A Tribute to New York’s Wildest Woman: Jewelry Legend Elsa Peretti | Hello Fashion | Kate Young

- Elsa Peretti recently passed away, on March 18, 2021, at age 80. She has been an enormous inspiration to me in my life and work. This episode is my paean to her-and to some of the brilliant things she made in her lifetime.
I begin by discussing Elsa’s famous Bottle necklace. Next I explore her work with the fashion designer Halston, for whom she was a muse, friend, and model, as well as a designer-she created an iconic fragrance bottle and some jewelry for him. After that, I get into her multifaceted design work with Tiffany & Co., including her Open Heart necklace, Bone cuffs, terracotta Bone candlestick holders, and Fishbowl vessel, in addition to her experiences in the late 1970s Studio 54 scene. I also talk about her long-standing collaboration with the photographer Hiro, who created images that, when I looked at them in Vogue magazine in my youth, just made me ache for their beauty.
I finish the episode on Elsa’s gold mesh bra for Tiffany-maybe my favorite Elsa design of all-which Zoë Kravitz wore to the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2019. Elsa famously said, “Style is to be simple. I like to push myself to achieve excellence and eliminate all excess detail.” This episode is a celebration of that ethos.

This is like a seminar for those who only wished they got to study at Parsons
I got in but I was too broke to go! 😂😂😂
I went to Paris Fashion Institute for s summer session.
I knew I wanted to go to Parsons
Love your pants. Great toggle.
Jewellery is such an underrated aspect of fashion. It literally makes an outfit look luxe. Thanks for the knowledge on Elsa Peretti.
🤍
Dear Kate, thank you so much for coming to RUclips. It's so nice to see passion and incredible quality in everything you do. You are truly inspiring ✨
🤍
I love Elsa Peretti jewelry from Tiffany. Her designs are so clean yet whimsical & charming; hence they are always conversation pieces. RIP Ms Peretti...
🤍
I've come here after watching Halston on Netflix in one binge sitting.
Thanks Kate. You're amazing.
It’s soooo good isn’t it?!?
@@kateyoung sooo so good.
I absolutely loved it. Halston's wardrobe in the series, my mood board for fall. Epic. The 70s were glorious!
What I loved most is I learned more about Elsa, about Liza, things I did not know. I was enthralled. I did not know that fashion event took place at Versailles.
And I had just been watching that 90s fashion documentary The Look, where I learned a great deal about the beginnings of Calvin Klein, our queen Donna Karan, who occupied the former Halston offices, and Ralph Lauren. So it all tied in when I watched Halston.
To see Ralph Lauren still in big business today is astounding. These designers went through alot. Respect.
And there's Liza and Angelica Huston who are still alive with those memories that we only glimpsed.
Amazing.
Elsa Peretti revolutionized the jewelry industry with her brilliant and creative designs.
This episode was so informative and an amazing tribute to her legacy.✨
I simply didn’t want that this episode to end! It’s just amazingly inspirational and beautiful and you should do this again with a lot of other iconic fashion faces! We have so much to learn from them and from you as well! Thank you for bringing this into our life! ❤️
Thank you!
So informative. I never realized she was the model in the bunny costume. That image is iconic.
🖤
Indeed!
Wow-wow-wow, so incredible video - your photos and videos so estetic and beautiful, so I want to rewatch again and again,thanks a lot
I have long been aware of Elsa Peretti's designs but knew nothing of her life. And now, I'm obsessed (in a very good way)! What an intriguing woman! And what a life she led! Thank you for a lovely video.
🤍
What a beautiful channel...so calming and precious. Thank You :)
❤️
Thank you for educating us in fashion. Your videos are free and accessible to all yet very informative, insightful and inspiring. 💕
Thank you!
This is what top-notch quality content looks like. Educational, inspiring, beautiful, and entertaining at the same time. Thank you for starting this channel, Kate. It makes my time spent on RUclips worth it. I become a more evolved and a cultured human being.
Thank you!
You should be so proud of your little growing channel. I really hope you find success with all the hardwork that put into your videos. Kudos to your team and editors too. Thank you Kate. Keep working hard, and we will be here cheering you on.
💕
i remember seeing pictures of Carine roitfeld in that necklace but never knew, thank you for the education. i'm obsessed now
🤍
She was such a vibrant character, really resonate with her casual, embodied approach to the work. The bone-inspired pieces are incredible.
saw this video on my yt feed, watched it, and now I'm sold to be a subscriber
Thanks!
Kate I think it's amazing when you talk about fashion icons. You should keep sharing stories about different eras and characters
❤️
I love her exquisite jewelry. A proud owner of her ring, pendant and earrings . RIP Miss. Peretti.
