As a female designer I have always been deeply inspired by Elsa Peretti’s vision and enduring legacy. So it was truly an honor to have the opportunity to visit her homes in Martí Vell, Spain in celebration of the 50th anniversary of her collaboration w Tiffany & Co. It was a moving experience for me, of which I’ve captured in a photo diary. and an opportunity that I will always be grateful for.
