Kering unveils Boucheron’s Quatre 5D Memory, imagined by Claire Choisne, Creative Director. This year, Boucheron accomplished the feat of encapsulating the sound of water for billions of years within its jewelry icon. The Maison now unveils the “Quatre 5D Memory” ring, born of cutting-edge innovation serving a creative and artistic dream. 'Quatre 5D Memory' is not just one, but three innovations combined within a single capsule creation. 1- An audio artwork developed in collaboration with IRCAM - Centre Pompidou. 2- A laser engraving data storage process called ‘5D Memory’ used to store the audio within a Boucheron Quatre ring. 3- A silica glass called Glassomer, with unique optical properties, to hold this precious message. This triple technological feat transforms the Quatre ring into a true time(less) capsule. #Boucheron #CarteBlancheHighJewelry #5DMemory

The launch of Bottega Veneta’s collection of five luxury fragrances marks a milestone for Kering Beauté, as the first perfume creation and development with a Kering House since its inception. It also represents Matthieu Blazy’s inaugural incursion into the world of fragrance at Bottega Veneta. Created in 2023, Kering Beauté was founded with the clear ambition of building and leveraging the maximum potential of its Houses’ beauty category.  “We have among the most beautiful Houses in the luxury industry in the portfolio. (…) Beauty is a natural extension of the Kering Houses universe, and it was strategic for Kering to develop the expertise of beauty in house. In addition, we have a portfolio of very elevated brands. So the idea of developing a category that is, by definition, more accessible, just amplifies the universe and creates a natural entry point for our customers.” - Kering Beauté Chief Executive Officer Raffaella Cornaggia to WWD.

Kering unveils Bottega Veneta’s first fragrance collection under the Creative Direction of Matthieu Blazy, marking a milestone as Kering Beauté’s first launch since its creation. Rooted in house heritage, the collection is inspired by Bottega Veneta’s origin city of Venice, as well as the Maison’s signature leather weave, the Intrecciato. Looking to Venice’s long-standing history as a hub of cross-cultural trade and encounter, each of the collection’s five fragrances was designed as a meeting of ingredients from different countries and continents. Just as Venice long bridged influences from North and South, East and West, this olfactory Intrecciato tells a global story, weaving 100% natural origin essences from different corners of the globe into evocative perfumes that captivate the senses and transport the imagination. #BottegaVeneta #KeringBeauté
