Renowned fashion house Dior has produced a series of charming short animated videos marking the launch of its new Rose des Vents fine jewelry collection.
Based on fanciful illustrations by Victoire de Castellane, each short film represents one of the four types of stones used in the jewels: north for mother-of-pearl; east for pink opal; south for turquoise, and west for lapis lazuli.
The first movie portrays an imaginary party preparation between de Castellane and Christian Dior at the famed Dior headquarters on Avenue Montaigne in Paris. The sparkling lapis lazuli jewels serve in place of a disco ball, illuminating the room.
The Rose des Vents collection will consist of four bracelets, four necklaces and one long necklace and will go on sale on May 11 in France, May 18 in Europe and June 3 in the rest of the world.
