Piaget Brings Sixties Boldness Back with Shapes of Extraleganza
Piaget is embracing its flamboyant roots with Shapes of Extraleganza, a bold new high jewellery collection unveiled just outside Barcelona. Inspired by the Swinging Sixties and Seventies, the range reimagines vintage glamour through modern silhouettes, vibrant colour palettes, and avant-garde craftsmanship. The collection draws from the Maison's landmark 21st Century Collection of jewellery watches, first launched in Basel in 1969. That original line captured the artistic and social dynamism of the era and Shapes of Extraleganza channels that same spirit through striking new designs. Showcasing Piaget's technical finesse, the new collection highlights the brand's expertise in sourcing and setting rare stones. Standout pieces include a one-of-a-kind necklace set with 19 fancy-shaped black Australian opals and a cushion-cut blue sapphire, as well as another featuring exceptionally rare round-cut emeralds paired with hand-engraved gold and baguette-cut diamonds. These designs reflect Piaget's ongoing commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, with some pieces taking years to bring to completion. The collection also includes bold earrings set with diamonds, emeralds, malachite, and chrysoprase—creations aimed at collectors who favour strong, characterful designs. Among the most visually arresting suites is Kaleidoscope Lights, which brings together nine ornamental stones—including sugilite, rhodochrosite, verdite, and sodalite—in a vibrant, striped mosaic that draws inspiration from Op Art and Pop Art. One standout necklace features a 3.01-carat pear-shaped D-IF diamond framed by vividly coloured stones, offering a perfect balance between artistic expression and wearable luxury. Shapes of Extraleganza reflect Piaget's ongoing exploration of its historical design language through contemporary forms. The collection references past motifs while introducing updated materials and techniques, resulting in pieces that are both visually bold and technically complex. Related

Power of presence
THE role of brand ambassadors has never been more pivotal in fashion, beauty, wellness and lifestyle. No longer just pretty faces in glossy campaigns, today's ambassadors bring something deeper to the table, which is authenticity and a personal story that aligns with the ethos of the brands they represent. These individuals become a living embodiment of brand values. As global markets become more interconnected and consumers increasingly demand transparency and relatability, the ambassadorship model continues to evolve and leaning into substance just as much as style. The latest cohort of names stepping into these roles illustrates this shift perfectly. Piaget – Gianna Jun Maison Piaget recently announced South Korean actress Gianna Jun as its new Global Ambassador, placing her among the glittering names of the Piaget Society, both past and present. With a heritage steeped in bold design and artistic expression, Piaget has long courted cultural icons from Andy Warhol to Elizabeth Taylor. Jun now joins this legacy, reflecting the Maison's modern elegance and daring design. Her appointment marks not only a tribute to timeless beauty, but also a spark of creative energy for a new generation of jewellery watch lovers. Prada – Lee Gawon As one of fashion's most revered names, Prada continues to set the tone for minimalist luxury and intellectual style. With roots in Milanese craftsmanship and a forward-thinking approach to design, the brand has long captured the attention of artistes and icons alike. This year, Prada welcomes Lee Gawon, a breakout member of rising K-pop group Meovv as its newest brand ambassador. Since debuting in late 2024 with the single Meow, Gawon has stood out for her confidence and boldness, on stage and on the red carpet. Her attendance at the Prada Fall/Winter 2025 show in Milan earlier this year cemented her place as a fashion force. Just months into her career, Gawon is already defining her own path, and Prada is ready to walk it with her. Miu Miu – Ella Gross Often seen as Prada's younger, rebellious sister, Miu Miu is a brand that celebrates individuality, femininity and an offbeat charm. It is only fitting that Ella Gross, also from Meovv, is now part of its ambassador family. Known for her striking visuals and subtle yet powerful presence, Gross's journey with Miu Miu began in Paris during the Fall/Winter 2025 show. Since then, her evolving style and flair for the unconventional have made her an ideal face for the brand which is instinctive and just a little bit unexpected. 1win – Canelo Alvarez 1win, a global sports betting and entertainment platform, has taken its commitment to excellence to the ring by signing boxing titan Canelo Alvarez as its newest global partner. This is a long-term collaboration grounded in shared values of performance and passion. As Alvarez prepares to face William Scull for the IBF title, he carries not only the weight of three existing championship belts (WBA, WBC, WBO), but also the backing of a brand that believes in strategy and victory. In his own words: 'Success takes focus, strategy and passion and 1win brings that same winning energy.' Jawara is a celebrity hair stylist. Hair Rituel by Sisley – Jawara When craftsmanship meets creativity, the results are often extraordinary. Hair Rituel by Sisley has announced a powerful new partnership with celebrity hairstylist Jawara, whose artistic fingerprint is found on runway looks and editorial shoots the world over. From humble beginnings in Brooklyn to styling icons scuh as Beyonce, Rihanna and Dua Lipa, Jawara has become a leading force in beauty. Now, as International Brand Ambassador, he brings his technique and vision to Sisley's high-performance haircare range by bridging artistry with science to elevate everyday rituals. Cartier – Gemma Chan A long-time friend of the brand, Gemma Chan is now a Cartier Ambassador. Known for her commanding performances in Humans, Crazy Rich Asians and more recently The Actor, Chan brings elegance and modernity to every project she touches. Her ambassadorship with Cartier also reflects her personal dedication to storytelling, on-screen and behind the scenes. Currently developing a biopic on Anna May Wong and executive producing various film and TV projects, she is a natural fit for a Maison that values cultural depth. Goh is a Malaysian badminton player. Life-Space Malaysia – Goh Sze Fei Wellness is expanding beyond traditional boundaries and Life-Space, Australia's probiotic brand, is tapping into the power of athleticism by naming Malaysian badminton player Goh Sze Fei as its newest ambassador. This partnership underscores the growing awareness of gut health's role in physical performance. With a training regimen built on discipline and balance, Goh exemplifies the Life-Space ethos. As he continues to soar on court, he now carries a new mission off it which is to champion gut health as the foundation for vitality and better living.
