Tiffany Works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art is always on my list when in the city. Unfortunately, you cannot see everything with one visit. Or even two. This museum is so large, and has so many interesting exhibits all the time, don't be upset if you cannot get through it all. Tiffany is one of my favorite artists and these items on display at the Met are just so gorgeous. You can click on my photos to enlarge to read the information as well. 

One of my favorites to see in person, no matter how many times! 

I am a HUGE fan of Mosaic's too !! 

If you click HERE there are a bunch of items in the museum of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Such beauty in each one.

Tiffany and Rachel Zoe 2012 Window Collaboration

photo of Rachel Zoe from tiffany.com website 

I was thrilled to be in the city just when the Rachel Zoe windows were open for viewing by the public. Here is some background from Tiffany themselves along with my photos to follow. I think they all really capture each decade pretty well indeed. 

In honor of the 2012 Academy Awards®, Tiffany unveiled its window collaboration with Rachel Zoe on February 16 at its flagship store in New York City. On view through February 27, the five displays brilliantly capture Hollywood glamour with exquisite Tiffany jewels.

THE 1930'S OPULENCE AND GLAMOUR IS TIMELESS  

THE 1940'S FILMS WERE FULL OF FASHION, CULTURE AND CHARACTERS  

THE 1950'S RED CARPET WAS A TIME WHEN MOVIE STARS WERE BORN  

1960's GEOMETRY OF HOLLYWOOD 

               THE 1970'S GLAMOUR WINDOW  

Each spectacular showcase evokes a particular decade, from the classic elegance of movie stars from the 1930s to the eclectic style of the 1970s. Rachel Zoe’s windows were also launched around the world and are on view at Tiffany flagship stores in Beverly Hills, Hong Kong, Singapore and London through February 27, 2012. They will unveil in Tokyo the week of February 27, 2012.


I hope you enjoyed these wonderful treats! I loved the touch of Rachel's personal message for each window with her signature as well. A really nice touch. My faves were the 1940's and 1950's. What are yours?
