Comprising 18 rings, pendants, necklaces, tags, gourmettes, bracelets and earrings, Les Gastons Vuitton pays tribute to the house icons, the monogram and trunk, in contemporary ways
Drawing inspiration from Gaston-Louis Vuitton, the grandson of monsieur Louis Vuitton, the Maison’s first fine jewellery collection for men embodies the unique personality of the multifaceted man. Aptly named Les Gastons Vuitton, the collection, whilst touted as a men’s line, can be worn by women as well, with Francesca Amfitheatrof, artistic director for Watches and Jewellery, comparing it to “the perfect pair of jeans.”
In designing the collection, Amfitheatrof took cues from the erudite thinker’s individualism and finesse in innovation; the techniques, materials, and moving mechanisms of the collection–all reflect his modernity and freedom.
Explored in three chapters through 16 pieces and 2 masterpieces, rings, pendants, necklaces, tags, gourmettes, bracelets and earrings seamlessly weave the narratives of the monogram and trunk in contemporary expressions.
Leveraging laser cutting technology, the monogram achieves unparalleled precision, offering a fresh and contemporary aesthetic. Simultaneously, the Maison’s iconic trunk motif undergoes a reimagined transformation, emerging in its smallest rendition yet, blending silver and diamonds in innovative forms. Materials such as yellow gold and white gold take centre stage, with the introduction of titanium in a deep hue inspired by denim, adding a new dimension to the collection.
Scheduled for launch on 18 January 2024, Les Gastons Vuitton is the denim of jewellery—effortlessly elegant and versatile, much like Gaston himself.
