What do you miss most about your skin?

This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the wonderful collaboration with the Cannes Film Festival. The relationship started when I redesigned the Palme d’Or Prize Cup and has blossomed ever since. So you can say that the skin is very special to me. Momentary cinema and cultural noise, of course; The festival is a unique occasion for the world’s most talented actors, directors and other professionals in the film industry to come together and showcase their work. For me, an avid cinephile, the 11 days that revolve around the cinema are heaven. Plus there’s an atmosphere like no other, the beautiful setting of the French Riviera, interesting and exciting people, delicious food, what can’t you miss?

Which restaurant did you miss?

The Petit Maison. I love walking around there, it always has wonderful food, music and a fantastic atmosphere. This is definitely my restaurant to bring friends. I also like to dine on the terrace of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, they have a breathtaking view of the sea.

Last year the skin was in July; This year, he returned in May. Any advantage?

May! Because we have so many cool things, we can’t wait! As you know, it all started with the new Golden Palm Cup and over the years we have been increasingly involved in new projects such as the Trophée Chopard. It is awarded annually to young and novice actors and actresses to further their careers.

Also, every year during the festival we open our famous collection of red carpets. The collection is designed specifically for skin and we are so proud that some of the most stylish and beautiful actors in the world walk the red carpet with our creations; It’s a truly adventurous experience for us. This year is special because it’s the festival’s 75th anniversary, so we’ve created 75 unique handcrafted jewels inspired by my favorite movie moments. The name of the collection is “Chopard Loves Cinema” and it was revived by our amazing artisans in our High Jewelery workshop in Geneva.

The strangest request you’ve had on your skin?

I was lucky enough to meet her several times and dress Elizabeth Taylor. A true movie legend who loved beautiful jewelry and stones, she sometimes had a hard time choosing pieces because she loved them! One afternoon we were faced with a dilemma. She couldn’t choose between the two beautiful Chopard earrings, so she asked us to find a way to match them! We managed to find a cool way to connect them and came out adorned with both pairs.

Your “single skin” moment?

Climb the legendary red carpet stairs. When you walk up the stairs and turn around, you are immersed in an electrified atmosphere; Hundreds of tuxedo-clad photographers yelled at the actors and actresses for attention, flashing camera lights, bright dresses and adrenaline in the air. This is a unique and magical moment whose life and experience you can only find on the skin.

Guilty pleasure skin?

Enjoy magnificent views from the popcorn ceiling while enjoying a cocktail at Hotel Martinez. This is The In Cannes and we were lucky enough to call him home throughout the festival and welcome him to our friends.

One thing you wouldn’t travel without, besides your phone?

My dog, Byron! He follows me everywhere.

What do you like most about the festival?

I have so many favorite things about skin that it’s hard to choose. Perhaps a great sense of pride during the Golden Palm Awards ceremony when our Chopard Design Cup is handed out.
