Dinh Van Paris: Where everyday objects are the inspiration for the jewellery. What you need to know about the brand and new addition to the iconic collection Pulse.
ByBellaZofia
Dinh Van Paris is a French luxury jewellery brand founded in Paris in 1965 by Jean Dinh Van. The Maison was created as an alternative to classical Place Vendôme jewellers in the 1960s. Jean Dinh Van started his career at Cartier in 1950 working on high jewelry collections. Disillusioned with long-established jewellery norms, he decided to follow his instinct and create his own brand. His vision: is to offer jewellery for everyone and everyday wear, inspired by daily objects, which redefine the new standards of contemporary jewellery. At Dinh Van, we create jewellery that may be worn on all occasions. Thanks to this versatility, Dinh Van is the ultimate French luxury brand and the very “best-kept secret of Paris.”

My visit to Dinh Van Boutique in Geneva.
Last month I had a pleasure to visit Dinh Van Boutique in Geneva and choose pieces that I will love. I focused on versatile pieces that will go with many outfits. That can be easily stacked together and also that can be my everyday jewellery that is more elevated and high quality. I loved the small and charming boutique near the Place du Molard. While sipping coffee I could see all the different pieces and select my favourites.
The choice was not easy but I made a nice selection and you can see it in the video and photos below.

Finding your fashion style is a journey of self-discovery. However, it can also be overwhelming
and confusing. We live in interesting times. Our social media news feeds offer endless fashion
inspirations that can influence how we dress. But it’s not just models that we are taking
inspiration from anymore.
SS22 Trends that I loved during MFW and PFW .I am very excited about SS22’s Fashion Trends. What I have seen at the runways in Milan and Paris last September made me feel more optimistic. Designers create with the desire to bring positivity, effortlessness and sexyness. They propose more glamour and extravagant pieces. However, they also take into consideration that we need more ready-to-wear, simple yet gorgeous and luxurious pieces that we can easily put together and wear anytime. They keep in mind that easy is not only comfortable but also fabulous.
L’Escalet – is a Geneva-based brand that I first discovered 3 years ago. Every once in a while, I had a look at their new beautiful pieces and their new collections. However, in September 2023 I received an invitation from Caterina (the founder) to visit her lovely showroom based in the Eaux-Vives. During our coffee and talks, she told me about her new campaign and that I would perfectly fit into it. So that’s how I became part of the La Dolce Vita / Riviera project.
March was full of wonderful moments and one of the events took place in Geneva. The Watches and Wonders exhibition brought an extraordinary atmosphere of innovation, passion and creation to the city. During the week of Watches and Wonders, a lot of famous people could be encountered all over the city: David Beckham for Tudor, Julia Roberts for Chopard or Lucien Laviscount for Bulgari.
Italian Shoe brand Luciano Padovan is the brand that makes us dream. Shoes that dress the fit like a beautiful gown. They make us inspired at the same time being comfortable for the feet and meant for walking. This all-Italian heritage brand was created in 1997 by Luciano Padovan with models that were ultra-feminine. Sensual, colourful, and characterized by a strong personality of a woman. No wonder that soon they were featured in “Sex and the city” set next to Manolo Blahnik and Louboutin.
MFW SS20- Best Street Style Looks. My friends, during Milan Fashion Week I was mostly wearing collections from Style Story a boutique based in Rolle, near Geneva. I love the concept of this boutique. It’s by appointments only, rental of dresses, image consulting, but there are also new collections for sale. Mostly from Italian brands: dresses, handbags and accessories. The very cosy atelier is located on the main street of this small, Swiss town and is owned by Laura. A lovely lady with great fashion taste. She was the one who helped me to choose looks from her collection that you will see in the photos below.
