BULGARI HAUTE JOAILLERIE IN GSTAAD
This was the most exclusive live sketching event of my entire career.
I would have liked to be photographed dressed in an evening gown in the bathtub of the hotel suite with a BULGARI set around my neck. But, considering the standing… I didn’t dare.
When we say “Haute Joaillerie”… There are immediately images that make us… boum…. But in fact, the reality is even more than that.
The embodiment of beauty and craftsmanship, the BULGARI Fine Jewelry collection is a testament to the Roman jeweler’s consuming passion for magnificence, the inspiration and ultimate goal of the entire House. In the workshop in Rome, the House’s master craftsmen bring to life the most complex and innovative designs. The exceptional touch of Bulgari jewelry requires a high level of expertise and a unique know-how, which is very often transmitted from generation to generation. From the first sketch to the polishing, through the selection and setting of the stones, each step requires more than just technical skills: it is the subtle fusion of tradition, innovation and inimitable know-how that produces the most beautiful pieces.
So, to present their collection exclusively to their best clients, BULGARI privatized a part of the Alpina Hotel in Gstaad and invited me to draw their clients live wearing their jewels. And I must admit… I was impressed. Serpenti necklaces dance around the necks of guests, the BULGARI team is extremely dedicated and professional, and Gstaad is a jewel in itself. The portraits were beautiful. For confidentiality reasons I can’t share them here but I can tell you that it was one of the most beautiful moments of my career.
