Fashion Bears









Costello Tagliapietra/ RTW Fall 2009

Known for their delicate draping and pleating, this season Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra applied their techniques not only to jersey dresses, but also to Ultrasuede.

I think "Fashion Bears" are my favorite type of bear.

Cecconi’s Comes to West Hollywood





In February 2009, Cecconi’s opened in West Hollywood at the corner of Melrose Avenue and Robertson Boulevard, on the former site of the iconic Morton’s restaurant. With a focus on sourcing the finest quality ingredients and maintaining affordability, Cecconi’s West Hollywood features a menu of simply prepared, Venetian influenced, food and drink. An entirely new dining experience in West Hollywood.

Cecconi's Beginnings
Enzo Cecconi - the youngest ever general manager of the famous Cipriani restaurant in Venice - came to London in 1978 and opened Cecconi's. It became an overnight success and in the 80s it was a Mecca for the rich and the royal (one lunchtime, during Ascot week, one waiter remembers serving members of four different royal families on four different tables).

Cecconi's & Soho House
In 1999, after 21 years under the ownership of Enzo Cecconi, Cecconi's closed. A year later Hani Farsi took over the restaurant and refurbished it completely. In February 2004 it reopened under joint management with Nick Jones of Soho House as a partner. In January 2005 Soho House took full ownership.

Floored By Fashion


Tribal Diamond - Diane Von Furstenberg

VW Flag - Vivienne Westwood

I have to say, one of my favorite things are unexpected alignments from various areas of the design industry. Particularly, I love the crossroad where the fashion and interior design world meet. Case in point, The Rug Company's partnerships with iconic fashion designers Diane Von Furstenberg and Vivienne Westwood (photos above).

Check out The Rug Company for a visual feast of beautiful rugs by other iconic designers such as Marni, Paul Smith, & Kelly Wearstler, to name a few.
