The Skinny On: The Met Costume Ball
Hosted by Anna Wintour, the Met Ball is when the tick of Hollywood feasts itself on the blood of high fashion...or is it the other way around? No one can really tell through all the air kisses and champagne fizz, but no problemo! All that matters is that you’re a starlet who is lucky enough to have a ticket, you wear a dress that cost the amount of an entire year of a private college education.
This caveat excludes most of us from going—but that doesn’t mean if you ever find yourself stuck in an elevator with Andre Leon Talley, you can’t at least know what you’re talking about. Here’s your cheat sheet on the exclusive Met Ball…
Each year, the Met Ball has a different theme relating to the exhibit at the Costume Institute. Attendees of the party tend to dress accordingly—one year was Anglomania and another year was superheroes. This year, the theme is models in honor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s show, “Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion.”
It’s colloquially referred to as “Anna’s party” and only the most of-the-moment guests are invited. Oh yeah, and those guests who can afford it! Tickets cost upwards of $6,500 each and companies like Tiffany’s or Chanel buy tables for $65,000 to $150,000 each. The cash raises money for the Costume Institute at the Met.
While some couples attend together, like Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen (or Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese!), designers typically invite starlets as their dates. But the pairings can get really weird! Like in 2007 when the creators-and-their-muses included Michael Kors and Eva Mendes, Fransisco Costa and Christina Ricci, Valentino and Jennifer Garner, and—head scratch here—Donatella Versace and Hilary Swank.
All the men wear black tie, which doesn’t seem to suit George Clooney. Last year, Clooney joked to reporters, “I’m wearing a skirt under here, and the sequins are really chafing!”
Also in 2007, a female peacock escaped from a 20-foot-high gilded bird case erected in the Great Hall of the Met. Organizers chased her—she’s called a “peahen"—around the museum until they snagged her and put her back with her three peacock friends. I guess, like a true supermodel, she just had to strut her stuff.
Diamond couple celebrate marriage

German Erika Seetzen met her English soldier Jim Woods at age 19, and after just a week of daily meetings the pair fell in love.
But fate nearly tore them apart when Jim was demobbed and sent back to England despite his protestations and efforts to stay.
A series of international love letters strengthened their relationship and on February 12, 1949, Erika bade farewell to her family and made the arduous trip to London, catching trains to Holland and then boarding the Princess Beatrix of New Zealand steamship.
“The weather was terrible, the sea was wild, the soup on the table spilled over the rim and everybody on board was feeling ill,” said Erika.
But when she finally reached London and saw her Jimmy waiting with his parents and sister she knew the journey had been worth it.
However, as a foreigner, Erika could only stay in the UK for two months and was due to leave on April 17, 1949.
The day before she and Jim married, though not without drama, as Jim and his best man could not get to the registry office as the buses were all full.
“It was a legging job as we ran from Latchford to Central Station, where we managed to get a taxi, bribe the driver, who got us to our destination with minutes to spare,” said Jim.
Sixty years and two children later, the couple, of Egerton Avenue in Bruche, are still as enamoured as they were in Germany all those years ago.
They have lived in Shrewsbury and Clevedon as well as Warrington. Jim was the youngest bus driver in Warrington in the 1950s and then ran a bargain centre agency.
Erika ran Tiffany fashion agency and Tiffany hairstyles.
“The success of our long marriage would be our mutual respect for each other, working together, going through thick and thing, pulling on the same road and laughing and having fun together,” said Erika.
The couple, who will both be 81 this month, celebrated with family at the Boysnope Golf Club in Manchester.

Tiffany & Co. The design of the Tiffany Keys Collection inspired by the classic collection of Tiffany Treasury Collection key. The key to old Totem demanding temperament elegant, to points in this series of silver, 18K gold, diamonds and platinum, or trailer, each corresponding to a unique personalization.
Carole White, founder of Premier Model Management
Since I work with young people, I am the original of what in fashion. I am by how models dress, but I adjust for that I'm not like mutton dressed as lamb. There are a million things I can not wear, because at my age - I'm 58th I like simple, practical clothes and expensive things Mix of High Street.
Do you usually wear much jewelry?
Yes, I am a creature of habit, and always the same songs. Former Aquamarine Ring was another gift from Naomi. She bought in New Orleans bought 10 years ago and greater still. The ring was my mother and grandmother. The eternity of the ring was my husband - we have together for 32 years and we are able to marry this summer. The long chain of Tiffany jewelry and all types - Cameo a medallion of a fortune teller, a religious symbol, to avert evil spirits and Argos "Mama" trailer for my son. My bracelets are friends and colleagues. I found the bracelet of gold buried at the beach in St. Tropez, when I was 18 years.
What do you think of your clothes on you?
In the work, hopefully strong, and the evening, I hope women.
What is the best advice that you had over the years?
That the way is beautiful, a lot of confidence and false, if you do not own.
What is your first memory of fashion?
To learn to control my makeup on Lucy Clayton [a modeling school], if I was 18 years. During this period - in the early 60s - Models to do their own hair and makeup. We all have contributed Max Factor Pan-Stick tape and brown Rouge. I was crap, and only three months. I'm much better in the search for models, as one.
Faire, whose style admire most?
Kate Moss, because it is very accessible by its appearance. Anyone can, even in things that door, that is why they so successful. Annoyingly, it is the only super model I have ever worked.
What do you advise us of your young fashion models?
Keep it simple. I advise them to wear Skinny jeans with a t-shirt - simple combinations shows that their shape and are not expensive.
Best buy?
Azzedine Alaia a pocket, I bought in auction in Cannes. I have £ 150 and had no idea it was worth £ 5000 to Izzie Blow [end of the designer] said. We will from time to time for lunch.
Has there been an opportunity, particularly if you fabulous?
Eight years ago, I went to a charity event in Barcelona, with Nelson Mandela and Naomi. I wore a dress amazing Aquamarin Ghost. It was really nice and because I wear a lot of black, said the man, as much to me. Working with Naomi opened many doors, but Mandela was the most beautiful person I met.

