It’s called Acte V / The Escape, and is the sixth collection of fine jewelry signed Louis Vuitton. It consists of 50 unique pieces, widely uses the stone of the year, opal blue sea, but also pearls and precious stones meticulously selected. The style takes a little ‘the Art Deco, but revisited. And the revival is also to remember the touristic sites in vogue in the past (and that continue to be trendy), as Beau Rivage, Newport, Luxor, Excelsior and Capri. Seem to see the labels of hotels glued on leather suitcases, the lucky travelers of Thirties, suites of the hotel … Well, high jewelry is yet evocative of a lifestyle. At the same time, the collection reflects the modern geometries of those who wanted to leave behind the nineteenth century and look to technological progress. The jewelry inspired by Luxor, for example, has embedded the letter V through the lotus flower, ie geometry and exoticism, popular during the Art Deco also thanks to the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1922. The suite dedicated to Capri, however, has a color iridescent blue reminiscent of the sea, obtained with Australian opals, next to the foam of the waves made with a small cascade of diamonds.
