Paul Mathieu for Ralph Pucci

French designer, Paul Mathieu, exhibits his signature style in his Aria collection for Ralph Pucci International. I saw this chaise in the Pucci Showroom at the PDC last month, and it looks even better live! It's polished bronze with a gold finish, ethereal and yet sophisticated, and at $62,400 it's truly a living room sculpture. I don't know if this is a stretch, but I find the shape and the open back of the chair to resemble a human form... it reminds me of a woman wearing a backless dress... provocative to say the least.

Wonder if I can get a recession special?

Style: Gianni Agnelli

Gianni Agnelli (1921-2003), was an Italian industrialist and principal shareholder of Fiat. As a public figure, Agnelli is also known worldwide for his impeccable, slightly eccentric fashion sense, which has influenced both Italian and international men’s fashion.

Gianni Agnelli based his style on a spectacular line of bespoke Caraceni suits and oft-imitated personal tricks. He wore his wristwatch over his cuff, wore his tie askew, and sported high brown hiking boots under a bespoke suit to suggest sprezzatura -- the Italian art of appearing not to care about one's appearance -- and to disconcert rivals. It worked.

Mr. Agnelli’s fashion sense stood out, even in a country like Italy, where dressing well and fashionably is generally perceived as very important. His style has inspired and influenced menswear throughout the years, in Italy and around the world. In his retirement speech, Milanese fashion designer Nino Cerruti named Agnelli as one of his biggest inspirations, amongst James Bond and John F. Kennedy
