Clash de Cartier: Mastering the art of duality

Clash de Cartier is a chic balancing act, a mix, and match of aristocratic codes, which uses Maison’s aesthetic of studs, beads and clous carrés .The collection also takes a swipe at protocol, tradition, and liberty – it’s a clash of attitudes. Impressively, Clash de Cartier is a contradiction of opposing sides, but it’s brilliant enough to put them together in a way that really confirms the saying that “opposites attract.” The pieces are sharp and yet soft to the touch. Geometrically shaped but generously sized and feminine. Mechanically assembled and yet free to move.
