Vogue cover captures the essences of Gatsby brilliantly..
‘The Great Gatsby’ Tiffany collection.. a timeless homage to an extravagant era…
To commemorate the debut of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, Tiffany + Co have released a stunning new range that shares its name with the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic.
Gatsby is set in the midst of prohibition America, where a newfound social freedom, emerging from the First World War, is dividing the social classes. The peak of this event is the clash between the brash and bold ‘new’ money of Jay Gatsby (Leonardo di Caprio) and the jealous and protective ‘old’ money of Tom and Daisy Buchanan (Joel Edgerton and Carey Mulligan – Pictured).
These stunning pieces, the Julien d’lis headpiece, the Oscar de la Renta dress and of course, ‘The Great Gatsby’ Tiffany collection, are a timeless homage to an extravagant era of lust and romanticism. These pieces are spawn from an era where the nouveau riche could afford to purchase these stunning pieces, but only a few could truly pull them off.
As timeless as the book itself, these pieces show, that though you may acquire wealth, a faux Oxford degree and the fleeting love of the woman of your dreams, you, old sport, are either born with, or without, class.
Be guided by the guild.
