Look Du Jour: In The Castle

October 19, 2013August 30, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Today we had lots of fun in the Goluchow castle in one of the most beautiful parks in Poland… The castle built by the rich family of Chartoryski’s, decorated with marble columns, oak staircases and beautiful sculptures, made us all really impressed. And the park’s landscape looked so artistic and beautiful! So the best thing to show the awesomeness of this place, is to show Lena’s outfit of the day… Coat by Balenciaga, sweater and bag by Celine, sweatpants and shoes by Brunello Cucinelli, fur scarf custom made.

Easy-To-Go. Rag & Bone SS14

September 7, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The Summer collection of the casual label Rag & Bone from New York is one of these that are always best for… life! What I loved in this season at Rag & Bone was the easiness of all the dressesm jacket and tops… The colours were really light- beautiful shades of blue, pink, violet and orange were seen mixed with classical black and white. And the must-have’s from Rag & Bone are definetely the black and white knitwears and these beach dresses- they looked great on the models! And there is also a small beauty note that will be hit this season…. it’s the orange lips! Yes, all the models had their lips in neon orange colour that looked refreshing and really eye-catchy! Let the Easy-to-go style rule the Summer season!

The Beautiful Mind Series 1.

August 25, 2013November 4, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

“From the A Beautiful Mind series, a long-lasting perfume and the floral notes will continue to lure with their exotic whispers for hours and hours. The difference you will notice in the dry down is a softer kind of sultriness (courtesy of the heavy dose of cashmeran) and a woody backdrop that is at once dry (cedar) and sweet (sandalwood).”With a beautiful packed bottle of fragrance and with a hologram postcard attached to it, this perfume that was created in Berlin, in mind that our brain remember best only the scents, this mixture of oriental aromats is the product of high technology and bio productions. The Beautiful Mind Series 1. is all about Intelligence and Fantasy!

August 22, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

“This Christmas I worked with Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin on the special text for their exclusive perfume gift. Inez and Vinoodh are two of the most prolific photographers working today, and a dynamic duo who also created a son together. I met them at their son’s birthday party last year, and boom – my being tall got them talking. You never know where life may take you. The fragrance was inspired by one of Inez and Vinoodh’s photographs – ‘Kirsten 1996′, which Ben Gorham of Byredo took as inspiration for the woody, oriental scent. The perfume came in a cedar box and a pink paper, inscribed with the inscribed with the professional musings of yours truly.” Byredo, a famous fragrance label that is produced in France, is launching a collaboration perfume with photographer Inez & Vinoodh. The fragrance is called 1996 and is created and inspired from all the travels they been too. Collected into one scent, which is a mixture of between fashion and warm wood. But, what is interesting, the perfume was first to be created just like a gift to the photographer duo, but after people exploded in the web, Byredo decided to launch the fragrance within the Byredo Parfums collection!

Samaritaine

March 29, 2013July 1, 2017 | Design & Culture by Ed

La Samaritaine (French pronunciation: [la samaʁitɛn]) was a large department store in Paris, France, located in the First Arrondissement. It is currently owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Henessy), a luxury-goods maker. The store, which had been operating at a loss since the 1970s, was finally closed in 2005 because the building did not meet safety codes. Plans for redeveloping the building involved lengthy complications, as the representatives of the store’s founders argued with new owners LVMH over the building’s future as a department store or a mixed-use development. Samaritaine is decorated in Art Nouveau style and is really beautiful!
