ALEXANDRE DE BETAK has been designing fashion shows for the past 25 years: from Dior in Moscow's Red Square to Tiffany's in Beijing’s Forbidden City. The last Jacquemus show staged in a wheat field outside of Paris? That was the work of his creative agency, Bureau Betak.

ONLY 6 DAYS into the new year and we're still taking things very slowly here at TIG, as you may have noticed. A new year is always a good time for a palate cleanser, and this spare and spacious Paris apartment is the perfect place to begin. The space was designed by Helene Van Marcke, a designer and architect who was born in Ghent, Belgium and counts the Arte Povera movement and old American Shaker houses as inspiration ...
THE INTERNET is a funny place—it can be both stifflingly small and a place so large, that we can all be "known" in our own little corner of it without ever running into each other. I only discovered Pia Baroncini, the Creative Director of Los Angeles clothing label LPA, today and loved the little glimpses she gave on Instagram of her Spanish colonial home in Pasadena, California ...
WE ARE UTTERLY charmed by John Galliano's 18th-century country house in Gerberoy, a quaint village 50 miles northwest of Paris. Galliano, the creative director of Maison Margiela since 2014, shares the home with partner, Alexis Roche, and it's a bohemian eclectic marvel filled with bright colours and flea market finds, all juxtaposed in the most cosy and comfortable way ...
HAPPY DECEMBER! Can you believe that it's already the last month of the year? Feel like 2021 just flew by and don't really know what I did in all this time. Know that had meant to get through more books. I did complete a web design and launch that had been planned long ago, and definitely got a lot of decorating done at the cottage since we've been homebound for the last two years ...
CHANCES ARE, you're already familiar with the work of Canadian interior designer Ashely Montgomery, for her designs have been all over Instagram lately. And it's no wonder—the effortless mix of deep wood tones and marble, ceiling beams and brass is both elegant and liveable at once ...
IF YOU'RE wondering how we came across the work of Gregory Mellor, it is through the Bobbejaanskloof Private Nature Reserve in South Africa that we featured here last week. The Cape Town-based designer was behind that wonderfully decorated travel resort and you may see similarities to this home in the Karoo, a semi-desert natural region of South Africa ...
BEIJING-BORN Savi of @savislook's home was first featured here in our piece on the Camaleonda Sofa by Mario Bellini. The Weibo and YouTube influencer often gives glimpses of her home on her Instagram page and its filled with old-school vibes: 50s farmhouse meets mid-century modern with a nod to the 70s by way of an orange striped shag rug ...
WE HAPPENED upon this bright 100m2 top floor Paris apartment in the 17th arrondissement on the Côté Maison Instagram page and was immediately drawn to its laid-back bohemian romantic style. Home to a family of four, the busy couple hired Quitterie de Pascal to carry out a complete renovation on the space as well as the 25m2 of rooftop terrace space, with interior decoration services complete with furnishings ...
Recently, P introduced me to Raindrop, a web extension that organises everything into tidy folders. In it, there is a folder where I keep TIG article ideas and that's where I remembered the home of English designer (and son of the late Terence Conran), Jasper Conran's, home in Bridport, a market town in Dorset, England ...
THE HOME OF Lena Terlutter is one of the most bold and modern spaces that we have ever featured here at TIG. The fashion entrepreneur, who opened the concept store Belgique Boutique in 2010, lives in a large open-plan loft style space in Cologne, Germany with her husband and four children. The home features an all-white palette punctuated by rustic wood beams and large-scale framed black and white photography ...
WE HAPPENED UPON the beautiful home of Danish artist and interior stylist Simone Polk Dahl on Instagram and have fallen completely in love with the easy-going vibes of this space with its neutral palette of black, beige and brown tones ...
WHILE IN THE process of transitioning from an old bookmark organiser to a new one, I found saved links to The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach that had been meaning to tell you about. Called the most Instagrammable Hotel of 2020 by Vanity Fair ...
STYLIST AND CREATIVE Director Pernille Teisbaek's Copenhagen home blends together all of the beautiful elements that we love most: marble upon marble and chevron wood floors; boiserie and architectural features such as pillars and ceiling beams. There's a soft sunlit glow about the space due to filmy sheer curtains that puddle on the floor ...
I HAVE BEEN coming across so many wonderful interiors on Instagram lately: first there was the French country house yesterday morning, and now today, this wonderfully chic Brooklyn apartment belonging to Mallory and David (and their three cats) @reserve_home.
