T&C Culture Watch: On the Agenda for December 2023
Where are we going?
Every year a quintet of creative icons are recognized for their achievements with the Kennedy Center Honors. Consider it America’s OBE, except here we throw a great party, too, attended by POTUS and broadcast on TV. Balanchine and Astaire were among the first recipients, in 1978; this month Queen Latifah, Billy Crystal, Dionne Warwick, Barry Gibb, and Renée Fleming join the crew.
What are we wearing?
Extraordinary flair earned Harry Winston the moniker “King of Diamonds.” Today that title remains unchallenged. Just look up: More than 200 diamonds and sapphires are hand-set on the watch (which doubles as a pendant or brooch) to evoke the founder’s beloved emerald cut. Speaking of legacy, while you’re in DC, do drop by the Smithsonian to see the Hope Diamond. Guess who donated it?
