Chopard postpones cooperation with Uzbek presidential daughter

The Swiss jewellery company Chopard has declined to hold the joint presentation of the new Guli brand, created by the Uzbek president’s daughter Gulnara Karimova, at a watch and jewellery tradeshow in Basel. Despite the long-planned joint presentation of Gulnara’s jewellery collection at the Basel fair...Chopard suddenly backed away from its commitment, postponing the event indefinitely…Annette Heuer, Chopard’s public relations officer…said that Chopard had not stopped cooperation with Karimova…but had suspended it until it found out what the money raised from the sales of the collection would be spent on. Karimova’s guli.uz website claims that it will be spent on children’s projects in Uzbekistan.
