Elsa Peretti was a famous designer for Tiffany. Designing Open Heart, The Bean, and her Diamonds by the yard plus an unstoppable series of household accessories like candlesticks, ashtrays, bowls etc. She also designed jewellery for Halston and Oscar de la Renta. When she was young she was a very well paid model who moved from Florence, Italy to pursue her modelling career which we could say reach the top with the ultra iconic picture by Helmut Newton, “Bad Black Playboy Suit”- swimsuit kind of outfit with mesh stocking and a ‘bunny’ mask- all designed for her by Halston, one of the top American names in fashion design. The “Around That Time, portfolios are literally a time capsule of style and design from the 1960s-1980s. The images chosen for this portfolio are a who’s who of the tastemakers and influencers from one of the most exciting and innovative periods of the twentieth century. Never before was there a moment quite like this, and never before or since has there been a photographer of such unique talent as Horst P. Horst.”

Edition of 2Horst P. Horst German-American, 1906-1999 (born Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann) was one of the towering figures of 20th-century fashion photography. Best known for his work with Vogue—who called him “photography’s alchemist”—Horst rose to prominence in Paris in the interwar years, publishing his first work with the magazine in 1931. In the decades that followed, Horst’s experimentations with radical composition, nudity, double exposures, and other avant-garde techniques would produce some of the most iconic fashion images ever, like Mainbocher Corset and Lisa with Harp (both 1939). As The New York Times once described, “Horst tamed the avant-garde to serve fashion.” Though associated most closely with fashion photography, Horst captured portraits of many of the 20th century’s brightest luminaries, dabbling with influences as far-ranging as Surrealism and Romanticism. “I like taking photographs because I like life,” he once said. “And I love photographing people best of all because most of all I love humanity.”
