ELIZABETH TAYLOR AND DELVAUX A “CAPRICE”

Here, amidst the architectural marvels and creative showcases, Taylor falls in love with Belgium. Back in Hollywood, she encounters a magnificent object in the window of a boutique, resplendent in a bright emerald green. Its bold, geometric shape, sculptural lines and radical colour choice catch her famous violet eyes. Known for her love of exquisite jewels and carefully crafted objects, Taylor knows she must have it.

This object is, of course, le Caprice, sparking her deep appreciation for Delvaux’s creations over the years, always drawn to its exceptional designs and unrestrained originality, which mirrored her own

Recently, Delvaux’s design studio rediscovered this very Caprice in an auction catalogue of Elizabeth Taylor’s most cherished possessions. Hot-stamped with her unmistakable initials “E.T.”, with its interiors bearing the markings of a life well-spent, it solidifed its place as an object of both historical and artistic importance.

The auction served as a testament to Taylor’s impeccably confident taste and Delvaux’s enduring influence once again at the center of a story about referential style and innovation.
