Hermes recently launched a new collection of fine jewellery called Enchainements Libres. The unique launch event took place in Paris. The occasion saw dance performance at La Gaite Lyrique. The performance saw humans (ballerinas) moving slowly and gradually forming links by interlocking arms, probably trying to re-create the charm of links and chains present in the jewellery pieces. The dance was the conceptualisation of Pierre Hardy, the Creative Director of the fine jewellery division, who says, “The chain connects and interconnects opposites, it attaches and liberates.”The spectacular show was presented live during Paris couture week. The show was choreographed by Christian Rizzo. The performers were dressed in black so that the jewels they wore attracted eye balls, which the jewels managed to do successfully.“The whole collection is designed around the body. The chain allowed me to make the link between the cosmetic and the cosmos, words which share the same origin, and which are related to order and harmony,” says Hardy talking about his inspiration as per the Hermes website. He adds, “When you design an item of clothing, the body gives an absolute, pre-established scale, while with jewellery you are free to move from small to large, from single to multiple elements,”“These pieces of jewellery are conceived as extensions of the body. I always seek to understand how they will actually be articulated, how they will flex and move with the body. They reveal gestures, enhance postures. They are objects with a lot of personality, light and radiance,” adds Hardy.Her further says that far from the jewellery of former times, which obstructed movement, these pieces are designed for modern lifestyles. They dance in unison with the bodies that wear them. “I always seek that which will be beautiful, that which will appeal to a woman that which will bring the form to life as strikingly as possible. Beauty is all about impact. I try to find the right balance between the experimental and the fine jeweller’s know-how: une joaillerie de la forme,” concludes Hardy.The collection has one of the iconic jewellery pieces called Chaine d'ancre that has been designed as a chocker with a big chunk of rock crystal.The French high fashion luxury goods manufacturer, Hermes was established in 1837.
