Malaysia’s leading fashionista reveals her favourite gemstone, the story of how she conquered Bhutan's Tiger Nest and who her movie star girl crush is
Amidst the scenic Himalayan mountains, Marion Caunter herself cut a striking figure in her ochre-coloured kira—a traditional Bhutanese women’s attire. Her beauty was further enhanced by the Bulgari Cinemagia high jewellery collection.
The confident co-owner of Marna Ro Capital and Hairplay Salon was in Bhutan, one of the happiest places on Earth, on the invitation of Bulgari to witness the launch of aforementioned jewellery. We caught with her to find out her thoughts on travelling, jewellery and her style inspiration, Cate Blanchett whom Bulgari often dresses for the red carpet.
What are your favourite memories in Bhutan during the launch of Cinemagia?
Bhutan has always been on my bucket list but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. I treasured every moment—from the surreal scenery to the unbelievably gorgeous jewellery from Bulgari’s Cinemagia collection. If there's one experience that stands out it's conquering the Tiger’s Nest trail that leads to an ancient monastery. My goal now to do the trail with my three kids and (husband) Nasa.
What do you think about the Bulgari Cinemagia collection?
I felt like a kid in a candy store. Every piece was fun, full of personality, edgy and timeless. I can imagine myself wearing these pieces 20 or 30 years from now. But ultimately what I love about the collection is that the pieces look even more beautiful when you wear them. Seeing them on display does not do them justice.
