Medals, buttons, embroideries, aiguillettes… Claire Choisne, Creative Director of Maison Boucheron, revisits the couture heritage of Frédéric Boucheron, taking inspiration from ceremonial attire. She takes a new approach to the concept of ceremonial ornaments, metamorphosing them through the ingenious application of rock crystal and diamonds. This precious deconstruction brings to light 24 High Jewelry pieces that open the way to a new vision of couture.
Small round pieces used to fasten clothing. The studio brief: create a set of fifteen buttons in rock crystal. To do this, frost the material by hand using an abrasive powder that whitens the button. Select just the right grain to produce the desired creamy shade. Thanks to an old-fashioned spiral-shaped fastener, coil each button into the hair or onto a garment to adorn a collar or a sleeve.
An ornament consisting of a tied strip of fabric! The studio brief: craft a rock crystal bow that is as supple as a grosgrain ribbon. To do this, cut, sandblast, and then assemble the 435 frosted rock crystal tubes. Refine the white gold framework as much as possible to lighten the piece and guarantee its flexibility as a whole. Create discreet, ingenious fastening mechanisms that allow the bow to be transformed.
