Francesca Amfitheatrof

The new Empreinte by Louis Vuitton




The Empreinte name is an icon of the Louis Vuitton brand. Indicates a collection of bags but also of jewelry. Empreinte was born almost 20 years ago, in 2004, but now the artistic director for jewelry and watches, Francesca Amfitheatrof, has expanded the collection. The design is inspired by the imprint of the rivets used on traditional trunks, which has been engraved on the jewels in 18-karat yellow, white or pink gold. In the wake of the now meanstream vision, jewels are for both men and women. Like the other creations of the Maison that is part of the LVMH group, the jewels bear the initials LV, designed by Georges Vuitton in 1896, in addition to the classic perforated Monogram flowers.

The flower with four petals, for example, is clearly visible on medallions and bracelets. The collection includes a long sautoir necklace that easily transforms into a multi-strand bracelet or overlapping necklaces. There are also shaped hoop earrings and a single rose gold diamond earring that can be worn alone or together.

The precious Spirit of Louis Vuitton

//




What distinguishes a high jewelry collection from another? The design, the stones used, the style of those who conceived it. Agree. But there is more. A jewel is unmistakable only if, alongside the opulence of its elements, materials and gems, it also retains its own spirit, something more that determines its charm. As in the case of the 125 pieces of high jewelery presented by Louis Vuitton in a collection called Spirit. It is the fourth creation with the Maison of the Lvmh group of Francesca Amfitheatrof, the most cosmopolitan creative director of the globe (American father of Russian origin, Italian mother, born in Japan, studied in London and worked in New York, and now in Paris) .

The spirit in question, the one born with Monsieur Louis Vuitton’s first-class suitcases, is the classic flower monogram, which occurs together with the initials LV in the French brand’s jewels. But, unlike other big names in fashion and jewelry, in this case it is perfectly integrated into the jewelry. For example, a new diamond cut with the shape of the monogram flower has been introduced and patented. Spirit is also the largest collection of fine jewelry ever created by the Maison, which in total required some 40,000 hours of work. Another feature of the collection is that it includes many decomposable jewels.

Spirit is high jewelery, with unique pieces and stones. Like the Art Nouveau necklace with lots of diamonds and, above all, a royal blue sapphire from Sri Lanka weighing 18.08 carats. For this necklace Francesca Amfitheatrof used a diamond mosaic together with a hinge mechanism like that of the trunks, together with emeralds from Colombia, with an 8.90 carat gemstone, and a 2.60 carat D VVS1 diamond in the characteristic Monogram Flower cut.

The Grace necklace has a double V design. It was crafted from custom cut baguette diamonds, with round diamonds curving in a soft wave on white gold. And most importantly, a huge 65.26-carat tsavorite hangs from the necklace. The stone is also a detachable pendant. The necklace took 2,000 hours of work and is accompanied by rings with the same materials and the same style.

Among the exceptional gems in the collection there is also a Mozambican ruby ​​of over 10 carats, with an intense red hue with an unusual emerald cut. It is applied, together with others, to a necklace and can be detached and then applied to a diamond ring, which in turn can be broken down and added to the necklace. In short, a very precious game.

Louis Vuitton, high jewelry with Bravery II

/




One way to be appreciated by others is to love yourself. If, then, it is a brand celebrated all over the world, emphasizing its exclusivity becomes almost an obligation. This is why there are many fashion and jewelry houses that launch collections inspired by anniversaries or their own history. This is the case of Louis Vuitton, the main brand of the LVMH group, which presented its Bravery II collection during the Paris fashion week. The Roman numeral indicating two is necessary, given that it is the second chapter of the high jewelery collection that pays homage to the 200th anniversary of the birth of the founder, Louis Vuitton. Who, recalls the Maison, showed courage in embarking on his path as an entrepreneur (we talked about it here).

