The evening opened with a five-star lineup. In the front row were the Maison’s friends and the most prominent personalities of the moment: Cardi B, Natalia Vodianova, Isabelle Adjani, Lucien Laviscount, Future, Nina Dobrev, Cole Sprouse, Balqees Al Fathi, Heidi Klum, MIYEON, and Simon Gong. All gathered alongside Valérie Messika in a setting designed as a true sound box, where the greatest hits of French electro touch played. From Cerrone’s *Supernature* to Daft Punk remixes, this fourth Messika show unfolded at a fast and powerful pace.
Before the show, the charismatic top model Ashley Graham hosted these unique moments, broadcast live on Messika’s social media channels @messika.
For the event, the Artistic Director raised the bar and extended the inspirations of the Midnight Sun collection, with a more vibrant Opus II.
She unveiled 125 new creations, sharp in style. From voluptuous surrounds to bold shapes and stones, gold and diamonds pulsated with intensity through a series of perfectly executed silhouettes. Unrestricted, the Artistic Director played with the unexpected, daring to introduce original pieces: lip jewelry, body belts for men and women, headpieces, and nail jewels.
Valérie Messika revealed a liberated and carefree vision of High Jewelry.
The spectacular highlight came when the Maison unveiled the breathtaking Supernature and Fragments of Time necklaces. Monumental and extraordinary, these two diamond rivers defied all conventions with the incredible carat sizes of their stones, going up to over 36 carats.
Spectacular and hypnotic, Fragments of Time mesmerized the audience as it closed the show around the neck of the iconic Eva Herzigova. For this unprecedented diamond necklace, Valérie Messika dared to pair a stunning 36-carat yellow diamond with an incomparable 33-carat white stone. Two fragments of eternity intricately intertwined in a sensual diamond setting. A dazzling piece, the necklace alone features 232 stones, totaling 129 carats. Phenomenal!
Models and friends of the Maison, like Taylor Hill and Cindy Bruna, paraded around a hypnotic XXL panoramic screen cube. With a subtle nod to the 80s spirit that inspired the show, Paris Jackson, daughter of the King of Pop, instantly drew attention amidst all these enchanting silhouettes. The intense show concluded with an exhilarating final tableau, featuring the stunning Eva Herzigova. Following previous collaborations with Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Carla Bruni, Valérie Messika continues to extend these luminous partnerships with the biggest names in fashion.
Once again, Messika brilliantly blended its inspirations for this moment suspended between fashion and High Jewelry.
