Travel the world with the stupendous windows of Hermes Paris. Pure Creative genius! I think I will make this into another series, there are so many to choose from.
I wonder if they hire more than one team to do the window displays. What an amazing job, wish I could do that. I shall investigate this further, in the meantime enjoy your journeys.

Kelly Wearstler's Vision
The lovely , beautiful and talented Kelly Wearstler. What can I say but this woman is a genius! Love her vision, how she mixes all different styles, colours and textures to create these magnificent interiors. Her choices are bold and always elegant, pieces are well curated and thought of. I chose the images of her more subtle palette of colours as she is more known for her bold and vibrant one. Just want to show how versatile she is.
You will never get bored in any of the rooms Kelly has created, whether its a house on the beach or a mansion in Beverly Hills. Her talents are vast, including all The Viceroy and Tides Hotels, has collaborated with Schumacher fabrics, Sferra Linens, Pickard, The Rug Company, Lee Jofa and Bergdorf and Goodman where she created the elegant Restaurant. There is also a section in the store where you can buy some of her great homeware.
It doesn't even end there, as a woman of eclectic and chic style herself I always wondered why she never designed her own line of jewellery and clothes, et voila her first collection of clothes and accessories has been created. Today her online boutique launched, have a look, you can view all her work, shop and also read her blog where she takes you on her sourcing adventures where you really get to see how magical her eye is for great pieces and the way she views colour and details. You can also buy her pieces at Neiman Marcus and Net-a-Porter for accessories.
Lastly for the piece de resistance, I was recently in LA where I went to a hair appointment which was in the same building as her studio, I was so tempted to ring the door bell and run inside to be surrounded by all her talents.
Oh and her first stand alone store is opening around the Corner on Melrose (see below) Will go back to LA to hopefully see it open and do another post on Kelly as there is so much I could not put on one post.
Enjoy xo

The brilliant, enigmatic Mariano Fortuny was born into a family of renowned artists in Granada, Spain, in 1871.
He entered the fashion industry in 1907, with the introduction of one of his most notable achievements, the Delphos gown, inspired largely by Greek sculpture.
He was truly a Renaissance man who made his own photographic paper, bound his own books, and designed his own lamps and furniture. He created one of the first dimmer switches, invented a boat propeller, and made his own paints, dyes, brushes and machinery.
To Read and see more of this mans incredible talent look at the great Fortuny website,
The New collection by L'Objet will be intoduced at Bergdorf and Goodman and Neiman Marcus from September.
