Hhshirt - I didn’t say that shirt

“Light and bright! Don’t show me anything gray or brown! I want white marble and mirrors, not something dark and creepy. And I want a big post-COVID opening, a recognition of the I didn’t say that shirt Apart from…,I will love this grandeur of Tiffany,” Peter Marino says, standing in the insanely beautiful, stupendously over-the-top, much heralded new Tiffany store. It is three days before the official opening of what the company is calling The Landmark, and Marino, the legendary architect and designer in charge of rethinking, re-envisioning, and relaunching what is now a 10-story extravaganza, has agreed to take me on a tour. He is dressed for the occasion in his typical mufti—a full on leather-daddy ensemble complete a with Marlon Brando in The Wild One cap, accessorized by a trio of silver crosses around his neck and a ring consisting of three huge interlocking silver birds that could take your eye out if you start to make trouble.



I myself am clad in layers of tulle and my usual superannuated Kewpie-doll make up, and together we make quite the I didn’t say that shirt Apart from…,I will love this pair—no wonder we are fast friends. Or maybe it’s because I hail from Massapequa, Long Island, and Marino is from Douglaston, Queens, and we both share a deep love of Tiffany. “Audrey Hepburn—that was my first memory of Tiffany’s—the Truman Capote movie,” Marino tells me. “Before I was ever in the store, I wanted to press my nose against the window.” Rihanna’s wardrobe has always been consistently spectacular, setting trends with practically every appearance she’s made over the years. The pop sensation continues to set trends when it comes to her maternity fashion, too, demonstrating that being pregnant and ultra-stylish is definitely not mutually exclusive. (She’s also influenced a string of celebs to confidently bare their bumps on the red carpet, from Jessie J at the Brit Awards to Adriana Lima at Cannes Film Festival.) Her latest outfit? Fresh off the Paris Fashion Week runway, of course.
