Close Up and Private / The Paintings






Artist and creator of Close up and Private (my collaborative counterpart in Denmark) has released his first series of paintings based on his striking on-going project. The man has an eye for details and these works prove as such, taking his acute sensibilities to new heights. Each are available for purchase directly through his studio. LOVE.

Julianne Moore




Ridiculous. Julianne Moore jumps off the page just as she jumps off the screen with her absurd talent, style and sheer sex appeal. Photographer Serge Leblon's stunning editorial for Blackbook beautifully captures her ability to play any role - no words necessary.

If you haven't yet - see her in The Kids Are All Right alongside Annette Bening and Mark Ruffalo. Fantastic.

Raymond Cauchetier

This is perhaps one of the greatest photos in existence. It is Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg on the set of Breathless. Photographer Raymond Cauchetier happened to have his camera with him always, and as such his work captures pure moments from the French New Wave like none other. If you are in London, check out his solo show at James Hyman Gallery. Nice.

Dar JL




My friend Jonathan just returned from this extraordinary jewel in Marrakech and I am sooooooo jealous. Owners Jon and Lisen turned their private estate into the worlds chicest bed and breakfast (if you can call it that). Every detail is thought of and private meals are arranged for you and your significant other in various areas all over the striking property. I need a significant other...

Find Thom Browne, Band of Outsiders, Cire Trudon and one of a kind music selections by the likes of Michael Jackson. There's talk of JvdF pieces being carried soon as well...

Dandy Meets The Streets






Suits get boring rather quickly. Pictured here are some great, playful takes on the traditional. They strike me as DANDY MEETS THE STREETS... so, I have coined the term. Find others at one of my favorite new blogs out of France called L'IMPOSTEUR.

Taking up a completely un-renovated, former restaurant supply store - the space is the perfect setting for Richard Princes casually stretched, messily painted T-Shirt Series. GO. You have until June 16th...

Samuel Gassmann

One-of-A-kind cufflinks from Samuel Gassmann. Pure, rich colors in mother of pearl that over time fade to become white. The man HATES to be called a designer, wearing many other significant hats that include curator, art consultant and photojournalist. I wonder what other fantastic objects he won't be DESIGNING in the future...
