Bella Hadid Returns to Swarovski Holiday Campaign After Speaking Against Antisemitism
/
Without naming her client, Bella did ruminate in a recent interview on the contained backlash she received this year about her new role as the Swarovski ambassador.
Bella’s pro-Palestinian, perceived as anti-Israeli posts on IG, created pushback by some Israeli jewelry stores and dealers against Swarovski.
Last week, Bella Hadid did not specifically call out Kanye West, but she noted on Instagram that it would be a “disservice” to herself and her loved ones if she did not “speak up.” She went on to specifically condemn antisemitism and the “things” that have been shared about it recently on “public platforms”.
“To allow any form of antisemitism to slip by, as desensitized as the world has become, it would be a disservice to my friends, the families I have grown up with, the people I love and work with, myself, and even the Palestinian cause as a whole,” she wrote.
She then emphasised that her Palestinian community does not stand for “hatred or violence,” adding that anti-Semitic social media posts “will never be okay”.

/
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have done more to educate the world about fancy diamonds than any two people alive.
Neither of their engagement rings was purchased at Astteria, headquartered in London, but they could have been.
Perhaps it’s because I devoted 30 minutes listening to Mr. Hadary’s podcast with Paul Zimnisky [scroll to bottom of page] that I have a sense of his personality.
He is absolutely an ambitious, very intelligent, savvy businessman. But there is also a warmth to his personality that inspires engagement and trust. He’s a human you want to know — an asset to the planet.

/
Totally intrigued with fabulousness but also wondering just how Schiaparelli’s creative director Daniel Roseberry could keep the magic moving, there is deep appreciation this evening for the Schiaparelli Spring Summer 2023 ready-to-wear collection. It is drop-dead distinctive, arty sophistication fit for alluring, drama-loving, statement-making women with confidence, super smarts and backbone.
Did we say timeless without being boring? Surreally understated? A celebration of the human form?
“The past three years we’ve been building this reputation, this language through the couture and the red carpet,” the designer said about his time at Schiaparelli. “The next three will be about building the business side of it too.”

It’s good business because every day more women — including wealthy women — understand that we are in the fight of our lives.

/
In the campaign marketing text, Graff made a word salad describing Night Moon, Graff Gateway and New Dawn groups in the collection in this way:
“From a poetic spark of inspiration to a magnificent collection of jewels that speak to the soul about the eternal beauty of nature, the Tribal collection captures the essence of what it is to be human.”
These words perhaps better describe modern life in South Africa’s Atlantis Dunes, where extreme adventure sports including sandboarding define the landscape. Had Graff wanted to speak to the Tribal collection’s capturing the essence of what it is to be human”, the campaign would have been shot 15 hours away by car in at the Sterkfontein Caves, at a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the Cradle of Humankind.

Hermès High Jewelry ‘Les Jeux de L’ombre’ Campaign by Elizaveta Porodina
/
Creative Director of Hermès Jewelry Pierre Hardy discusses House’s latest high jewelry collection ‘Les Jeux de L’ombre’, created by Hardy to give “form to the elusive”. It relates the movement of shadow and its relationship with light, and the contrasts that connect them..
Such a cerebral concept requires an equally conceptual photographer with an inner vision and signature technique to translate Hardy’s splendid jewelry pieces beyond their origins in a study of Caravaggio’s painting techniques and his chiaroscuros.
Elizaveta Porodina [IG] quickly emerged as the perfect photographer to create a totally-modern, 21st century visual dialogue around the new collection, modeled by Alyda Grace. Victoire Simonney styled the Hermes ad campaign with set design by Sophear Van Froment.

If you fancy Graff High Jewelry will ball gowns and not a summer cashmere sweater, WSJ Magazine says “think outside of your self-imposed, where to wear high jewelry rules.” AOC believes that finding the right pairing is crucial or you will look like you are auditioning for a rerun of ‘Dallas’. No offense, Dame Joan Collins.
The winning backdrop in most of these images is a cream, mushroom, ivory or similar neutral-colors, luxe-yarns summer sweater — preferably sustainable from a brand like Loro Piana.
Models Lala Olsson and Lary Muller are lensed by Henrik Purienne in soft-lens, soothing images that assure us nary one eyebrow will be raised in the best country clubs — if you have the quiet moxie to take the plunge.
