Beatrice Borromeo in black and white for Buccellati




Beatrice Borromeo’s face will continue to wear Buccellati’s jewels for a long time to come. The journalist and documentary director, descendant of one of the noble families with the longest history (among her ancestors there is also a saint), since 2015 she has been married to Pierre Casiraghi, son of Princess Caroline of Monaco, with whom she had two sons.

In addition, for a couple of years, Beatrice Borromeo has become the face of the communication campaigns of the Italian jewelry brand that is now part of the Richemont group. The new images were taken by Josh Olins, a London-based photographer based in New York and a specialist in portraying the world of fashion. The three photos of the advertising campaign have one characteristic: they are in black and white. An unusual choice in the world of jewelry, which often enhances the colors of gold and precious stones. The images of Beatrice Borromeo, on the other hand, choose the path of author photography.

Buccellati in the garden of luxury

//




Take high jewelery, add some nature, season everything with a refined setting and a face with noble ancestry: this is the recipe for the new collection Il giardino di Buccellati. The Milanese Maison, which now orbits in the Richemont group, presented its high-end jewels on the occasion of the Parisian haute couture week. And, given the particular location, he modulated his embroidered geometries through the lenses of the Impressionist painters, who have often reinterpreted the motif of flowers.

Not only that: for the launch of the collection, photographer Josh Olins recreated a magical atmosphere set on Lake Como, where Beatrice Borromeo, testimonial of the Maison, and Lucrezia Buccellati, now the fourth generation of designers, were photographed with some of the creations. As mentioned, Buccellati’s Il Giardino collection takes inspiration from the shapes of nature through the glasses of painting.

The inspiration was very strong. Once again I wanted to create a collection of great impact by recalling the colors of nature in the canvases of Impressionist painters. With these stones it was easy to sublimate the color combinations and create an evocative and surprising garden. The our.

The historic rhombuses of Buccellati come back

///




A classic collection with a new face, that of the Buccellati brand ambassador, Beatrice Borromeo. The occasion is not only the communication campaign of the Italian brand, which is now part of the Richemont group stable, but also the approach of Mother’s Day. But the jewels of the Milanese Maison are, by definition, characterized by a style that is not linked to a single event or to a momentary fashion.

As evidenced by the Rombi (rhombuses) collection, which preserves the stylistic elements that make a Buccellati jewel immediately recognizable, starting with the compositions marked by geometric shapes. Starting with that of the rhombus, a Renaissance-inspired geometry, which is found in the decorations and details of the Florentine architecture of the time. A job that requires precision and patience: in Buccellati’s jewels the embroidery around the geometric figure of the rhombus is obtained through a meticulous fretwork performed with hand tools, with white and yellow gold dotted with brilliant-cut diamonds. The result is jewels with a precious flavor with the charm of history.

Buccellati changes house




Just a year ago, the Richemont group bought the Buccellati Maison from the Chinese group Gangsu Gangtai, which in turn had bought it from the Italian Clessidra fund. The transfer of ownership produced the first visible change: the headquarters of the company founded in 1919 moved to a new large headquarters, also in Milan. It is now located in a building designed by the historic architect Pietro Portaluppi, in via Brisa 5, city center. It is a building designed by the architect in 1950, in perfect rationalist style. The building was completely redeveloped with a retrofitting project curated by Park Associati.

Noor Fares is spiritual

The spiritual jewels of the Akash collection by Noor Fares.
Spiritual jewelry. But above all jewelry with personality. The new collection of Noor Fares, Akasha, is inspired by the symbols of Hinduism, as the Sri Yantra. The name comes from a word in ancient Sanskrit, the symbol used in meditation to balance and focus the mind. For the truth now will be in focus even a little ‘of female vanity. The geometric shapes of the collection using white diamonds, white topaz, iolite, green tourmaline, rubelite to draw triangles, circles and diamonds with a soft hypnotic effect. “Spirituality has always been a personal interest, I do a lot of research, I’m interested in different attributes of the stones,” said the Lebanese designer, but with atelier in London. Even if you are not particularly interested in doing meditation while are watching a ring or earrings, in any case, this collection can have a beneficial effect on the spirit, even if a bit ‘less on the portfolio (a pair of earrings costs about 9,000 Euros).
The collection inspired by Indian religious philosophy could also be the effect after a year of marriage: the designer, in fact, she married Alexandre Al Khawam, an entrepreneur in the field of art and finance. The ceremony, celebrated in Normandy, has had media coverage, in part because the party for the wedding was organized with great luxury and Arabic style in the family estate (the theme was One Thousand and One Nights). Many of the celebrities present, as Andrea Casiraghi, Beatrice Borromeo, Pierre Casiraghi, Eugenie Niarchos, Dana Alikhani, Margherita Missoni, Bianca Brandolini D’Adda, the designer Mary Katrantzou. Who knows if now they will buy the new jewelry collection. Lavinia Andorno
