“A global icon with striking features and a fiery temperament, Sasha Pivovarova represents my vision of a modern day heroine perfectly,” says jewellery designer Valérie Messika. “Captured by the lens of the renowned photographer Katja Rawles, Messika’s High Jewelry takes on a hint of punk rock attitude, resolutely rooted in the spirit of our times.”
The Russian model – who has previously fronted campaigns for the likes of John Galliano, Miu Miu and Prada – is the Parisian high jewellery brand’s latest face. Adorning fiery makeup and zesty clothing, Sasha brings the white and gold diamond focused pieces to life in imagery shot by Katja Rawles.
“For the photoshoot I like to get into character and was happy to learn that the inspiration for the Messika shooting was different fairy tales,” says Sasha. “With the help of my beauty team and the amazing designs from Messika I transformed from a sparkling Snow queen into an alluring Serena. Trying out different characters is always challenging and fun.”
