Everybody’s trying to copy this look,” said Pop icon Andy Warhol during an interview with Nicola Bulgari. In a tribute to the roaring 1980s, a pe- riod of extravagance Bvlgari captured to perfection in jewellery, Bvlgari has just launched in Rome the irreverent and bold new Wild Pop High Jewellery collection. With creations that were pure opulence and impeccable reflections of modern roman glamour, the 1980s marked that very moment when Bvlgari established a new language in High Jewellery that still lives on today. Larger-than-life jewels that truly exemplified the innovative and provoc- ative spirit of the era as much as the rising and irresistible power of women. An aesthetic revo- lution that also involved the innovation of extraordinary jewellery making techniques: the bra- vado of post-industrial style Tubogas ribbed gold elements, Bvlgari had been working into sensational jewels since the mid-1940s, became wildly popular in those years. Poised between Bvlgari’s creative heritage and an ultra-contemporary feel, the Wild Pop collec- tion pulsates with the energy of an inimitable era, heralding a new, glamorous and totally un- expected form of art and rediscovering the audacity in fashion and design, the free spirit of disco music, the rebel touch of glam rock or an exciting new world order on the horizon. This summer, the spotlight will not only be on our new High Jewellery Collection. With a fresh statement of unconventional elegance, new jewels will expand the fun-loving spirit of the BVL- GARI BVLGARI collection. BVLGARI BVLGARI is perhaps the most iconic and coveted luxury symbol worldwide, its contemporary style paying tribute to Imperial Roman coins fea- turing the ruler on their faces and his name around the edge. Contemporary and cool, from single stud earrings, to mouth-watering Gelati ice-creams, these new colourful creations are designed for women who love to create a look of their very own. Furthermore, inspired by the desirable yet feared nature of the viper, Bvlgari will also be introducing new Serpenti jewels, which combine the compelling beauty of the snake’s scales with the sinuosity of its body: elegance with a hint of danger! In the fashionable yet timeless world of Bvlgari Leather Goods, the Fall Winter Collection 2018 will soon reach our worldwide boutiques. A combination of vibrant gemstone colours, geometric shapes, luxuriant leathers and touches of pop, the collection plays according to Bvlgari’s own rules. This season sees two stars: the Serpenti Diamond Blast bag, a glamorous classic reima- gined with sharper, edgier shapes and contrasting textures, and the Pop Corn motif, a playful pattern that gives a pop update to Bvlgari’s most precious exotic skins. To celebrate the never-ending bond between Bvlgari and Hollywood, in April we announced a long term partnership with the famous Tribeca Film festival. Bvlgari was named Official Jew- eller of the Festival and to mark this special occasion released two original short movies portray- ing contemporary Italian women who define their own paths and inspire others to do the same. A new chapter to celebrate female icons of our time, built on the powerful legacy of Bvlgari and cinema. And a celebration of gender diversity and women in control. Be ready to welcome this extraordinarily creative and exciting Bvlgari-Summer season!
