Messika tapped French singer Carla Bruni to rep its latest high jewellery collection, Midnight Sun, which is inspired by 70s icons like Freddie Mercury, Diana Ross, Andy Warhol and Liza Minnelli

The maison’s founder Valérie Messika called the theme ‘electric and daring’, and it shows – from the stylish Glitter Fever set and fierce Fiery pieces to the heart motifs in Joy Cœur

Messika’s latest high jewellery collection – Midnight Sun – draws inspiration from the bright lights and wild nights of 1970s’ nightclubs. And in keeping with its spirit, the maison has chosen French model and singer Carla Bruni as its ambassador to bring the collection to life.

“With Midnight Sun, Messika showcases the fascinating history of these unparalleled celebrations,” says brand founder, Valérie Messika. “The night spots of the time were the culminating point of all the antagonisms and extravagances. Spaces far from conventions, whose hypnotic spirit continues to be a source of inspiration and desire. Who better than the magnetic Carla Bruni to embody this electric and daring theme?”
