Hotel Costes – Design & Culture by Ed

@resee_paris

I am an Instagram maniac and I openly confess that I spend too much time on filtering my feed. But it’s irresistible, when you have so many great accounts to follow! If you are ready for a dose of beautifully curated walls, inspiring photos and delightful shots – see my July recommendations!

@everyoutfitonsatc / I love Sex and The City so much. When I discovered the account which thrives to document every outfit of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha, I just couldn’t resist following it! The feed comments beloved lewks of my favourite New Yorkers with irony, but still, it’s a great Instagram find (and I guess they love Miranda’s iconic, denim overalls “styled” with a puffer coat from season 2 just as much as I do).

@monamoore / Luxury concept store in Venice, CA, which doesn’t take fashion too seriously. Mona Moore account shows not only the clothes (a lot of hote Haider Ackermann pieces), but also the unique attitude the store and #MonaMooreGirls have. Oh, and they nearly broke the internet with their showroom photo of Vetements‘ high, high, high Manolo Blahnik boots from the latest season.

@hotelcostes / At last, Hotel Costes created an account on Instagram! Expect a dose of red velvet and sensual pics from Paris’ favourite hotel, restaurant, bar, spa and flower shop on rue Saint Honore.

@resee_paris / I wrote a piece on Re-See’s phenomen here. After reading it, follow their moody account – it’s filled with rare, vintage pearls by Tom Ford, Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga and Celine. Tres chic, and quintessentially Parisian!

@sandrasemburg / Sandra Semburg is a streetstyle photographer based between Berlin and Paris. Her sharp photos of models off-duty, editors, it-girls and shoppers reflect the diversity of style on the streets, and also work as inspiring tips for every day dressing.

AND, if you want to follow one more account on Instagram… why don’t you follow, ta-da, @designandculturebyed?

I love roses. And when I see a hotel or a restaurant filled with them, I am instantly a sucker for this place. That is why Hotel Costes stole my heart during the first visit (a long, long time ago…). The interiors of this bourgeoisie-styled spot is nearly drowning in red, pink and white roses. And add to that all those velvet arm-chairs and cushions, palm trees and beautiful outdoor patio… Hotel Costes is not only a hotel, but a casual restaurant where all the Parisians meet with super-stars – during my last stay (the day Saint Laurent had its SS16 menswear show), Pierce Brosnan, Lenny Kravitz and Johnny Hallyday were all there, having a dinner. Without any bodyguards. Can you believe that? It was a great pleasure to eat a “new style” tuna tatare in a great place with really GREAT people.
