  • Bulgari Ambassador Priyanka Chopra at the Premiere of Amazon TV Series Citadel in London

    Bulgari just opened new Hotel in Tokyo and unveils Bulgari Serpenti 75 years of Infinite Tales campaign Bulgari Serpenti 75years of Infinite Tales campaign Having made its way into history as the icon of endless metamorphosis, itsappeal remains unchanged through each creative transformation, alwaysfaithful to its original essence.Transcending time, space and creativity, the tale of Bulgari’s Serpenti began inthe late ‘40s in the worlds of Watches and Jewellery, later expanding into theuniverse of Leather Goods. Over the decades, the icon successfully interpretedthe spirit of every age, becoming a symbol of female empowerment fromgeneration to generation.As a fascinating emblem rich in cultural connotations, it also reached theworld of art, an inexhaustible source of inspiration and a field of creativeexperimentation for Bulgari. The encounter of the snake and art gave birthto extraordinary synergies, such as the Serpenti by Refik Anadol exhibition,which will continue its journey at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museumin Madrid, in February 2023. In the wake of this mutual creative exchange, anew series of collaborations between Bulgari and some visionary artists ofour century will be unveiled within the framework of the 75th Anniversarycelebrations. “For 75 years Bulgari has shown its audacious creativity, ingenious craftsmanship and modern spirit through its emblematic Serpenti creations inspired by the jewels of Cleopatra, in a Rome of more than 2000 yearsago. They convey endless tales, artistry and empowerment. It expanded theboundaries of jewellery, reflecting the spirit of confident women and enteringthe world of art through exciting creative collaborations. It was and is the ultimate Bulgari icon of endless metamorphosis.” - Commented Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of the Bulgari As a celebratory year, 2023 will write an exciting new chapter in a storyof ongoing change, where inspiration turns into art and legacy into future.A story without an end, only perpetual transformation. This is the infinite taleof Serpenti. FROM MyTH TO ICON The legend of Serpenti begins long before the mythical animal entered theprestigious realm of jewellery.deeply rooted in the history of humanity, thesnake captured the imagination from East to West and through the millennia.In Greek and Roman mythology, it was believed to possess transformativeand regenerative powers for its ability to shed its skin. This universal energy inconstant renewal was symbolically represented by the ouroboros, the symbolfor a snake biting its tail to form an infinite circle without beginning or end.Its ever-shifting nature and eternal spirit have been a leitmotif of Bulgari’ssnake icon since its earliest origins in 1948, when the first Serpenti creationsmade their debut as jewellery-watches to be wrapped around the wrist. At thattime Serpenti was more stylised: its linked body was crafted employing theingenious Tubogas technique, coupling masterful goldsmithing with the innatesuppleness of the icon. The industrial-inspired flexible tubular band of preciousmetal, obtained without soldering, was an expression of Bulgari’s spirit ofinnovation and therefore naturally suited to Serpenti’s future-oriented identity. In the 50s, the Bulgari serpent began to move towards a more figurative style,with a precious head embellished with ruby, emerald or diamond eyes. Thiswas an evolution that culminated in the 60s when the snake’s livery turned intoa canvas for creative experimentation and its alluring scales were articulatedwith the help of gemstones and coloured enamels. It was in these inventiveyears that the Maison created the first Serpenti secret jewellery-watches,featuring a dial concealed by the head.The striking colour combinations and unconventional materials introduced inthose years were emblematic of Bulgari’s legendary style, while the masterfullyhand-applied enamels and gemstones, as well as the flexible tubular scales,inventively connected to a supple inner core, proved how Serpenti’s evolutionwas deeply intertwined with Bulgari’s unique artistry as a master jeweller. Evolving from one mesmerizing form to the next, the serpent has alsooffered stunning interpretations of its hexagonal scale motif, various levels ofpreciousness and unique combinations of exquisite gems, captivating designand creative craftsmanship.From heritage pieces to the sleek, ultra-contemporary, stylized Serpentiviper weknow today, the icon remains forever an emblem of audacious transformations– always ready to reveal a new move or to take a hypnotic new form. Reinterpreting Serpenti sign over and over without changing its identity is aninspiring challenge.” said Lucia Silvestri, Bulgari’s Jewellery Creative director. It is this perfect balance between its heritage and creativity evolution that hasmade the icon truly timeless and always in step with the times. The journey through 75 years of style, creativity and captivating metamorphosis,the Bulgari Serpenti 75years of Infinite Tales campaign showcases the unstoppable evolution of the icon through an entrancing story reel. In a timelinespanning from the first Serpenti secret- watches and colourful creations of the60’s to today’s cutting-edgeviper renditions, the campaign illustrates the ideaof metamorphosis behind each Serpenti iteration.Intertwined with the feminine universe like no other icon, the Bulgari serpentis captured by the lenses of Scandebergs photography duo, as it sinuouslycoils around women of different eras, wrapping around their skin until theybecome one. A stylistic metamorphosis, it represents the evolution of womenand their self-determination. In an enthralling play of sinuous lines and sensualmoves, the evocative aesthetics of the campaign conjure the supple body ofBulgari’s Serpenti creations in every detail, from the feminine silhouettes to thecharming ways the jewels are worn. As the jeweller of extraordinary women, Bulgari has always drawn inspirationfrom the charisma of its muses, crafting empowering pieces that celebrate anexpressive personality and audacious mindset. In the last 75 years, womenhave affirmed the right to be independent, cultivate their talents, pursue theirdreams and live a life in line with their desires. From the red carpet to the office,Serpenti has been their faithful ally, evolving side by side with charismaticwomen who own their magnetic charm.Acclaimed by style legenddianavreeland as well as by Hollywood starElizabeth Taylor, the Bulgari serpent has seduced some of the world’s mostfamous icons of all times, from Marisa Berenson to Charlize Theron, Aliciavikander, Naomi Campbell and Zendaya, in a perpetual movement towardsthe future.

