Boucheron Under the Bridge

On Monday night, as part of Boucheron's year-long celebration of its 150th anniversary, the house held an intimate viewing of Spiegelwordııs Desir show. Held at the South Street Seaport's Pier 17, it was followed by a casual party hosted by Vanessa Traina and Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld.

We then entered a 100-year-old mirrored tent and the show began. The theatrical story, inspired by Boucheronııs jewelry and history, was portrayed through jazzy costumes, acrobatic acts and beautiful jewelry imitating the house's iconic designs.
