Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk & Couture
Book Launch at Colette
Saturday March 6th, 4pm – 6pm

To mark the launch of Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture, author Maia Adams will be signing copies of her new book at Colette during Paris Fashion Week. To accompany this event, there will be an exhibition of one-off jewellery pieces specially created for Colette by the jewellers featured in the book.

Colette will be the exclusive stockists of Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture until the book’s international release on March 22nd. This event is therefore an opportunity to see and own it before anyone else!

As the first book to explore this exciting field, Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture contains in-depth profiles of 33 international jewellers, as well as details of their collaborations with leading fashion designers including Comme des Garçons, Vivienne Westwood, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen.

Packed with original interviews, the book also features specially commissioned photos and never-seen-before sketches from the likes of Jordan Askill, Alexis Bittar, Erickson Beamon, Judy Blame, Bless, Lara Bohinc, Natalia Brilli, Delfina Delttrez, Florian, Husam el Odeh and Scott Wilson to name a few…

Colette and Maia have co-invited a selection of the jewellers featured in Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk and Couture to each create a single piece of jewellery to be displayed, and sold, at Colette. If you’ve ever wanted to own a truly unique piece of jewellery, this is your opportunity to get your hands on a one-off work by some of the most creative designers working today.

This is the story. When we fall back into childhood everything comes out, remembrance materializes and takes the rooted shape of symbols equally superficial and important for the future. Yazbukey’s enchanted roundabout has taken in its memory the souvenir of a Paris when her father ambassador took along mother and daughters in the capital of pleasure and luxury. It’s a stopover to Paris, in a fantasy city with the sweetened colors of An American in Paris by Vincente Minnelli. A 3D postcard of the life of a little girl with great big souvenirs! And everything is mixed ! Here’s the list: Daddy’s diplomatic pouch, chocolate chunks crunched during a picnic in Vincennes, soap bubbles in the golden bath of a four star hotel, Vogue magazine laid on the pale pink tweed divan, stamps-Ah! Not to forget, letters to send to granny. The wonderful moments when the parents were receiving guests at the Turkish Embassy, the champagne flutes, the cigars brought back from a trip in Cuba, a fashion face, Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel’s 80’s period etc. Clichéd images of a reception of “Monsieur l’Ambassadeur ». An advertisement that entertained the little girls: Ferrero Rocher. In that golden descent towards childhood, real-life truth can merge into a distorted time-line to embellish the elusiveness of a given moment. Never mind. Just like the Plexiglas jewelry which diffuses the fragrances of a past happiness. But the souvenir box is reopened. Yazbukey’s creations haven’t forgotten anything of that life. Stardust memories.

Based in Paris, Cédric Rivrain works within the fashion world as illustrator and designer since the age of 18. These collaborations include magazines such as Tokion, Numéro, and A magazine; drawing for fashion designers such as Yazbukey, John Galliano, and Martine Sitbon, and exhibiting in notable spaces such as Le Bon Marche, Maria Luisa, and Christie’s.
Born in 1977, the son of a doctor, Rivrain grew up in a medical environment, surrounded by bandages and the study of the human body. Anatomy has held a constant place in his life, and consequently and consistenly influences his work. The drawings exhibited here are personal. Devoid of any commercial or professional constraints. They are his free hand, his personal world, and his escape from his daily tasks. Yet even when Cedric attempts to distance himself from fashion with bandages and dissection, what he illustrates best, and what is constantly present is beauty. This personal work is not anti-fashion, but the radical difference between these drawings and those “on command,” is that these may reach deeper into what attracted this human being to the industry in the first place.
