Boucheron – Histoire de Style, The Power of Couture Collection
Claire Choisne, Creative Director of Maison Boucheron, has reimagined the couture heritage of Frédéric Boucheron through the innovative use of rock crystal and diamonds. This exquisite transformation has led to the creation of 24 High Jewelry pieces that offer a fresh take on ceremonial ornaments. Boucheron’s deep-rooted history in couture, dating back to Louis Boucheron’s drapery business in the 1800s, serves as the inspiration for this collection. By deconstructing and reinterpreting ceremonial attire, Choisne introduces a bold and sophisticated aesthetic that blends the rigidity of gold and diamonds with the fluidity of couture fabric. The collection showcases the versatility of high jewelry, allowing pieces to be worn in multiple ways and highlighting the artisans’ mastery in transforming materials to mimic the suppleness of silk. Each piece, from the “Médailles” necklace to the “Broderies” earrings, reflects Boucheron’s legacy of elegance and innovation in both jewelry and fashion.
