<p><strong>Bvlgari</strong> opens a new creative dialogue this Fall/Winter 2025/2026 through <strong>Serpenti</strong> <strong>in Conversation,</strong> a reimagined platform that invites contemporary voices to reinterpret one of its most enduring emblems. Guided by <strong>Mary Katrantzou</strong>, Bvlgari’s Leather Goods and Accessories Creative Director, the series debuts with <strong>Géraldine Guyot</strong>, founder and Creative Director of <strong>DESTREE</strong>, as its first collaborator.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17597431229255.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>What began as<strong> Serpenti Through the Eyes Of </strong>i<strong></strong>n 2017—an invitation for artists and designers to reinterpret Bvlgari’s icons—has evolved under Katrantzou into something more intimate. It’s now a creative exchange between minds, where craft meets conversation, and heritage meets innovation.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:808px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1759743136862Mary - Geraldine (1).jpeg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Mary Katrantzou, Bvlgari’s Leather Goods and Accessories Creative Director and Géraldine Guyot of DESTREE </span></span></span></div><p>At the heart of this collaboration lies Serpenti, the ever-shifting symbol of transformation and renewal. Inspired by Greco-Roman mythology, the serpent has long embodied Bvlgari’s instinct for reinvention: fluid, sensual, and eternally in motion.</p><p>When Katrantzou first reinterpreted the icon in 2021, she introduced Serpentine, a sculptural top handle cast in precious metal that traced the serpent’s sinuous body. That bold design became the foundation for future reinterpretations, including Guyot’s</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17597431855244.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>For her conversation with Bvlgari, Géraldine Guyot revisited the Serpentine Top Handle through the lens of DESTREE’s architectural precision and art-world sensibility. She drew from passementerie, the intricate, handcrafted trims that define DESTREE’s identity and was once used in Bvlgari’s early jewelry pieces to suspend pendants.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17597432016632.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>This motif is reborn in golden, curvilinear detailing created using electroforming, a technique from fine jewelry that allows volume without weight. </p><p>Proposed in nubuck leather and satin, the new Serpentine feels both tactile and timeless. Its curves suggest the serpent’s form—present, yet abstract. The icon continues to evolve, shedding its skin while keeping its soul.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175974336876425-36270.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Through Serpenti in Conversation, Mary Katrantzou positions Bvlgari as a platform for creative exchange, one that honors its Roman roots while amplifying modern voices. It’s an exploration of how timeless symbols can remain relevant through collaboration, diversity, and imagination.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/175974347178225-36302.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>The serpent speaks again, this time in the language of two women whose visions intertwine craft, conversation, and continuity.</p>
