What was originally just a daring attempt on his part is now becoming a real date.
If Valérie Messika continues to unveil her high jewelry treasures in July at the same time as Place Vendôme, it is in September, when the fashionable crowd of Fashion Week invades the streets of Paris, that she will now stage her collections.
A highlight that suits her well because Messika has always had one foot in jewelry and the other on the fashion scene.
On the podium side this season, her lifelong friends (Cindy Bruna, Taylor Hill, Toni Garrn...), but also in the front row Emily Ratajkowski, Gigi Hadid or Carla Bruni who welcomed the appearance of Naomi Campbell at the end of the parade.
But it was another bang that caught our eye...

In the line of sight, the incredible diamond that Gigi Hadid had slipped at her waist to hide her navel.
A skillfully twisted neo piercing that was found, like a golden thread, throughout the parade.
Waist chains that mingled with the brilliance of diamonds worn on the arm, as chokers or on the models' lower lip.
If Valérie Messika drew her inspiration from the charm of ancient Egypt, it is the figures of the 2000s style that set the tone for this high jewelry show.
A nice way of marrying the precious with the trends of the moment which should not come as a surprise, as this ultra-modern mix & match has become the signature of Messika Paris since its foundation in 2005. Against the current of course, until the others also turn back.
