The new designer of John Hardy debuts with the Naga collection ♦︎
From London to New York. And from New York to Bali. And not for a vacation. This is the road that has led Hollie Bonneville Barden, new head designer of the John Hardy brand, based in the Indonesian island. She is the first woman to take the creative guide of the Maison. And here’s his debut: a collection that plays around the Naga. Do not you know what it is? Naga is a mythological figure in South East Asia, a dragon that protects the oceans. One way, in short, to unite Bali’s tradition and myths with the style that inevitably is Western. Bonneville Barden, in fact, was the creative director of De Beers. A great jump from the diamonds of South Africa to the spirits of Asia linked to natural elements. The pieces of the Naga collection use both gold and silver, along with stones such as amethyst, but also diamonds. A collection with very distinct differences also in prices: ranging from $ 250 to $ 23,000.
Note: John Hardy celebrates the plantation of his millionth bamboo, ten years from the Wear Bamboo initiative, Plant Bamboo. For every jewel of the Bamboo collection sold, a real bamboo is planted to offset carbon emissions. Alessia Mongrando
