Flair Magazine To showcase her latest collection high-end jewelry designer Jude Benhalim collaborated with luxury handbags designer Marie De La Roche in a joint street style shoot that took place during Paris Fashion Week and starring London based socialite, Jordan Grant as she took over the Parisian streets in her ultra chic looks styled with both designers.
For her collection titled La Sierra, the majesty of the Saharan desert and the peaks of its golden dunes inspired Jude Benhalim, exploring the desert landscapes and its shapes. Cascading like liquid gold, it Jude created a series of pieces that mimic the desert topography. She channeled the curves found in the desert landscapes while paying tribute to her Arabian roots. The result was a collection that features asymmetric, exaggerated silhouettes where it thoughtfully mixes gold-plated brass and 925 silver with custom made resin stones, offering an artful yet wearable composition.
While the desert dunes of the Sahara is what sparked Jude’s inspiration, for handbags designer Marie De La Roche it was the majestic city of Rome and the classic film Roman Holiday that sparked her interest. Inspired by the city’s mythical creature and architectural opulence, the result of the designer’s interpretation were fresh shapes and gelato colored handbags.
The collaboration merged two designers with a love for craftsmanship and a knack for creating unique handmade luxury products with the perfect feminine and vibrant touches, enlivening every woman’s day-to-day looks. The collaboration was brought to life in the iconic Parisian streets, portraying the simple elegance of both designers.