Lovely tribute. I used to tear the photos of her jewelry from Elle and Vogue in the early 90s and hang them on my wall. The ads were incredible. I would love to see a video about 70s- 80s-90s photography, it was so iconic.
I agree!
Loved this was all Elsa. I worked at Tiffany's Beverly Hills for 11 years. I had the pleasure of meeting her and owning some of her designs that I'll cherish forever. xo
Amazing!!!
So, so true about the Halston perfume bottle. It is iconic and unforgettable. She sounds like someone I would want to sit down at a party and hear all her stories. This tribute is so heartfelt and beautiful! I get a real sense of who she was, but I also feel that way when I looking and wearing her jewelry. Thank you so much!
🤍🤍🤍
I LOVE her collections!!!! What a tribute to Elsa Peretti. Thank you!
I bought a pair of earrings designed by her for my 25th birthday. I’m now 63 and still have them. Sterling ear bone cuffs from Tiffany.
🤍
Just watched the show about Halston on Netflix and now this video Comes up! The photographs with Hiro are so beautiful
🤍
Loved this episode honoring Elsa Peretti’s legacy. I was very intrigued by the sentiment behind the ‘open heart’ necklace ❤️ and all of Elsa’s jewelry pieces were each masterpieces on their own ❤️ Love your channel!
Made me like that necklace so much more
This history lesson is awesome....learned a lot!
💕
I'm glad to be offered your videos again after a few years!!
You are a national treasure, just like Elsa, this is how fashion people should be. Full of vitality, appreciation, reverence, respect, humor, and dedication to craft. A historian part time. I ache to be a part of this world and one day soon I will. Thank you 🙏
Such a great education. Learned so much.
💕
I probably watched this one for 20 times and shared it with many ppl I hope they will be inspired.
This one episode was done from the heart, a marvelous work.
Beautifully done... honouring an exceptional woman and artist.
Ohmygoodness you made me rediscover my fascination for the little vase necklace that she designed. I cannot imagine that there could exist a young girl - who when she first saw that in the window at Tiffany - didn’t beg her mother for one.❤️
❤️
THANK YOU, Kate !!! You speak SO WELL ! And you have SO MUCH insight and content !!! A video by you like this one is more than 2-3 weeks of modern commercial designs in an art college and 1 semester in a fashion school anywhere in the world...
Thank you 💕
I worked at Bloomingdale's in Manhattan for 3 years in the jewelry dept. while going to school. There was a small area that was for Elsa Perriti jewelry and I always loved to go in and look at the pieces. They always felt organic and comforting in the hand. I just wish I had invested in a few pieces.
🤍
That is culture and Art! Thanks. The fact that accomplishes fashion shows how intertwined they are!
Elsa Peretti designed such iconic jewelry pieces ❤️
❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this wealth of information on Elsa Peretti. Her authentic personality has always shown on her designs and way of living. I am looking forward for your next episode as always. xo
*AWESOME FUCKING PIECE!! Just discovered her while watching the Netflix drama of Halston and never heard of her before, probably a typical casualty of time passing. Man she was stunning when she was younger! Loving your hair and RUclips channel, keep going!! Greetings from a straight guy in Canada!*
Thanks!
Thank you so much for featuring my fav Jewelry designer Elsa! Bone cuff is simply the most iconic bangles!
🤍
Yes I too proudly and lovingly wear my bone bracelet it was bought at Tiffany's for me 22 years ago and it still brings me pleasure to slip it on
I love Elsa glasses. I was only familiar with her early work in fashion. I didn’t know she lived to an old age and still worked, how inspirational!
Thank you. I came out n the 70's. Three of my great loves were finding my soul mate, dance music and Elsa Peretti silver jewelry. I have the bean, the medium size "jug", horseshoe belt, and large wrist cuff. I rarely wear any of these pieces but enjoy them as objects of art.
🤍
What a beautiful story on Elsa Peretti. My name is Chris Royer and I am one of the Halston's muse model and Halstonette. Back in 1972 I met Elsa, she was an amazing model, and evolved to become one of the great jewelry designers of the time. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Thank you!
I remember you from back in the day. Great models modeling beautiful clothes and jewelry. You were one of the beauties!
How inspiring ! Didn't know Elsa until watched your video, and really touched me about designing, things look so simple but meaningful behind the look.
🤍
Dearest Kate, This episode is EVERYTHING!! I have been obsessed with Elsa and all things Elsa since I designed clothes in the 1980's in New York. She was fluid beauty at its finest and her creations will live on forever. You are definitely my soul sister!! XOX From Ireland
🤍🤍🤍
Hi Kate thank you for creating your RUclips channel and sharing your wisdom freely. I feel like I am watching a master class in fashion! I love how passionate you are about what you do, your enthusiasm is helping my COVID-19 gloom.
💕💕💕
This was superb. Thank you.
