When in London
Founders and designers Fernando Jorge and Melissa Morris welcomed guests for an exclusive preview of their collaboration in London. Located in Mayfair, Fernando Jorge’s studio made a fitting venue to preview the collection since it’s where all the elegant jewelled finishing was designed and where the gemstones are inserted by hand.
An Exclusive Preview
The culmination of both brands, blending fluid sensuality with architectural lines, the limited capsule features travel jewellery cases in rich, buttery suede, and four day-to-evening handbags enhanced with exquisite jewelled detailing in gold, solid brass, and black enamel.
The Setting
Guests mingled over drinks and canapés in Jorge’s studio and experienced the collaboration first-hand.
A Parisian Affair
Held during Paris Fashion Week, the celebration for the special collection continued as we invited friends to a drinks reception and intimate dinner at Alfred.
Unveiling The Collaboration Pieces
‘I think what’s rare about both of our brands, and I think really allows collaboration to work so well is we don’t have pressures on time for seasons and specific moments. We allowed it to build and grow really organically’. - Melissa Morris
The Setting
Situated in the heart of Paris on rue du Mont-Thabor, our friends enjoyed a very flatteringly lit dinner at Alfred, featuring a simple, but refined menu of delicious French classics, all amid a touch of a Mondrian interior.
Placement
Awaiting each guest was a handwritten personal message presented under the wax seal of the collaboration’s logo and their name written in calligraphy on the card.
