Bulgari appoints the supermodel and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for its handbag and eyewear collections. The new appointment coincides with the presentation of Bulgari’s fall/winter 2016 accessories collection in Milan. As the exquisite culmination of Bulgari’s Italian craftsmanship, Serpenti and Bulgari accessories are emboldened by the charismatic soul of the jeweller and both capture the audacious spirit of the brand. Combining versatile colour palettes inspired by precious gemstones, the collection is handcrafted of the luxurious materials.
Featured within the new collection is a stunning limited-edition Serpenti bejewelled handbag, inspired by an exquisite Bulgari necklace of rare gemstones. The renowned high jewellery piece belongs to the Bulgari heritage collection: today it has been re-interpreted into a magnificent handbag accessory. An obvious choice to accessorise a woman as stylish and beautiful as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Model, Huntington-Whiteley said: “To be named the new accessories ambassador for Bulgari – it is an incredible honour. I love the rich heritage of the Maison and its unwavering commitment to Italian craftsmanship and history. Whether I’m wearing one of their stunning watches, a pair of gorgeous earrings, or one of their beautifully made handbags, I feel as if they add a touch of glamour and elegance to whatever outfit I’m wearing. I am thrilled to be associated with a brand as inspiring as Bulgari.”
The Los Angeles-based British talent first came to the world’s attention when she was just 16 years old. Standing out for her extraordinary features, natural poise and magnetic beauty, she modelled for prestigious fashion campaigns, strutting the runways for major fashion houses across the world. She also is known for acting, following Huntington-Whiteley’s debut in the blockbuster Transformers: Dark of the Moon last year, she enthralled as the tragic Splendid Angharad in Mad Max: Fury Road – now in the running for Best Picture at this year’s Oscars.
