peace" reminds us that peace first begins within.

- Several years ago, one of Article22’s slogans caught Lindvall’s eye, “I think they were saying, ‘Peace is the bomb,’ and I was just really inspired by the idea of taking melted-down shrapnel from war and turning it into jewelry,” she says. Lindvall reached out to the company, and last year the team invited her to work with them. Suda tells Vogue: “Angela shares our adventurous spirit—she lived on a houseboat in NYC!—and has been an early advocate for sustainability and wellness. Working together has felt natural; we share the belief in personal responsibility and the idea of small daily positive actions adding up.”

I AM LOVE, I AM LIGHT, I AM PEACE
Angela Lindvall lives by her words, starting with how she has raises her two sons. Creating her collection has coincided with her evolution as a full time supermodel to a model with multifaceted practices including teaching yoga, coaching young models, becoming a part time doula, and starting a regenerative farm.
Tragedy altered her course of action, somewhat. The death of her sister, coupled with a divorce, gave Lindvall pause:
“All of a sudden, I was like, Okay, I’m trying to save the planet and my world’s falling apart. This doesn’t make sense. I can’t do anything until I heal myself, so that’s kind of where my path of being an environmentalist, which I still am, took a deeper route into this idea of self-care/healing the planet.”
Celebrity stylist Laura Sophie Cox joins forces with sustainable jewelry brand ARTICLE22 to present the Shine Your Light Collection. Made by traditional artisans in Laos from upcycled war shrapnel and scrap, each piece is transformed into a symbol of love and light. As Cox's clients grace the stage and screen outfitted in her beautiful vision of slow fashion, they shine their light on sustainability. ARTICLE22 counts among its supporters, Emma Watson, one of Cox's luminary clients.

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
In creating the pieces, Laura parallels the light that is infused in the jewelry forms and names, like Sunbeam Hoops, with the light her clients shed on important topics like the environment.
As my clients grace the stage and screen, what they wear is seen by millions, raising awareness about the importance of sustainable fashion and shifting attention gradually towards brands creating new norms. Each of us have that power to make a difference.
Collaboration is essential to change. ARTICLE22 hits the mark on sustainability and ethical production because not only is their jewelry upcycled from war debris by rural artisans in Laos, it also contributes to Nobel Peace Prize Co-Laureate MAG (Mines Advisory Group) which works to clear the 80 million unexploded bombs left scarring the land.
