WWD.comOnce upon a time, Whorehouse Press Pimps I.M. and D.W. toiled away in Eleanor Lambert's office on such clients as Tiffany & Co., Fernando Sanchez, Joan & David (the shoes people!), all while fondling the gorgey jewels of Verdura.
In celebrating its 70th anniversary this month, Verdura is releasing a limited edition piece, the Icon Bracelet, which is an homage to founder Fulco Santostefano della Cerda, Duke of Verdura, known as Fulco di Verdura. The style is a combination of Verdura's most popular charms on its rope chain and only 100 will be produced, each featuring the signature V logo, Verdura seashell, wrapped heart, comedy and tragedy mask, Maltese Cross and chessman.
There is also a retrospective exhibition "Verdura: The Life and Work of a Master Jeweler," beginning November 16th at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
Hmmm ... should the Whorehouse go for a celebrity product placement on Loho?
