Tiffany Blue Is Star of Fendi X Tiffany Winter Campaigns by Johnny Dufort

Tiffany Blue Is Star of Fendi X Tiffany Winter Campaigns by Johnny Dufort

Technically-speaking this fashion campaign is about Fendi’s x Tiffany winter-drop two weeks before the holidays. Yet the power of a color — Tiffany Blue — defines it’s larger message and impact. The campaign is promoted almost solely by Fendi.

Trademarked as a color in 1998, and added as an official color to the Pantone system in 2001 [use governed exclusively by Tiffany], the color was trademarked in every classification.

Maverick artist Stuart Semple dared Tiffany & Co to sue him, when he liberated Tiffany Blue in 2021, creating Tiff.

Most IP lawyers agree that Tiffany would have won a lawsuit against Semple. The question was if they really wanted to sue artists — famous and not famous — the audience who bought the soldout Tiff acrylic paint at once.

The answer is no.

Dior Beauty Mitzah Collection, Simone de Beauvoir and Animal Prints: Tensions in Women's History

Dior Beauty Mitzah Collection, Simone de Beauvoir and Animal Prints: Tensions in Women's History

No one has been more committed to use her fashion shows platform to tell women’s stories than Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Dior ambassador Anya Taylor-Joy has a life-long passion and fascination with animals. The star adores animal prints, making her the perfect face for Dior Beauty’s Dior Mitzah collection.

Christian Dior’s original muse Mitzah Bricard inspired him to recognize the leopard print as a reputable trend.

Mitzah’s advice was: “When a man wants to send you flowers, always say — ‘my florist is Cartier.’” “Madame Bricard is one of the rare people for whom elegance is their sole reason for living,” wrote Dior.

Simone de Beauvoir’s ‘The Second Sex’ was published in 1949, when the French existentialist philosopher, social theorist and feminist activist was age 41.

The lifelong partner and lover of Jean Paul Sartre wrote a piece for Vogue in 1947, arguing that “Femininity is a Trap”. Dior’s Chiuri used the 1947 statement in her Pre-Fall 2022 show.
