THIS FABULOUS FRIDAY, I HAVE FOUND…
“It’s So Fabulous!” DESIGN BOOK of the Week: My design book pick for this week is called Glamour: Making It Modern, by Michael Lassell. Loaded with tons of photos from the previous pages of Metropolitan Home magazine, this book showcases work from some of the most admired designers in the business. A list of resources for available products is also included.
The perspective of this book is one that embraces the idea that “Glamour is in vogue in homes that are castles (literally) and in one-bedroom rentals at the fringes of downtowns.”
“It’s So Fabulous!” FASHION TIDBIT of the Week: Mayor Bloomberg recently awarded Ralph Lauren a key to New York City upon the opening of his opulent Madison Avenue flagship store. According to Vogue, the new establishment “has indeed been built from the ground up, all 22,000 square feet of it, complete with sweeping ambassadorial staircase and enfilades of elaborately paneled rooms lit with coruscating crystal chandeliers”. The new store will include departments with services such as made-to-measure tailored pieces, a “luxury sleepwear” section in a Hollywood boudoir environment, and custom-monogramming department for Lauren’s famous polo shirts.
