In a momentous move marking its 140th anniversary, Bvlgari, the renowned Roman jewelry Maison, appoints the acclaimed Greek designer Mary Katrantzou as the Creative Director of Accessories. This significant collaboration solidifies a relationship rooted in history, shared vision, and a commitment to excellence. Mary Katrantzou's journey with Bvlgari began in 2019, when she graced the Temple of Poseidon in Greece during a couture fashion show dedicated to charity. Since then, her creative prowess has left an indelible mark on the brand, culminating in her pivotal role overseeing the creative direction of Bvlgari's leather goods and accessories, including the exclusive High Jewelry collection.
A Fusion of Heritage and Innovation!
Reflecting on her new role, Mary Katrantzou remarked, "It's a new chapter, to find myself in a completely different culture from my own company. The speed at which an idea can be implemented and an original can be constructed is extremely satisfying for every creator. Andy Warhol once said, 'When I'm in Rome, I always go to Bulgari because it's like visiting the best exhibition of contemporary art.' There are simply so many possibilities here." Katrantzou's words underscore the fusion of heritage and innovation that defines her collaboration with Bvlgari, promising enthusiasts worldwide an exquisite blend of tradition and contemporary artistry. The eagerly anticipated debut collection under her leadership is poised to captivate fashion aficionados when it hits Bvlgari boutiques globally in August 2024.