Now Dior presents modern Western style paired with French chic at the Salone del Mobile 2023 in Milan, Dior Maison and Philippe Starck continue their collaboration and unveil the Monsieur Dior armchair. DIOR BY STARCK For the Salone del Mobile 2023 in Milan, Dior Maison and Philippe Starck continue their collaboration and unveil the Monsieur Dior armchair, a tribute to the emblematic figure of the couturier. “After Miss Dior, unveiled in 2022 – the chair inspired by the iconic Medallion – it was natural to expand the family with Monsieur Dior, this new armchair,” comments Philippe Starck. Symbols of supreme savoir-faire combined with the most advanced technologies, these exceptional pieces are revealed in different materials and colors (polished or lacquered aluminum, ecru bouclé fabric and pink, black or fluorescent orange toile de Jouy), and are surrounded by the most comprehensive collection of furniture ever created for the House. An exclusive dialogue between Dior and the internationally renowned French creator, to be discovered from April 18 to 23, 2023 in the heart of Palazzo Citterio in Milan. “With Christian Dior, there is this perfect balance, both firm and subtle, between masculinity and femininity, which seems to be the secret of the longevity and importance of his work. That is how I see Monsieur Dior, and that is how I wanted to conceive this collection, which is ultra-technological and entirely graceful. We have once again transcended the boundaries of excellence at the convergence of craftsmanship –that virtuoso poetry of the hand – and the most advanced new techniques” Philippe Starck For the Salone del Mobile 2023 in Milan, Dior Maison and Philippe Starck pursue their collaboration with a complete collection of timeless, elegant furniture, including the Monsieur Dior armchair. The internationally renowned designer, known for his visionary, poetic objects and places, continues to reinvent the iconic Medallion chair. A major source of inspiration, a homage to the emblematic figure of Monsieur Dior. This new chapter embodies the essence of couture, “its gracefulness, and the way it falls,” in the words of Philippe Starck, recalling those of Christian Dior*. A striking celebration of heritage, reflecting the ambition of the famous French creator to reveal “the life that is in everything”. “After Miss Dior**, it was natural to expand the family. The duo of creations, the Miss Dior Sweet chair and the Monsieur Dior armchair, are perfectly balanced through these essential, existential notions of gravity and lightness, of yin and yang. Miss Dior and Monsieur Dior, Catherine and Christian Dior, the sister and the brother, the chair and the armchair, is the story of a sublime complementary duality,” comments Starck. Available in a range of materials and colors (polished or lacquered aluminum, ecru bouclé fabric and pink,black or fluorescent orange toile de Jouy), these exceptional pieces, made in Italy, reflect the virtuosity of the hand and the most demanding innovation. They are accompanied by“little brothers and sisters, such as various tables of different sizes, and stools, all of which are extremely elegant”. Expressions of excellent savoir-faire and perfect harmony, the curves of these models have been drawn to achieve a timeless quintessence. Driven by a “passion for the minimum”, Philippe Starck has refined thestructure of the seat to the extreme, seeking the absolute finesse of its silhouette, further emphasized bythe simplicity of aluminum, the nobility and durability of which he values.“Aluminum is the point zero from which everything is built, the idea of intelligence and purity of technology. The object as it is in its origin,its essence, without any dross.”* ̋The architecture of a dress isn’t an empty term. A dress is constructed and it is constructed according to the direction of the fabrics, this is the secret of sewing and it is a secret that depends on the first architectural law: that of obedience to gravity.The way a fabric falls – and the line, the balance of a dress result from this fall – is a function of the direction of the fabric. ̋(Christian Dior, Conference at the Sorbonne, 1955)** Chair conceived during the first collaboration between Philippe Starck and the House of Dior in 2022. Elevated to the status of works of art, these unique pieces, at once exquisitely sophisticated andultra-modern, can be discovered from April 18 to 23 in Palazzo Citterio, a sumptuous 18th-century edifice located in the heart of the Italian city.
