TIFFANY & Co. 175 YRS YOUNG!

This year marks the 175th Anniversary for Tiffany & Co., to mark this The Tiffany Diamond one of the largest and finest fancy yellow diamonds in the world was reset in a magnificent necklace of dazzling white diamonds, totaling over 120 carats.

Only two women have ever worn the priceless gem; Mrs Mary Whitehouse wore a lavish necklace set with the diamond for the 1957 Tiffany Ball in Newport, Rhode Island. Audrey Hepburn wore a Jean Schlumberger necklace of diamond ribbons surrounding the diamond in publicity photographs for the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The same designer also designed the now famous Bird on a Rock setting in which the diamond was mounted for the 1995 Schlumberger retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

The 175th anniversary necklace took a year to make and became the centerpiece of anniversary celebrations in Tokyo, Beijing, Dubai, and New York City. Returning to its permanent place of honor on the Main Floor of Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue store, the necklace ushered the Tiffany Diamond into a brilliant new era.

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA RESORT 2013

Maison Martin Margiela Resort 2013 was full of what MMM does best, menswear-influenced tailoring. The minimal collection was full of monochrome tones with hint of powdery hues; silhouettes were simple layered with tailored pieces, whilst others were loose and light. This is definitely a collection full of investment pieces, faves are the off white double-breasted sleeveless jacket, the navy suit with cigarette pants, and the strapless pleated black maxi dress. I also want to get into the bags and couple of the shoes! That fold over clutch and oversize box clutch need to be mine, I’ve already cleared space for them in the bag closet! That is all.
