Tony Duquette Reimagined by Pharaoun Camelot Cocktail Charm Bracelet
Tony Duquette Tony Duquette was one of the great tastemakers of the 20th century, and even though I never had the chance to meet him, his prolific body of work and the broad range of his designs are a huge inspiration to me. A protege of the original American interior designer Elsie de Wolfe, Tony came of age just after the Second World War, and found his voice in the rarefied atmosphere where the Jet Set and Hollywood royalty converged. Immediately recognized for his talent, in 1950 he was the first American to be honored with a one man exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris. His paintings, sculpture, furniture, jewelry, and designs for the theatre exhibited there reveal the breadth of his boundless creativity. Tony has inspired me through the books written about him, the monumental home he left (Dawnridge in Beverly Hills California), and his protege Hutton Wilkinson, who is just as exceptional as his mentor, and continues to push design forward today.
