Nice designs from Lorenz Bäumer for Louis Vuitton’s jewelry division.
When Louis Vuitton appointed Lorenz Bäumer artistic director of its fine-jewelry division late last year, the choice proved a serendipitous one. Although Bäumer’s reputation as one of the most influential independent jewelers won him the honor of creating the French fashion house’s first high-jewelry collection, he brought to the project personal experience that made him uniquely suited to capture the spirit of the world’s most exclusive producer of luggage and leather goods. “First and foremost, Louis Vuitton evokes a love of travel, escapism, and dreams,” says the jeweler, who, as the son of a diplomat, traveled the world extensively throughout his youth. – From Robb Report
