A centre of excellence in all phases of the production process, from prototype modelling to purely artisanal jewellery creation, it will perfectly bridge innovation and tradition and allow Bulgari to lift Italian craftsmanship to even higher levels. The heart and soul of this project lies precisely in what it represents: the priceless value of artistic Italian production which, along with creativity and style, symbolises the brand’s excellence. An on-site artistic and technical school, the BVLGARI ACADEMY, will invest in the future, with training and ongoing specialisation activities for the new generation of master goldsmiths and jewellers. By creating new employment opportunities, the school will further encour- age an art form that has always represented Italian excellence. 2017 is also poised to be the year in which Bulgari presents a more distinctive expression of its new vision, Larger than Life, boldly and uniquely revitalising design, communication and at- tentive service. Young muses, such as Lily Aldridge and Alicia Vikander for jewellery, Lottie Moss for accessories, and others to follow over the course of the year, will embody the sensual magnetism deep within Bulgari’s soul. Such a sublime meeting of Italian glamour and international brand ambassadors is sure to interpret Bulgari style with a touch of contemporary elegance. In February, the world will finally see the exceptional visionary talent Zaha Hadid brought to the new look of B.zero1. Without forgetting the ring’s iconic, Roman-inspired design, architectur- al principles fuse to take on a contemporary, unexpected form. Tradition is exalted by modernity in a single piece of jewellery. Larger than Life will be the tale to accompany the selection of gems, the completion of complex mechanisms, the cutting of leather, and the choice of ingredients for each perfume – fun- damental elements for masterpieces handed down through gen- erations, destined to live forever. Such excellence is the basis of each creation, inseparable from Bulgari in a love story which continues after 130 years.

  • 2015-Bvlgari-Jewelry-Catalog
    Since 1884, Bulgari has exemplified Italian excellence. Built upon 2700 years of Roman history, Bulgari honors its rich past within its modern designs. Renowned for a stylistic audacity and a penchant for color, a Bulgari piece is immediately recognizable. The sensuality of volume, a love of linearity, and a reverence for the art and architecture of its ancient roots – such characteristics define each creation. With a mastery of artisanal craftsmanship, Bulgari innovates the future of design, and guards the legend of exquisite beauty. Finding its Roman beginnings as a jewelry shop, Bulgari was founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. Today an icon of luxury, Bulgari is known for its unrivalled design, striking volumes and bold colors. Finding endless inspiration in the Eternal City, Bulgari reinterprets the majestic symbols of Rome into exquisite editions of jewelry, watches, accessories and perfumes. Honoring its history, Bulgari engraved the original Latin “V” epigraphy of its name above the prestigious Via dei Condotti store in 1934, inspiring the BVLGARI logo. In 2014, the magnificent DOMVS was built in the flagship store as a gallery to house Bulgari Heritage Collection treasures. The Bulgari name has become synonymous with brilliant color, symbolic storytelling, and peerless craftsmanship – for over 130 years. IN ALL THINGS BVLGARI, LUXURY IS LEGEND THE ART OF JEWELRY MAKING: THE BVLGARI SAVOIR-FAIRE Intricate and striking, Bulgari jewelry is highly recognizable. Some of Bulgari’s trademark designs – vivid cabochon-cut gemstones, coiling Serpenti creations, ancient Monete coin jewels – are only possible because of the masterful jewelry making of the Maison. From the trained eye of the gemologist to the meticulous hand of the goldsmith, Bulgari gems can take years to find and assemble, while Bulgari craftsmen devote months to each piece of wearable perfection.

In 2013 she enrolled in the Management course in Católica Porto Business School. In September 2015 she moved to Amsterdam to experience tu study during fall semester at HvA - Hogeschool Van Amsterdam (University of Applied Sciences). The six months she spent abroad were crucial for her personal growth as well as for her academic expansion, given that HvA promotes both experimental and theoretical education. The biggest challenge at a academic level was learning of SAP’s software functionalities within a fictional company inside the university, which gave her tangible insights about working in a company. In January 2017 she concluded her bachelor degree with an average grade of fourteen out of twenty, with the intention to enroll in a master’s degree in September of that year. During that period, she got an internship in the Super Bock Group in marketing department. For three months she participated in the internationalization of their products to Spain. By September 2017 she had enrolled in the Master’s in Economics and Business Administration at FEP School of Economics and Management, with the aim to expand her knowledge in the management field as well as learning about economics.

  • LVMH's Bid for Tiffany &
    N9-921-049 MARCH 22, 2021 GUHAN SUBRAMANIAN JULIAN ZLATEV RASEEM FAROOK LVMH‘s Bid for Tiffany & Co. Founded in 1837, Tiffany & Co. had a proud history as one of the most iconic designers of luxury jewelry in the world. Its signature blue box was known by high-end consumers globally, and classic movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s gave it a permanent place in American culture. In recent times however, the company had been struggling with growth, as annual sales and profit were on a decline since 2015. Though it managed to achieve a revenue turnaround in 20171, profits continued to drop through 2018. As a result, Tiffany’s shareholder returns suffered, underperforming both the S&P 500 Index and S&P Consumer Discretionary Index over the past five years (See Exhibit 1). Rumors that LVMH, the biggest luxury goods conglomerate in the world, wanted to acquire Tiffany started circulating in the industry in the fall of 2019. In response to these rumors, LVMH, on October 28th, 2019, confirmed that it had held preliminary discussions regarding a possible transaction with Tiffany. LVMH clarified that there was no assurance that these discussions would result in any agreement.2 LVMH’s Chairman and CEO, Bernard Arnault, had built LVMH into a powerhouse with more than €50 billion in annual revenue by pursuing a relentless acquisition strategy and now looked at Tiffany to be the crown jewel atop his luxury empire.3 LVMH initially made an offer of $120 per share4 to acquire Tiffany but the bid was promptly rejected by Tiffany’s board.

  • Boutique Hotels Segment the Challenge of Standing out from the Crowd
    SEPTEMBER 2011 BOUTIQUE HOTELS SEGMENT THE CHALLENGE OF STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD Cristina Balekjian Associate Lara Sarheim Associate Director www.hvs.com HVS – London Office| 7‐10 Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, London W1G 9DQ, UK Introduction Interest in boutique hotels, despite the relative slow down in the global economy, remains overwhelming. It is an exciting segment of the market particularly within Europe’s gateway cities. New investors are keen to enter the market and established hotel operators are fast expanding and developing new concepts to compete in this sector. With the boutique hotel market now truly established, operators have recently reported data that suggests their hotels are outperforming the competing corporate chains, especially during the recession. Developing/evolving consumer habits can help to explain this growth as guests are becoming more aware of design, expect a higher level of service, and are increasingly seeking an experience instead of a commoditised product. Guests increasingly want to feel recognised and like to feel part of a unique experience. Boutique hotels are generally accepted to be small (100 rooms appears to be the invisible boundary) and are therefore better placed to react as their limited capacity enables them to enhance the quality of service and customise their outlets. In the majority of cases, large‐scale hotels need to cater to a significant number of guests, and thus struggle to compete with the personal service afforded by a small boutique operation that can take into consideration the preference of each individual guest. Furthermore, (independent) boutique hotel owners often do not have to comply with brand standards, thus developers can more easily convert an existing building into a design led‐hotel that welcomes varying floor levels and layouts rather than having to conform to minimum room sizes and specific FF&E standards imposed by most brands.
