Last season, we were introduced to the edgy intensity that is Mordekai by Ken Borochov – a powerful collection of scepters, crowns, and ammunition necklaces.

This season, titled Half Breed, combines Borochov’s regal approach with sharp modern pieces and wistfully ethereal styling. Feathers and tribal adornments are mixed with python slap bracelets and neon chokers for a look that cannot be typecasted by traditional standards. Instead, Half-Breed is the successful conception of Borochov’s fashion-mutt, the stimulating hybrid of stately, indigenous, and contemporary.

After arriving home from an aneurysm -inducing day at the office, there is nothing more satisfying than plucking an edgy new lookbook from the pile of bills and junkmail in our mailbox. Mordekai by Ken Borochov provided more than enough fiery intensity to pull me from that post-work slump.

The New York-based stylist revealed his collection of scepters, ammunition necklaces, and noir feather headdresses -- all charged with a controversial take on power. With an underlying focus on sexual, religious, and political influence, Borochov was inspired to design pieces that would enhance his editorial shoots.

The line, which Ken describes as “extreme adornment,” will soon be available on his website.

Now it's time to nab that crown...
