Happy Monday! Porthault Sale is On!

I love Porthault sheets and towels.  In my last post on Givenchy's guest bedroom for Mrs. Mellon, Givenchy had Mrs. Mellon's bed ready and waiting with white Porthualt sheets sprigged with blue flowers.  The Duchess of Windsor loved Porthault sheets adorned with a generous amount of embroidery and a copious amount of coronets : )  The artist Jacqueline Duheme painted Jackie Kennedy resting up in London ensconced comfortably in a lovely set of pink and white Porthault sheets.  And lest you think Porthault is just for grande dames, those arbiters of cool, Inez van Lamswerde and Vinoodh Matadin love Porthault sheets for their home and even for their ad campaigns.

And I especially love Porthault sheets and towels on sale!

Poetry in Motion: Philip Seymour Hoffman

Watching Philip Seymour Hoffman was like watching poetry in motion.  He will be greatly missed.

I love this portrait by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin...

Inez and Vinoodh's Dior Secret Garden 2

I hope you saw Inez and Vinoodh's original Dior Secret Garden, if not you can see it here.  The palace of Versailles was obviously designed for ladies to run in their gowns and I am seriously pondering wearing a long dress and giving it a go the next time I visit La Galeries Des Glaces at Versailles.  

But in the meantime, from Dior, Secret Garden 2:

"among the centuries-old tress of Versailles... ethereal, radiant, royal... a realm of poetry and color... secrets whispered..."

At Versailles with Dior, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin

Beautiful new film shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for Christian Dior at Versailles with a soundtrack by Depeche Mode.  It really does not get any better: fashion and fantasy.  Enjoy!

And PS if you never saw Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin's little film with Kate Moss, see here, it is brilliant!

Loving This!

Nowness posted an animated video of Kate Moss from the set of the fall 2011 Balmain ad campaign.  The photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin secretly installed four surveillance-style cameras to capture Moss's performance on set and then layered over the video, animation by the artist Jo Ratcliffe.  The result is "half horror film, half Disney".

I love it.  Enjoy!
