[lordevan]

above is like totally different

 

[Diorling]

^ Theyre the same shape.

 

[GalleriaResident]

What its the name of the watered down version? I cant see the pictures, Hold on are they the same ones Brook Hogan has on in her music video?

 

[Diorling]

^ Brooke has some sh*tty sunglasses she got at kmart, along w/ her hair.

Theyre called the...Escrime

 

[Alejandro]

those sunglasses were used on the iD magazine cover from months ago.

as for the necklace, yes that's just runway, I was wishing they did something similar for the boutiques, but judging by the past, they'll come up with some ugly stupid sh*t.

I'll probably make my own.

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

yeah, i love the sunglasses too. I think Elle used them in the August-number...

 

[belletrist]

That necklace gives me nightmares

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

I guess it good for selfdefense though..

 

[Blodeuwedd]

so I called my usual Dior Homme SA, he said the necklass was never ordered for the US store, due to safety reasons with ppl possibly stabbing themselves. It's only for Paris. Anyone want to check out the main store for me?

So he's saying American's are clumsy walkers but Parisians arent? Hmph!
Upon looking on eBay theyre are similar crosses, but not as flashy or as large.

 

[lordevan]

can u link me similar crosses on ebay?

 

[kellyisazebra]

I've seen it & love it. However I wouldn't buy it, since it's probably super expensive.

 

[lordevan]

kellyisazebra did u actually see it for sale in a dior store?

 

[Alejandro]

So he's saying American's are clumsy walkers but Parisians arent? Hmph!

huh? that's stupid.

at the same time i see their point, "hipster kid in new york gets stabbed by a cokehead hipster; the weapon, a Dior cross necklace "

i see it.

 

[Blodeuwedd]

Instead a 'crime of passion' would it be a 'crime of fashion' ?

Lordevan- Not even near the original, but this is as close as it gets on ebay
290073145539
120074145773
real nails, not jewerly:
110079593872
150081380498

My S.O. really wants to call Paris and have one ordered, but I can't speak French. Could someone call and find out if they have it for sale and for how much?

[Dkammern]

^^if you enter the spanish site, there's the same thing going on in Madrid's flagship, not just Place Vendome in Paris... couldnt find it for the USA and UK though...

 

[Diorette]

Thanks borjacapella.

 

[miaou]

Would love to have a cartier solitaire, but I think this would do for now

- You've once said you "created jewelry with a child’s eye". What did you wanted to be when you were growing up? Do you remember the first jewel you created?
I always wanted to be a jeweler designer. I started to create very young. Of course, my first creation is a key moment in my life. I was creating jewels for myself since the age of 5 (my mother offered me a charm bracelet I dismantled to create my own pair of earrings and at the age of 13 I melted my religious medals to create a huge ring).
- What is the threshold between jewelry as something wearable and jewelry as art? Which sort do you make – wearable or arts?
A mix of the two! I create artistic jewelry which can be wearable every day at every hour.
- How does your creative process works?
For the fine and the high jewellery’s collections, I have the picture of the jewel I want to create in mind. I always start with a quick sketch on a post-it. Then I explain to my drawers precisely what I’m expecting for. They make some “dessins techniques” and then send them to our Parisian workshops.
On the contrary, the pieces of “the Coffret de Victoire” do not come first in my mind. I don’t imagine them. I first fall in love with a stone (an opal from Australia, a piece of coral from Italy or huge jade of China) and then I imagine a story around it that will become a jewel.
- What inspires you?
Art, exhibitions, movies, photos in the magazines, nature, women in general, fairytales, the childhood universe: everything! I put all these influences in my “mental shaker” and ideas come out. It’s always the beginning of a collection.
- Your work has a dreamy, literary quality to it. Do you have a favorite poet/writer?
I love fairytales, Walt Disney’s pictures from the 50’s to the 70’s and the Andersen’s tales.
- You worked for 15 years with Karl Lagerfeld. How was your relationship with him?
We have worked together at Chanel; it was a fantastic experience.
- And how is your relationship with John Galliano?
We don’t work together but I think we both have in mind the heritage of monsieur Dior when we create.
I love his sense of extravagance, his crazy point of view about fashion and it is that we have in common because I appreciate these same things when I create my jewels.
- You designed jewels for Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette". How was that experience?
It was a great experience; two working days with all the movie staff. I met Sofia at Chanel when she did a training. She is a very kind person.
- What piece you created would you leave to your children as a family heirloom?
My opals…
