The Mexican design duo is now ready to take on the ladies with their first women&amp;#039;s collection, launching exclusively on Moda Operandi tomorrow. The capsule collection consists of earrings, pins, rings, and charms\u2014all of which reflect M. de Phocas&amp;#039; adoration of curiosities and anomalies. Torres said, &amp;quot;A lot of these pieces were inspired by our men&amp;#039;s collections which reference various subjects like history, nature, and pop culture, [like] the three little pigs ring referencing the children&amp;#039;s fable.&amp;quot;   Moda Operandi&amp;#039;s ready-to-wear director, Indre Rockefeller, had some high praise for these pop culture-inspired pieces. Of the collaboration&amp;#039;s inception, Rockefeller said, &amp;quot;I first saw M. de Phocas on the lapel of Delpozo creative director, Josep Font, who was my date to the Met Gala.&amp;quot; She added, &amp;quot;[We] worked together to create rings, earrings, bracelets, and pendants, integrating their pristine craftsmanship and unique sense of humor.&amp;quot; Shop the inaugural women&amp;#039;s collection for $180 to $3,350 at ModaOperandi.com, starting tomorrow\u2014and check out images of the line, exclusively on ELLE.com.
