FOR THE 66TH CANNES FILM FESTIVAL, CHOPARD CREATED A SPECTACULAR AND APTLY NAMED 'RED CARPET' JEWELLERY COLLECTION.
Its very name 'Red Carpet' says it all.
The bling are stunningly designed and exquisitely crafted as expected from Chopard so it was not surprising some thieves broke into a Novotel hotel room to carry the safe containing RM 5 million worth of jewels! At least the robbers had good taste knowing Chopard produces only the best bling this side of observable universe!
But the best pieces were worth more than what was stolen so it was irritating but not a disaster.
Here are the Red Carpet collection worthy of Emperors, Kings and Queens!
The various stages of creation
Blanca
Suárez and Jeremy Irvine
For
the 12th edition of its Trophy, Chopard honours Blanca Suárez, the
delightful Madrid-born actress revealed by Pedro Almodóvar, and Jeremy Irvine,
the stubborn hero of War Horse. Here
are brief portraits of these up and coming talents in the world of the seventh
art.
Blanca
Suárez
Born on October 21st 1988 in Madrid, Blanca
Suárez is a fashion model and an actress. She began her career in television in
2007 with the popular Spanish series El
Internado (The Boarding School),
before taking her first steps on the big screen in a horror movie titled Shiver (Eskalofrio), directed by Isidoro Ortiz. This young lady has been in
the public eye ever since, gracing the fashion and beauty pages of various
women’s magazines as well as acting in a number of short films and series. Having caught the attention of
Pedro Almodóvar, she
became one of his new muses and acquired international recognition. In La piel que habito (The Skin I Live In) she is Norma, the depressive daughter of a
famous surgeon played by Antonio Banderas. Her performance earned her a
nomination for the Goya award for Best Young Actress. As well as starring in
the film director’s latest movie, Los
amantes pasajeros (literally passing/passenger lovers), a wild and
uninhibited comedy, the gorgeous Spaniard also features in Imanol Uribe’s Miel de naranjas (Orange Honey), a dramatic story set in 1950s Spain during the
Franco dictatorship.
Jeremy Irvine
It took just one film to propel Jeremy
Irvine to international stardom. At the age of 21, after studying at the London
Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and having made a few stage and TV
appearances, this young Briton was entrusted by Steven Spielberg with the main
role in War Horse (2011). In this
extraordinary story of friendship, the novice actor plays Albert, an adolescent
prepared to do anything to find again the horse his father sold to the army in
1914.
Since this brilliant first endeavour, the
actor has been involved in a number of major projects. He will soon be
appearing in another war film, The
Railway Man, directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, alongside Nicole Kidman and
Colin Firth. In it, he plays the role of the youthful Eric Lomax, an English
army officer captured by the Japanese during World War II and forced to work on
building a railroad running from Burma to Siam. Jeremy Irvine will also play
the leading role in Mike Newell’s new adaptation of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations, together with Helena
Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes.
