Combining delicate, aristocratic beauty with genuineness, good humour and confidence, Brazilian English actress Kaya Scodelario embodies the very attitude and flair of Clash de Cartier.
Earlier this year, fine jewellery and luxury watchmaker Cartier appointed Kaya Scodelario as the face of its new Clash de Cartier jewellery line. It is a collection that sees the brand exploring the theme of “duality” with jewellery pieces — earrings, necklaces and rings — crafted in 4N pink gold.
Scodelario, who is of Brazilian and English descent, is the ideal candidate to front the campaign according to Arnaud Carrez, international marketing and communications director at Cartier. “What we love about Kaya is the meeting of two cultures: a Latin American raised in England,” he shares. “Kaya cultivates two facets of the same energy in a stylish balancing act, a creative duel between serious and quirky.”
In an interview with T Singapore, the 27-year-old actress, who has starred in box office hits such as “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” and the “Maze Runner” film series, talks about the first piece of jewellery she ever owned, how she approaches roles, and her stance on feminism in Hollywood.
JACK WANG: What was the very first piece of jewellery you owned?
KAYA SCODELARIO: The very first piece of jewellery I ever owned was my father’s cufflinks. They were given to me after he passed away. I’ve kept them very safe all this time. Another one is an antique perfume bottle necklace that my husband bought for me when we were falling in love.
