Amfitheatrof held a discussion on her life's work on Thursday at Vuitton's '200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries' exhibit in New York City.
Above all, Amfitheatrof stressed the importance of space; Space from the pressures of commercial success, space from too much derivative influence and space from executive micromanagement.
Amfitheatrof also cautioned against looking too much into the past. “We’re living in an era of the archive. And what I mean by that is, especially in jewelry and fashion today, we’re looking into the past way too much. Everyone is obsessed with the archive because it’s so driven by marketing. And actually, I think it’s killing creativity,” she said.
Amfitheatrof said a healthy distance from the archives is one of her defining legacies from Tiffany & Co., where she spent four years as the jeweler’s design director. In 2017, Amfitheatrof departed Tiffany in a creative management shake-up that led to the ascent of Reed Krakoff, who had until then been focused on home product and leather goods designs for the jeweler. “I left Tiffany in a really horrible way to be honest and it’s very unpleasant. It’s very hurtful,” she said of the experience.
