The design director of Tiffany & Co. who is the author of the new book Tiffany in Fashion. The book is a Study of American Fashion and Fashion Photography, combed through every issue of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar from 1933 to today doing research, and his hard work shows.
Tiffany in Fashion is a coffee-table book featuring 250 gorgeous images by the world’s best fashion photographers, covering the past 70 years of fashion and accessories. The book also includes essays by designer James Galanos and fashion icon Eleanor Lambert, who played a large part in the research of the book before she died at 100 years old last year.
During a phone interview, Loring who was in town promoting the book Wednesday says besides going through hundreds of issues of magazines, it was quite an adventure tracking down photographs that were in good condition from film and other media.
“When much of this material was printed for the first time, the printing was so bad you couldn’t tell what was really going on,” Loring says. “So, this is the first time people have been able to see some of these photographs.” In writing this book, Loring says he and Lambert were tyring to tell the story of American fashion.
Anyone who enjoys Tiffany & Co. jewelery and fashion will absolutely love this book. It is simply amazing. Looking at the fashion ads throughout the years is great. This book is a great addition to any fashion book collection and it makes a great coffee table book.
