In the preparation of their much-anticipated trunk show in our LA Store, Iris de La Villardière and Thomas Montier Leboucher (the designers of Viltier) curated a guest edit of their favorite BE pieces and what they plan on bringing with them on their trip from Paris to the sunny West Coast. Read the full interview on the blog and come meet them at our event on April 25th!
What pieces are you especially loving right now and why?
Thomas Montier Leboucher : The edge bangle with diamonds. I found it hard for me as a man to wear jewelry at first. It has now been 5 years since we launched Viltier, and the more the years pass the more I feel at ease with diamonds and gold. With its avalanche of diamonds but set on the edge, this bracelet is the exact kind of jewelry I like to wear on a daily basis: precious but subtle.
Iris de La Villardière : I am obsessed with my clique riviere. It's my daily essential. It's easy to wear - I can dress it up or down, I love the weight of the gold and it's so flexible I can barely feel it when I am wearing it all day!
How are you styling some of these jewels personally?
Thomas: I wear my bracelet stacked with another edge bangle, two max, and I mix it with some brazilian wish bracelets that Camille from the office brought me back from one of her trips!
Iris: I wear my clique riviere everyday with a loose white shirt, some jeans, flats and I love to add a blazer. I also layer it with a magnetic XL chain and a turquoise cabochon to add a pop of color to my outfit
What are some essentials you’ll be packing to LA for the event?
Thomas: I'll pack my new shirts from Rubirosas and Tribute, the two coolest Paris shirt brands created by the Rubinski's, a good sunscreen from Sisley and my mules from The Row.
Iris: Like Thomas I'll also bring my Rubirosa's shirts. I also have a few Doen pieces that I feel are very “Brentwood” and probably my new Chanel shoes that are very summery.
Are there some trends you’re really into right now?
Thomas: Lately I have been obsessing about vintage watches which I was not really into before. I’m starting the process of getting one… Maybe in LA!
Iris: Red, red, red! I have always been into the color red but this season even more.
What about springtime are you most excited about?
Thomas: Biking around Paris in the spring is my favorite thing ever. Besides the pollen in my eyes.
Iris: Just enjoying a nice lunch with my mom or friends on a Paris terrace is really what I have been looking forward to!
