Bulgari has joined hands with famed shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood, twice named Accessories Designer of the year at the British Fashion awards, for the latest Serpenti Forever capsule collection of iconic bags. Kirkwood’s interpretation of the serpent theme in this capsule collection produces stunning results. The already distinctive Bulgari Serpenti Forever bags with their iconic enameled snakehead clasps take on the sculptural and architectural forms that Kirkwood is known for, in unconventional and daring ways. Sinuous zigzags make themselves noticed on a canvas of artisanal leather, calling to mind the signature scales and sinuous movements of the serpent. Kirkwood created the chevron patterns using rubberized studs with faceted ends, which apparently reminded him of diamond settings and some of the spectacular gemstones he had seen in the Bulgari High Jewellery atelier in Rome. The limited edition Bulgari Serpenti Forever by Nicholas Kirkwood capsule collection comes in gemstone inspired colour palette of black and white, pink spinel, royal sapphire and gold, and will debut at Bulgari’s Marina Bay Sands Singapore boutique in September. The price is expected to range from S$1,470 to S$3,980.