Il collier Le Magnétisme, con uno zaffiro giallo taglio cuscino da 20,29 carati dello Sri Lanka, con due file di tormaline rosa, arancio e gialle, per un totale di 152,86 carati

The collection presented, in any case, is made up of 20 new pieces of high jewelery divided into four different themes (Le Multipin, Le Magnétisme, La Mini Malle e Cocktail Rings). At the heart of the motifs identified by the creative director Francesca Amfitheatrof are always the shapes of padlocks, clasps and letters V, which refer to the brand of the Maison. Symbols using diamonds and colored gemstones. For example, the over 20-carat sapphire that makes up the pendant of the Le Magnétism necklace is suspended by a V made up of baguette-cut diamonds. The pendant can be detached and becomes a brooch. And this is a feature of the entire collection: most of Bravery II’s pieces are transformable and can be worn in different ways.

Il collier Mini Malle. È composto da maglie in pavé di diamanti e impreziosito da diamanti taglio fiore Monogram. Il girocollo presenta tre Mini Malles, evidenziati da tre diamanti LV Monogram Star-cut, uno dei quali del peso di 3,34 carati

Another example concerns the line called Mini Malle, in white gold and diamonds. The name and appearance of these jewels is linked to the geometric shape of the Petite Malle trunk, created by Louis Vuitton in 2014. As for the tight-link choker necklace, made up of three Mini Malles inspired by the house’s monogram made of diamonds.

Louis Vuitton high jewelry, courage and nostalgia

//




The iconic V, the letter of the alphabet that has turned into the hallmark of Louis Vuitton, is not lacking. The new high jewelery collection of the French brand, born from the creativity of the artistic director Francesca Amfitheatrof, however, has more demanding ambitions than the simple reproduction in luxury scale of the logo of the queen Maison of the LVMH group. Not surprisingly, the collection is called Bravery, and courage is its banner. Also in this collection the common thread comes from the history of the brand, or rather, of its founder, coinciding with the 200th anniversary of its birth, on 4 August 1821.

The collection, in fact, is divided into eight lines that are inspired by as many episodes in the life of Monsieur Louis Vuitton, the man who created stackable trunks and, perhaps, also the concept of luxury. The world-famous LV brand has been a symbol ever since, loved, desired (and copied). For example, the first stop in the collection is La Constellation d’Hercule, which indicates the stellar combination that witnessed the birth of Louis Vuitton. Or the La Flêche necklace is inspired by the long (three years) journey of the very young Vuitton to Paris, where he would have created the foundations for his empire. The arrow shape ends with a large blue sapphire. In short, the collection does not betray the expectations or even the bicentennial history of the Parisian Maison.

The new B Blossoms by Louis Vuitton

///




B Blossom collection by Louis Vuitton is enriched with new pieces, which are variations on the original theme. The collection was presented two years ago and represented the debut of the former Tiffany Francesca Amfitheatrof, as artistic director for Louis Vuitton’s Watches and Jewelry area. The collection has garnered acclaim and has remained among the most popular jewelry lines of the French brand. The aesthetic of the collection plays around the characteristic Monogram flower that distinguishes the Maison.

In the 2021 variant, gold and diamonds are added a mix of colored stones such as onyx, carnelian, malachite, agate, selected to visually warm the appearance of the jewels. There are two variants, in yellow or pink gold. The novelties include bracelets or light pendants, which can also be worn all together. The line also includes button earrings and rings with cabochon-cut stones fixed on the raw stem, without setting.

(Italiano) LV Volt, collezione unisex di Louis Vuitton

//




Louis Vuitton has launched the second fine jewelry collection signed by Francesca Amfitheatrof, artistic director of the watch and jewelry sectors of the French brand part of the LVMH group. The style of the new jewelry line is exactly that simple and sophisticated that characterized the creative when she was at Tiffany: clean, modern lines, with the addition of a few diamonds here and there to enrich the jewelry. But, at the same time, the collection is perfectly in the Vuitton style, since it proposes variations on the theme of the logo of the famous Maison, characterized by the letters L and V, variously intertwined.

