An ambitious but simple mission. WFrancis Ford Coppola’s fi nest hotel yet, the Palazzo Margherita (page 42), redefi nes luxury in a way that is restrained yet exquisitely comfortable. He and French interior designer Jacques Grange have married Moorish and Tunisian infl uences with an Italian aesthetic to create languid, 19th-century grandeur where you might imagine yourself the protagonist of a novel. Entrepreneur Thomas Flohr (page 50) is trying to give the conservative world of private jets a full fashion makeover by luring customers to his upstart VistaJet by the same means that bring them to part with money for luxury handbags: the creation of desire. Japan (page 64) once threatened to take over eve- rything from cars to electronics. Today it proff ers the goods other nations are most proud of, at a quality to rival the originals. In Japan they’re perfecting the art of American denim, Italian espresso and French cuisine. Lastly and mostly lovely, our cover girl, Anjelica Huston (page 21), is in a league of one, challenging conventional, often boring notions about beauty, career paths and what it means to be a woman in Hollywood. Everyone who met her at our shoot pretty much fell in love with her hon- esty and gameness. Let’s just say that doesn’t happen every day.

  • Elsa Peretti | 1
    Elsa Peretti | 1 The arrival of Elsa Peretti at Tiffany & Co. in 1974 signaled a revolution in the world of jewelry design. Her collections of organic, sensual forms seduced the world with their elegant simplicity. A masterful artisan, Peretti explored nature with the acumen of a scientist and the vision of a sculptor, though her preferred title was “craftswoman.” Peretti had said her designs were dictated by common sense. “For me, good line and good form are timeless.” “Elsa has been one of our most beloved and important designer collaborators for nearly 50 years,” said Anthony Ledru, Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany & Co. “Her designs are as modern today as ever. This is a true testament to her artistic vision and genius.” Elsa Peretti is celebrated around the world for her groundbreaking designs and innovative jewelry. Powerfully feminine with an effortless ease, the Bone cuff is one of those designs that has been revered for decades. Formed in the shape of a wrist bone, the iconic cuff embodies the organic sensuality of Peretti’s aesthetic vocabulary. Her revolutionary Diamonds by the Yard® collection combines fine, fluid chains and bezel-set stones that forever changed the role of diamonds in fashion. “If diamonds are mounted like this the light is different,” she explained. “They look like drops of light, like a stream—very modern.” Bean® design, Open Heart and Bottle collections reflect her unique ability to give designs a fluid and tactile quality. Peretti’s Snake, Scorpion and her quintessential Mesh jewelry are a testament to how her jewelry effortlessly drapes and contours with the body.

TILBAGE AF KAARE SCHMIDT Francis Coppolas nyeste opus er en filmsym­ foni og et højdepunkt i instruktørens eksperi­ menter med filmkunsten. »The Cotton Club« er også en periodefilm, et Amerika-billede og en hyldest til 30’emes filmgenrer. Kaare Schmidt analyserer filmen, og Per Calum re­ degør for virkelighedens Cotton Club. Vi er tilbage i the Jazz Age, hvor sorte mennesker er anden­ rangs og sorte jazzmusikere og stepdansere er førsterangs. Sorte optræder derfor i natklubber, hvor kun et hvidt pub­ likum har adgang - såsom The Cotton Club. Klubben ligger endda i Harlem, pænt af vejen fra lovens lange arm, for tiden er også forbudstiden, og klubben er en celeber version af en speakeasy med illegal sprut, som ejeren faktisk selv brygger. Ejeren, Owney Madden, er en kendt gangster, lige­ som en hyppig gæst i klubben, Dutch Schultz, der foruden at brygge sprut har overtaget kontrollen med the numbers game, en slags V-5, hvor de fattige for et par mønter kan opleve drømmen om den store gevinst. Gangsterne er de eneste, der er sikre på gevinsten, som de så sætter blandt andet i the movie game, film f.eks. om gangstere. Tiden er genrefilmens og gangstervældets. »Lucky« Luciano ekspe­ derer Dutch af vejen, og så overtager mafiaen spillet, og så er vi ved at være fremme ved »The Godfather«.

