High jewellery becomes fluid with Van Cleef & Arpels’ ballerina clips, which capture the movement of dance in gold and precious stoneshistory has long been intertwined with the world of dance, beginning with co-founder Louis Arpels’ regular visits to the Opéra Garnier in the 1920s, which was a short stroll from the Place Vendôme boutique.
To imbue the designs with realism, the body of the ballerina is drawn first without the costumes, ensuring both the correct proportions and an accurate expression of movement rather than an evocation. ‘Another element we think very important – as it’s the character of a ballerina and not a doll or precise representation of one person – is that they don’t have a precise face,’ Bos adds.
The collection heralds the launch of Dance Reflections, Van Cleef & Arpels’ festival to be hosted in London in March 2022. ‘There will be 16 choreographies and 18 works in almost three weeks, with the venues at Sadlers Wells, the Royal Opera House and,’ Serge Laurent, head of dance and culture programmes at Van Cleef & Arpels, tells us. The programme will focus on contemporary dance from the 1970s to the present time, featuring both established choreographers and emerging talents.
