With every new collection Bulgari makes us wonder about the new face that will represent its distinctive style. The appointment of actress and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as the new ambassador of the house’s handbag and eyewear collection coincided with the presentation of the Fall/Winter 2016-17 accessories collection in Milan.

Capturing the boldness of the house, the new handcrafted Serpenti and Bvlgari Bvlgari accessories were a mix of a versatile color palette inspired by gemstones, Italian craftsmanship, jewelry spirit and precious materials. The new collection also featured an amazing limited-edition Serpenti Bejewelled handbag that finds its inspiration in a sophisticated Bulgari necklace of rare gemstones from the Bulgari Heritage collection.

“To be named the new Accessories Ambassador for Bulgari, it is an incredible honor,” said Huntington-Whiteley. “I love the rich heritage of the Maison and its unwavering commitment to Italian craftsmanship and history. Whether I am wearing one of their stunning watches, a pair of gorgeous earrings, or one of their beautifully made handbags, I feel as if they add a touch of glamour and elegance to whatever outfit I’m wearing. I am thrilled to be associated with a brand as inspiring as Bulgari.”