Not surprisingly, the jewelry line is called LV Volt. It is made up of 36 pieces in gold and diamonds. But it also has another aspect: it is unisex. The male world, in fact, is the new frontier for large jewelry companies, which hope to persuade men to wear earrings, bracelets and necklaces not only in rough metal, but also in gold and precious stones. In fact, the advertising campaign, photographed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, enlisted both women and men: the actress Alicia Vikander, ambassador of the Maison and Oscar winner, the dancer of the Paris Opera Hugo Marchand, the Belgian painter and model Sharon Alexis and model XiaoXing Mao.

The single-use jewelry by Francesca Amfitheatrof

//





The first collection of the Francesca Amfitheatrof brand is called Tag, with jewels that can no longer be removed ♦ ︎

The news has shaken the world of jewelry and, to tell the truth, has left more than one expert perplexed. Francesca Amfitheatrof, who has been a jewelry designer for Louis Vuitton for about a year, starts with her own jewelery brand. In short, his role in the French group did not last long. As far as we know, the brand will have an unusual name: Thief and Heist (but in jargon it can mean also charging someone on his shoulders), with commercial activity starting from March 2019.

Francesca Amfitheatrof’s jewels will be directed to a vast audience. In short, no high jewelry.

Francesca Amfitheatrof
Francesca Amfitheatrof

The designer’s first collection will be sold online on Thiefandheist.co. The name of the line is Tag. The jewelry is now only visible on Instagram and are very minimal: a nylon strap with a silver clasp, an object similar to those bands that are used by electricians to gather the cables. The band will be available in white or black, but the most strange aspect is that, just like the industrial bands, to remove the jewel you need to cut the band. The designer defines this aspect as “fun”. But, in short, at least pay attention not to tighten it too much. This disposable cuff should cost around $ 125. “I really wanted to create something that no one has ever seen before. The industry could use a little shaking up “, commented Francesca Amfitheatrof.

The designer before the hit-and-run by Louis Vuitton was the design director of Tiffany & Co from 2013 to 2017. Francesca Amfitheatrof has however started as a designer of jewelry and silverware. His projects have been sold internationally and also exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Colette in Paris. The designer has also developed jewelery for brands such as Chanel, Fendi and Marni. In addition, she has been an art consultant, curator and consultant for important collections and individuals. She graduated from the Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins and Chelsea Art School. Now a new life begins. Giulia Netrese

High jewelery, the Régalia of Vuitton

/




Louis Vuitton presents the new collection of high jewelry, Régalia, which marks the debut of Francesca Amfitheatrof ♦ ︎

It was a surprise to many the release of Francesca Amfitheatrof from Tiffany and the subsequent landing at Louis Vuitton, in April. And, still, many they were curious to observe the first steps of the new creative director for jewelry. Here they are satisfied, even if the new collection of fine jewelry, Conquêtes – Régalia, is likely to be the result at least in part of the previous work, since jewels of that type are made in long weeks of work, preceded by an equally long selection of stones.
Régalia is, therefore, a new chapter in the Conquêtes collection, and is inspired by the signs of kings and emperors, that is to say, to the heraldry (the codes of the coats of arms) and the study of the honors, orders and decorations. That said it looks like something a little dusty. But it’s just an inspiration. In reality it is the classic collection of high-end jewelry typical of Vuitton, where the emblem refers to the Maison, the letter V that repeats itself in the form of gold covered with diamonds and becomes the design around which the jewel rotates, or the four lobes of the flower of the Vuitton logo, always mentioned, but without the brand overwhelming the balance of the jewel.
The collection is quite large: Régalia consists of seven sets and around 60 pieces. A falls of diamonds, of course, but also an accurate research of the colored stones, around which the different pieces are composed. Large emeralds, but also red spinels, mint green tourmalines, large yellow sapphires, tsavorite. They are the same stones to be an emblem, of luxury and wealth. Giulia Netrese

A Francesca Amfitheatrof (ex Tiffany) i gioielli di Louis Vuitton ♦︎

Grandi manovre nel mondo della grande gioielleria.

