Similarities in Fashion & Art by Bianca Luini (04)

I guess you have noticed already that I am a huge fan of the wonderful fashionphotos from Bianca Luini. Bianca is a fashion design graduate living in Milan, Italy. She sees fashion everywhere and everything in fashion. Love her beautiful and creative way of finding similarities in fashion combined with art, design, architecture, nature, photography etc. Below you find the similarities she found in these 2 photos. On the left you see a design from the fashion designer Iris Van Herpen from her Haute Couture Spring 2013 collection. On the right: Froisse Mirror by Mathias Kiss, 2008. Remarkable similarity, isn't it? Can't get enough of her fantastic photos. :-) Earlier I wrote more blogs about her inspiring work, see MORE BLOGS

Thank you for reading this blogpost.

Design Fair: Nomad will take place at La Vigie, an historic villa on the French Riviera

The historic Monte Carlo villa 'La Vigie' opens to the public for the first time tomorrow, to showcase works commissioned by the world's leading design galleries. Nomad revisits the classic idea of fairs and exhibitions to propose a new format for the XXI century.

Nomad is a travelling event for collectable design that will bring together a selection of the world's leading galleries in incredible architectural locations. They are beginning their journey on the French Riviera in Monaco this April 27 - 30th 2017, in the historic and stupendous villa La Vigie, located in the private park of the Monte Carlo Beach Club.

Facing out over the Côte d'Azur, 'La Vigie' was built in 1902 and is now widely considered as one of the finest properties on the French Riviera. It was home to fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld throughout the 1990s and later became an exclusive hotel - but is now opening its doors to the public for the first time in its history. 

Organisers Giorgio Pace and Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte see the event as a new approach to the traditional design fair. Galleries will present works in the elegant rooms of the villa, which will be open for the first time to the public for this very special event. The work on show at Nomad will demonstrate a rich variety with a number of presentations exploring the boundaries between architecture, design and art. For the complete list of the galleries, see the enclosed link below.

Decorating Idea: Fresh bedroom in serene white from Farrow & Ball

Be Inspired by this calm and serene bedroom atmosphere in soft whites and grey. The used wallpaper as well as the colors are from the company Farrow & Ball. They used here for the wallpaper: Wisteria BP 2201. Wisteria is a classic english floral pattern drawn from 19th century pure silk woven jacquards. With its abundant, trailing design of blossoming Wisteria, this wallpaper captures the warmth of English romance and creates a flourishing, exciting design. The painting colors below are: Elephant's Breath No.229 (a warm mid grey) for the walls and woodwork in Wimborne White No.239. The color Wimborne White is only a shade away from a pure white.

Thank you for reading this blogpost.

New blue kitchen for NY City-based interior design company Homepolish

New York City-based interior design company Homepolish offers personalized interior design services via a network of more than 500 designers. They recently moved into a new office in New York and the interiors are dreamy to say the least. The new office CEO and co-founder, Noa Santos chose a space with large windows and an abundance of natural light pouring in. Looking at the 12,000-square-foot space today, you'd never imagine it once served 3 separate companies, in 3 separate work spaces, all with different floors and interior walls. Homepolish replaced all of the flooring and bleaching them for a lighter feel. In all, the makeover took 5 months to complete. Below you will find their beautiful new kitchen with blue cabinetry, brass pulls & a bubble chandelier. It became already a favorite hangout spot among Homepolish employees. I also added some other photos to give you an impression of the renovation. For all the photos, see the links below. Be Inspired .........
