Monochromatic dressing in black or white is a sophisticated and timeless style choice that involves wearing different shades and textures of a single colour from head to toe.
WE’VE BEEN DOING quite a bit of décor research lately, looking for storage solutions (double wardrobes, bookcases, consoles⏤that sort of thing) and came across YouTuber Katja Nordkvist‘s serene home in Denmark.
ON FRIDAY WE travelled to a seaside village about an hour from here to celebrate something special. P had made late lunch reservations at a new restaurant that has only been open for less than a year (and much of it during various lockdowns) and we'd heard that it was supposed to be good, locally grown produce and all that. It's one of those charming places that have several roaring fires and wood-burning stoves and promised to be cosy ...
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 ...
YES, IT'S TRUE we are not often drawn to ultra-modern spaces, but there is something about this penthouse by Melbourne-based CJH Studio that is very appealing at this time of year. As the days are getting longer, perhaps it's the space's brightness that pulls us in ...
THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the elegant work of interior designer and photographer Janet Parrella-Van Den Berg of @white_and_faded. Hers is a serene world of crystal chandeliers, boiserie and lucite; gilded mirrors and ornate headboards, slip-covered dining chairs and linen sofas, ceiling beams and crackling fires....
Some Guillaume Alan's earliest design memories include the Louvre's magnificent ordered square courtyard, the Cour Carrée, and the tranquil simplicity of Mies Van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion in Spain. These memories fostered a love of classical purity that can still be seen in all of his work today.
WHILE WE MAY not be the biggest fans of Kanye and Kim Kardashian West, we are very much longtime fans of Axel Vervoordt. In fact, we once wrote a piece about how the Belgian designer and the musician met (How Kanye West met Axel Vervoordt, This Is Glamorous, April 26, 2018) ...
Daniela and I often talk about Mini Trends, the most recent being tracksuits with blazers, and she noticed at the same time I did that everyone seemed to be wearing big, fluffy white coats lately. Whether faux fur or shearling, they look so warm and cosy and perfect for a winter's day. Here is a round-up of a few of our favourite long white winter coats and ways to style them...
EARLY OCTOBER and no one seems to be able to let go of whites just yet, pairing creamy silk slip skirts with cosy ecru turtlenecks or balloon sleeve maxi dresses with tall leather boots. Whether boiler suits or blazers, pleated dresses or cropped denim, autumn comes in shades of white...
EVERY YEAR around this time, we round up the essence of summer in a moodboard we like to call The Last of the Summer Whites. It's a bittersweet time, for we know that nothing lasts forever, but even still, we wish that time would slow down just a little, so that summertime could stay just a little while longer...
Mercury Prize-nominated musician Loyle Carner has released a song named after London based chef and restaurateur Yotam Ottolenghi. The song, Ottolenghi, dropped last night and features a reference to the chef’s cookbook Jerusalem, which is a homage Israeli-born Ottolenghi’s youth spent growing up in the Middle Eastern city.
WE HAVE BEEN highlighting the latest spring trends, from silk scarves to trouser suits, to the eternally chic trench coat, but one of the most unexpected ones for us, is the white city short. Far from common, these pleated and belted styles have an elegance not often associated with shorts and when paired with a white top, are the epitome of chic...
EVERY YEAR around this time, when the holidays are over (the memories of fairy lights and sequins fading) we're back at work and it's a brand new year, we become hopelessly drawn to winter white.
WE HAVE LONG been fans of white, for summertime, for wintertime, and of course, for autumn. This season, however, it seems as if everyone else has fallen for it as well, for on the streets of New York, London and Paris, there flashes of eggshell and ecru, glimpses of ivory and cream, flutters of pearl and beige.
