Chopard Silk Road Collection
Jul 24, 2017,11:56 AM
Chopard Co-President Caroline Scheufele collaborated with Chinese fashion designer Guo Pei to create a unique High Jewellery collection. The Chopard Silk Road Collection is a masterpiece distilled from an encounter between two women with a shared love of creative design, and between two Maisons expressing exceptional skills.
Guo Pei and Caroline Scheufele
Incorporating core principles of High Jewellery and Couture artistic crafts, Caroline Scheufele and Guo Pei used silhouettes and movement, architecture and light, details and majesty on their joint collection in which jewellery and apparel meet and mingle to embroider some truly exceptional pieces. Chopard sets the stage for its most prestigious gems, in turn inspiring the most extravagant gowns.

Alongside its new shapes and new uses, representing dainty stitches interweaving High Jewellery with Couture, the Silk Road collection also reveals the common ground between these two worlds in shaping a silhouette. Witness the diamond lacework Peter Pan collar necklace with its detachable central emerald: perfect lines, candid charm and a dazzling effect.

Of course, a Chinese theme must pay tribute to jade.

The theme was embroidered from the Silk Road and Asian colours and fabrics to give rise to a vast and opulent collection of High Jewellery. Based on these models, Guo Pei continued the creative adventure, weaving the jewellery into her own world and putting together a Couture collection tailored to the same high standards.

There are a couple of pret-a-porter pieces in the collection that are more affordable like the Happy Sport watch and simple long necklace.
Commentary :
A refreshing change is embodied by this Silk Road Collection, which interprets elegance and jewellery expertise with “seamstress dexterity”. Despite the economic slowdown, the Chinese luxury market is still booming for the select few. Chopard leverages its creativity and strengthens its relevance on the international scene. The collaboration with a Chinese designer who has “invaded” Paris Couture Week and the vibrant Silk Road Collection, through a joint runway show with Guo Pei, can only be a good thing.
