A year and a half after his arrival at Dior, Camille Miceli has appropriated the spirit of the house without losing its spontaneity legendary. Meeting.

You come now to the creation of gemstone jewellery and leather goods. How do you cope with this dual role?
When Delphine Arnault I made this proposal, the challenge interested me because I add strings to my bow. Plus I have different activities, I enjoy myself more. If I assure totally creative direction for the
bridal jewellery, the leather, I play more the role of a consultant or an external designer. I give “input” on the collection, the range of colors and I work very closely with the two people who are looking for materials, what fascinates me because I am very attached to the raw material.

At Louis Vuitton, your work was recognized associations of unexpected materials. What would you bring to the fancy Dior?
When I arrived here, I wanted to break the wrong side rhinestone and metal Body Jewellery. He needed a break with what was done before. I have taken matters which are part of the history of Dior, but in different ways, by diverting them from their traditional use.
For the first couture collection, we used cracked stones, Swarovski crystals in the oven, which had created the veins. It was not a paste but it gave the idea of ​​rhinestones. On the fall-winter 2011, the metal is galvanized or enamel, leather and velvet devoured, the beads coated with resin or collected in “bubbled” in pompom … I hate things first degree, the references too literal. Instead, I like the idea of ​​digesting the codes of the house.

Evoked Dior for you?
Dior is the story of a look, a silhouette. Christian Dior was a man who had a lot of fantasy and expressed it in his life. And then there is a commitment to tailoring, which is reflected in the choice of materials rather from shop work. This aspect really interests me but for me, workshop does not necessarily mean embroidery. This may constitute a search, a technological achievement.

Buy Jewelry Here, silence is golden

The company regularly offers individuals to buy their old coins or gold jewellery was present at Fargniers Wednesday. His expert is very discreet about the art.

Like me, you’ve probably already received in your mailbox these offers to buy gold or jewelry. Regularly, the company specializes in the trade sends its experts or Chauny Tergnier. And probably, like me, one day not like any other, you take two minutes to read the ad. Especially as their competitors bombard us, them, commercials on television. Old gold jewelry, coins, tickets French or foreign …
On reflection, I did some broken Body Jewellery relegated to a drawer. This time the appointment is set at Fargniers at the corner of my street. One more argument to be convinced. Besides advertising pledge “not to be shy” and “Do not miss this opportunity.” It’s decided, I get these gold chains with broken links that I will never repair and, therefore, I will not bring more. A pair of small earrings are also worn a ring that has lost his twin brother … I is a small treasure. A white gold ring too small over the years.

Discretion assured

A silver chain also damaged by the ravages of time. Add a few coins that I think is money but without any certainty. The expert will tell me.
Wednesday, late morning, I go to the address, the hotel in the Rue Jean-Jaures. A sign on behalf of the company directs those interested in the operation to the banquet room located on the side of the property. A woman leaves the scene, I enter my turn. Nobody else is waiting, I’m an expert in space that has built confidence with the help of screens.
As to confession. Requires discretion. Privacy respected. The buyer is there to complete a transaction. No way off the subject. Pointless to talk about the weather or anything else than what it is now. He hands you a small document to complete. A form that aims to ensure that the transaction be made legally. “You sold it for gold? “Quips as he examined more closely one of the two chains. “I hope, I received as a gift to my birth …” The sense of humor contained in the response falls flat. He rubbed the jewel to make sure I speak the truth. He confirmed, it is gold. Phew! The honor of the family is safe. But this, the buyer does not care.

“The jewelers, no fume ‘

The professional looks, weighs, considers, considers anything without comment. Not a glance or a word for that which separates a piece of jewellery making received as gifts. No place for emotions or feelings.
Business is business. Coins me was immediately rendered, without great value, along with a “that, if you had more, I can give you more money.” Difficult to know more. It is a buyer rather than the silver chain he hands me back. I return the merchandise, repackages my mood and my humor Picard. Silence, a requirement of the job. When leaving the table, the buyer makes his pub.
“We are jewelers, not skiers. We repair jewelry and we also manufacture with the gold recovered in 30 years, “he argues. “And they are found where the jewelry you make? “The question is asked. The answer is courteous. “In store, the address is here in Paris but also in Reims J’empoche my tickets 20 euros. I salute my interlocutor. “Customer after!

HB Henriot: projects pending buyer
icon1 Beading | icon2 Body Jewellery | icon4 04 27th, 2011| icon3Comments Off

Transition period for the pottery. Waiting for a buyer, the pottery is not failing. The success of jewelry and piggy bank illustrates this situation.
Maintenance

Michel Merle, director of the HB Henriot pottery.

How the period of receivership is she lived within the company?

We live in a time of transition from the bankruptcy reorganization of the company, February 4. We continue to take actions that will be as many points for the buyer. Thus, we renew the Wholesale Jewellery
collection. We have already booked a stand at Eclat de Mode in Paris in September. And we have just launched a piggy bank in a limited edition, sold exclusively through the internet.

Jewelry in china are not a gadget?

In 2010, this activity accounted for 15% of sales. The goal is to reach 20% in 2011. And in March, the activity represented 30% of sales. This is far from negligible. The original concept has not changed. From our know-how, earthenware, we introduce a new realm, that of fashion and costume jewellery making. This is a new product that receives a new customer. Let us not forget that in 2005 we started from nothing. The new market does not upset our traditional business. The jewelry has the advantage of reaching to 70%, a national and international clientele.

