Last month, contemporary master jeweller Fabergé approached me to collaborate on a project and I can finally share the result. Filmed by my extraordinary talented film director/producer brother Oz Thakkar, we created a 50-second short, ‘Regeneration’ – telling the story of knowledge and faith through the meditative embrace of the Fabergé’s legendary coloured gemstones.
We filmed at Fabergé’s London Boutique and fashion featured is by Dolce & Gabbana and Saint Laurent Paris courtesy of MRPORTER.COM. The Romanov necklace itself was previously worn by Lana Del Rey in a shoot with Solve Sundsbo for Vanity Fair and Mila Kunis in a recent Gemfields campaign shot by Mario Sorrenti), it is valued at £3.5million. The original score is by the inimitable Monarchy (you can see their video and single featuring Dita Von Teese here).
Special thanks to Jay Best, Lauren Morris, Alize Morand and Christopher MacDonald for helping make this come to life and to one of my favourite sites DesignScene for running the film as an exclusive.
