Louıs Vuıtton Transforms Hıstory ınto Haute Jewelry
Louis Vuitton’s new high jewelry collection, Awakened Hands, Awakened Minds Chapter II, takes us on a trip through 19th-century French craftsmanship. The collection embodies Francesca Amfitheatrof’s ability to interpret 19th-century breakthroughs and bring them to life in a new way. The pieces blend immaculate craftsmanship with innovative design whilst maintaining LV’s timeless elegance.
The collection unveils 7 themes and 50 exceptionally designed pieces. Each one reflects an era of transformation where artisans and scientists at the time pushed boundaries in design and consequently discovered new techniques.
Chapter II introduces a men’s capsule collection that pays homage to its historical inspiration through carefully chosen accessories: an elegant pocket watch, a classic compass, and refined broaches.
The collection’s seven themes pay homage to the savoir-faire craftsmen and their contribution to the development of technique. It reflects the changes of an era that transformed jewels into what they are today.
The first theme, Splendeur, encapsulates the artistry throughout France’s imperial palaces. It reinterprets Louis Vuitton’s Monogram flower. Phenomenal shines a light on the use of bold and geometric to create an LV necklace. Elegance is a white and gold LV Monogram Star cut Diamond headband. Gravité gets its name from how each piece is strategically placed to capture attention. Each piece interacts to create a hypnotic display. Dynamisme showcases this era’s modern collectivism through its design. Vision focuses on bringing to the forefront the essence of luxury to celebrate the legacy of the Maison. Victoire honors France’s most renowned landmark: the Eiffel Tower through a magnificent high-collared necklace.
Overall the collection is a testament to Francesca Amfitheatrof, the Artistic Director for Watches and Jewelry, to not only amazing craftsmanship but also innovating the brand by blending historical elements with contemporary design. Louis Vuitton has once again proven that its pieces are timeless.
