Bruno Frisoni's Moroccan home

Herve Van der Straeten ceiling fixture and arched console welcome guests in the entrance hall below.
Bruno Frisoni, the designer behind the shoe brand Roger Vivier shares a vacation home in Tangier, Morocco with his partner the designer Herver Van Der Straeten.  As much as I love Roger Vivier's shoes, Herve Van Der Straeten is by far one of my favorite furniture designers.  Everything he creates is beyond extraordinary, chic, unique, inventive and like nothing else.  The result of their home is simply gorgeous.  Enjoy!
Custom made klismos chairs surround a Van der Straeten table.

Amazing door to the kitchen and beautiful fretwork on the cupboards. 
 Love the bathroom.
In the colorful guest bedroom the walls are upholstered in a striped carpet.

First lady Michalle Obama graces the cover of Vogue

I love to imagine perfect scenarios, as you could have noticed.  In this case I think I would like it more if politicians or activists would make the cover of Vogue rather than celebrities.  For example one month Al Gore with 'An Inconvenient Truth', It's happening people, climate change is really happening look or better said "feel around you".  I love the first lady, Michelle Obama on the cover of the April issue of Vogue "Inspiring America".  And she really is an inspiration to every woman.  A woman of great values and a very steady sense of family values who knows first-hand that women can and should be both, advocates for what we believe in and equally stylish.  And talking about that new hair makeover, she looks amazing.  Enjoy! I approve this hair makeover.

L'Wren Scott's Parisian Pied-a-terre

Divine vignette in the living room, with Damien Hirst spots.
Lately I've been drawn to more neutral interiors.  Interiors where warm-beige-painted paneling walls work as a backdrop to a combination of soft and textural furniture.  L'Wren and Mick Jagger's home in Paris, featured in Vogue May issue,  is the total opposite of what you would expect from a Rock-Star home: with beautiful paneling, walls painted in beautiful light tones that go from lilac to beige, herringbone floors all throughout the apartment, antique rugs, and the perfect balance between wood and fabric.  The final result is a jaw dropping home.   What I love most is how updated the apartment looks by keeping the paneling walls in light tones.  Enjoy!
It's all about lighting, look how the space behind the door reflects a bluish tone.

Bettina Prentice at home

New York City apartments tend to run small and people sometimes have no other choice than stuff it all up with everything they need to live in it.  That's not the case with Bettina Prentice, founder and owner of Prentice Art Communications.  She recently relocated to a spacious 1,800 square-foot apartment which she shares with her husband.  The apartment was featured in APT with LSD in vogue.com and the couple decorated it with a pretty relaxed atmosphere and lively colors.  Enjoy!.
