    I mean... I see the title and think: "Hm, I'm not interested so much, but it's Justine, so I'll watch it" and then I watch it and my mind is blown! The same with your perfume video. You are so precise and to the point but at the same time soooo interesting, I love it! Thank you!

      I really like the way you comprehend fashion: as intergrating part of other arts, history, politics and share interesting personas stories... I'm astonished about the context behind something what looks as "random" fashion photo! It's a great thing! Kepp it up!! ;)

    Looking at her designs, her genius is so apparent, we are fortunate she survived to create such lasting ideas of beauty simplified. Her jewelry is still being copied in one form or another. At bead shops one can find "floating" bead necklaces (diamonds by the yard), the heart, the shiny finished wood and stone rings, the simple, elegant designs revolutionized jewelry designs. Visionary is absolutely the correct word. Thank you for sharing Justine!

  • @katesage3221

    I saw this picture a while back in passing and I admired it for its composition and the elegance of the model. But now, knowing all the history behind it... Wow seems not quite adequate enough. Thank you for sharing this piece of fashion history with us. Looking forward to more.

    The village she lives in is called "Sant Martí Vell"', catalan for "Old Saint Martin" :-) and it is the most beautiful place on Earth. It is located in L' Empordà, Catalonia, a little piece of Paradise in this planet. I know because I used to live there before moving to the US. Elsa is a well known, respected and loved personality, we know about her story and we just adore her. She was the first "non-catalan" personality to be awarded the Catalan National Culture Award. Thank you Justine for your contribution, I also love this picture, Elsa is a Great Damme, and she will always be. ❤️

    you are right about the times we live in - and it is not only women with their back on the wall, but the way women are look at is one of the indicators that should alert us about the attitude of our time and the direction society will head towards to, if we are not attentive and consequent and 'loud'

  • @kbrandt4015

    Hello, Justine! I'm Russian girl who moved to live in Scotland. I was a little confused because of changing country and language but your videos and your life experience inspired me to move on and now I started doing here what i love even more successfully then back in home, opened my channel and sharing with my Russian friends new reality of my life! And i want to say that all your videos always deeper then just subject in title! Love your channel!

    Hello Justine, I loved this video a lot! I like how you not only gave very well researched background information to an amazing fotograph but also explained how the story maybe affects today's situation and fashion. Could you maybe do something similar about fashion icons like Diane von Fürstenberg, Dior, Vivien Westwood, Dries van Noten... or maybe iconic pieces like the Kelly Bag or Birkin Bag, or Diane's wrap-dress. :)

  • @silviaesilvia
    @silviaesilvia 7 лет назад +3

    I was looking for jewels with natural patterns a couple of months ago and I found this line on the Tiffany website in the name of Elsa Peretti. I thought "oh cool! An Italian! Too bad I have no clue who she is...". Now I know and I want those jewels even more!!! Nature and a strong woman (is this association made by chance? 😉): these are my symbols. Thank you Justine!

    I really enjoyed this video. I was 13 when this photo was taken. I lived 40 minutes outside of NYC. Although I missed the Studio 54 era, I did get to experience it recently now that it is used as a theater. I had the treat a few years ago to see Cabaret there. It was an incredible and powerful experience

  • @katiestegman8083
    @katiestegman8083 7 лет назад

  • @drtvrmoi
    @drtvrmoi 7 лет назад

    What a lovely video. I am delighted to know that Elsa is alive in Barcelona. As a child of the seventies, I adored Studio 54 and Elsa's work for Tiffany's. I own quite a few of her pieces and they are timeless. It's is unfortunate that Mr. Newton is no longer with us. His work pushed the boundaries of polite society which was what the '70s was all about

  • @mirtoraptopoulou9215
    @mirtoraptopoulou9215 7 лет назад +4

  • @christinebogart3477
    @christinebogart3477 7 лет назад +9

    This was fascinating, Justine! You are correct--context is everything. I had never thought about the cultural context for the shoulder pads and suit coats for women in the 80s. I was a teen then, so the cultural context for the clothing escaped my awareness. The rise of feminism in that milieu gives significance to those fashion statements. I see this now, looking back.
    This was a very interesting video! I hope you do more of this kind of thing!

    @anujakalgutkar4061 5 лет назад

    I am not at all artsy person in fact I am exactly opposite of that but I just love your channel. There is always something new to learn which I would have not read or watch online or search myself otherwise. I am tired of reading and watching same kind of content which comes to me in suggestions. Its breath of fresh air to watch your videos so full of content without loud expressions, dramatic camera work and unnecessary music. I like how you provide background story to everything and I learnt a lot about art, fashion, clothes and style in general. Thanks for making such videos. Very informative.

    Hi Justine, thank you so much for the thorough explanations on the stories behind this stylish and iconic picture. I had no previous knowledge on Elsa Peretti or Helmut Newton, but I did enjoy watching the video thanks to your wonderful storytelling and presentation skills.
    I was wondering the other day whether you would continue with your #FashionTalk# series? I really enjoy and appreciate all your sensible and sophisticated thinking behind the bustling fashion industry. Recently I came across a book, Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster, by Dana Thomas. It is an interesting read indeed. I just wonder whether it would be of any interest for you to make a #FashionTalk# video on luxury brands? 😊❤️
    Wish you have a nice weekend!🌹

    It's amazing how very different having the context in which the photograph was taken changed my opinion of the entire picture. At first, I thought it was just going to be a photograph of a Playboy Bunny from a different decade. Now, I can see how important that moment was for her. Thank you for sharing Justine.

    Nicely done, Justine. It was an exciting time. Helmut Newton's photographs reminded us of our inner strength and power, and still enjoy looking at two books of his that I have. Elsa Peretti was so cool and beautiful, and I wish Halston was still with us, because I could not afford his clothes back then.

    Justine, I want to thank you for such an interesting and unexpected video. I have been watching your videos for a while, beginning with my interest in dressing in the french style. This one, however, makes me want to read up on Helmut Newton's work. I had no idea of what you were going to share with the photograph behind you and what a fascinating story of Elsa Peretti. I learned something today. I look forward to more of your videos! Jeanine from U.S.

I fell in love with the strength and beauty of HN's work. It's so interesting that this style is coming back at this particular time in history.
