SPRING CLEAN

The new face of Chopard’s Happy Hearts jewellery and Happy Sport watch collections, Arizona Muse, talks style, femininity, strength and happiness.

Out with the old

You always wear a radiant smile. What lies behind this smile?

I think that what lies behind my smile is pretty simple: my family. My son makes me really happy, my life makes me happy, my husband makes me happy, my parents and others do too. I think that people are behind my smile.

Why do you love the Happy Hearts collections?

What I love best about the Happy Hearts collection is that the heart is the universal sign of love, so when you wear the Happy Hearts collection, you have love written all over you in every language.

The Happy collections epitomise strength and femininity. How do these two values meet and match as far as you are concerned?

I think that strength and femininity go hand in hand. I don’t think femininity is much unless it’s in conjunction with strength and I don’t think strength is much unless it’s in conjunction with femininity. Even for men this is true.

What would your ideal outfit be with a Happy Sport watch?

My ideal outfit with a Happy Sport watch would be one of those really cute white kind of retro-looking 1970s tennis outfits.

Happy is about joie de vivre and perpetual motion; is it important to wear jewellery that highlights your personality?

I think that jewellery that highlights someone’s personality does not have to be described in the same way as they would describe themselves. For instance, someone who wears chunky heavy jewellery, I would not necessarily describe them characteristically as chunky and heavy just because they wear chunky heavy jewellery. So I think that you can find a way to make your jewellery be a part of you without necessarily fitting the identical description.
