Collection

A MINIMALIST SHAPE THAT HAS PROVEN ITS WORTH, A STRICT UNIFORM AND IMPECCABLE MAINTENANCE: THE NEW DOUBLE C DE CARTIER BAG HAS A LONG LIFE AHEAD.

A typically Grande Maison bag, whose jewelled clasp with Cartier’s initials sets the tone: a metal logo enhanced by a delicate touch of lacquer.

 

ORIGINALLY, IT WAS THE SAME INITIAL MULTIPLIED BY TWO, that of a Parisian family name that crossed the borders of France in the beginning of the 20th century, under the leadership of three jeweller brothers and their father.

A C within a C, two stylised letters inscribed as a token of an exceptional tradition, on the red wax that the jeweller used to seal his gift packages. It is now the focus of the metal C bag.

“We sought to modernise the logo by freeing it from the interior oval, where it had previously appeared on the Maison’s bags. We handled it like a piece of jewellery, with particular attention being paid to its unexpected opening. For the first time, its presence is both aesthetic and functional, not to mention the pretty click sound it makes when closed, further enhancing its jewel clasp.

Moreover, the highly structured bag shape is so streamlined that it allows the clasp to shine. The bag is its perfect backdrop. It was designed to be worn two ways: ‘over the shoulder or crossbody’, thanks to its adjustable shoulder strap.” MARIN YUSON, DIRECTOR OF LEATHER AND LEATHER ACCESSORY CREATION

 

NEITHER TOO SMALL NOR TOO BIG, A TRULY URBAN PIECE, THE DOUBLE C BAG IS A TIMELESS CLASSIC IN ANY WARDROBE.

It can be worn over the shoulder or across the body. Always chic, with the right size and right proportions, it structures every look. A question of style and elegance that boils down to the essentials: simple lines, shoulder strap, smooth leather.

 

THE COLLECTION

DEEP BLACK, INTENSE RED, POWDERED PINK, FUCHSIA PINK:

from the most sensible to the most pop colours, the leather of the Metal C bag radiates with just the right amount of shine to spice up the silhouette.

The metal C bag consists of two versions, a large and a small model, available in four colours, which meet the essentials of small leather goods.

ASSOULINE SPRING 2021 LEGENDS COLLECTION
CIPULLO: MAKING JEWELRY MODERN

“For the longest time I have wanted to create a book dedicated to my brother Aldo, to shed light on the scope of his work, and in celebration of his life and the times in which he lived.” – Renato Cipull0

“I design for today, thinking of tomorrow.” – Aldo Cipullo

 

Born in Naples in 1935 to a family of jewelers, Aldo Cipullo became the most glamorous jewelry designer of the 1970s and early ’80s. Aldo left Italy for the exciting possibilities of life in New York City, enrolling at the School of Visual Arts. By 1960 he was working for the acclaimed society jeweler David Webb, who was renowned for producing designs that were bold and expressive, to then joining Tiffany & Co., where he began developing his own design vocabulary.

In 1969 he moved to Cartier alongside the company’s President Michael Thomas, where, at the top of his craft, he introduced some of the most modern and timeless creations, such as the Love bracelet, a seminal design that is fastened to the wearer’s wrist with a special screwdriver. He followed this up in 1971 with the Nail collection, inspired by a nail wrapped around the finger or wrist, a surprising creation that embodied the gritty glamour of New York of the time.

Aldo Cipullo struck out on his own in 1974, continuing to create jewelry for men and women that turned heads, including pieces in the shape of the dollar sign, which he deemed “the electric eye that reflects the mood of this country.” In 1978, the American Gem Society commissioned him to create a collection featuring stones mined in America, such as turquoise from Arizona, diamonds from Arkansas and sapphires from Montana; these pieces are now part of the Smithsonian Institution. Although he sadly passed away suddenly in 1984, Aldo Cipullo’s legacy of forward-thinking yet classic designs remain perennially popular.

This slipcase volume is filled with striking images of Aldo Cipullo’s modern jewelry designs, which are both iconic and universal, intimate yet also intensely personal, contemporary and timeless. Punctuated with Cipullo family photos and fond anecdotes from Aldo’s friends, Cipullo: Making Jewelry Modern unfolds the story of one of the most innovative and, until now, enigmatic talents of modern jewelry history.

Designer Renato Cipullo leads a fine jewelry house based in New York. In addition to his fine jewelry collections, Renato’s creations have been worn by royalty and celebrities, and among an extensive list of private clients globally who regularly commission him for the intricacy of his bespoke designs. He created the Midnight watch in the 1980s, for which he was dubbed the Father of High-Tech Accessories. Carrying on a tradition from generations of jewelers, Renato Cipullo continues to steward the legacy in keeping with the family’s traditions and uncompromising design principles.

Commenting on ‘From Russia With Love’, Founder and Executive Creative Director of Simone Jewels, Simone Ng said, “I have always been absolutely fascinated by the grandeur of Russian and my inspiration for this collection was drawn from the craftmanship and intricacy of the royals’ elaborate pieces.”

