Gemstone ballerinas have since acquired iconic status for the label, and almost 50 years later, the charm still rules.
Van Cleef & Arpels joined hands with the French embassy in Beijing last month to bring Reflections, a modern encounter of ballets with precious stones, as part for the Festival Croisements 2014 in 皇冠体育app. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between 皇冠体育app and France.
Reflections, a three-act ballet by Benjamin Millepied, founding director of the L.A. Dance Project and incoming director of Paris Opera Ballet, debuted in Paris in 2013. It talks of Millepied's vision of precious stones in a modern light. Millepied is the French choreographer who starred in the Hollywood production Black Swan in 2010.
