In her five years at Louis Vuitton [as Artistic Director for Watches and Jewellery], Francesca Amfitheatrof’s artistic prowess of injecting modernity along with her unique perspective to the ancient art of jewellery design has led to the creation of many a revolutionary collection for the house. Her recently released book, Fantastical Jewels, delves into the details of four such collections and, in her own words, is an open, transparent, and a generous expression of how Amfitheatrof works.
Grazia: As a woman, what is the relationship you share with jewellery? Does it carry any emotional resonance with you?
Francesca Amfitheatrof: As a woman, I have a strong affinity with wearing jewellery and feeling it on me, it is a physical and emotional connection. Even though today many more men are wearing jewellery and high jewellery.
G: Where did you draw your early inspirations from?
FA: Really my starting point is a strong magnetic pull towards a concept that unveils itself to me in my mind, once I choose to commit to that one concept the research starts, and I dive into it so that I can expand my world.
Having grown up all over the world, I have a very multicultural identity that allows me to always be very open-minded to world cultures and history.