Tiffany & shock

/

New earthquake at Tiffany: resigns the number one of managers, Frederic Cumenal.
You could call it Tiffany & Choc. After the departure of creative director Francesca Amfitheatrof, replaced by Reed Krakoff, the CEO Frederic Cumenal has resigned with immediate effect. Michael J. Kowalski, chairman and former CEO of Tiffany assumed the position of interim CEO. The headhunters are already working to identify the successor of Cumenal. The decision was pushed by the same reason that caused the changing of the guard of the designer number one: the disappointing financial results. A company statement reaffirms the commitment to find the right path. By a strange coincidence, the announcement came a few hours before Lady Gaga made its appearance during the Superbowl in a movie signed Tiffany, and more, the company has created the silver oval ball awarded to the winner of the football game team. A completely different match was held instead in hushed rooms in Manhattan, home to the largest group of the world’s jewelery. Now Tiffany must find a way to return to go in goal. According to the company’s forecasts in 2017 profits are expected to decline by about 5%, while global net sales will decrease by a single-digit percentage. Federico Graglia

Earthquake at Tiffany’s

/

Tiffany changes Creative Director: via Francesca Amfitheatrof, arrives Reed Krakoff. What will change?
Earthquake at Tiffany’s. Breakfast, this time, is for Reed Krakoff, new chief artist officer. Simultaneously resigned Francesca Amfitheatrof, design director of the brand since 2013. A sudden lightning? Maybe. Because the changing of the guard takes place after one year not particularly positive for sales of American brand. Krakoff, who was also the creative mind of Coach and Ralph Lauren, already collaborated with Tiffany since last year for gift collections, home and accessories. Now, however, he will have in hand all the creativity of Tiffany. The direction of Francesca Amfitheatrof came up against a market that, according
many, has lost its attractiveness for Millenials. For two years the store of Tiffany have marked sales rather gray, mitigated by the statement given in the fall, but that relates to China and Japan. In contrast, sales of jewelry with blue boxes are stagnant in the United States, area that is more than 50% of group turnover. Even the legendary store in downtown New York has suffered this year due to the proximity of the Trump Tower, became the target of opponents of the new occupant of the White House: the store for that fell by 14% in November and December. Now for Tiffany it is the turning point.

11 Masterpieces by Tiffany

/

The images of 11 Masterpieces 2016 by Tiffany you should definitely see.
When Tiffany walks up the stairs of the jewelry to offer high-end pieces, few manage to be at par. This is the case of Masterpieces, jewels that interpret the common spirit of beauty, luxury, precious (we have anticipated a part here). Masterpieces are kind of concert where the singer or the band tries to give the best of their abilities: some examples you see on this page. There are colored diamonds that are a workhorse of Tiffany, large precious stones, queen’s necklaces, princess’s bracelets, Art Deco style, and historical pieces as the elephant-shaped clips designed by the legendary Jean Schlumberger.
Francesca Amfitheatrof, creative director of Tiffany, has designed the collection in two themes, Prism Tiffany and Tiffany Ribbons. The first is inspired by the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the first designer of the company, which was also famous for its lamps with colored glasses. Obviously in this case the kaleidoscope of colors is realized with precious stones, juxtaposed with pleasant contrasts. Tiffany Ribbons consists of jewelry that draped fabric surfaces as if they were: light appear and explains Francesca Amfitheatrof, are inspired by the lightness of Haudrey Hepburn, who has contributed a lot to the myth of Tiffany. But in reality the Masterpieces, which have noble origins in the archives of New York of the Maison, often follow individual streets, lonely, by piece out of the ordinary, as it must be a masterpiece.

