Enchanting Nature Naturalistic themes of great sophistication outline the new High Jewellery collection by Chaumet Temi naturalistici di grande raffinatezza caratterizzano la nuova collezione Alta Gioielleria di Chaumet

S

ince its beginnings in 1780, the refined Maison Chaumet, then still known as Nitot, has privileged Mother Nature as its inspirational muse for its sublime jewels.

The grand, courtly parures and the magnificent tiaras supplied by the Maison to all the main European courts and nobility were often characterized, as main beloved aesthetics, by sinuous interwoven branches, willowy lanceolate leaves and by delicate flowers.

The Malmaison’s gardens, so dear to the Empress Josephine because of their relaxed atmospheres, just like a perfect Arcadia, and then those more rustic and blooming favoured by Empress Marie-Louise, were often at the base of Chaumet’s most beautiful naturalistic creations.

Now, with its new collection La Nature de Chaumet, recently presented in Paris in the wonderful historic salons of the Maison specifically decorated to resemble a mysterious and romantic garden, new inspirations, which are both poetic and elegantly mythological, define the collection through four themes, all of great and refined beauty: the lily, the ear of wheat, the laurel, and the mighty oak.

The refined lily, symbol of feminine purity but also of scorching passion, the emblem of the Kings of France, is perfectly rendered in a spectacular set that comprises a tiara with detachable flowers, also wearable as brooches, a pair of transformable earrings, two rings and a elegant tourbillon volant watch with an enamel floral dial sarrounded by a diamonds frame.

Passion Incarnat, the name of the lily parure, features

beautiful teardrop red spinels, with their unique type of faceting, by exquisite deep plum rhodolite garnets and, like buds that have not yet bloomed, by bright mint-green tourmalines. These gems impart a three-dimensional realism to the flower, as do its stems paved with diamonds, on white gold.

Another lovely parure recalls the grand mythological collier Métamorphose de Dafné, conceived as an elegant weave of laurel leaves, the plant into which Zeus transformed the celebrated nymph, in order to free her from Apollo’s persistent amorous courtship. Entirely pavé-set with diamonds, they are elegantly folded, as if moved by a divine breeze.

Symbol of imperial majesty chosen by Napoleon for his renowned self-coronation, the laurel leaves are worked with a particular black rhodium plating technique that, on several leaves, renders perfectly this graceful movement, while the exquisite berries are created with rare pink spinels from Tajikistan played en camaïeu of various hues. Two rings, an elegant pair of curved leaf earrings, and a brooch complete this set. A delight of shapes, lines, and colors.

Once again, Chaumet has been able to stylishly interpret and conceive this elegant tribute to the goddess Nature, transferring its iconic leit-motifs onto extremely feminine creations, thus reconfirming its well-deserved reputation of great and inspired Parisian maître joaillier.

THE PASSION INCARNAT SET 1, 2, 4, 6 - Elegant lily motifs in purple and plum shades are set with spinels, rhodolite garnets and soft green tourmalines. Ramages paved with diamonds.

Chaumet 11

F

in dal 1780 la raffinata Maison Chaumet, all’epoca ancora Nitot, ha eletto Madre Natura come grande musa ispiratrice per i suoi sublimi gioielli.

Le grandi parures di corte e gli inarrivabili diademi forniti a tutte le dinastie europee hanno spesso favorito i sinuosi intrecci di rami, le flessuose foglie lanceolate e i fiori delicatissimi come estetiche più amate.

I giardini della Malmaison, così cari all’imperatrice Joséphine per le sue atmosfere rilassate da Arcadia perfetta e quelle campestri e fiorite favorite poi da Marie-Louise, sono stati spesso alla base delle più belle creazioni naturalistiche della Maison.

Ora, con la nuova Collezione La Nature de Chaumet ammirata di recente a Parigi nei suoi magnifici saloni appositamente allestiti quasi fossero un misterioso e romantico giardino, nuovi spunti, sia poetici sia raffinatamente mitologici, definiscono la collezione attraverso quattro temi, tutti di ricercata bellezza.

Il giglio, la spiga di grano, l’alloro e la possente quercia creano altrettanti ensembles di gioielli.

Il raffinato giglio, simbolo di femminile purezza ma anche di cocente passionalità, emblema dei Re di Francia, è reso perfettamente in uno spettacolare set composto da un diadema con fiori staccabili ed indossabili come broches, da un paio di orecchini trasformabili, da due diversi anelli e da un elegante orologio tourbillon volant con quadrante a decoro floreale in smalti e cornice in diamanti.

Passion Incarnat, questo il nome della parure-giglio, vede l’utilizzo di splendidi spinelli cremisi a goccia, dalla particolare sfaccettatura, di preziosi granati rodolite di un intensa tonalità prugna e, per simulare i boccioli non ancora dischiusi, di luminose tormaline verde brillan-

te. Queste gemme conferiscono al delicato fiore un grande realismo tridimensionale, con i gambi e gli steli modellati in diamanti su oro bianco.

