The new 2020 jewelry collection is embodied by Dior Joaillerie face Cara Delevingne. In a playful video Cara Delevingne extolls the secret specialness of these tiny jewelry treasures. Dior Mimirose is composed of flexible and adaptable pieces designed to be treasured, stacked and mixed according to one’s whims. Bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings come in yellow or rose gold accented with diamonds, rubies or emeralds.

With their sensual miniature dimensions, these ‘Mimirose’ lucky charms are meant to be held close, subtly interacting with the skin like lace, eternal totems traversing time.

Dior invites us to rediscover the ‘Rose des Vents’ jewelry collection by Victoire de Castellane, courtesy of Dior Joaillerie face Cara Delevingne. Inspired by the navigational wind rose that decorated Monsieur Dior’s clifftop childhood home at Granville, and by his love of roses, these talismanic pieces – as bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings – feature alternating medallions with eight-pointed stars denoting a compass and symbolic hardstones, each encircled with twisting rice grains that recall boat rigging and the lure of new horizons.

Dior Grand Bal Masqué’ watch line of 12 one-of-a-kind watches features rotors as dancing carnival masks; still lifes by @JuliaHetta that capture the uniqueness of each piece, as shot for #DiorMagazine No.30. @Dior; photos @JuliaHetta

An exceptional new style joins the ‘Dior Grand Bal’ Dior Haute Horlogerie collection.

Inspired by Monsieur Dior’s beloved masquerade balls, the ‘Dior Grand Bal Masqué’ line of 12 one-of-a-kind watches features rotors as dancing carnival masks, decorated in feather-trimmed gemstones set off with diamond-set bezels and cases. With an automatic “Dior Inversé 11 1/2” caliber movement, its signature is the frontal rotor twirling to mimic a ballgown, as in the original feather-embellished ‘Plume’ version.

Celebrating the mysteries of nature, these exquisite Dior Haute Horlogerie timepieces become the key components of captivating still lifes by @JuliaHetta that capture the uniqueness of each piece, as shot for Dior Magazine No.30. “With their distinctive “Dior Inversé 11 ½” caliber movement, the visible front rotors twirl like ball gowns in delicate examples of couture feather-working or gem-setting expertise, all testaments to the justifiably renowned Dior Savoir-Faire,” commented Dior.

Les Cristaux Celine to be worn by men as well as women

 

New proportions and smooth velvet are the foundations of the season’s Celine gender-fluid silhouettes. The luxury brand owned by LVMH group also launched a limited-edition jewelry collection called Les Cristaux Celine.

@celine.com

The Fall/Winter 2020-2021 collection embodies an evolution of the Celine wardrobe envisioned by Artistic Director Hedi Slimane.

This is a unisex collection, with each piece – including the bags – designed to be worn by men as well as women. As the models walked the runway, each look echoed the next in a play of fabrics: smooth velvet on jackets, pants and dresses, silk on androgynous blouses, shaping a new vision of romanticism.

Some of the accessories were created in collaboration with Fondation César and reinterpreted the sculptor’s iconic compressions. Crafted from silver and vermeil, these limited-edition jewelry pieces are in equal measure pendants and works of art.

The new Fall Winter 2020 collection also spotlighted the new Les Cristaux Celine jewelry line, with bracelets, rings and pendants fashioned from nine precious stones, including rock crystal, smoky quartz and star mica, chosen by Hedi Slimane for their beauty and symbolism.

2020 Pomellato For Women’s mission is to listen, to empower, to promote inclusiveness, and to achieve equality.

The luxury Italian jewelry brand Pomellato and an impressive cast of Hollywood artists, fashion headliners, and diversity activists collaborate for the 3rd annual ‘Pomellato For Women’ video. A true woman’s affair, most of Pomellato’s clients are women buying jewels for themselves, thus Pomellato’s workforce is 74% female, and has been headed by CEO Sabina Belli since 2015.

Starring actress and political activist Jane Fonda for the third year in a row, as well as award-winning actress and humanitarian Cate Blanchett, the 2020 Pomellato For Women Godmother, the video also features 2020’s Academy Awards-winning and outspoken actress Laura Dern, comedic actress and philanthropist Tiffany Haddish, lauded French actress Isabelle Huppert, LGBTQ+ activist and social media sensation Max Emerson, French founder of the Maison des Femmes and sexual violence activist Dr. Ghada Hatem, Irish writer, broadcaster and activist Sinéad Burke, acclaimed Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg, Chinese actress Huang Xiang Yi, Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher, Canadian transgender model Krow Kian, and Pomellato Group CEO Sabina Belli, as they announce themselves hopeful and united in the belief that we can effect change.

The Pomellato For Women initiative was first developed in 2017 to highlight the importance of female leadership and a more authentic idea of natural beauty.

The luxury Italian brand was founded by Pino Rabolini in 1967 under the concept of prêt-à-porter jewelry for the liberated woman during an important era for women’s emancipation. Pomellato recognized that the independent woman would need a more functional jewel to wear from workday to evening, and the ready-to-wear jewelry concept was born. Since, Pomellato has been known as the brand that designs for women, promoting the unity, strength and equality of womankind.

“In today’s tumultuous social climate, we have a responsibility to do what we can. As head of a luxury brand company designed for women, of course Pomellato will use its forum to call for change and promote inclusivity. We stand in defiance to gender inequality, bigotry, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, to any fear of ‘the other.’ We raise our voices loud and our spirits high. We are hopeful for a healthier, more unified, more inclusive future,” said Pomellato’s Sabina Belli.
