Louis Vuitton welcomes their first men’s fine jewelry collection, ‘Les Gaston Vuitton’, to the fine jewelry world. Designed by Francesca Amfitheatrof, Artistic Director for Watches and Jewelry at Louis Vuitton, the inaugural collection takes great inspiration from Gaston Louis Vuitton, the grandson of Louis Vuitton, acting as a historical representation of the modern man and woman, multi-faceted with rich histories. The collection embraces the creative, the innovative, and the curious.
The collection, which is the first of its kind, is explored through 16 pieces and 2 masterpieces– rings, pendants, necklaces, tags, gourmettes, bracelets, and earrings incorporating the Louis Vuitton Monogram and trunk ethos in new and contemporary ways. Maintaining inspirations from Louis Vuitton’s heritage, the maison elevates traditions and emphasizes craftsmanship and savoir-faire. The iconic Louis Vuitton trunk, for example, is reimagined in its smallest form; studs, bracelets, necklaces, and pendants emblazoned with diamonds and cast in white gold are engraved with refined iconic forms and reinterpret the trunk.
Other pieces pay homage to the monogram symbols, a sure nod to Louis Vuitton’s strong heritage, in easy-to-wear tags and gourmettes. The contemporary and innovative relocation of enduring designs onto new forms shows a playful side of the brand and invites endless reinvention. The collection also features a new denim-inspired blue titanium called ‘Les Gaston Blue’. The color, which was developed using titanium to boost light and strong properties, is inspired by the eternal blue denim. Paired with white gold and yellow gold, the new blue becomes a versatile universal staple befit for any man or woman– yes, women too!
