According to the South China Morning Post, the new pieces added to the signature line, which debuted in 2010, incorporate a pear-shaped motif, intended for individuals who reflect the free spirit, taste, and elegance of the historical figure from whom it is inspired.
Joséphine de Beauharnais, who served as Empress of France between 1804 and 1810 during her marriage to Emperor Napoleon I, is regarded as one of the most recognizable figures in French history. She was known as a benchmark for style, recognized for her support of the arts and her refined taste, as she gathered creative individuals around her and aided in shaping their endeavors.
As an innovator, she redefined the artistic inclinations of her time, establishing the highly influential empire style in both architecture and decorative arts, utilizing her own estate, the Château de Malmaison near Paris, as the setting for an aesthetic transformation.
