When Day Meets Night
Messika presented its latest High Jewelry designs with a stunning show this Paris Fashion Week, building on the inspiration behind its Midnight Sun collection with Opus II. Blending technical skill with abundant creativity, Valérie Messika challenged conventional norms with an unexpected selection of pieces – including lip jewelry, harnesses, headpieces and nail charms – to reflect a liberated and carefree vision of High Jewelry.

An All-Star Cast
Iconic models and friends of the Maison, like Taylor Hill and Cindy Bruna, paraded around a striking, giant panoramic cube. In a nod to the 80s aesthetic inspiring the show, Paris Jackson – daughter of the legendary King of Pop – captivated the audience with her bewitching looks.
Close friends and A-list celebrities gathered on the front row: Cardi B, Natalia Vodianova, Isabelle Adjani, Lucien Laviscount, Future, Nina Dobrev, Cole Sprouse, Balqees Al Fathi, Heidi Klum, MIYEON, Simon Gong and more. They all joined Valérie Messika in an immersive sound box of a setting, the show energised by the greatest French electro house hits.
Hypnotic Pieces
The showstopping “Fragments of Time” necklace, modelled by the iconic Eva Herzigova, was the grand finale among 125 original designs. For this unique diamond rivière, Valérie Messika dared to combine a sumptuous 36-carat yellow diamond with a 33-carat white diamond: two spectacular gems harmoniously arranged on an haute couture diamond tie, further weaving the fashion world into that of High Jewelry. This piece alone features 232 diamonds for a dazzling total of 129 carats.
"This show goes beyond jewelry; it embodies the essence of our Maison. It is an exceptional moment powered by music and fashion. It reflects our energy and singularity, which drive us to continuously create our High Jewelry pieces as true fashion statements."
