DESIGN INTELLIGENCE: PARIS
What Paris taught me about looking.
Wearstlerworld,
I’ve just wrapped 72 hours in Paris… a city that, even it sort of always has been, is certainly now an absolute heart of creativity. But, more than that, it’s a city where so many different nodes of creativity are hyper connected and harmonious. Especially when you start with something as mind-blowing as Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Couture collection…
I wanted to share with you some of my latest observations from Paris… what ideas I’ve pulled from Chanel, a bookstore by Henri Levy (founder and creative director of Enfants Riches Deprimes… I love this little slip dress), and new gallery of 20th century design in 6th.
When I’m walking around, the relationship and tension between things feels so present, and that makes for even a short trip here becoming one that’s immensely inspirational. You can tell from my camera roll. You can tell from the number of texts I send my assistant and my team. You can tell from how often I’ll return to the same places just to notice a different detail. And, you can tell from how many things I’ll try and squeeze into my schedule.
I stopped by Sceners Gallery, the preview of the auction of Martin Margiela’s personal archive at Maurice, Pulp Gallery, and of course, I would never miss the market at Paul Bert Serpette.
