Made in Jablonec 2026: Memories of the Future

On the Jablonec runway, glass beads moved beyond finishing detail to become a material that builds shape, rhythm, and light.

PRECIOSA ORNELA · OFFICIAL ARCHIVE

Made in Jablonec 2026 placed North Bohemia's glassmaking heritage beside a new generation of fashion. PRECIOSA Rocailles and other bead forms became moving surfaces across seven distinct design directions.

The show's idea of “Memories of the Future” was not about repeating history. It translated craft knowledge into contemporary silhouettes through clean geometry, restrained shine, and densely worked bead surfaces.

Bead arrangements become a tool for creating line, direction, and volume.

The strongest idea was the bead's role beyond jewelry. From a distance, thousands of small glass pieces read as one textile-like surface; up close, repetition, labor, and precision become visible.

For Yeni Nesil Boncuk, the show demonstrates how catalog colors and sizes can become part of a much larger creative story. The official event page contains the full design series and photographer credits.
