Vicenzaoro September, the international jewellery Show organized by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) and scheduled to take place from 7th to 11th September, has now earned the reputation as the place to be! The event where the international jewellery community meets to discover the design trends that will be influencing their sector.
From The Design Room to Trendvision, the independent research centre that forecasts global jewellery trends ahead of time, VOS will be staging the best of design and international creativity in a unique setting, made of beauty, art and culture.
The Design Room, located inside the ICON community Hall, will be a forge of ideas and the maximum expression of experimentation with an accurate selection of 12 top Independent Designers from all over the world presenting their own collections and offering an interpretation of contemporaneity in a highly original and creative key. Their personal aesthetics study unusual gem accompaniments, curious geometries and are expressions of power and elegance.
The Design Room VOS 2019 will be accompanied with consolidated attendances at Vicenzaoro such as Marie Mas, Lydia Courteille and Alessio Boschi as well as some new and highly important international new entries.
Among these, Tomasz Donocik, the Polish designer who lives and works in London and has already been nominated as Jeweller of the Year in the United Kingdom. Stylistically highly contemporary, with a language that speaks to a sophisticated and mature public, he works in artisan-style and exclusively in pink or white 18-carat gold using the best precious stones. In time he has managed to innovate in terms of harmony of shape.
Also among the new entries: Yeprem, the Lebanese designer, famous for her creations with diamonds, and Greek designer Margaritis Lefteris.
Confirmed participants are Sicis, a big name in design that lives on constant cross-contaminations, and Mattia Cielo, with his highly engineered jewellery. In addition, Eclats Jewelry, Alessa Jewelry and Cedille Paris and the highly-anticipated return of Netali Nissim, with her iconic collections of prêt-à-porter talismans.
“Once again at the September 2019 edition, The Design Room will be strengthening Vicenzaoro’s new international direction which, with this project, gives voice to a series of accurately selected international designers - says Federica Frosini, Chief Editor of VO+ Jewellery and Luxury magazine, Italian Exhibition Group’s publication specifically for jewellery - An idea that focuses on independent designers whose stylistic identity is expressed through collections of extremely high-quality manufacture”.
An area in itself, located inside the ICON District, will, for the first time, be hosting Stephen Webster, the well-known English designer, often defined as the sector’s “rockstar”, who has brought a breath of youthfulness and turmoil to the British jewellery world.
His lengthy history in the world of jewellery started from a course for aspiring jewellers in Kent and has led to international jet-set celebrities. Nowadays, his loyal customers are of such calibre as Kate Moss, Jay-Z, Johnny Depp and Cameron Diaz, to mention but a few, as well as Madonna, for whom he has designed several rings.
“A great jewellery artist - declares Federica Frosini - who has revolutionized aesthetics and a way of speaking to women with never conventional, amusing, whimsical, decisive and dreamy jewellery. A language that has successfully challenged a creative code where jewellery is anchored to classic balance, but which Stephen Webster has managed to overturn”.
Lastly, the new market trend theme must include one of the most highly-anticipated events of the Vicenza Show: the presentation of TrendBook 2021+ at the seminar given by TRENDVISION Jewellery + Forecasting, the world’s first independent research centre specialized in jewellery trends and consumer attitudes, headed by Paola De Luca, the international luxury scene analyst.
