Art is the foundation of David Yurman. It is the story of the company’s beginning and its future. Founded by two artists, David and Sybil Yurman, in New York in 1980, the family-owned jewelry brand is rooted in artistic inspiration, craftsmanship and unconventional yet elegant designs. Since its beginning, the Yurmans have maintained a unique and unwavering take on luxury—relaxed and uniquely American.

Milan, 1984: a plaque outside a small office shows the surnames Dolce&Gabbana, almost as if it were a professional studio. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, with only two million lire in their pockets, thus began to write the history of the brand that they would have founded shortly after, in 1985, giving life to an all-Italian dream made up of craftsmanship, tailoring tradition, Mediterranean culture, innovation instinct and a pinch of irony. The first clothing collections would follow over time with a wide and varied offer, an expression of dedication, study and research: a virtuous path that culminates in 2012 with the dream of high fashion.

Behind every Dolce&Gabbana creation lie the secrets of many crafts, the devotion to work, attention to detail and love for beauty. After more than thirty-five years, Dolce&Gabbana continues to be inspired by Italian art, traditions and culture by offering clothes, accessories, jewelry and watches that embody a unique heritage of knowledge and emotions.

Guerlain is the Parisian alchemist that pursues an infinite quest for wonder of senses and crafts artistic beauty from Nature, since 1828. As a House of High Perfumery and High Cosmetics, it elevated bespoke to the level of Art. This is what makes it exceptional.

Since 1828, the history of the House of Guerlain has been distinguished by major creations whose contemporary and innovative spirit have marked and traversed the ages. Some of these creations remain references in contemporary beauty to this day.

Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain made the opening of his first boutique on rue de Rivoli in Paris in 1828 his founding act. It quickly became an elegant meeting place, where the Parisian beau monde and rich English travellers flocked to acquire creams, makeup and fragrances.

Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain dedicated the Eau de Cologne Impériale to Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, thus earning him the title “Official Perfumer to His Majesty”. He entrusted the Pochet du Courval glassworks with the manufacture of a bottle adorned with the Empire's bees, painted in fine gold, and a festoon motif, inspired by the Vendôme column. The Bee Bottle was born.

At 68 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the Guerlain family built their hôtel particulier in 1914, a magnificent building registered in the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques (the French Supplementary Historic Monument List). This boutique marked the beginning of the House's expansion, from Paris to, today, the four corners of the world.

Christian Dior described himself as a fashion and perfume designer. The House of Dior, founded in 1946, changed the face of ladies’ style forever when its New Look was unveiled in the halls of 30 Avenue Montaigne on February 12, 1947. The revolutionary look was accompanied by a fragrance, Miss Dior, the finishing touch designed to “leave a trail of desire in a woman’s wake”. This timeless perfume was the first fragrance created by a visionary brand which invented the concept of global beauty with its Rouge Dior and subsequent cosmetic lines.

The current-day trustees of this legendary expertise – Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creation Director, and Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup – are the heirs to Christian Dior’s perfectionism. The worldwide renown of the House’s creations is partly down to its seductive muses, including Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Robert Pattinson.
