Artistic director Matthieu Blazy loosens formal codes, shortens hemlines and adds colour, echoing founder Gabrielle Chanel’s own playful spirit.

Amanda Mille and Cécile Guenat guide the design of watches worn by women, from Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh to football icon Sam Kerr.

Inspired by a fairy-tale book found in Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel’s library, Matthieu Blazy’s latest collection proves that fantasy and function can coexist.

The watchmaker also partners with the tournament’s organising body, The R&A, as well as Rolex Testimonees like Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler.

The 12 bejewelled models in the collection are split into pink, violet, blue and green chapters, each a mosaic of gemstones in harmony with the technical watchmaking.

Available exclusively in Hong Kong at Masterpiece by King Fook, the German maison’s award-winning pieces blend technical mastery with whimsical, flexible designs.

Titled Human Being, the line’s 5 suites – Rain, Flower, Light, Tattoo and Checkers – celebrate aspects of imagination, creativity and emotion.

The maison transported Matthieu Blazy’s dazzling Métiers d’Art debut to Seoul’s Centre Pompidou Hanwha, with Tilda Swinton, G-Dragon and Jennie in attendance.

The Italian brand’s latest high jewellery collection celebrates Milan’s goldsmithing artistry through tactile designs and a rainbow of coloured gems.

The fine jewellery collection designed by the brand’s co-creative directors plays with unexpected pairs of gemstones, including aquamarine, amethyst, Madeira citrine, pink morganite and peridot.

The high jewellery collection celebrates the modern woman’s quest for daring designs and is fronted by role models like Phoebe Dynevor, Alicia Vikander, Victoria Song and Shin Min-a.

From a V-cut tote to a croc-embossed baguette, Matthieu Blazy’s silhouettes prove that knowing who you are is Chanel’s most radical design statement.

Laufey, Kim Go-eun and Park Seo-jun were among the stars to gather for an evening of glittering creativity, craftsmanship and music at The Repulse Bay.

Pieces including the Tutti Kanya, Tellura, Haryma and Panthère Kentia were shown at a Saint-Tropez chateau alongside art by Damien Hirst, Yves Klein and Anselm Kiefer.
