Cartier recently made a significant announcement, revealing that acclaimed American actor Timothée Chalamet is now their newest Friend of the House. Displaying his partnership with the prestigious luxury brand, Chalamet astounded fans and fashion enthusiasts alike at the premiere of his film Dune at the renowned Venice International Film Festival. Donning a carefully selected range of vintage Cartier pieces, the actor’s collaboration with the brand also brings Cartier to the forefront as the festival’s main official partner for the duration of the event, which will be taking place from September 1 to 11 this year.
Renowned for his unparalleled fashion sense, Chalamet has frequently been recognized as one of the world’s most stylish men. In February 2020, he made waves at the semi-virtual Academy Awards with his dazzling choice to wear a magnificent 1955 Cartier brooch adorning 117 diamonds, rubies, white gold, and platinum. Now, as a Friend of the House, Chalamet will be closely collaborating with Cartier on a range of events and public appearances.
Arnaud Carrez, the Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Cartier, commended Chalamet’s passion, independence, open-mindedness, and creativity, all of which perfectly resonate with the brand’s core values. This partnership is seen as a representation of the actor’s fearless approach to life, as seen in both his professional choices and free-spirited style.
In addition to his role in Dune, Chalamet’s schedule is jam-packed with several upcoming film releases. He will be starring in highly anticipated projects such as Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch and Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up. Recently, he completed filming for the Luca Guadagnino-directed Bones And All and is preparing to embark on the production of Wonka, directed by Paul King. Furthermore, Chalamet has been enlisted to portray the legendary Bob Dylan in the film Going Electric, helmed by James Mangold. It is worth noting that his breakthrough performance came in Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name, a heartfelt tale of first love that earned him a Best Actor nomination at the Oscars, making him the youngest actor to receive such recognition in nearly eight decades.
The partnership between Cartier and Timothée Chalamet not only solidifies the brand’s dedication to collaborating with influential figures in the entertainment industry, but also serves as a tribute to the actor’s distinctive sense of style and his ability to captivate audiences, both on and off the screen. With this collaboration, Cartier effortlessly upholds its position as a frontrunner in luxury and timeless elegance.
