perfect fashion

 

 I am completely smitten with the fashion photography of Amanda Camenisch.

Huge source of inspiration.

 

 

 

 

 

My Friend Iwona on Design Sponge

 

I am thrilled to be once again part of the of the awesome Design Sponge blog comunity. Today is to present the lovely Park Slope place of Jewelry designer and friend Iwona Ludyga.

In the beginning, we had hoped to shoot her place in the heart of summer (mainly for my blog features "an afternoon with..." ) because of her amazing outdoor space that she transforms into an extra living space by setting up a tent seamlessely leading the living room into the outdoors.

But Design Sponge contacted her about a month ago and we had to seize the opportunity and shoot it right away, in the rather stark light of winter. Luckily, the day of our photo shoot giant snow flakes were swirling outside and gave her place this lovely cosy look.

Her work studio was very tidy that day, much the opposite of how I have seen it before. Her design studio is made of a team of little hands she supervises daily while taking care of business and family.  She runs a tight ship!

Iwona is one of the most talented person I know,  everything she touches turns into gold so to speak. She can paint (the giant black painting in the living room is hers), draw, cook, design, decorate and pocesses a sick sense of color and style. I adore her.

Congratulations on the D*S feature Iwona! Check out the full Sneak Peek here.

A l'honneur aujourd'hui est l'appartement de ma copine et créatrice de bijoux Iwona Ludyga.

Son appartement est publié dans la section Sneak Peek du site Design Sponge.

Suis super contente d'avoir été choisie pour prendre en photo son espace!

Elle vit à Brooklyn et nous sommes amies depuis plusieurs années maintenant. Une des personnes les plus créatives que je connaisse. Je l'adore!

 

Euroscapes

 

 

The meditative and highly polished work of Hungarian photographer Akos Major.

Places I have never been but strangley enough, they remind me of home in the winter. 

Although my taste usually leans toward photography that involves a bit less of editing, I find this work very interesting and evocative.

 

 

 

 

 

scaling it down

 

 

Andreas Gefeller is one of my favorite photographer.

Completely out of my range, completely odd and impossible, absolutely brilliant.

Below, he is using modified satellite images of urban agglomerations.

The last two are blowing my mind of ingenuity.

 Le petit (ou grand?) monde du photographe Andreas Gefeller.

Le genre de travail qui satisfait tous mes sens.

 

all about textures

 

 

The artful and always mesmerizing designs of Minä Perhonen.

Impeccable styling and somptuous embroideries is what I'll remember of their F/W 2013 collection.

 

 

 

A girl and a rainbow

 

Today's been grey, cold and damp: a classic December day.  I knew these beautiful photographs from Alexandra Valenti would put everything back into perspective for me. I had somehow saved them on my desktop for inspiration. I Love her color process and the whole etheral girl power theme in this work. So refreshing.

Waiting for the return of summer...

Stay warm everyone!

 

 

 

 

J'adore me perdre dans le travail en technicolor d'Alexandra Valenti.

C'est  le retour de la fille libre et bohême. Très seventies. Son procédé de colorisation est une belle source d'inspiration.

Ces images me donnent envie de longues journées d'été!

 

dress me up

 

Oh am I in love with these paper beauties! All crafted out of vintage maps. They just make me smile.

Welcome to the Holiday season dear readers!

Let's make this last month of the year a cheery one. 

Let's try.

 

Les robes géographiques by Elisabeth Lecourt.

 

 

 

 

Berlin based photographer Meike Nixdorf shoots and edits landscapes like i have personally never seen before.

In one of her interview she recalls being told once by someone reviewing her portfolio in New York that her landscape photography was beautiful but that "any photographer could have taken it". The criticism staggered her and pushed her to start shooting with a different point of view.  And here lies her new body of work.

What a fascinating artist. She is definitely in my radar.

 I highly recommend this video if you are -like me- drawned to her stripped aesthetic.

It's November 4th. 

I am still "stranded" at home. 

New York is hurting.

 

flying and keeping zen

 

I am leaving to Los Angeles for few days for work.  I always have a bit of anxiety when flying. So I'll leave you with a calming conceptual work by Luisa Lambri.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Landscape, revisited by artist Chris Thompson.

Brilliant.

 

 

 

 

the pursuit of perfection

 

 

As a photographer, I hope to achieve one day a signature quality and elegance found in the work of Danish photgrapher Heidi Lerkenfeld. A true master of her craft.

Pure inspiration and awe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Le talent impeccable de la photographe Heidi Lerkenfeldt.

J'aimerais un jour avoir l'audace de comparer mon travail au sien. Un jour.

 

pop!

 

Brilliant sculptures form Pae White.

Beautiful objects.  Makes me crave the real thing too.

Really enjoyed going through photographer Shinsaku Kato's portfolio.

A trip to Norway caught my attention in a very special way.

 

 

    

Tres belle mini-série sur la Norvège du photographe Japonais Shinsaku Kato.

Me donne envie de voyages...

Carouschka Streijffert is a creator.

She creates spaces, paintings, collages, patterns, carpets... you name it.  

And she creates OBJECTS = my favorite.

Below are some of her compelling creations using glass, metal, bone and strings.
