Axelle René Cannes Film Festival in Naude Bourn | Emergence Collection

On May 16, 2025, Axelle René—Miss Martinique 2022, Miss France 2023 3rd runner-up, and Miss World Top Model 2024—appeared at the iconic Hôtel Martinez during the 78th Cannes Film Festival. A rising model, geologist, and cultural ambassador of Caribbean elegance, René’s presence reshaped the energy of the space. Grounded. Radiant. Unmistakable.

She wore Naude Bourn’s Emergence Collection—a sculptural composition in 18-Karat Bravura Yellow Gold. The ensemble included the Embrace You Necklace, Empower You Threader Earrings, and Know You Studs paired with Illuminate You Dangle Earring Accessories. Each piece carries intention. Each form, an activation.

But the moment extended deeper.

Axelle also debuted PRAGNĀ—a corset-form jewelry sculpture from ÉTAT D’OR Collection, the sovereign collaboration between Limited Edition 999 and Naude Bourn.

When illusion dissolves and the knower and the known become one, PRAGNĀ takes form.

Sculpted in Bravura Yellow 18k gold and etched with the Naude Bourn sigil in geometric precision, PRAGNĀ embodies the shift from internal clarity to external presence. It carries the shape of self-trust—structural, lucid, and unshaken. This is how wisdom lives in the body: not loud, but unmistakable.

Created for the 78th Annual Festival de Cannes, ÉTAT D’OR introduces a trilogy of sculptural activations—Ignition, Knowing, and Return—engineered in gold as corset-form jewelry. Each piece is designed to hold a frequency. PRAGNĀ is the second: Knowing.

In Axelle René, that knowing was made visible.
