Un Regard de Paris

Lets Take a Peak Inside Marc Jacobs Paris Apartment...

Once an intimidated art enthusiast, Marc Jacobs has furnished an art fascination over the last five years. Starting with his first piece, an oil painting of a young dark haired woman by Karen Kiliminck, the fashion designer is since unable to control his urge and passion for art! And his apartment, located in the beautifully romantic Paris personifies his unique love for all things creative.
Yet, his joy for art was staggered by his growing fear, "I had in my mind that only incredibly grand, extremely wealthy people lived with art of any sort," Jacobs says about his intimidation of fine art. Fortunately, he overcame his obstacle and now purchases art excessively. Blaming his conduct as a "typical addict behavior,” Jacobs’s half smiles, "I just got this bug. I started going to galleries, and I kind of went mad." Marc Jacobs, an innovative and well-respected designer and art enthusiast, admits to his horrific interior design skills however, pointing blame to his ill room proportions and vision, relying on his decorator to pull together a well-fashioned apartment. However, one thing is certain the Paris home is centered on his artwork, unifying Jacob’s taste for classicism with punches of added transgression. The living space is distinctive, personal, and raging style only attained by such a man as Marc Jacobs.

Just a Friendly Reminder = )

7th on Sale!!!!!

Starts November 15th - tickets are on sale

Major Discounts for a Cause...Can't get any better..I'll be covering the entire event and posting updates, etc.

New Location...TBA..



Nordstrom, a Seattle based department store has its eyes on a new location in a new city. Shockingly, Nordstrom, a well-known and very popular retail shop of over 500 Brand Names does not have a store in Manhattan, the fashion capital. (The closest locations are in Garden City, NY and New Jersey!) So the Manhattanites are talking and urging the retail wonder to set a flagship in NYC.

The buzz is that Nordstrom Inc. purchased a non binding letter of intent on the former Drake Hotel. Drake Hotel is situated on the corner of Park Ave and 56th Street, a fabulous spot for a hot department store! Nothing is secured or final, however, but there is hope Nordstrom will be coming to the city of lights soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed...

I Could've Sworn I was Talking to Karl


Walking into Cipriani 42 Wednesday, Halloween night was like a who-who's of fashion, with a twist. The who-who's weren't really- rather they were masquerading as others with fabulously over the top costumes and outfits. My favorite, in particular, was the host of this grand and eloborate costume ball- Mr. Roberto Cavalli- in the flesh as Karl Lagerfield!! It was impeccably execueted rendition of the fashion icon. Cavalli was adorned in the signature motorcycle gloves, black tie, and dark shades. The designer was quoted as saying, "I wanted to go as someone from the world of fashion," with a shrug, after directing a slew of well-wishers to kiss his hand, on which he wore a copy of the French couturier's fingerless glove. Major ♥
