PORTRAIT BY DAVID X PRUTTING STYLE DIARY T he last six months have been a whirlwind for Lizzie Tisch. Last fall, she and partner Kim Kassel founded Suite 1521, a membership-based luxury fashion retail experience, in New York's prestigious 980 Madison Avenue building (also home to Gagosian Gallery's uptown outpost) and Vanity Fair included her on their "International Best-Dressed List"—the ultimate style accolade. This spring, the milestones continue when The Costume Institute's renovated wing—made possible by a $10 million donation by Tisch and her husband Jonathan—reopens as the Anna Wintour Costume Center, which will include the 4,200-square-foot Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Gallery. Fashion and philanthropy go hand- in-hand for Tisch: in addition to The Met where she is chair of Friends of The Costume Institute, she also serves on the board of Citymeals-on-Wheels and is a member of the Couture Council at FIT. —TJ Nicholas Kirkwood sage raffia hexagon pump, Saks Fifth Avenue { UNFORBIDDEN FRUIT "I have my eyes on Edie Parker for my spring wardrobe wishlist!
