JOURNALIST

As a luxury journalist, Laurie reports each year from the CANNES Film Festival-  ‘A DAY IN DIAMONDS’

THE 66TH CANNES FILM FESTIVAL IN MAY WAS AT ITS DAZZLING BEST, AS LAURIE WICKWIRE REFLECTS- IT IS WHERE MOVIES & JEWELS COLLIDE WITH BREATHTAKING RESULTS…

As the first warm breezes sweep down the Croisette in early May, it is time once again for the great, the good and the hopeful to converge on Cannes from around the world.

Ostensibly, the serious purpose is to watch the directors’ silver-screened jewels compete for the Palme d’Or, but glamour has many facets and in Cannes two stellar worlds collide. The gilt-edged glitterati of the jewellery world lace the festival’s edges with lavish parties, black tie events and beach soirées. Draped around the necks of star-studded talent, luxury jewellery has become a major showcase and attraction at this salubrious festival.
