A curated guide to LA's art, fashion and entertainment scene Tiffany & Co. launches a new Pharrell Williams collection, the Hammer Museum honors Ann Philbin, designer Anine Bing debuts her solo album and Sofia Coppola reveals a beauty collab with Augustinus Bader By Rachel Marlowe Source: Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co. launches the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection LVMH-owned American luxury jewelry brand Tiffany & Co. debuted the [Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams](collection last week. For the collection, the Louis Vuitton Men’s creative director took inspiration from Ancient Greek god of the sea Poseidon’s mythical trident. “We are excited to unveil Pharrell’s inaugural collection for Tiffany. The Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection defies the conventions of fine jewelry design. It represents a balance of Pharrell’s creative vision with Tiffany & Co.’s inventive craftsmanship,” Alexandre Arnault, Tiffany & Co.'s EVP of product, communications and industrial, said. “Each piece embodies Pharrell’s distinct style and unique point of view.” Adopting the structure of the trident, the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection incorporates sharp, spear-like spikes within an array of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings embodying a sense of punk spirit. Offered in 18-carat yellow gold or titanium with all metal and diamond iterations, each piece challenges conventional methods in their design. “I’m very inspired by the water, and the name of this collection, Titan, draws inspiration from Poseidon, ruler of the sea, King of Atlantis,” Williams said. “Atlantis is also the name of the community I grew up in Virginia Beach. The detail in all of the jewelry pieces is very intentional, the use of black titanium … It’s a physical manifestation of beauty in blackness.” Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams is available now nationwide exclusively on Tiffany.com and at The Landmark in New York City. The collection will be available globally at Tiffany & Co. stores in June.

Augustinus Bader's Charles Rosier and Sofia Coppola (Source: Matteo Prandoni/BFA) Augustinus Bader announces a Sofia Coppola collaboration Premium skin and haircare line Augustinus Bader released a collaboration with filmmaker Sofia Coppola., the [Augustinus Bader x Sofia Coppola]( collection, which reimagines the brand’s lip balm in three tinted shades. "The Bader lip balm is one of my favorites, so I was excited when the brand agreed to collaborate on a tinted version,” Coppola said. “Shade 1 is based on a favorite sheer deep pink lipstick I hoarded after it was discontinued, that’s easy and adds a brightening, subtle tint. Shade 2 is a red coral I like for summer or at the beach. And Shade 3 is a burnt, earthy plum.” Formulated with a hydrating blend of plant-based butters and oils, including shea butter, vitamin E and candelilla wax, and powered by Augustinus Bader’s TFC8® technology, the tinted balm enhances lips with a sheer wash of color that builds with each application, while also nourishing, plumping and renewing for softer, smoother, healthier lips. Launched in 2018, the line of skin, body and haircare products is inspired by over 30 years of groundbreaking research led by stem cell scientist and doctor of regenerative medicine, Professor Augustinus Bader. The brand also has collaborations with designers Victoria Beckham and Haider Ackermann. Have a news story for our readers?