Tiffany & Co. don’t goes retire. Or, rather, it decided to interpret even in a silver, the jewelry collection Out of Retirement (we talked about here). The Tiffany models, in fact, are never withdrawn, ie removed from the catalog, but are kept in the archives, ready to return to the market even after a period of deserved rest. As it happens now with these jewels originally made of gold and are now replicated in silver, at a more affordable price. The jewels of the collection Out of Retirement form part of the Tiffany archives. “I really love the idea of ​​the collection Out of Retirement” is the comment by Francesca Amfitheatrof, design director of Tiffany & Co. “Modernity and the beauty of the materials have always been the essence of Tiffany and these pieces are still absolutely contemporary, as were when they were created for the first time. They are full of charm and spirit that have always been part of the brand’s DNA. ” The jewels of the collection presented Out of Retirement silver rings are three-sculpture and a bracelet, all based on designs found in the Tiffany archives. The Block Ring is inspired by a ring present in the Blue Book of 1973, Pyramid Ring, instead recalls ancient architecture and was present in the Blue Book of 1971, as the Rectangle Ring is made of a drawing of 1971, while Interlocking Bangle, in silver and rosewood, is proposed by a drawing of 1975.

Tiffany, masterpieces all-round

Tiffany Masterpieces 2016: jewels ball-shaped, very colorful.
Tiffany Masterpieces 2016: creative director of American Maison, Francesca Amfitheatrof, played another wild card, extracted from the traditions archive. This time it was inspired by Louis Comfort Tiffany, artist and American designer, famous for his creations in the Art Nouveau style, made with glass mosaics and pond. It is the famous Tiffany glass. Not only: Louis Comfort Tiffany was also a painter and creator of jewelry and furniture. He was the first design director of the Maison, the same post occupied by Francesca Amfitheatrof, and he had a particular skill in choosing the mix of light and colors. The glasses of lamps rounded Tiffany give off colored flares. Just like the jewelry line now proposed by the New York brand, made with garnets, sapphires and diamonds to create rings and pendants that reflect the colors of the stones. They are all very heated tones: blue, pink, orange, green, even more vivid thanks to the reflections of small diamonds that increase the brightness. Probably they would have the approval of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Giulia Netrese

New T for Tiffany

/

Back to Tiffany T. The collection, launched last year (you can find the article here) is enriched with new pieces. La Maison in New York is fully active, also to balance the first quarter than brilliant from the point of view of sales. And here, then, that Tiffany proposes the continuation of the theme, after the rigid bracelets with two simple T and, more generally, across the board promoted by creative director Francesca Amfitheatrof, it’s liked a lot. Customers Tiffany, it seems, have spent a lot more for the T Collection for any other fashion collection ever made in the past. And here, then, new variants with four rings and a bracelet baptized T Wrap. The jewelry is made of silver, or pink or yellow gold, with a version that also contains diamonds wrap around the fingers or wrist in a simple, no frills. Nothing essentially new, in fact, but nothing is better than to please customers. Margherita Donato

Tiffany Masterpieces

/

We anticipated new pieces by Tiffany (https://gioiellis.com/tiffany-autunno-2015) presented in July. Francesca Amfitheatrof, creative director of the American brand has also decided to propose the Masterpieces collection in flagship store on the Champs-Elysees. Unlike collections Blue Book, which annually gather jewelry with different styles, the Masterpieces of Tiffany are characterized by a own geometric precision. A style that can not be confused, very sculptural defines Amfitheatrof. This result was achieved with the analysis of the archives of Tiffany, who collect 178 years of designs. The synthesis is transformed into these Masterpieces classic flavor, but with a modern twist. Luxury, beauty, geometry: gold and diamonds, including references to the years from thirty to sixty and innovations, as for the pendant with an asymmetrical design. There is a hint of Art Deco, but also the atmosphere of the films with Clark Gable. And very New York style, with echoes of life that characterizes Manhattan. So, where are the origins of Tiffany.