Un’altra incantevole parure vede il mitologico grande collier Métamorphose de Dafné concepito come un elegante intreccio di foglie d’alloro, pianta in cui Zeus trasformò la celebre ninfa per liberarla dalle insistenti insidie amorose di Apollo, interamente ricoperte in pavé di diamanti, elegantemente ripiegate quasi fossero mosse da una brezza divina.

Simbolo della maestà imperiale scelto da Napoleone per la sua celebre autoincoronazione, il fascio di alloro presenta una particolare tecnica di rodiatura scura del metallo che rende perfettamente, su alcune foglie, questo aggraziato movimento mentre le preziose bacche sono ottenute con rari spinelli rosa del Tajikistan in varie nuances giocate in camaïeu fra loro. Due diversi anelli, un elegante paio di orecchini a foglie incurvate ed una broche a rametto completano questo set, delizia di forme, linee e colori.

Ancora una volta Chaumet ha saputo interpretare ed attualizzare con stile questo omaggio elegante alla dea Natura, trasferendo questo suo iconico leit-motif su creazione iperfemminili, riconfermando così la propria fama, assolutamente meritata, di grande ed ispirato maître joaillier parigino.

“A dress is not just fabric: a dress is a thought” Meeting Bertrand Guyon, Design Director for the Elsa Schiaparelli Maison

Paris, January 24th The event is scheduled to occur in Place Vendôme, the iconic site of Parisian luxury. With a dedicated Comité - and the mission to preserve the “supplément d’âme de la place” - it is already a story to tell. In a single glance, you take in the entire space, with its emblematic octagonal shape. An atmosphere that changes with the seasons. Austere in winter, with greenish hues, bright in summer. Two steps in, and you feel even smaller. A few cars glide by in an elegant silence. Overlooking it, the shop windows of historical jewelers. They themselves can tell a thousand intriguing tales. Only one hotel: The Ritz - recently renovated and made even more seductive - continues its legend. Other rooms, other stories, such as those experienced in the impenetrable apartments with a view, each time occupied by those who knew the world under unexpected facets. At n.26 of Place Vendôme, lived the Countess of Castiglione. At n.12, Chopin. Both aesthetes.

Today, at n.21, is the Pret à Couture Salon Boutique. Inaugurated in the 1930s by Elsa Schiaparelli, it reopened in 2016 with its new owner: Della Valle, who purchased the fashion house in 2006.

A glass and gilded elevator leads to the upper floors, yet, the stairs are preferred, covered with a soft carpet in that unmistakable shocking pink for which the Maison is known. More stories to tell. In the atelier - always off-limits - seamstresses orchestrated by the première - proudly and severely observant - and the creative director, Bertrand Guyon - at the helm of the brand since 2015 - give the finishing touches to the new Haute Couture collection.

Boasting a perfect resume, Bertrand Guyon is an expert in haute couture.

A fine connoisseur of fabrics and embroidery, he graduated from the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, worked with Hubert de Givenchy, Christian Lacroix, and then with Valentino for seven years, where he collaborated with the designing duo, Chiuri and Piccioli.

Heading towards Bertrand’s atelier, cozy and bursting with Elsa’s presence. An intimate atmosphere.

2017, Haute Couture means…

“I’ve been asked this question for many years. As if Haute Couture belonged to the past, while it is more alive than ever. It represents an important segment, also from a business point-of-view. It is the expression of exceptional craftsmanship, from those who create high-quality fabrics, to those who paint on silk, to those who sew and form tailormade garments, which tend towards absolute perfection, where detail really makes a difference. A world apart, which belongs to the patrimony of French savoir-faire, but this is not all. It is an actual treasure chest where all those virtues are kept that, without Haute Couture, would be lost. The atelier is a tried and true creative gymnasium.”

The Orient as a source of inspiration for this collection…

Elsa’s world fascinates me and entirely captivates me. It is like an iceberg. You only see the top, and below, as if hidden, many more aspects to decrypt and bring to the surface. I never cease to discover the personality of this woman who was so ahead (Bertrand’s atelier is reminiscent of Elsa everywhere, from her portrait to advertising posters, drawings, and so on - ed.) so cosmopolitan, so creative but, at the same time, attentive to the needs of her clients. During my research, I found some pictures of her apartment, where several objects belonged to the oriental culture and then, photos of her, extremely elegant, dressed in wide silk tunics.

I took these ideas and revised them, attempting to maintain a balance between the past and the present.

In the Lesage archives, I then found an original embroidery, which I replicated on a belt. It was an exciting moment.”

