Viktor & Rolf for GQ Style Italy






What better way to experience the genius of the design duo Viktor & Rolf than to have them style there own editorial shot by the genius photographic duo Blommers / Schumm for GQ Style Italy F/W 09/10? I can't think of one. Might be one of the best collaborations I've seen in a long loooooooong time.

Hazelnut Chocolate Whisky Cookie

I am personally not a sweets person, but at a friend's dinner party this weekend these absurdly delicious confections were brought to the table for dessert. They are THE perfect housewarming, dinner party, get well, holiday, happy birthday, and any other possible occasion gift. Whimsy and Spice, the shop where you will find them in Brooklyn, is also a fantastic resource for plenty of other tasty sweets...

Made of the softest cashmere's, they are instantly cozy for either a crisp fall day or a blustery snow storm. I could even see Santa wearing one...

Hotel Ermitage






I have amazing memories from the hot summers in St. Tropez, but the newly minted Hotel Ermitage I could do in the deep of winter as well. What used to be A private 19th century villa is now A 27 room petite hotel decked in pieces by Jean Prouve, Ettore Sottsass and Mathieu Mategot. Hollywood stars photographed by Jean Pigozzi line the walls in the Veuve Clicquot Bar. The likes of Marc Newson, Christian Louboutin and Olivier Zahm have been commissioned to create one-of-A-kind guest rooms. This is not A dance-till-dawn sort of St. Tropez hot spot though. Owner Andre Saraiva says it is intended to be more of A quiet "artists' retreat". Nice...

Up for auction at Wright in Chicago on December 8th is the Tatra T87, which is one of the first automobiles to incorporate the science of aerodynamics to reduce fuel consumption. The Czechoslovakian company took inspiration from the Zeppelin and Dornier airplanes during the streamlining movement of the 1930's incorporating more technical advancements than any other car of it's time. Stunning...

Indochine: Stories, Shaken and Stirred






Ahhh, the days of the trinity (Linda, Naomi and Christy). Indochine was home away from home in the mid nineties.

Combine that with artwork and photographs by Francesco Clemente, Patrick Demarchelier, Tom Sachs and Roxanne Lowit and you have the perfect holiday gift...