She adds “Russian royalties have owned some of the world’s most exquisite jewellery, with Catherine the Great, the Empress of Russia, believing that great jewels were as important as a great army!”

Launched in 2014 Simone’s designs are inspired by history, architecture, culture and each creation made is an heirloom of timeless essence, transformable and transformative.

Jaguar Classic will create six matched pairs of E-types to celebrate the iconic sports car’s 60th anniversary in 2021: the E-type 60 Collection.

Each pair of E-type 60 Edition cars pay tribute to two of the oldest and most famous Jaguar E-types of all: ‘9600 HP’ and ‘77 RW’, which played pivotal roles in the unveiling of the car at its world debut in Geneva, Switzerland in March 1961.

An Opalescent Gunmetal Grey 3.8-litre Fixed-Head Coupe registered ‘9600 HP’ was one of the first two E-types unveiled to specially-invited guests at the Parc des Eaux Vives. Driven ‘flat out’ to Switzerland from Coventry the night before the launch, public relations manager Bob Berry arrived with minutes to spare for demonstration drives.

With an outstanding reaction to the E-type resulting in overwhelming demand for drives with Berry, legendary Jaguar Test and Development Engineer Norman Dewis was told to ‘drop everything’ and drive a British Racing Green 3.8-litre roadster registered ‘77 RW’ overnight from Coventry to Geneva.

Both cars were also used for media road tests, which proved the car’s sensational performance –including its 150mph top speed – matched its jet aircraft-inspired lines honed in a wind tunnel by aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer.

Every E-type 60 Edition built by the team at Jaguar’s Classic Works facility in Warwickshire will be an existing 1960s 3.8-litre E-type fully-restored to exclusive 60th anniversary tribute specification.

Each E-type 60 Collection pair will include one Flat Out Grey ‘9600 HP’ coupe and one Drop Everything Green ‘77 RW’ roadster, with unique paint formulations exclusively reserved for these cars. Each E-type 60 Edition will feature a number of 60th anniversary commemorative design details created in conjunction with Jaguar Design Director Julian Thomson.

Synonymous with the revolutionary zeitgeist of the Swinging Sixties, E-types were owned by celebrities including Steve McQueen, Brigitte Bardot, Frank Sinatra, George Harrison, Tony Curtis and Britt Ekland. And, thanks to the beauty of its sculptural forms, its functionality and its impact on design, an E-type became only the third car to join The Museum of Modern Art’s design collection in 1996.

“The Jaguar E-type is a genuine icon, as sensational today as the moment it was unveiled in 1961. It’s testament to the E-type’s advanced design and engineering that it can still be enjoyed and admired as passionately almost 60 years on. The E-type 60 Collection is a lasting tribute for E-type admirers, honouring the car’s legacy and the achievements of the team that created it – many of whom have descendants working for Jaguar Classic today, expertly restoring, maintaining and future-proofing enjoyment for generations to come.” DANIEL PINK DIREKTOR, JAGUAR CLASSIC

Jaguar Classic is the world’s number one source of genuine parts and owner services for the E-type – from health-checks and sympathetic upgrades to restoring expertly selected examples to ‘Reborn’ specification, meticulously returning them to as-new condition.

Designed for the modern woman with style, the exclusive jewelry of Delfina Delettrez Fendi combines classic pieces with modern design in honor of the newly renovated The St. Regis Rome.

Marriott International‘s St. Regis Hotels & Resorts brand has been working with Delfina Delettrez Fendi, the founder and designer of the Delfina Delettrez brand, since this year. Inspired by the recently completed 40 million renovation of St. Regis Rome, Delettrez presents an exclusive limited collection of three selected gold jewellery pieces: an exquisite open necklace, earrings and a double ring with refined details. The Capsule Collection has been available since mid-June and the pieces cost from 1,050 euros.

Jenni Benzaquen, Vice President Europe for Marriott International‘s luxury brands, said: „Delfina Delettrez has an extraordinary aesthetic sense of how past and present can be linked by combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with her modern, unique style. As part of its collaboration with St. Regis, its Capsule Collection perfectly embodies the recent redesign of St. Regis Rome. Delettrez‘s passion for her native Rome and its everlasting esprit has also been incorporated.“ Delettrez is among Forbes Magazine‘s „30 under 30“ and has been nominated for the „Business of Fashion 500“, a list of people who are changing the international fashion industry. The designer is the fourth generation of the Fendi family and founded her company in 2007. Since the launch of her brand, she has developed a unique aesthetic that combines classic goldsmith techniques with innovative, contemporary materials. The result: modern, futuristic jewellery. A lot of heart and soul goes into every design. The designs are implemented in artistic handwork by masters of their trade.

„Rome is a city where contrasts from the past and the present coexist in a unique and harmonious way,“ explains Delfina Delettrez. „The renovation of St. Regis Rome demonstrates the duality of this city by combining an angular, modern look with historical architecture. To usher in this new era for St. Regis Rome, I wanted to create a classic shape with a new, modern twist. I love the idea that each piece can be worn in two different ways – as an expression of the dual character of the house.“
