2019/20 JEWELS & TIME 51LOUIS VUITTON
With Francesca Amfi theatrof—
the woman behind Tiffany & Co’s
popular Tiffany T designs—on board
as artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s
watches and jewellery, many are
looking forward to see her apply her
contemporary touch on the French
maison’s most precious creations.
And that is what she gave us in its
latest high jewellery release, Riders of
the Knights. It is a collection that pays
tribute to mediaeval fi gures. While
the unusual theme makes no reference
to modernity, the designer’s signature
aesthetic fi lters through these jewellery
pieces via architectural lines that
channel a restrained form of elegance
and femininity.
