HUBE Magazine: Rosalie Carlier
Rosalie Carlier is a jewellery designer whose career spans both fine art and high fashion. After studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, she has since worked in collaboration with Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier, D’heygere, Courrèges, and Diesel, designing pieces that rethink what adornment can do—not just as a sculpture, but as a mode of identity and expression.
Her recent work with Jacquemus has been some of her most bold, with her statement pieces featured throughout the collection as a whole, most notably the S25 Banana Earrings, which were not only a compelling accompaniment to the overall look, but ineffaceable. Central to her vision is the acclaimed Uniting Selves series—which appeared in her recent exhibition with Dover Street Market–interlocking chains that celebrate connection through the rejection of uniformity. By weaving this ethos into her high-fashion collaborations, Carlier brings radical altruism to jewellery design—ratifying it as both an ornament and provocation.
hube: What was your very first act of creation, and how did it set the foundation for the practice you have today?
Rosalie Carlier: That would probably be making clothes for my Barbie dolls as a kid. I remember waking up and feeling the urge to make something I had in my mind, to turn an idea into something tangible. This is when I discovered how much I enjoy working with my hands and the delight of seeing something come to life this way, which I still love. I used to draw a lot—mostly comic books with characters dressed in funny outfits. I was obsessed with comic books as a kid, and my dream was to become a comic book author.
