Baum und Pferdgarten Resort 2026 Collection
Holly Golightly frequently appears on designers' mood boards—but Audrey Hepburn's Breakfast At Tiffany's character is rarely (if ever) referenced alongside indie rock band Mazzy Star, as was the case for Baum und Pferdgarten's resort 2026 collection. 'Holly is very full of hope and life, and for us, Mazzy Star's music is more introverted,' the brand's co-founder Helle Hestehave explained in a preview. 'It was these two opposites [that] we found interesting to work with.' That sense of duality could be found quite literally in the use of black and white within the collection. Despite Golightly's much-cited black Givenchy dress, it was the latter color that symbolized the character's 'lightness,' from the opera coat printed with delicate pink roses to the matching shift dress and slip. On the other end of the spectrum, a black minidress adorned with oversized flowers reflected Mazzy Star's indie spirit ('we could easily see [lead singer Hope Sandoval] wearing it on stage, with her Dr. Martens,' co-founder Rikke Baumgarten said), along with the flannel outerwear and burgundy leather trousers. Inspirations aside, Hestehave and Baumgarten's latest collection doubled down on the hard-working staples we've seen from the pair in recent seasons. There's an eminently wearable navy duffle coat and matching midi-skirt; denim coordinates that can be styled together or apart; and the brand's signature leopard print. These all reflected Baum's successful pivot towards an older customer in the past year or so. 'We used to be much more [about] print[s] and puffs and bows, but we are in a place where we are much more focused on pieces that can go on for a longer time,' Baumgarten said.

Iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's brownstone hits market at $15 million
Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany once said: 'I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together' - and this might be the place for fans of the iconic 1961 film to do just that. If you want a slice of Hollywood history, this could be your chance, as the gorgeous Upper East Side brownstone made famous in Breakfast at Tiffany's is now up for sale. The turn-of-the-century townhouse, which was used as the façade for Audrey Hepburn's socialite character, Holly, has hit the market at $15 million. Though the interior scenes of the apartment were filmed on a studio lot, the home is still regarded as one of New York City 's most famous movie homes. The townhouse, located at 169 East 71st Street, is a landmarked, five-story residence and even has a sweet nod to the movie that made it famous featuring a Tiffany-blue door. The brownstone is also mere steps away from Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. As per the listing, the 4,465-square-foot five-story home features an elevator, fully built-out basement, and recently underwent an extensive three-year renovation - restoring the home with 'no expense spared.' The abode also has a 30-foot landscaped garden with custom latticework, two setback terraces, four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and three powder rooms, making it as iconic as the film. It could event function as a multi-family home, with a separate entrance in the garden for a second residence, featuring a den, a large bedroom, and an open kitchen. The home, which was built in 1910, features 10-foot ceilings and original architectural details, with the listing boasting that it 'blends seamlessly with refined upgrades.' There's no reason to even leave the house for a night out, with a bar area in the basement level featuring stone walls and a wine cellar with two Liebherr wine fridges. As per the listing, t he home was previously sold for $1.8 million in 2000 and for $5.9 million in 2012. TODAY also reported that the home was sold in 2015 for $7.4 million. In 2021, the entire townhouse was available for rent through the luxury rental site Inspirato, as per Town & Country. According to Inspirato's website, they are 'leaders' in luxury travel, offering exclusive access to a curated portfolio of luxury vacation homes, five-star hotel and resort partners, immersive adventures, and personalized trip planning. They publication reported that Inspirato Pass holders could rent the home for a $2,500 flat monthly fee. Inspirato Club members were reportedly required to pay a nightly fee, which was in addition to their typical $600-a-month subscription to the luxury rental site. However, the pricey stay did include concierge services as well as a 'stocked fridge.'

The New York City apartment from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is on the market for $15 million. It features a Tiffany-blue door.
