new obsessions
We met Christophe Vialle at Maison Objet in Paris this spring and fell madly for one another--and his indoor garden boxes, which he calls Haute Culture. Besides grass, there are soil packs with seeds of herbs and peas, too. We've got them in colors and clear plexi. I love the mini Haute Culture boxes, too, because they can be hung on the wall, even spelling out a letter or word.

Total geek? Or Greek? These pant clips are inspired by Hermes, Greek god with the winged sandals. Amsterdam designer Gijs Bakker was aiming for bicycle safety with these fluorescent PVC strips, as well as cool. But it seems the kids snatching them up at our shop in Venice also give it glowing marks as a club/party accessory, wrapped around their arms. Love it.

what's in store?

The New Elsa Klensch? Suzy Menkes Talks Shop with Tom Ford
Suzy TV: Touring Tom Ford's new menswear Valhalla in Milan
Suzy TV: Touring Tom Ford's new menswear Valhalla in Milan
For those of us weaned on Saturday morning episodes of Style with Elsa Klensch, the pioneering fashion TV mag that ran on CNN for two decades until it was unceremoniously pulled in 2000’s AOL merger, there’s long been a desire to see another incarnation of the show. Hope springs eternal watching this clip of International Herald Tribune’s Suzy Menkes.
Memo to Bravo: Guilty fun as they are, it might be time to move beyond the rice cakes and Diet Coke you keep serving viewers and introduce something with a bit more complexity and taste.
