Spotlight: Francesca Amfitheatrof
We cannot help our new obsession with Francesca Amfitheatrof, Tiffany & Company’s first female design director. She has lived, at various times, in Tokyo, Rome, Moscow, Manhattan and, for many years until recently, London. She is revamping all of Tiffany, making it more modern and very stylish. Amfitheatrof’s first collection for Tiffany, Tiffany T, is practically a Brooklynized take on fine jewelry. Polished enough for a night on the town, it could also easily be worn on a stroll to the farmers’ market. The modern range of mix-and-matchable designs are unreal — one necklace uses a double-headed “T” to form a smile — and so much more: Tennis bracelets and rings stretch and contract on railroad-like tracks, while modular linked necklaces twist and flex in all directions for a fluid effect. The new collection is to die for, and we cannot get enough of it!
