A Tribute to New York’s Wildest Woman: Jewelry Legend Elsa Peretti | Hello Fashion | Kate Young
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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.

@@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.
So informative. I never realized she was the model in the bunny costume. That image is iconic.

Lovely tribute. I used to tear the photos of her jewelry from Elle and Vogue in the early 90s and hang them on my wall. The ads were incredible. I would love to see a video about 70s- 80s-90s photography, it was so iconic.

So, so true about the Halston perfume bottle. It is iconic and unforgettable. She sounds like someone I would want to sit down at a party and hear all her stories. This tribute is so heartfelt and beautiful! I get a real sense of who she was, but I also feel that way when I looking and wearing her jewelry. Thank you so much!

I love Elsa glasses. I was only familiar with her early work in fashion. I didn’t know she lived to an old age and still worked, how inspirational!
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 probably watched this one for 20 times and shared it with many ppl I hope they will be inspired. This one episode was done from the heart, a marvelous work.
You are a national treasure, just like Elsa, this is how fashion people should be. Full of vitality, appreciation, reverence, respect, humor, and dedication to craft. A historian part time. I ache to be a part of this world and one day soon I will. Thank you 🙏
Ohmygoodness you made me rediscover my fascination for the little vase necklace that she designed. I cannot imagine that there could exist a young girl - who when she first saw that in the window at Tiffany - didn’t beg her mother for one.❤️

Hi Kate, It's really interesting to learn about the stories behind Elsa Peretti's designs. I've been admiring your collection for Monica Vinader and I can see you're giving back some love - really cool pieces.
*AWESOME FUCKING PIECE!! Just discovered her while watching the Netflix drama of Halston and never heard of her before, probably a typical casualty of time passing. Man she was stunning when she was younger! Loving your hair and KZread channel, keep going!! Greetings from a straight guy in Canada!*

Elsa Peretti was always such an inspiration to me as well. When I was young, I saved up for just a few beautiful pieces of her jewelry. I still love and wear my bracelets and my bottle necklace (that was a gift from my husband). She was such a special and wonderful artist! I've always wanted a snake necklace...one day!

This is the channel I never knew I needed. I always looked up to your work and saw how much effort you put into your clients and as someone who wants to work in fashion in the future, it's simply great to see someone as passionate and kind as you in the business. It truly motivates you!
Thank you. I came out n the 70's. Three of my great loves were finding my soul mate, dance music and Elsa Peretti silver jewelry. I have the bean, the medium size "jug", horseshoe belt, and large wrist cuff. I rarely wear any of these pieces but enjoy them as objects of art.

Thank you for the very informative and enjoyable view into Elsa Peretti’s world. Raquel Welch wore a bone cuff bracelet on the cover of her Hatha Yoga Book 📖 and video in the 1970’s. 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. This is a wonderful channel. I look forward to more informative videos. By the way Kate, my hair is very long and naturally white.

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
