Elsa Peretti PH: Helmut Newton: A picture that made you want to move to NYC

To have conventional (or even unconventional) beauty and then to have a mind than can craft beautiful objects...it' s the kind of unfair blessing that only makes sense in fashion. Our case study for the theory today? Elsa Peretti, she of the well to do Roman family, educated, according to Wikipedia at the Volbicela School in Rome, with a diploma in interior design. 5' 9" and of course an ex-model, Elsa fled to NY where she fell in with the Halston circle and started designing the landmark jewelry that became inextricable in spirit from the clothes.