Among the great classics of the Maison, you could not omit that legendary shocking pink, for both a bomber jacket, as well as for an airy dress, with also several traces of it in your accessories.

“Of course. It’s Schiaparelli’s iconic color. We have it made specifically for us. It is a special, very fresh shade of pink, which Elsa defined as “impossibly brilliant, bold, pleasant, full of energy.” Shocking. Particularly sensitive to all that was related to art, Elsa was in touch with the most important artists of the time, and this influenced her entire creative process. Among her friends, with whom she collaborated actively, there were names such as Francis Picabia, Salvador Dalì, Jean Cocteau, Man Ray, and Leonor Fini who designed the perfume bottle in the shape of Mae West. The choice of such a special color, and the birth of the homonymous scent, marked an important step for Schiaparelli’s work.”

What is your idea of beauty?

“It is a very broad concept. There are different expressions of beauty: from an inner one, all to be discovered, to an outer one, which immediately wins you over. It is an emotion. Strong. Certainly, I could not live without it.”

A memorable walk you’ve taken in your lifetime...

“A long walk, letting time pass in all its sweetness, on the cliffs of Normandy. So wild. Hearing the sound of the waves crash against the rocks, watching the immensity of the sea, enveloped by the gothic atmosphere of that place. I am a native of these magical lands.”

Bertrand is very surprised by the last question. I almost feel as if I were being tactless. I close my notebook, and we continue to speak of Mont Saint Michel, of certain legends, good food, traditions, this land we both love. Here, in the atelier that overlooks Place Vendôme on a cold winter day.

Ralph & Russo An harmonious fusion of seemingly discordant factors defines an intriguing and sophisticated collection, which explores the coexistence of urban and natural elements, interpreting a modern femininity through its opposites. In view of the intersection between natural beauty and modern architecture, ornaments of a botanical origin are created, made of stones and crystals, precious as jewels, which recount the innate symmetry of nature.

Un’armoniosa fusione di elementi solo apparentemente discordanti definisce una collezione intrigante e sofisticata, che esplora la coesistenza di elementi urbani e naturali, interpretando la femminilità contemporanea attraverso i suoi opposti. Nell’ottica dell’intersezione tra bellezza naturale e architettura moderna, nascono ornamenti di derivazione botanica, fatti di pietre e cristalli, preziosi come gioielli, che raccontano la simmetria innata della natura.

Chanel Recommencing from the suit. This is the starting point for the new collection designed by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld. The magnificently sensual tweeds of the Maison in pastel colors. Very subtle. Yet, first among all is white, in its extreme expression. Constructed short jackets, with impeccable structures, and knee-length skirts. Just what Coco would have liked. A true international style. For the evening, a profusion of crystal and silver sequins, and all the lightness of feathers. A grandiose detail. The grand finale: a long pink dress - Lily-Rose Deep’s favorite color - as a closing for Karl’s show.

Ricomincio dal tailleur, questo il punto di partenza per la nuova collezione firmata dal mitico Karl Lagerfeld. I magnifici e sensuali tweed della Maison, si declinano in tinte pastellate, molto tenui, ma primo fra tutti ecco il bianco nella sua estrema espressione. Giacchine costruite, dalle strutture impeccabili, gonne al ginocchio come sarebbero piaciute a Coco. Un vero stile internazionale. Per la sera una profusione di cristalli e paillette argentate e tutta la leggerezza delle piume, come dettaglio vanitoso. Gran finale: un lungo abito rosa, il colore preferito di Lily-Rose Deep, che chiude la sfilata con Karl.

Beach towels and bathing caps, slippers and purses. The inspiration comes from the beach and everything that revolves around it. Bold and juicy colors - fun ideas that quickly become fashionable - bring to mind a certain 1960s mood. From Saint Tropez to Versilia.

Important wedge heels with vaguely ethnic patterns for hyper-colored sandals. Purses with petals from tropical flowers that also flaunt ton-sur-ton prints, while still loving pastel hues.

Teli da bagno e cuffiette, ciabattine e pochette, l’ispirazione viene dalla spiaggia e tutto il suo mondo. Colori forti, succosi, idee divertenti che fanno subito moda, ricordando certe atmosfere degli anni Sessanta, da Saint Tropez alla Versilia. Zeppe importanti dai motivi vagamente etnici per i sandali ipercolorati, petali di fiori tropicali per le borsettine, che esibiscono anche stampe tono su tono, amando le tonalità pastello.

Giorgio Armani Privé Orange in a thousand shades unites with a deep and mysterious black. A color that expresses optimism, energy, and strength, coloring crocodile, satin, chiffon, and all the precious fabrics that make up this collection. As dictated by King George, skillfully embroidered jackets with perfect cuts and important shoulders - short or elongated - are matched with sarongs and trousers, reminiscent of the Orient. The evening is lit by stars through dresses adorned with exquisitely shimmering appliqués.

