With an incredible talent for drawing and sketching all of her own high jewellery creations, Harumi Klossowska de Rola did not originally pursue a formal career in the arts. It wasn't until landing a PR job at John Galliano's studio in rue de la Roquette, did her talent and vocation flourish. Encouraged by a friend, Harumi created her first high jewellery collection with semi-precious stones and Chinese silk trimmings. This led to a series of high jewellery pieces for Boucheron's 150th anniversary, and Harumi's animal-themed collaboration with Chopard began thereafter.
