About Anna Hu
Anna Hu founded her namesake brand, Anna Hu
Haute Joaillerie, at the age of 30 and opened her first flagship boutique in New
York's Plaza Hotel in 2008. She has since opened flagships in Shanghai's
renowned Bund area and most recently at the luxurious new Mandarin Oriental
Hotel in Taipei. She is the only Asian American jewelry designer to work
exclusively with French-trained artisans to create one-of-a-kind artworks
featuring the world's rarest gems. Highly educated in the United States with
degrees from Columbia University, the Gemological Institute of America, Parsons
School of Design, and NY's Fashion Institute of Technology, Anna is as much a
scholar as she is an artist and her exquisite designs reflect that unique
sophistication. Her work combines Eastern and Western influences, often inspired
by classical music and nature, with particular reference to Impressionism and
Art Nouveau.
Anna presented her first global exhibition at the Louvre's
Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris in July 2012 and launched her first book, "Symphony
of Jewels, op. 1," published by The Vendome Press and Thames & Hudson, that
September. It features 100 pieces from her illustrious body of work. In 2013,
she broke and still holds the world auction record for the highest price paid
for a contemporary jewelry designer (Christie's Magnificent Jewels,
Geneva).
Anna is recognized for her artistic and technical innovation
and has received awards both nationally and internationally. Her jewelry has
been worn by Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Drew
Barrymore, Hilary Swank, Oprah Winfrey, the acclaimed contemporary artist Cindy
Sherman, and the Queen of Bhutan. She's been featured in The Wall Street
Journal, W, ELLE, The New York Times, VOGUE, InStyle, Robb Report, The Financial
Times, Vanity Fair, and other leading national and international
publications.
