A NEW LOOK AT TIFFANY: John Geppert, second from left, vice president of Tiffany & Co.'s Oahu Market, welcomed Kristen Chan, her husband, Michael Chan and Jay Jensen, curator of the Contemporary Museum, to an intimate party at Tiffany's Waikiki store last Friday. A short list of A-list Tiffany customers and museum supporters enjoyed champagne and heavy pupus from Chai's Island Bistro while perusing Tiffany's first collection of jewelry designs by architect Frank Gehry. The artistic aspect of Gehry's work was emphasized by the continuous showing of his sketches as animated wall art, but, unfortunately, the animated "live graffiti" wall art installation was not for sale.
