Marie Mas’s Spells: After three years from Dior, the young French designer Marie Cabirou debuts with her collection ♦
Marie Mas as Hermione Granger? «I am looking for movement, poetry in the mechanism’s complexity. I love to bring a touch of magic to my jewels», she says. But maybe it’s not the same magic touch as the Harry Potter series by this young French designer, a novelty in the jewelery landscape. Marie studied at the prestigious École Duperré (College of Art, Design and Fashion) and Ifm (French Fashion Institute) in Paris. She learned jewelery design by assisting Florence Croisier and Shourouk. In 2012 she joined Christian Dior Couture with Raf Simons. She learned the secrets of high jewelery, and after three years she decided to launch her line, which has her name or rather that of her grandmother who, she explains, has influenced her taste for beauty and creation.
The first collection of Marie Mas uses especially topaz, amethyst and quartz. They are soft colors, with bracelets, earrings, pendants and rings following the movement of the body, with an allusion to the style of the 1920s. Giulia Netrese
