New York. A person can spend weeks in this port city without ever seeing the ocean. Skyscrapers. Central Park, with its sprawling lawns, trees, paths, vendors, a boathouse and restaurant: an urban refuge.
In 1967, the physicist John Wheeler was giving a lecture about a mysterious and startling phenomenon in deep space that the field was just beginning to understand.
“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive.” ―Ernest Hemingway
WHILE SEARCHING for charming British pubs on Instagram for a new project we're working on, happened upon new photos of Beaverbrook, the luxury country house hotel and spa we featured here in 2018. This quintessentially English estate overlooking the Surrey Hills ...
This is a time of fashion houses reissuing their iconic pieces, and with Fendi's reissuing of its Baguette on the SS19 runways and Karl Lagerfeld's recent passing away, the Italian fashion house is very much on everyone's minds. The late designer did, after all, work for the brand for 54 years. So for this edition of Style Inspiration, we'll look at the many iterations of Fendi's iconic FℲ branded pieces, from mock turtlenecks and knits to capes, tights, and trenches, and of course, the Baguette.
PARIS - Karl Lagerfeld passed away on the morning of Tuesday, February 19, 2019. He was 85. The extraordinary life of the designer, photographer and creative director is widely known. Here are a few highlights in this compilation of photos, moments, and quotations in memoriam of the late great design icon.
THIS WEEKEND we rented a scooter (our first time!) and drove to the beach, the wind in our hair on the quiet city streets. Today, it’s a holiday here, the shops are closed and the city is quiet, with many out of town for an extra long weekend. If you had believed in the idea of “Blue Monday”—that is, the idea that the third Monday in January is the most depressing day of the year, good news: the concept is actually pseudoscience, made up by a holiday company in 2005 to sell summer vacation packages. Don’t you feel better now? January is really not that bad, for it is a time of new beginnings…
In the follow up to our last round-up of Fashion Month favourites from New York, London & Milan, comes the final round-up of Spring 2019 Fashion Month Favourites. From Karl Lagerfeld's fantastical trompe l’oeil beach scene for Chanel at the Grand Palais
ROYAL WEDDING fever may have faded a little, but the debate over the bride's gown had us still thinking about the subject, if we might have also gone for simple and modern, or something much more lacy, ethereal and romantic.
In celebration of Valentine's Day, a compilation on thoughts about love -- the idea of soulmates and beautiful quotations, a moving talk on vulnerability and loving wholeheartedly, diamond rings and romantic underthings and more ...
"I WANTED TO CAPTURE that happy, elated feeling of self-expression," said Emilia Wickstead backstage after her spring/summer show, staged at a London Art Deco location that few people knew about. The Harlem Renaissance was the inspiration, and while it could have been reflected with more diversity on the runway, it was certainly in evidence in the clothes. There were wide sunhats tied at the chin, calling to mind those worn in the fields, paired with demure silhouettes and dropped hemlines. There were plays on transparency, perhaps what a modern It girl would like to see more of, especially when paired with some 'mom' jeans and white t-strap heels. There was a pink drop-waisted dress with an alluring cut-out at the chest. And then, of course, the sequinned gowns in rose gold that seemed to be emitting light, drawing smiles on showgoers' faces. Who doesn't love some glamour, especially amidst all the turmoil happening in the world?