Louis Comfort Tiffany

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), the celebrated jewelry and glass designer, was
born the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co. His remarkable
career designing jewelry, windows and decorative glass spanned 57 years including
his tenure with L.C. Tiffany & Associates Artists, the Tiffany Glass Company, Tiffany
Studios, TIffany Furnaces, and L.C. Tiffany Furnaces. In 1902 he became Tiffany &
Co.'s first Design Director, creating fantastic jewelry designs inspired both by
nature and the art of other cultures. His patent for opalescent window glass in 1881
and his commissions for Mark Twain, Cornelius Vanderbilt and many others earned
him an international reputation. His work has been honored by museums and
treasured by collectors around the world.

Charles Lewis Tiffany

Charles Tiffany's tireless search for one-of-a-kind objects charmed and fascinated the wealthy of New York. But when the store obtained some of the French crown jewels in 1887, Tiffany's fame spread far and wide.
Charles Lewis Tiffany went on to introduce the nation's first retail catalogue. And, his obsession with the simple elegance of classic silver design earned Tiffany & Co. the highly coveted Award of Merit at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1867. This was the first time an American company had been recognized by a European jury.
Of the many individual achievements made under the leadership of Charles Lewis Tiffany, the introduction of the celebrated engagement ring in the 6-prong Tiffany® Setting is one of the most noteworthy. But, of course, Charles Lewis Tiffany's grandest accomplishment was to establish America's preeminent house of design and the world's premier jeweler.
Tiffany Diamond History

It was Tiffany & Co. that introduced the engagement ring as we know it today. Thecelebrated six-prong “Tiffany® Setting” lifts the diamond above the band and into thelight. The result is a ring whose beauty has never been equaled.
In 1848 the New York City newspapers dubbed Charles Lewis Tiffany “The King of Diamonds.” And with good reason. The quality of Tiffany diamonds was then, and remains, exemplary. In the spring of 1887, Tiffany shocked the world by purchasing the French Crown Jewels. From this time on, Tiffany became the world’s authority on the finest diamonds.
Soon Tiffany designers were creating brilliance of their own. From the glittering 1890s on, timeless Tiffany designs graced women from the finest families: the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the Morgans. Celebrities from the theater, sports and ultimately European royalty and Hollywood stars began to prize Tiffany diamond designs.
Around the world, museums treasure the Tiffany design aesthetic, from the Art Nouveau period to Art Deco to today’s modern classics. Year in, year out, the passion for Tiffany diamonds is clearly demonstrated in the world’s auction houses. Today, the world-famous 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond is on permanent display in the New York flagship store—proof positive of Tiffany’s diamond legacy.
But nowhere is a Tiffany diamond more beautiful or more treasured than in its place of honor: on the hand of a woman.

"10-Table" Super Bowl Ring for Giants

The Giants have selected a design for their Super Bowl XLII championship ring, and it's certainly noticeable. Designed by Tiffany & Co., the white gold ring features three Lombardi trophies and a lot of diamonds (Tiffany also makes the Lombardi trophy). Michael Strahan wanted a "10 table ring"-- as in people would be able to see it 10 tables away (not 10 tables heavy).
Player Shaun O'Hara, who sat on the design team along with Strahan, Eli Manning, Amani Toomer, coach Tom Coughlin and Giants management, told reporters, "There was some discussion about maybe one of the rings was too big. I threw out the fact that it was a big win, it was a huge win, so the ring should be designed accordingly."
One side will have the player's name and number, plus the phrase "Eleven on the Road." The other side will say "Super Bowl XLII" with the date.