(Italiano) La T di Tiffany è un successo

C’è chi dice che i loghi nella moda non sono più di moda, eppure Tiffany & Co con il lancio della nuova linea T Collections dimostra il contrario. Lo dicono i numeri dell’ultimo bilancio presentato dalla multinazionale americana, come spiega bene l’analisi di Jenni Avins in un articolo scritto per Quartz, il giornale digitale di notizie economiche del gruppo Atlantic Media (http://qz.com/414624/tiffanys-has-found-the-way-to-sell-logo-emblazoned-jewelry-quietly/). Non che prima dell’avvento del nuovo direttore creativo Francesca Amfitheatrof le vendite andassero male, ma i gioielli di fascia prezzo più bassa, al di sotto dei 500 dollari, non facevano certo i grandi fatturati degli anni passati, afflitti anche da un dollaro troppo forte. Alla manager stilista il compito di introdurre delle novità per invertire la tendenza negativa. E così è stato: i nuovi bracciali rigidi con due semplici T e più in generale tutta la linea sono piaciuti e parecchio, poiché i clienti di Tiffany stanno spendendo molto di più per la T Collection che per qualsiasi altra collezione fashion mai realizzata in passato secondo quanto ha affermato Mark Aaron, responsabile investor relations della società, in una dichiarazione raccolta dalla giornalista Jenni Avins. Che rileva come la peculiarità questo successo stia in un design molto discreto, a volte a un punto tale da non essere nemmeno riconoscibile come marchio, per esempio nelle collane e nei bracciali a catena con le maglie formate da sottili T difficilmente individuabili da un occhio inesperto. Insomma, una mossa audace che ha dato i suoi frutti. E che, aggiungiamo noi di Gioiellis, è stata fortemente sostenuta e lo è ancora da una campagna pubblicitaria imponente su tutti i possibili mezzi di comunicazione a livello globale, dalla stampa alle affissioni alla tv e su tutti i social media, sfruttando al massimo le possibilità di coinvolgimento offerte dalla tecnologia.

It would be nice if to explain to the client the details of a special jewel was the designer who conceived it. And it is what has happened at Tiffany‘s, where Francesca Amfitheatrof met Reese Witherspoon, customer and ambassador of the brand in New York. The meeting has also become a video, you can see on this page. The chat between the designer director and the actress happened to Workshop Tiffany, the famous flagship store on Fifth Avenue. At the center of the talk was the creative process, style jewelry and what inspires women. About the ambassadors: Reese Witherspoon and Amanda Seyfried wore jewelry Tiffany & Co. at the Met Gala 2015. Giulia Netrese

(Italiano) Tiffany, Blue Book 2015 sempre più blu

Dopo le foto delle celeb al party di Tiffany alla presentazione della Blue Book Collection, ecco le immagini dei gioielli. Due li avete già visti indossati da Cate Blanchett e Rose Whiterspoon alla premiazione degli Academy Awards (https://gioiellis.com/gioielli-da-oscar/9), ma si trattava solo di un assaggio del meglio del meglio dell’alta gioielleria prodotta dal colosso americano. Che, come ogni anno, lascia senza fiato per la bellezza. L’edizione 2015 in particolare colpisce per la capacità di ricreare, in alcuni gioielli, il senso del mare, la sua energia e il suo movimento con pietre dai colori liquidi e disegni fluttuanti. Infatti, il tema per la prima collezione disegnata da Francesca Amfitheatrof è The Art of the Sea (l’arte del mare), interpretato nel rispetto della tradizione della casa e uno sguardo verso il futuro, come gli anelli Pebble. Alcuni pezzi sono inspirati a disegni orientaleggianti presi dell’archivio di Tiffany, per esempio il bracciale con vortici tempestati di diamanti incolori degradè che ricordano le onde delle stampe del noto artista giapponese Hokusai. Una rubellite da 32 carati, della rara varietà color lampone, si appoggia su un mare di coralli fatti di zaffiri rosa e diamanti. Ancora diamanti incolori taglio brillante e baguette formano tanti cerchi concentrici come le conchiglie dei ricci di mare e si ripetono nella collana, e negli orecchini in platino e zaffiri. E poi le perle South Sea e Thaiti, le increspature in zaffiri di tutte le sfumature del blu e una crisocolla cabochon che sembra uno specchio d’acqua verde dei Caraibi. Non potevano mancare i classici anelli di fidanzamento con diamanti fancy blu e verdi. La collezione, che testimonia il sostegno della Fondazione Tiffany & Co. alla conservazione del corallo e il suo impegno per l’utilizzo di diamanti e metalli preziosi etici, conta circa 200 pezzi unici con un prezzo che parte dai 100 mila fino ai 6 milioni di dollari.
