Haute Couture

We paired high jewellery presented at Paris Couture Week with haute couture from leading luxury brands to create gorgeous looks

Each January and July, the world’s uber-rich and fashionable convene in Paris for the biannual, ultra-luxurious Paris Couture Week. It’s one of the most overloaded times for the city, and taking a car ride from the shopping haven Place Vendome to Grand Palais (where Chanel usually hosts its shows) could easily take 30 minutes or more.

Yet, nothing stops the fashion crowd from visiting the French capital – they’re there to admire the finest in luxury fashion and jewellery, which are simultaneously on show.

We invited model Lauren de Graaf to interpret spring-summer 2020’s new releases in high jewellery – Boucheron, Cartier, Chaumet – as well as haute couture (Fendi, Valentino, Dior and Giambattista Valli). The looks are paired to create a style both divine and devilish.
