A CREATOR Jade Jagger

A CREATOR
Born in Paris in 1971, Jade Jagger is
today a universally recognised artist
for her jewellery creations and she is
also known in the fashion and design
world.
Jade’s childhood was marked by the
New-Yorkese pop art, at its height in
those days. The Factory, Andy Warhol’s renowned workshop, inspired
and nourished her talent for painting.
When the artist talks about Jade, he
humorously recalls his meeting with
her: "I like Mick and Bianca but Jade
and I are cast in the same mould. I
taught her to paint and she in turn
taught me how to play Monopoly. She
was four when I was forty-four.”

Jade started her artistic career at the
end of the 1980s. After having studied
painting in Florence and reaped some
success in various exhibitions, her free
and dynamic mind prompted her to
found Jade Inc. and launch upon the
creation of jewellery inspired by fantasy and bohemian colours. Her creations, at first, exclusively marketed by
the Paul Smith boutiques, aroused the
interest of numerous well-known enterprises such as Maxfields, Bergdorf
Goodman, Barneys, Colette, Browns,
The Cross and A La Mode. Jade Inc.
then became an international concern.
In 2000, its success impressed Asprey
& Garrard, an important British jeweller’s shop which proposed that Jagger
become its artistic director. This fruitful collaboration lasted for six years.
En 2004, Jade and the designer Tom
Bartlett, her long-time partner, joined
John Hitchcox, Philippe Starck and
the Yoo brands to create luxury apartments the world over. With Jade being
the arts director of the concept “Jade
Jagger for Yoo”, the first residential
development project “The Jade”, in
New York, was born and was followed
by “The Lakes”, in the Cotswolds, one
of the most sought for places in England. She also realized various Yoo
projets in Marrakech and in Bombay.
In 2008, Jade conceived a precious ice
pick “Jagger Dagger” in platinum and
lapis-lazuli, designed for the Vodka
Belvedere brand, which was successfully launched internationally.
Not satisfied with creating magnificent jewellery and sumptuous interiors
in the four corners of the earth, Jade
also tried her hand at fashion design,
drawing original models which are now
sold side by side with her line of jewellery in the first shop that bears her
name and was inaugurated in November 2009 in All Saints Road, in the west
of London, as well as in the Jade Jagger Beach Boutique, a seasonally open
space in the north of Goa, in India.
Finally, in 2010, Guerlain called on
Jade’s talent and asked her to redesign the bottle of its famous Shalimar
perfume. Two exceptional bottles were
designed on that occasion, with handfashioned tops adorned with sapphires
and “polka” diamonds.
Jade’s special sensitivity allied to her
taste for luxury, lavishness and simplicity has won her recognition on the
part of critics, in papers and magazines
all over the world.

To find inspiration to design the label
for such an exceptional wine as Croix de
Beaucaillou, I turned to the jewel like
quality that wine possesses in the French
culture and tradition. Translating personal
notions of style and beauty that enhance
our perceptions of pleasure and taste, my
design represents the elegance,finesse and
depth of Croix; executed with a lightness
and conviviality that sharing such a wine
should bring to the spirit.
