Breakfast at Tiffany's

Vignettes · The edit
Vintage vignettes, the Audrey Hepburn way
A table with a lamp, a cabinet with a book. Each set is a small story, told with pieces that belong together.
Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1961
The Little Black Dress
The little black dress is not a dress, it is a blank canvas. Pearls, flats and a small clutch let the dress do its work.
Roman Holiday, 1953
Roman Holiday
A scarf over the hair, sunglasses on, a city you have never seen. The Roman Holiday is a state of mind.
Funny Face, 1957
The Parisian Atelier
A desk by a window, a lamp that pools light, a typewriter that waits. The atelier is where ideas become things.
Sabrina, 1954
Sabrina's Return
Every transformation starts at a dressing table. A mirror, a scent, a place to become someone else for the evening.
Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1961
The Reading Nook
An armchair that holds you, a lamp that keeps you, a book that will not let you go. The reading nook is the smallest room in the house.
Charade, 1963
The Bar Cart
The bar cart is the grown-up version of show and tell. Crystal that catches the light, a decanter worth its contents.
Funny Face, 1957
Funny Face
Paris in a scarf and a beret. The Funny Face edit is the wardrobe of someone who dresses for the photograph.
My Fair Lady, 1964
My Fair Lady
A flower girl with a borrowed accent, a hat that remembers where she started. The lady is not born — she is assembled, one piece at a time.
Coco Chanel · est. 1910
The Chanel Edit
A quilted bag, a tweed jacket, pearls at the throat. Chanel is not an outfit — it is a posture.
Hermès · est. 1837
The Hermès Edit
A carré of silk, a Kelly on the arm. Hermès is patience, paid in stitches and saddle leather.
Louis Vuitton · est. 1854
The Louis Vuitton Edit
A monogram that has travelled, a trunk that has seen platforms. Vuitton is the luggage of a life.
Christian Dior · est. 1946
The Dior Edit
The New Look, the Bar jacket, the saddle bag. Dior is a silhouette that does not apologise.
Rolex · Cartier · Breitling
The Timepiece
A watch keeps its own counsel. Rolex, Cartier, Breitling — time, worn well.
Gucci · est. 1921
The Gucci Edit
The bamboo handle, the horsebit loafer, the green-and-red web. Gucci is Florence with a wink.
Prada · est. 1913
The Prada Edit
Nylon that outlasts the trend, the triangle that needs no name. Prada is quiet luxury, engineered.
Patek Philippe · est. 1839
The Patek Philippe Edit
You never actually own a Patek Philippe — you merely look after it for the next generation.
Omega · est. 1848
The Omega Edit
First on the moon, first on the wrist. Omega is precision with a pulse.
