The thing that amuses me is that Tiffany doesn't put much effort in explaining themselves. There's no craft. It's just Target ware for people that don't understand more, yet have some money.Tiffany’s chief artistic officer, Reed Krakoff, said of Everyday Objects: “What makes the collection unique is that it incorporates the best quality, craftsmanship and design with a level of functionality that allows you to use these things every day”.
It's really reminiscent of the "Derelicte" campaign from Zoolander. I don't think it's Targetware. I think it's supposed to ridicule the fact that most people can't afford this stuff. Remember the bankers who hung out on their balconies above Zucotti park drinking champagne while Occupy was happening, laughing and taunting? Those are the people who would buy a $1000 tin can. It's not lack of understand; it's deliberate antagonism.
I had the opposite reaction as this tweet: I take this as evidence that the 2008 crisis is over and the 2018 crisis has already started.If this doesn't prove beyond all doubt that the global financial crisis is over than I don't know what will.
Does our hatred of this make it more desirable to a certain portion of rich people?
Certain folks identify their personal value is solely their power to go out and acquire crap. “Look how impressive I am! I can pay a thousand times more for a precious metal can than everyone else can. I’ll have it sit on my shelf and remind me how awesome my money power makes me.” Sad-ball douchebags. I don’t want to hate them though, takes too much energy. They’re just annoying. At least, I imagine they are. I don’t know anyone that’s into this stuff. Can’t say I’d want to be around a person that values that sort of thing.
