Andy Warhol's Tiffany Greetings

Just a few of the many illustrations Andy Warhol created for John Loring's Tiffany. The Warhol-Tiffany adventure began in 1956 and lasted for seven years. These drawings are so delightful with their sense of whimsy and wonder. You can see more in the book Greetings from Andy Warhol: Christmas at Tiffany's.

Merry Christmas. oxo

PS... "Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures" is on view through March 21 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, moma.org {you can read an article about the exhibition in the New York Times here}.

FLOWERS | WHARHOL

It's freezing here at the beach so I'm looking at
Warhol's book Flowers, Flowers, Flowers.

"They put out a MOOD that makes them even
more beautiful."

I think he's right.

A friend of mine and I were imagining Diana Vreeland as a modern-day blogger. Would she be wearing UGGs? Probably not. She was our ultimate tastemaker and most recognizable fashion icon. Known as DV to those lucky to be her friends, Diana Vreeland was the essence of classic elegance and savoir-faire. Her career began in 1936 at Harper's Bazaar where she eventually became fashion editor. After 25 years there, she joined Vogue where she remained the editor-in-chief until 1971.
Her autobiography DV is a great read.

DV was also loved for her wonderful sense
of humor and irreverence:
• "What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are
not something one thinks about."
• "The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really
comes from it."
• "Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola."
• "I adore that pink! It's the navy blue of India."
• "Too much good taste can be boring."
