VO Plus: The January Issue

What is “inclusive” beauty? We asked this question to Patrizia di Carrobbio on the opening page of the issue, as we invited her to provide us with her opinion on jewelry’s new aesthetic codes. But it is a matter that we asked ourselves when selecting all the topics in these pages, whether speaking with celebrities or those who have accompanied us on this first “trip” of the year. The “made in Gucci” concept, according to which inclusivity is “the new exclusivity”, can also be applied to jewelry despite its less fashionable côté. And so, here is our Edit section dedicated to unisex jewelry: the three interviews with Ana Khouri, Harumi Klossowska de Rola and Luz Camino, who supplied us the most excellent example of modern exclusivity; the new faces in arrival from the Far East; the value of the mentor, a figure that is increasingly popular even when talking about bling bling. All this enriched by a closer look at The State of Social Jewelry – with a focus on the new Avatar -, by an analysis of the future of the Chinese frontier and the development of sustainable creativity, made up of a multitude of small brands, not just big companies. Completing everything is the second edition of the Editor's Choice: from dawn to dusk, “very inclusive” and easy-to-wear jewelry.