L’ arancio si declina in mille nuance e si accosta al nero profondo e misterioso. Una tonalità che esprime ottimismo, energia, forza e di cui si tingono coccodrillo, satin, chiffon e tutti i preziosi tessuti di cui è composta la collezione. Giacche dai tagli perfetti, come vuole re Giorgio, ricamate con sapienza e dalle spalle importanti, corte o allungate, si accostano a parei e pantaloni, tutto evoca l’Oriente. La sera si illumina di stelle per le preziose applicazioni luminose di cui sono tempestati gli abiti.

Georges Chakra The entire collection seems suspended between absolute lightness and pastel tones that gradually become ethereal. Tones of dawn, the aurora, then reflections tinted blue, and a sweet series of barely pink. Tulle overlays, broderie anglaise, and guipure lace. Evanescent prints, made by hand, like in an English watercolor, for dresses with simply complex structures. Crystal dragonflies, micro polka dots, lilies of the valley, magnolias, bluebells, and petals in organza as decorative motifs. Exquisite. For the grand finale: a wedding dress for a bride in seventh heaven.

Tutta la collezione è come sospesa fra leggerezze assolute e toni pastellati che diventano man mano sempre più eterei, sono le sfumature dell’alba, dell’aurora, e poi riflessi azzurrati, e una dolcissima serie di rosa appena accennati. Sovrapposizioni di tulle, broderie anglaise, e pizzi guipure, stampe evanescenti, realizzate a mano come in un acquerello inglese, per gli abiti dalle costruzioni, semplicemente, complesse. Libellule in cristallo, micro pois, mughetti, fiori di magnolia, campanule, e petali di organza, come motivi decorativi, preziosi. E per il gran finale: un abito per una sposa al settimo cielo.

Elie Saab Designer Elie Saab looks towards Egypt for his Haute Couture Collection. A land where the Arab culture flourished, especially between the ‘40s and ‘60s, when Egyptian, Lebanese, and Syrian artists would express all the poetry of their world through music, writing, and cinematography. The charm of divas like Faten Hamama, hailed as the “Lady of the Arabic screen”, along with this golden age, become the designer’s muses. His pieces are refined, with exquisite embroideries and skillful draping, designed for a woman who loves culture, distinction, and elegance. Strong and delicate, free and determined.

Lo stilista Elie Saab guarda all’Egitto per la sua collezione Haute Couture. Una terra in cui fiorì la cultura araba, in particolare nel periodo tra gli anni ’40 e ’60, quando artisti egiziani, libanesi e siriani esprimevano tutta la poesia del loro mondo attraverso la musica, la scrittura e la cinematografia. Il fascino delle dive del tempo, come Faten Hamama, chiamata “Lady of the Arabic screen”, e questa epoca d’oro diventano musa per lo stilista. I capi sono raffinati, i ricami preziosi, i drappeggi sapienti, pensati per una donna amante della cultura, dell’eccellenza e dell’eleganza, forte e delicata, libera e determinata.

Un viaggio verso l’Oriente, un viaggio verso il meraviglioso. Le lanterne magiche diventano specchi deformanti che vanno ad alterare segni e codici consolidati, così dai solchi tracciati dalla tradizione ecco nascere inedite sensazioni. Le sete dai motivi jacquard, grandi classici della Cina di un tempo, vestono di nuovo appeal la borsa a mano, preziosa, importante, irriverente.

Yolan Cris. Yolanda and Cristina are the sisters and the creative minds behind the brand. Modern, unconventional, and innovative, these are the leitmotifs in a collection that is split in two: prêt-à-couture and couture, each inspired differently. The first calls to mind the ‘70s. A bohemian chic elegance, with dresses cre-

ated according to strict handcrafting practices, for the bride who wants a casual style. The couture line, “New Chic Style”, is fashioned directly in the atelier, using the finest European and French lace fabrics, enriched by exquisite embroideries and appliqués, for the most demanding brides who request a bespoke service.

Yolan Cris. Sono le sorelle Yolanda e Cristina le menti creative che si nascondono dietro il marchio. Modernità, contemporaneità e innovazione fanno da fil rouge a una collezione che si divide in due linee: la prêt-à-couture e la couture che seguono due diverse ispirazioni. La prima richiama gli anni ’70, per un’ eleganza bohemian chic, i capi sono realiz-

zati secondo rigide regole artigianali e si rivolgono a una sposa che desidera uno stile casual. La couture, dal titolo “New Chic Style”, è plasmata in atelier, con i più pregiati tessuti europei e pizzi francesi, arricchita da ricami e applicazioni preziose, per le spose più esigenti che richiedono un servizio su misura.
