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 period of extravagance which Bvlgari captured to perfection in jewelry, Bvlgari has just launched in Rome the irreverent and bold new Wild Pop High Jewelry collection. With creations that were pure opulence and impeccable reflections of modern roman glamor, the 1980s marked that very moment when Bvlgari established a new language in High Jewelry that still lives on today. Larger-than-life jewels that truly exemplified the innovative and provocative spirit of the era as much as the rising and irresistible power of women. An aesthetic revolution that also involved the innovation of extraordinary jewelry making techniques: the bravado of post-industrial style Tubogas ribbed gold elements, which Bvlgari had been working into sen- sational 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 art form and rediscovering audacity in fashion and design, the free spirit of disco music, the rebel touch of glam rock, and an exciting new world order on the horizon. This summer the spotlight will be on more than just our new High Jewelry Collection. With a fresh statement of unconventional elegance, new jewels will expand the fun-loving spirit of the BVLGARI BVLGARI collection. BVLGARI BVLGARI is perhaps the most iconic and cov- eted luxury symbol worldwide, its contemporary style paying tribute to Imperial Roman coins featuring 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 colorful creations are de- signed for women who love to create a look of their very own. Furthermore, inspired by the de- sirable yet feared nature of the viper, Bvlgari will also be introducing its 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 2018 Fall Winter Collection will soon reach our worldwide boutiques. With a combination of vibrant gemstone colors, geo- metric 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 reimagined 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- eler 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 power. Get ready to welcome this extraordinarily creative and exciting Bvlgari-Summer season!
