Conie Vallese in Cartier's Nature Sauvage Collection by Xavi Gordo for Bazaar Espana AOC Fashion

The allure of Conie Vallese [IG] [Buenos Aires, 1986] is both compelling and rare. AOC has never heard the artist speak live, but her clarity in both art and life evokes admiration always and a small amount of envy whenever I write about her.

Writer Celia Cuervo expresses a common public perception about Conie Vallese. Whether dressed casually in a T-shirt and jeans or elegantly in a Celine pompom dress paired with Cartier High Jewelry earrings — as seen in this photoshoot styled by Claudia Laukamp for the October 2024 issue of Bazaar Espana — Vallese radiates the same genuine aura.

When one is adorned with key pieces from Cartier’s Nature Sauvage collection, it makes perfect sense that they remain under guard and close to Vienna.

From serpentine forms coiling with primal elegance to verdant foliage encrusted in dazzling jewels, the collection celebrates the intricate beauty of nature's creations. By doing so, it invites Nature Sauvage wearers to experience a deeper connection with the earth's wild and timelessly beautiful landscapes.

Finding deep satisfaction in the journey of research and embracing the unknown, Conie Vallese is comfortable in unique and even challenging venues worldwide. The artist herself is comfortable taking walks on the wild side.

Her world view and highest-bar artistic accomplishments make Vallese a perfect match for Cartier.
