Clare Waight Keller Brings Old-School Parisian Glamour to Reformation
It is arguable that the most popular trend in jewellery right now is the updating of heirlooms. It can be attributed to the return of vintage artefacts as well as the style cred that comes with possessing something that is really difficult to get from the past.
You don’t have to sift through bins upon bins in order to locate the ideal piece of jewellery because Reformation has released a new jewellery capsule that was designed by Clare Waight Keller. You might recognise her name from her time spent working at Chloé and Givenchy.
According to Waight Keller, who was interviewed by ELLE, “the collection is entirely inspired by Paris in the 1920s.” “The goal is to simulate a night out on the town that is filled with the glitz and glamour of France.” The ten-piece selection includes necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that are created to have the appearance of heirloom pieces while yet having a contemporary and contemporary perspective.
A Moveable Feast, a novel written by Ernest Hemingway that takes place in Paris in the 1920s, served as the inspiration for the ad, which featured Dree Hemingway as the spokesperson.
The items indeed remind one of the jewellery that one could see on the Instagram feed of a vintage jeweller. For example, one might think of Parisian dealers who are constantly on the lookout for the most desirable and one-of-a-kind pieces.
Waight Keller continues by saying, “From an aesthetic standpoint, there is a sense of timelessness and versatility throughout.” “Really romantic, dainty, and delicate styles that look like they could be heirlooms, along with bolder pieces with modern, strong lines [that] are perfect for adding an effortless statement, whether it be during the day or at night.”
When it comes to elevating accessible style, the British designer is certainly not lacking in experience. With Waight Keller’s recent appointment as the creative director of Uniqlo, you can be assured that the collections you purchase for will be designed by a talented individual.
“It is difficult to find a really well-designed piece at a fairly priced price,” she admits. “It is difficult to find.” In particular, I adore the moulded and sculpted cuffs since they look stunning either worn by themselves for day-to-day usage or when worn with one on each wrist for a more daring effect during the evening.
Recycled 24-karat gold vermeil, 925 sterling silver, and semi-precious stones are used in the manufacture of the capsule, which is in keeping with Reformation’s dedication to responsible production techniques.
It is said by Waight Keller that the deadstock jade is a representation of the midnight sky. A tinge of shimmer that evokes the stars and the enchantment of a night out in Paris is added to the overall effect.
