The display is quite sensational...
Jeweled flowers...
Under glass domes...
As they well deserve...
Castellane designed jewelry for Chanel for 14 years...
And then moved on to Dior in 1998...
As the first Creative Director of the jewelry department...
Basically self-taught, Castellane made her first piece of jewelry at the age 5 by wrecking a precious brooch of her mothers and making it into earrings.
She adores playing with unusual materials and the unexpected...
Toys and whimsey are a constant source of inspiration.
Don't miss hearing her speak...

BONJOUR VICTOIRE!
