I've been a fan of Bodo Sperlein's work ever since I first saw his Teardrop pendant light sculptures and now, with his collaboration with Lladró, some of my favourite things: nature, jewellery and sculpture, are combined into the stunning Lladró Re-Clyclos Magical Collection. Perfect for the first day of Spring.
There is something captivating about NYC-based artist Stella Im Hultberg's ink, oil, and tea on paper paintings. After a move away from industrial and toy design in the fall of 2005, the artist hasn't looked back and has since exhibited her paintings and sketches in over 20 galleries across the US.
Buenos Aires is fast becoming a fashionista hotspot, and Home Hotel is the place to stay. Filled with beautiful vintage furniture, bold colours and patterns, a pool and spa, this retro-modern refuge in Palermo Soho will make you never want to go, well, home.
The Spring/Summer collection from U.K. designer Fleur T is so adorable! The "Kiss Me Quick" range, shown here, has a fresh nautical influence with its cream and navy color-scheme. As is customary with the Fleur T line, this group has just the right amount of detailing with its ruffles, bow-ties, and dotted mesh. Though it's a bit hard to tell from the quality of the photos, each piece has a very crisp and clean look...we especially love the navy/cream striped ribbon trim on the bras! This group has the ideal look for a Spring/Summer group - we love it!
We will follow up this post with the other range from designer Fleur Turner's collection, called Knickerbocker Glory (which is simply sensational!).
The Spring 2007 collection for Dessous by Sophie Simmons has arrived!
NYC-based designer Sophie Simmons created her collection based on inspiration from the workmanship and intricate details on "dessous" or "under pieces" she had inherited from her mother.
You will notice that in the Dessous collection, there's a vintage charm that can particularly be noted in the lace embroidery and applique on many of the pieces.
Sophie's designs are very much 'casual chic' with looks that border between loungewear and outerwear. For instance, many of her babydoll tops and tunics are adorable for sleep or loungewear, but also make great pieces for wearing out (especially when layered over leggings).
The Dessous collection consists of bras, camisoles, chemises, panties, shorts and tees...all of which are made from fine Italian cottons. At Faire Frou Frou, we have focused mainly on the chemises, jackets and jumpers so that our customers get the dual use of loungewear as outerwear. We have noticed that the pieces from this collection are great for layering, especially when attempting to show off a beautiful bra!
The collection is currently sold at Faire Frou Frou!