The jewels are therefore a hope for the pottery?

The buyer will decide. Currently, it is a source of immediate revenue that contribute to the economic equilibrium of the pottery in a difficult moment. Under a receivership, we must assume financially from month to month under the supervision of the administrator. The production of original Body Jewellery also shows that we can do something other than a plate that hangs on the wall. I think we’ve suffered too many taboos. With jewelry, it does not damage the image of the pottery. This creates something new, the buzz.

This is the recipe to save HB Henriot?

The jewelry is advantageous. It allows us to better control the cost: there is no work of decoration. The jewelry is sold in a world where competition is different. It has nothing to do, for example, with the arts of the table where the price of a plate decorated by hand will always be compared to the price of a plate manufactured industrially. The concept of price is understood differently by the buyer. He does not hesitate to drop a buying more jewelry. This is not the case in our more traditional productions. However, there is no triumphalism in this statement. The structural problems of the company are real. It would take 3 or 4 success stories such as jewelry to allow the pottery to better assume its future.

The piggy bank is one of those successes possible?

It is an idea that college should allow us to secure our cash. The piggy bank is a classic. We had the idea to adorn the scenes “royal flower” in black and white, Gwenn ha. This pig is sold exclusively by internet, which allows us to derive the greatest margin. This is clearly an object that allows the public to provide financial support to the pottery. It is sold 64 € (postage included), 70 € with customization. Our goal is to sell 1000. A week after its launch, we had sold 250. It’s a good start.

One piece: red trousers Bottega Veneta. A color bit obvious to assume and associate.

Two stars have taken the risk: Penelope Cruz and Ashley Greene.

The Spaniard dares Bottega Veneta a total look bright. High waist trousers rolled up joined at the ankle, platform sandals collection Cruise 2010, the actress is tastefully concocts a mermaid silhouette, legs nicely stretched.

At the top, put on a blazer Penelope oversized leaves it open displaying a bust female cast in a conventional tank.

No bulky equipment, just a few jewels for beautiful, adept outfits clean, unsophisticated.

The downside? No!

Opposite, Ashley Greene, one of the stars of Twilight, trying the same pants in finely striped vertically.

One detail that comes on his shirt and fitted jacket. Superposition dangerous yet perfectly controlled by the actress.

Why? It leaves aside Body Jewellery or bags that have increased his holding. Moreover, it relies on its natural beauty, the hair dropped for a masculine-feminine effect very relaxed. She brilliantly avoids falling into the world very often caused by severe scratching.

Accessory side, she perches on sandals black patent leather, very thin, sleek silhouette tastefully done well.

The super yacht industry eyeing wealthy Asians
icon1 Beading | icon2 Body Jewellery | icon4 04 25th, 2011| icon3Comments Off

The super yacht industry depressed by the global financial crisis eyeing Asian billionaires, now outnumber Europeans in search of new external signs of wealth to revive growth rates in double digits.

When it already has great brand cars, luxury apartments and a private jet, what else does he stand out? A super yacht is defined as a vessel over 24 meters. “I love owning a yacht is a home that moves and gives me a different view every day,” says Arthur Tay, a Singaporean tycoon, owner of Hye Seas II ship of 35.4 meters, moored in a marina, Sentosa, Singapore.

Group President Sutli (trade, services), Mr Tay does not wish to reveal the price of his luxury boat with a bar and flat screens. But according to a specialist, it is a pleasure to 12 million U.S. dollars (8.3 million).

In four years the number of super yachts in Asia has doubled, rising to 216, which is still very little in terms of the 7000 sailing in the world, “says French director Jean-Jacques Lavigne, CEO of the Association of super yachts Singapore (SSA). “Two factors contribute to this growth: first the strong wealth creation in Asia, then the development of infrastructure, primarily marinas good,” Mr. Lavigne analysis.

Potential Asian customers is growing faster in fact than in the rest of the world: in 2001 and over one year, the number of Asians with a fortune of over one billion U.S. dollars rose from 234 to 332, including 115 only in China, according to Forbes magazine.

Asia now focusing more billionaires than Europe (300), but remains behind the United States (413).

Asian fleet of super yachts, though reduced, still represents a sector weighing five billion dollars, if you add transactions, maintenance and crew salaries. “It is not unreasonable to think that the sector will grow at double digits over the next five years,” said Jonathan Galaviz, American economist specializing in the luxury market. “To the extent that Asian countries continue to experience tremendous growth, purchases of items of very great luxury, such as super yachts are expected to increase,” he predicts.

To take advantage of this windfall, the first yacht to Singapore Expo, initiated by Informa Yacht Group, the organizer of the Monaco Yacht Show, held last weekend. Objective: To enable manufacturers to showcase their products and yacht owners to discover the destination Singapore. “It is clear that there is a tendency here to afford such Body Jewellery . We do our best to make Singapore the hub for the super yacht industry in South-East, like Monaco for Europe, “said Andy Treadwell, CEO of Informa Yacht Group.

See yachts sailing in the waters of the region will entice buyers, “says Treadwell. “The more super yachts will come more potential customers who do not know anything yet will be attracted,” he adds.

In 2010, 81 of these super yachts are anchored in Singapore, against only 16 in 2006, according to SSA. Still limited by the lack of infrastructure, they will attend in the future easier waters of the region thanks to the many marinas under construction or planned in Singapore, China, South Korea or Indonesia.
