Givenchy Catwalk: The Complete Collections
Sapphire : A Celebration of Colour
Cartier: Beautés du Monde : High Jewelry and Precious Objects
François Chaille and Alberto Cavalli
True to the Cartier brothers’ passion for the earth and its natural beauties, the newest collection of high jewelry brings the wonders of nature and cultural splendors from all four corners of the globe into dialogue. Sublimated by the interplay of stones and drawings, the inspirations give rise to highly stylized, even abstract compositions of a new genre. A coral reef entwines the length of a flamboyant necklace, an iguana skin transforms into a geometric matrix, and a Chinese puzzle box reveals a kaleidoscopic ring. Natural treasures and the fruits of human creativity meet in the purity of original compositions, revealing the unique dimensions of a multi-faceted universe that showcases all of the richness of the natural world and the Cartier universe.
Francois Chaille is passionate about art history, fashion, jewelry, and watchmaking. He has collaborated with Flammarion to publish over fifteen books on these subjects.
Alberto Cavalli is Executive Co-Director of the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship and the Director General of the Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d’Arte. A professor at Milan’s university Politecnico, he writes regularly about the arts for several international reviews.
