The Serpenti sheds its skin to allow for further growth and this idea of metamorphosis became the inspiration for our collaboration. Everyone experiences their own journey of growth and we all go through some type of metamorphosis through life. It is the reason Serpenti holds so much meaning.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Through Haute Couture craftsmanship, maximalist style cues and playful jewelry-inspired touches, Katrantzou introduces three new styles \u2013 the Serpenti Metamorphosis bag, the Serpenti Metamorphosis Handle bag and the Serpenti Metamorphosis minaudi\u00e8re. The three luxury pieces make up the next chapter in the \u201cSerpenti Through the Eyes of\u201d saga, conceptualized by the Roman jeweler.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_189128\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189128\" style=\"width: 2786px\" class=\"wp-caption alignfull -width -width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-189128 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-02-16_bvlgari_MK100537_FUOCO-BIANCA_G-copia.jpg\" alt=\"Bvlgari\" width=\"2786\" height=\"2090\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-189128\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Supplied<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To truly understand the extent of detail applied on each piece is to appreciate the hours of work needed to hand-make each style. Each Serpenti Metamorphosis bag takes a skilled artisan of the Montex Atelier in Paris and the Bvlgari manufacturer in Florence more than 40 hours to make. The three-dimensional embroidery is perhaps most reflective of the designer&#8217;s own work, its whimsical print depicting a spectacular flurry of butterflies which emerge from a coiled snake.<\/p>\n<p>The Serpenti Metamorphosis Handle bag features a soft nappa body and the Serpenti head which evolves into a full body to form the bag&#8217;s stunning gold handle. For added versatility and true to the notion of &#8220;metamorphosis,&#8221; it can transform into a crossbody style by removing the handle and attaching an exquisite golden chain strap.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_189127\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189127\" style=\"width: 2786px\" class=\"wp-caption alignfull -width -width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-189127 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-02-16_bvlgari_MK100467_BASE-FUOCO-ROSA_G-copia.jpg\" alt=\"Bvlgari\" width=\"2786\" height=\"2090\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-189127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Supplied<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lastly, Katrantzou draws design cues from the Bvlgari Serpenti watch, thus making it the first to be translated into a minaudi\u00e8re. The scales of a snake are reimagined by black and white hexagons meticulously layered to form a serpent head.<\/p>\n<p>The accompanying campaign is lensed by French fashion photographer Hugo Comte and modeled by Russian philanthropist and beauty icon Natalia Vodianova, wearing Haute Couture jumpsuits especially created by Mary Katrantzou for the occasion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_189130\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-189130\" style=\"width: 3066px\" class=\"wp-caption alignfull -width -width\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-189130 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BVLGARI_210212_HCOMTE_010_246_o.jpg\" alt=\"Bvlgari\" width=\"3066\" height=\"3000\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-189130\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Supplied<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018\u2018I immediately knew Natalia had to be the face,&#8221; says Katrantzou. &#8220;We both felt it would be wonderful to also partner with her charity, the Naked Heart Foundation, to support their cause and communicate with our collaboration about the power of design to be meaningful. Her grace, generosity of spirit, and compassion embodied all the values Bvlgari and I stand for. She is a mother, a wife, an entrepreneur and a philanthropist and to me that\u2019s the face of strength.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-17914-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BULGARI_MK_20_16X9_ALT_LOGO.mp4?_=1\" \/><\/video><\/div>\n<p>The collection also features a series of limited-edition scarves.
