This year's Red Carpet Collection by Chopard is nothing short of spectacular. Comprising necklaces, earrings, rings, jewellery watches, brooches, and bracelets, with the theme "Chopard loves cinema" weaved throughout, the collection pays tribute to films that bear significant presence on the silver screen. Most notably, filmmaker Charlie Chaplin's mark is felt in a majority of the Haute Joaillerie creations. Caroline Scheufele, co-president and artistic director of Chopard, explains why.

"Charlie Chaplin is pretty much the beginning of the world of cinema," Scheufele speaks live from the 75th Cannes Film Festival, during a virtual session with media. "When I left Cannes last year, I was thinking about what was going to be next year's scene and then I saw the entrance of the cinema and all these photographers and cameramen left and right, and I immediately said, 'It's cinema.' So, the inspiration of this year's collection is 75 iconic movies from the past, from all around the world, but obviously, the one that inspired it most is Charlie Chaplin."
