Lydia Courteille flies to Beijing with her new, elaborate collection ♦ ︎
The fashion week in Paris, from 26 September to 7 October 2017, has one interest extra. And one curiosity: the new collection signed by the great designer Lydia Courteille. It will be presented at the Lydia Courteille boutique at 231 rue Saint Honoré in Paris. After the Sahara and the Amazon, the French designer found inspiration in the East. Indeed, more precisely, in the capital of China. The line of jewels, in fact, is called Automne à Pekin and is also a tribute to the novel Un automne à Pekin by Boris Vian, author who influenced Lydia Courteille in his youth. The collection, which we are going to anticipate (we will talk more widely in another article), translates into Feng Shui’s philosophy in jewelery, but also the Chinese popular beliefs. As always the jewels are made with elaborate working, with rhodium-plated gold, stones like tsavoriti, sapphires and diamonds, but also (could not miss) the jade. Here are the first images.
