  • Elsa Peretti recently passed away, on March 18, 2021, at age 80. She has been an enormous inspiration to me in my life and work. This episode is my paean to her-and to some of the brilliant things she made in her lifetime.
    I begin by discussing Elsa’s famous Bottle necklace. Next I explore her work with the fashion designer Halston, for whom she was a muse, friend, and model, as well as a designer-she created an iconic fragrance bottle and some jewelry for him. After that, I get into her multifaceted design work with Tiffany & Co., including her Open Heart necklace, Bone cuffs, terracotta Bone candlestick holders, and Fishbowl vessel, in addition to her experiences in the late 1970s Studio 54 scene. I also talk about her long-standing collaboration with the photographer Hiro, who created images that, when I looked at them in Vogue magazine in my youth, just made me ache for their beauty.
    I finish the episode on Elsa’s gold mesh bra for Tiffany-maybe my favorite Elsa design of all-which Zoë Kravitz wore to the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2019. Elsa famously said, “Style is to be simple. I like to push myself to achieve excellence and eliminate all excess detail.” This episode is a celebration of that ethos.
    In Memory of Elsa Peretti (1940-2021)

      @@kateyoung sooo so good.
      I absolutely loved it. Halston's wardrobe in the series, my mood board for fall. Epic. The 70s were glorious!
      What I loved most is I learned more about Elsa, about Liza, things I did not know. I was enthralled. I did not know that fashion event took place at Versailles.
      And I had just been watching that 90s fashion documentary The Look, where I learned a great deal about the beginnings of Calvin Klein, our queen Donna Karan, who occupied the former Halston offices, and Ralph Lauren. So it all tied in when I watched Halston.
      To see Ralph Lauren still in big business today is astounding. These designers went through alot. Respect.
      And there's Liza and Angelica Huston who are still alive with those memories that we only glimpsed.
      Amazing.

    I worked at Bloomingdale's in Manhattan for 3 years in the jewelry dept. while going to school. There was a small area that was for Elsa Perriti jewelry and I always loved to go in and look at the pieces. They always felt organic and comforting in the hand. I just wish I had invested in a few pieces.

I have wanted one ever since. My son found one for me. I explained the desire for this design. Unfortunately Elsa Peretti passed away one month after I received my lovely cuff bracelet. Thank you Elsa for your inspirations.

    Oh I remember those bangle bracelets! I love them too mostly for how substantial & solid they are are but also the smoothness. I can see how the bones influenced her designs. I also remember the open heart from the 70s & as a little girl just loving it. And those Halston bottles. I never knew that she designed them. I will have to find mine now. I didn't realize it had also been a necklace too. I recently purchased a necklace at Tiffany & Co. & as I was waiting I saw they had a display of the open hearts. ( currently they will only allow a few people in the store at a time & you must see only what you say your looking for- no browsing) I thought oh yes! I'm definitely coming back for one of those too! But I had no idea the inspiration behind it. Now I love it even more. Thank you

    I found your channel after watching Hung Vanngo's make-up video. I'm glad that I found your channel with inspirational content, professional high quality video, Hung Vanngo was right that you should make videos for normal people to get knowledge about fashion and its history which was not accessible unless one goes into industry; also it is good for for those who can afford high price designer's items but has little knowledge to appreciate the value of the design and work that has been done. I love this episode - I can't afford to follow fashion or buy high price designer's piece, but I love arts, it is great to find out more about inspirational designer and their life stories!
