Hermès High Jewelry ‘Les Jeux de L’ombre’ Campaign by Elizaveta Porodina

Daily Excerpts New Posts

Creative Director of Hermès Jewelry Pierre Hardy discusses House’s latest high jewelry collection ‘Les Jeux de L’ombre’, created by Hardy to give “form to the elusive”. It relates the movement of shadow and its relationship with light, and the contrasts that connect them..

Such a cerebral concept requires an equally conceptual photographer with an inner vision and signature technique to translate Hardy’s splendid jewelry pieces beyond their origins in a study of Caravaggio’s painting techniques and his chiaroscuros.

Elizaveta Porodina [IG] quickly emerged as the perfect photographer to create a totally-modern, 21st century visual dialogue around the new collection, modeled by Alyda Grace. Victoire Simonney styled the Hermes ad campaign with set design by Sophear Van Froment.

The winning backdrop in most of these images is a cream, mushroom, ivory or similar neutral-colors, luxe-yarns summer sweater — preferably sustainable from a brand like Loro Piana.

Models Lala Olsson and Lary Muller are lensed by Henrik Purienne in soft-lens, soothing images that assure us nary one eyebrow will be raised in the best country clubs — if you have the quiet moxie to take the plunge.

Louis Vuitton will unveil its largest high jewelry collection to date in Marrakech on July 4. Two-time Oscar winning actor Cate Blanchett will reveal the jewels July 4 in Marrakech, as the newest Louis Vuitton ambassador.

These images of Bulgari’s Eden The Garden of Wonders Collection are just fabulous. We’ve looked everywhere for the artistic credits, including a painful 15 minutes on Twitter. Our credits tank is empty.

Being buried in repose among the blooms — like human butterflies — is the best place for Bulgari high jewelry models and ambassadors in this moment.

Top model Felice Nova Noordhoff is styled by Gro Curtis in jewelry from the Cartier Agrafe Collection. If jewelry can be sultry, V Magazine 136 writes that these ‘Gold Rush’ images by Marcus Ohlsson [IG] turn up the heat.

Top model Edie Campbell stars in Tiffany & Co’s A Mesmerizing Garden Botanica Blue Book 2022’, an extravagant and enticing invitation into the world of the best diamonds and colored gemstones available to monied and discrimination buyers of the world’s finest high jewelry.

Orchids and dandelions, wisterias and thistles and more of nature’s fauna and flora reappear as inspired, transformable jewels in the style of Tiffany & Co.’s beloved Jean Schlumberger.

Elsa Hosk stuns in pink passion Valentino elegance and Messika precious-jewels glamour, photographed in the south of France by Derek Kettela as ‘Messika Rocks Cannes’.

Elizaveta Porodina is among a select group of photographers who have dominated spring editorial and campaigns. The trained clinical psychologist turned photographer focuses on model Maaike Klaasen in ‘Rebel, Rebel’.

High jewelry fashion stories tend to be staid — especially at the high-luxury level. Porodina breathes some irreverence into images styled by Elin Svahn, with creative direction by Jacob K for D Repubblica Magazine April 2022./ Hair by Olivier Schawalder; makeup by Cecile Paravina