The five-story apartment building seen in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is on sale for $15 million. The New York City brownstone served as the façade for Holly Golightly's apartment in exterior shots. It's one of the most iconic movie homes in the city and features a Tiffany-blue door. Break out those black sunglasses and pearls, because for the first time in decades, you could own a slice of New York City's cinematic history. The iconic New York brownstone that served as the façade for Holly Golightly's apartment in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is now up for grabs after hitting the market for $15 million on May 15. Though the interior scenes of the apartment were filmed on a studio lot, the home is still regarded as one of New York City's most famous movie homes. It also features one major homage to the 1961 film: a Tiffany-blue door that overlooks a quaint, tree-lined Upper East Side street just steps away from Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. Here's a look inside the iconic home. The Upper East Side home is one of the most famous in New York City, with a price tag to match. The five-story townhouse on East 71st Street could serve as a two-family home thanks to a separate apartment on the garden level. The listing said the home was previously sold for $1.88 million in 2000 and for $5.975 million in 2012. TODAY also reported that the home was sold in 2015 for $7.4 million, making the most recent listing price double what it last sold for. The home has undergone an extensive three-year renovation and restoration project. The home, which was built in 1910, features 10-foot ceilings and original architectural details. "They say you can't buy history. At 169 East 71st, you sort of can," the Corcoran listing reads. The front sitting room features a marble gas fireplace and chandeliers. Though the home's exterior is well-known as the site of Holly Golightly's small one-bedroom New York City apartment, filming never actually took place inside the townhouse. Instead, all of the interior shots, including the famous party scene, were filmed on a studio lot in California. Still, the home is just a short walk from Tiffany's flagship New York City location at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, meaning future owners could have breakfast there if they so desired. The actual townhouse has a layout that includes a parlor-level dining room. The historic townhouse has renovated details like white-oak herringbone floors and updated light fixtures to blend the home's original architecture with a more modern style. The kitchen features more herringbone wood flooring and a marble mosaic backsplash imported from Italy. The chef's kitchen has luxe features like Calacatta Gold marble countertops, a six-burner Wolf range stove with vented hood, a Sub-Zero fridge, and custom cabinets. It has four bedrooms across its five floors. The third floor of the townhouse has two bedrooms, both of which have en-suite bathrooms and 9-foot-tall ceilings. The primary suite occupies the entirety of the fourth floor. The primary bedroom has a gas fireplace with an antique mantel and a separate dressing area with a vanity. In "Breakfast at Tiffany's," the main character, Holly, has a bathtub in the middle of her living room. The primary bathroom of the real-life townhouse has a freestanding soaking tub made with polished nickel, a walk-in shower, and Calacatta Gold Damask-patterned marble. There's a large terrace off the primary suite. The terrace spans 247 square feet and overlooks the Upper East Side. The garden level acts as a secondary residence that future owners could rent out. The one-bedroom apartment features exposed brick walls, a den, and a full kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. One impressive feature of the home is the large fenced-in garden. The townhouse has an elevator to get between the home's multiple stories. In the basement level, there's a bar area with stone walls and a wine cellar with two Liebherr wine fridges. Town & Country reported that in 2021, the entire townhouse was available for rent through the rental site Inspirato. Inspirato Pass holders could rent the home for a $2,500 flat monthly fee. Inspirato Club members were required to pay a nightly fee in addition to their typical $600-a-month subscription to the luxury rental site. While the price might sound steep, the outlet reported that the rental included concierge services and a "stocked fridge." New owners will have to stock their own fridge — though for someone buying a home with a listing price of $15 million, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

At Tiffany, Its Watch Director Shapes the Story
Tiffany & Company, the jewelry house of Holly Golightly and Beyoncé alike, made its debut last month at LVMH Watch Week, the luxury group's annual presentation of new watches, held this year in New York and Paris. Its appearance alongside the likes of TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot and Bulgari was just the latest in Tiffany's efforts to expand its profile in contemporary watchmaking since LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton bought the house for almost $16 billion in 2021. The Watch Week debut was a 'significant milestone,' Anthony Ledru, the chief executive, wrote in an email, that 'not only allows us to share our rich history of inventiveness in the world of horology but also to showcase our vision for the future of Tiffany watches. At Tiffany, every watch tells a story.' And the man behind those stories is Nicolas Beau, the vice president of Tiffany Horlogerie, the jeweler's watchmaking arm that now employs 50 people at its Geneva headquarters. Mr. Beau joined the house in 2021 after spending nearly 20 years in watches and jewelry at Chanel and earlier stints at Cartier and Baume & Mercier, both owned by Richemont. In a video interview from Geneva before the Watch Week presentations, Mr. Beau said that, when he was considering the move to Tiffany, he had been 'extremely surprised' to learn of its long and rich watchmaking past, including the establishment of a factory in Geneva in 1874. 