Official Belen Jesuit Wolverines 2023 Basketball State Champions Shirt
Historically, the Belen Jesuit Wolverines 2023 Basketball State Champions Shirt Additionally,I will love this first Monday in May has marked an iconic night for fashion and the Metropolitan Museum of Art: the Met Gala, dedicated to raising funds for the Met’s Costume Institute. Yet the event’s full story might surprise even its biggest devotees. Nearly a century ago, theater producer Irene Lewisohn and stage designer Aline Bernstein devised what would become the foundation of the Met’s Costume Institute holdings: a collection of costumes that theater designers could look to for inspiration. Tiffany’s blue has long been the brand’s hallmark. But just as influential, perhaps, is a long line of extraordinary women who have left their impression on the company. It was, in fact, Napoleon III’s wife, Eugénie de Montijo, who inspired the robin’s egg hue; in the 1970s, Elsa Peretti reenergized the house with her sumptuously simplistic silver; and Paloma Picasso’s heart-shaped jewelry in the 2000s introduced a whole new set to the century-plus-year-old establishment. The latest to join the ranks? Lauren Santo Domingo, who was just announced artistic director of Tiffany Home. At Tiffany & Co.’s 5th Avenue headquarters, just off of Manhattan’s Union Square, Santo Domingo walks me through her debut collection—heavily inspired by the house’s archival trove, which spans magnificent silverworks, novel diamond settings, and stained glass lamps. (Those U.S. seals on the backs of every dollar bill were designed by the company, too.) Dressed in a black satin maxi skirt, sleeveless turtleneck, and croc-effect boots, she handles a whisper-thin drinking glass crafted by the storied Austrian house of Lobmeyer and featuring a spray of purple-blue wisteria inspired by Tiffany’s Art Nouveau lamps. “Rumor is that you can squeeze that as hard as you want, and it won’t shatter,” she says, revealing the spark she brings to her famous dinner parties. (“Not only do I like to entertain and set a nice table, I also, quite luckily, am invited out a lot.”)
