ジュスティーヌ・クランケが彼女を作った5本の映画

Fifteen years ago, still a student at L’École Duperré in Paris, French jewellery designer Justine Clenquet launched her namesake label at the precocious age of 18. From the outset, there was a gritty, sparkly energy behind it all – an urge to make jewellery that bridged the high and the low, the grit of street grunge and the poise of dress-up adulthood; designs that her friends wanted, and could afford, to wear. “I remember the very first pieces I made myself in my student room in Paris,” she says with a laugh. “I never would have imagined, when I launched my brand at 18, that we’d still be here in 2025.”  

To mark the brand’s 15th anniversary, Clenquet presents Re-Edition, a collection less about nostalgia than evolution – looking back to move forward. Signature early designs like the Ava and Amy earrings reappear, though tempered by years of experimentation and craft. “But you can still clearly recognise the brand’s DNA,” she explains, “the asymmetry, the mix of gold and silver, the combination of rings and chains.” If the references remain the same – cult figures like Kim Gordon and Courtney Love – the dialogue between glamour and subculture has only deepened, its contrasts resolved into a complete universe now including shoes, bags and sunglasses.

Subversive cinema has always run parallel to Clenquet’s world. Her pieces have appeared on screen – from the Hari necklace worn by Hayden Panettiere in Scream 6, to shoes and jewellery in the latest I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, and Gregg Araki’s forthcoming I Want Your Sex – a story defined by attitude and intensity. “It means the world to me – I’m a huge fan of his movies,” she says. And like film, her jewellery builds worlds from detail, moving through character and mood, gesture and gaze.

Here, Clenquet shares five films that have shaped both her personal and creative worlds.

1. Nowhere, Gregg Araki, 1997

“Nowhere is my favourite Gregg Araki film – a queer teenage dream. I love everything about it: the music, with bands like Radiohead, The Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Marilyn Manson; and the décor – the main characters’ bedrooms are surrealist, like a dream. I especially love the styling – very 90s, genderless, punk. The cast is also all of my favourite 2000s actors – James Duval, Ryan Phillippe, Denise Richards, and Rose McGowan. A fun fact: earlier this year I saw Nowhere at the cinema, and the next day I saw Rose McGowan wearing our Eva earrings on Instagram.”

2. Mademoiselle (The Handmaiden), Park Chan-wook, 2016

“I discovered Korean cinema through Park Chan-wook, and Mademoiselle is my favourite of his films – a  love story between two women in 1930s South Korea. It’s a feminist erotic thriller, with incredible photography and characters. I love how he mixes tradition and modernity through his contemporary vision.”

3. Body Double, Brian De Palma, 1984

“I saw this movie when I was a teenager and fell in love with Brian De Palma’s aesthetic, especially his films from the 70s and 80s. It’s also an erotic thriller – the character played by Melanie Griffith was the main inspiration for my A/W19 collection Final Girl. I’m obsessed with her glam rock style, with the music by Pino Donaggio, and of course the home décor – I’m a huge fan of 70s and 80s design.”

4. La Piel que Habito, Pedro Almodóvar, 2011

“I love almost all of Pedro Almodóvar’s films, but this one is my favourite. The screenplay is really interesting, as is the clinical aesthetic and the theme of body transformation. The colour and photography are so inspiring, and I’m fascinated by the beauty of the Spanish actress Elena Anaya.”

5. Funny Games (US), Michael Haneke, 2007

“I already loved the original 1997 version by Michael Haneke, but the US version stars one of my favourite actors, Michael Pitt. I’m a huge fan of horror and thriller films. The use of music is very important as it changes from classical to hardcore metal as we discover the true identity of the two psychopaths.”