'It had been leading the way in the late 1800s and early 1900s to a point that you'd expect from mostly Swiss, British or even French companies at that time,' he said. 'That very strong heritage and past is a chance for the future.' Five jewelry watches were introduced at the Watch Week presentations, two of which were inspired by the famous Bird on a Rock brooch first created by Jean Schlumberger in 1965. (The bird has become something of a touchstone for Tiffany recently, even appearing in festive lights on the flagship Fifth Avenue store in December.) Jewelry watches, Mr. Beau said, are one of the three categories that now make up the horology division's streamlined offerings. The others are a classic collection, which includes the Atlas watch line, introduced in 1983 and inspired by the New York store's signature Atlas clock; and a playful line of table clocks called Time Objects, referencing Tiffany's clock making heritage but in the shapes of planes, sports cars and New York's signature yellow taxis. As part of the change, he said, some watch models will be discontinued, including the 1940s style East West design, which has a horizontal dial, and the oval Cocktail collection. During the interview, which has been edited and condensed, Mr. Beau talked about his strategy for Tiffany watches, where the industry is going and the differences between fathers and sons. What does the LVMH Watch Week debut mean to you, as a watchmaker? It's obviously very important. The reason we haven't been there until now is just because we were not ready. The company was acquired nearly four-and-a-half years ago and our strategy was to go back to our roots — the roots of which are in Geneva. To showcase that change, it was important to give ourselves a little time. What is the strategy for the watch division? Because we are a jeweler, when it comes to creation, we have a design-first philosophy. And within that philosophy, we are creating watches that are related to that history and jeweler's DNA, and obviously incorporating some serious elements of watchmaking. Being a jeweler is a bit different from being a pure watchmaker. It's about always trying to find this right balance between being a jeweler and watchmaker — it's a subtle balance. Tiffany still is mainly known as a jeweler. What are the challenges in positioning it as a watchmaker? The challenge is to make the public know about our rich history and heritage. Traveling in New York, I find that people know, as well as those in some key cities in the U.S. where Tiffany was so strong for so many years. In the rest of the world, it is sometimes totally unknown for watches. We need to combine this focus on the past and build the future. The company is evolving very fast, transforming in many directions, and we are within that transformation. I like to call it 'back to the future.' What is your outlook for the watch industry right now? When I look at the market today, I find two very interesting things. There are two types of companies which are successful — or staying pretty successful — in a time that's not great economically. You have very traditional watchmakers, most of which are independent. They can be big and part of a group. But they can also be very small. And there are jewelers. When you look at the great jewelers, they all are doing pretty well today — and we are doing pretty well, too. I think there is this search for very authentic, traditional watches incarnated by those independent brands. And a search for very jewelry-related timepieces. One of the new jewelry watches from LVMH Watch Week was the Eternity by Tiffany Wisteria, part of a collection that features diamond hour markers in different cuts, from princess to heart shape. The floral motif dial recalls the famous Wisteria lamp created by Tiffany Studios in the early 20th century. What does the design represent? When I was talking about the connection between the art of watchmaking, the art of jewelry and Tiffany's various histories and DNA, here you have a watch that is inspired by the Tiffany lamps and all the work on the diamonds with the 12 different cuts. And with a LTM mechanical movement. You'll also find the crown set with a diamond in the six-prong Tiffany Setting. This watch illustrates what I am trying to evoke. How did you get into watches? My father was an electrical engineer, a pure engineer, and the only thing he was interested in was technique. Ever since I was young he was always bringing me electronic watches, mostly from Japan at the time, and being so proud that they could measure temperature, the altitude, the weather. But this was not speaking to me. Years later, when I was working in watchmaking, I bought him his first luxury watch for his birthday. It was only telling the time and had to be rewound every 24 hours. I remember his face, thinking 'What is this?' He thought I was crazy. It was more a culture shock for my father, who was so much about technology, while I was much more about art and hand craftsmanship. That's why I went into watchmaking actually — I'm so passionate about hand crafting, even a piece of furniture — and I think it was also about wanting to go in a different direction than your parents.
