It is on the occasion of the Cannes Film Festival that Chopard‘s Co-President and Artistic Director, Caroline Scheufele unveils her new Red Carpet Collection. Much like a film director, this keen lover of the seventh art has devised an Haute Joaillerie collection freely inspired by films that have had a lasting impact on her and of which the fabled scenes have been inducted into cinema’s hall of fame.
Caroline Scheufele has thus designed 75 Haute Joaillerie creations, dreamed up as an epic saga inspired by the grand adventure of cinema from its early black and white charms to its dizzying contemporary colours. This creative abundance draws on her own repertoire and the magnificent models capture the watershed moment when contemporary cinema was born and began to blossom.