  • (Roy Halston Frowick) (1932-1990) by Shaun Cole
    Halston (Roy Halston Frowick) (1932-1990) by Shaun Cole Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The first international fashion superstar, Halston was a master of cut, detail, and finish. He dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women. Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Babe Paley, Barbara Walters, Lauren Bacall, Bianca Jagger, and Liza Minnelli were just some of the women who wore Halston. Roy Halston Frowick was born on April 23, 1932 in Des Moines, Iowa, the second son of a Norwegian- American accountant with a passion for inventing. Roy developed an interest in sewing from his mother. As an adolescent he began creating hats and embellishing outfits for his mother and sister. Roy graduated from high school in 1950 then attended Indiana University for one semester. After the family moved to Chicago in 1952, he enrolled in a night course at the Chicago Art Institute and worked as a window dresser. Frowick's first big break came when the Chicago Daily News ran a brief story on his fashionable hats. In 1957 he opened his first shop, the Boulevard Salon, on Michigan Avenue. It was at this point that he began to use his middle name as his professional moniker. With the help of a lover twenty-five years his senior, celebrity hair stylist André Basil, Halston further developed his career by moving to New York later in 1957. Basil introduced Halston to milliner Lilly Daché, who offered him a job. Within a year he had been named co-designer at Daché, become the new best friend of several fashion editors and publishers, and left Daché's studio to become head milliner for department store Bergdorf Goodman.

  • Halston: Rebecca Dayan in Elsa Peretti Nella Miniserie Netflix
    Leggi l'articolo su beautynews Halston: Rebecca Dayan in Elsa Peretti nella miniserie Netflix Rebecca Dayan ha già vissuto molte vite. Francese di nascita, ha fatto la modella, l’assistente al design da Sonia Rykiel, l’artista (i suoi ipnotici acquerelli sono stati in mostra alla Catherine Ahnell Gallery di New York) e l’attrice, con ruoli in Limitless (2011), H. (2014) e La scelta (2017). Chi meglio di lei, quindi, per interpretare la multitalentuosa Elsa Peretti – la modella italiana poi divenuta una delle disegnatrici di gioielli più influenti del ventesimo secolo grazie al suo lavoro per Tiffany & Co – in Halston, la nuova miniserie prodotta da Ryan Murphy e diretta da Daniel Minahan? L’estremamente stiloso biopic in cinque episodi procede molto spedito, raccontando in ordine cronologico la vita e la carriera di Roy Halston Frowick (Ewan McGregor), il leggendario designer americano divenuto famoso dopo aver creato un cappellino a tamburello per Jacqueline Kennedy; ammiratissimo a New York negli anni Settanta, finì per perdere il controllo del suo impero a seguito di una scalata ostile. pagina 1 / 5 Rebecca Dayan wears Schiaparelli Photography by Kat Irlin. Styling by Shibon Kennedy. Hair by Blake Erik. Makeup by Cyndle Komarovski Quasi sempre al suo fianco c’è Peretti (Dayan), sua amica e musa che sfilava leggera nei suoi abiti che hanno definito un’epoca e restava ferma con pazienza nel suo studio mentre lui le scolpiva le sue creazioni sul corpo, drappeggiava, tagliava e metteva spilli ai tessuti, e lei gli dava suggerimenti sulle linee. Negli episodi successivi la vediamo trasformarsi ella stessa in un’artista, traendo ispirazione dai mercati delle pulci che usa per creare gioielli che accompagnano gli abiti di Halston in passerella.

At this stage, the Florence Biennale steering committee is delighted to announce that the Leonardo da Vinci Lifetime Achievement Awards for Design will be bestowed to two internationally acclaimed talents who have excelled outstandingly in the design domains.

Looking forward to unveiling the forthcoming XIIth edition, Florence Biennale have released a video (see this link) to present the international Juries of either the Art and Design contests, which will gather eXhibiting artists and designers from many different countries in Florence, at the Fortezza da Basso.