🤍
Thank you Kate for your inspiring and artistic story telling. Distinguished quality indeed
💕
Hi Kate, It's really interesting to learn about the stories behind Elsa Peretti's designs. I've been admiring your collection for Monica Vinader and I can see you're giving back some love - really cool pieces.
Exquisite homage to an icon. Thank you.
What a talent…what a life. I adore Elsa !
🤍
Love this channel that I can actually learn something about what the true fashion is
This was so wonderful. Thank you Kate for covering Elsa in such a refreshing and tasteful way 🙏🏼
🤍
Elsa Peretti was always such an inspiration to me as well. When I was young, I saved up for just a few beautiful pieces of her jewelry. I still love and wear my bracelets and my bottle necklace (that was a gift from my husband). She was such a special and wonderful artist! I've always wanted a snake necklace...one day! Thank you Ms. Peretti & Kate! XO
🤍🤍🤍
I loved learning about Elsa! Thank you for this!
WOW your channel is a fashion treasure!! This is exactly type of information i was looking for, you put everything in context. Thank you!!!
Absolutely enjoyable! Cherry on the top is your sustained smile throughout the video! Thanks Kate.
❤️
Precious! You just made me so interested in Elsa and her works of art!
🤍
Wow , hands down one of my favourite episodes...you are so knowledgable and fluent in your explanation 🙌🙏
🤍
Love this episode. So inspiring. All your videos are , for that matter. 😊😊
I love this kind of history of style segment. In your mood boards episode I was trying to think of icons, and while I had some moments that I could think of - I never felt like I knew who to accredit them to. Seeing Elsa through your eyes gave me a whole new appreciation. Who else do you look to?
So many people! ❤️
Thank you so much Kate for this videos, one of the best I’ve seen so far from Elsa. May she rest in peace. She’s one of my biggest references and inspirations
🤍
So so so knowledgable...loved it😍😍😍
And now a full documentary on Elsa please!!
🤍🤍🤍
You are extremely well spoken! Your choice of words and summarization are spot on.
🖤
Such a lovely tribute! What a magical corner you've created on your channel
🤍
Fantastic tribute to an amazing creator.
End of an era for sure.
Legendary people like Elsa Peretti only come along infrequently.
Her oeuvre of work lives on.
🤍
This was so informative and full of passion, looking forward to future episodes!
❤️
Amazing tribute! I love the references.... and the snake necklace you were wearing so beautiful.
🤍
Thank you for the education and introducing us to an amazing artist. I was familiar with a few of these pieces but didn't realize how interconnected they were with Tiffany's history. I'm totally in love with the bone cuff, snake necklace and the mesh not that I know their history. Thank you again!
A pleasure for my ears. I love everything about this youtube Channel ✨ thank you for sharing these precious treasures with us 🥰✨😅
❤️
I still remember the moment when I received my first Tiffany&Co Elsa earrings and bracelet when I was 13. She will be missed ❤️✨
🤍
You just gave me as a fashion amateur, an educational, exciting lecture in 10 mins! I wish all my teachers could do the same! Thank you Kate!
Hahah! Thanks!
Kate, please do more videos like these, so inspiring and educational 🤍🖤 you’re amazing!
🤍
Great episode! I'm a big fan of Peretti's work too. Am enjoying your channel.
💕

Here I am thinking, Kate should do something on Elsa...im so late, your a goddess. these stories are so important
🤍
Wow I had no idea I was wearing some of her
necklaces for 5yrs AND that the creator has such a fascinating story! I just liked the design! Thanks for these gems, Kate 😍
🤍🤍🤍
omg. i think this is my favourite video so far! Thank you for sharing elsa´s work so us younger fashionistas can learn about this powerhouse of a woman.
🤍🤍🤍
This is the most wonderful tribute! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge! I have always loved Elsa Peretti jewellery but never known the fascinating inspirations behind her work!
🤍
Just so interesting and full-filling. Thank you for making these videos. Finally a place here where there is actual context around fashion.
🤍
What a great channel!! I'm so glad you are here!!
❤️
Thank you for the very informative and enjoyable view into Elsa Peretti’s world. Raquel Welch wore a bone cuff bracelet on the cover of her Hatha Yoga Book 📖 and video in the 1970’s. I have wanted one ever since. My son found one for me. I explained the desire for this design. Unfortunately Elsa Peretti passed away one month after I received my lovely cuff bracelet. Thank you Elsa for your inspirations.
This is a wonderful channel. I look forward to more informative videos. By the way Kate, my hair is very long and naturally white.
I’m v jealous of your hair & cuff!!!
Please talk more about what you discussed with Hung Vanngo-the differences between a cheap & expensive pair of jeans and why high fashion costs so much (and how much effort & materials go into it). Loving your content & looking forward to learning more!
❤️
I love you so much! Thanks for this 💜
