The Making of MARKGONG x Missoma

Jenny Rae

Introducing a new limited-edition collaboration with MARKGONG. The Shanghai fashion brand is helmed by Mark, the New York-trained designer defining a new wave of modern femininity, with their garments spotted on everyone from BlackPink's Jennie and Lisa to Margot Robbie and Rihanna.

With MARKGONG x Missoma, discover a fusion of fashion and jewelry at its most sculptural with draped and bow silhouettes, wearable day-to-night hoops and silver staples for the cool tone lovers.

 

About MARKGONG

The designer Mark Gong graduated from Parsons School of Design in the United States and founded his eponymous womenswear brand in 2018. Drawing on the free spirit and rebellious attitude of modern women, MARKGONG uses "GONG GIRLS" to define the brand's female demographic. This term reshapes the image of women with a global vision, full of curiosity and exploration. MARKGONG is the youngest designer brand at both New York and Shanghai Fashion Weeks.

 

 

The Inspiration

Taking over 350 hours to create the CADs alone, the collection explores drape and bow motifs rendered in fluid gold, with precision in every fold. Sculptural yet soft, the pieces move like silk across the body.

 

 

“Missoma and MARKGONG are both confident, playful, and unapologetically expressive. For me, this collaboration is about translating the spirit of MARKGONG into jewelry that feels just as bold and personal as our clothes. Although we come from different cities MISSOMA from London, and MARKGONG from New York and Shanghai we share the same belief in jewelry that feels powerful yet effortless, which made this collaboration feel instinctive.”

- Mark Gong

 

 

Draped to Perfection

We've designed the Draped Hoops – set to become the hoop of the season – for effortless, everyday styling. Organic finishes run throughout the collection, from an ear cuff that delivers instant stacked impact, to the Draped Pendant Cord Necklace, offering multiple ways to style.

 

Take a Bow

Completing the edit is a modern bow hoop, where every fold and crease is captured in sculptural form – a jewelry translation of MARKGONG's signature approach to draping.

 

 

“Six years into China, Shanghai continues to define what’s next – and Mark Gong is right at the heart of that movement. I’ve admired his bold aesthetic and storytelling for some time; he represents a new generation of designers shaping modern fashion. Supporting emerging talent is also part of Missoma’s DNA, so this collaboration felt instinctive and it’s been so fun to work with Mark on this project, to bring his vision to life as jewelry.”

- Marisa Hordern, Founder & Creative Director
