Rocks to riches

Using Lino Bo Bardi’s book Stones Against Diamonds as inspiration, Julien and his team ventured to remote glacial caves in Iceland to capture the semi-precious stones that inhabit them. Actress Vanessa Myrie is filmed as she takes viewers on a journey through an alien landscape of ice and rock, which adopts a strangely meditative quality. ‘The cave can be read as a metaphor of the unconscious, a place of rich beauty, but difficult to access except through the processes of psychoanalysis and artistic reflection,’ Julien commented in an official statement.

The Big Picture: Stage five of the Luxury Matrix is about challenging your consumers on an intellectual, emotional and spiritual level. By questioning the very definition of luxury, brands can reflect their consumers’ introspection.
