VO Plus: The May Issue

«All of Vhernier’s jewels feature volume, femininity and lightness and this is evident in the Calla design. For us, femininity always translates to soft, round shapes that, in spite of strong materials, are in any case minimal and understated.» That’s how Carlo Traglio, the President of Vhernier, defines the most iconic symbol of the house – the Calla – which turns twenty this year, and we celebrate with our May cover. A cover that pays homage to a timeless jewel that perfectly embodies the modern concept of 'less is more', thanks to its simple line featuring a single element delicately and gracefully repeated in a 'continuum'. And it is with such a special 'kick-off ', that this issue celebrates the esthetic culture of jewelry that lasts over time, with the illustrious opening endorsement of the jewelry designer Elsa Peretti, for whom «defending a tradition that is in our DNA is the basis of all our work.» One hundred and forty four pages of contamination between jewelry, art, history, digital universes and en- trepreneurial worlds, told in a new special section of 'made in Italy' portraits.
