Emilio Pucci And Capellini

                                         

This was EMILIO PUCCI’S shop on East 64th when I lived there. 

Looking in the windows was like looking in a candy shop.

The master at work.

A few Vintage frocks,

I would have loved a pair of these.

You know people have tried imitate his designs.....but you can always tell the difference.

Get  a load of this....

Emilio Pucci was so much the man of the 60's that he was commissioned

to design the uniforms for Braniff Airlines. 

Braniff Airways introduced imaginative new flight attendant uniforms created by famed fashion designer Emilio Pucci. The plastic bubble helmet, to protect hairdos on windy tarmacs, was an integral part of the Pucci-designed uniforms.

I wonder if they wore those nutty helmets? 

The new shop on 5th.

Pucci painted his first scarf in 1949. Hand-colored drawings for scarves from the 1960s and ’70s typify the vibrant colors and patterns that characterized his work.

Handbags from the ’60s and ’70s. Pucci once said of his designs, which defined an era, “I revolutionized fashion because of intuition. Certain things were in the air.”

Silk jersey and silk organza dresses in several silhouettes from his 1970 collections hang in a closet.

In 2001 the firm joined forces with Cappellini to produce a new line of furniture.

The designer’s daughter, Laudomia, and his widow, Marchesa Cristina Pucci di Barsento,

 continue the Archivio Emilio Pucci which is dedicated to preserving his dynamic legacy.

Did any of you own a Pucci dress or scarf ??

Did you like his dresses?

And what do you think about Pucci joining forces with Capellini?

I like the idea.

A Little More Law and Order Is Needed

ACTOR CHRISTOPHER MELONI’S APARTMENT

The Melonis. “She did a great job with the colors, which are in harmony with those outside,” the actor says of his wife, a former set designer who decorated the apartment.

*Interior Design by Sherman Meloni of Sherman Williams Design 

I am addicted to Law & Order. 

And SVU is my favorite.

I have always wondered about :

CHRISTOPHER MELONI.

How does he live , and is  he married, etc,etc.

His wife, who is a set designer.....drool drool.

I wish I were a set designer.

But that would mean I would have to move to NYC.

Let me just say, I would love to move back.

L.A. is out of the question....earthquakes, mudslides, and no real seasons,

Look at the macasser on the built in!

Gorgeous.

The spread here borders on hideous.

*just my opinion

Which is your favorite Law and Order?

Who are your Favorite characters?

Now, what I really need is 'STABLER' (Christofher Melloni)

to investigate my mothers late night phony phone calls.

Ring Ring Ring

"Hold on.....'Stabler"'....... it's 'Stabler' on the phone....

he has agreed that  he would to go to my moms blog to check out her situation!

*She has had some crazy late night phone calls.
And there are some really creepies on the loose.

A Little Clammy, A Little Dizzy.....I've Got To Get Out Of Here!

I finished  an early morning appointment. with a client. 

I don;t really know what it was, but it was 'something'.

that made start to feel anxiety about walking in to the store.

...I never know what I am walking into.,,,and that is my issue,

the fear of the unknown.

And that single thought in my head....can get me pretty worked up,

Oh, yes, it did. 

By the time i got to the showroom, I was already getting clammy and dizzy.

And let's not leave out nausea accompanied by the  feeling of being overwhelmed.

I couldn't stand the thought of working until 9 Pm tonight with PEOPLE!!!

When a new person walks in the door; " IT'S SHOWTIME "

OMG.....all the People i will have to attempt to connect with,,,,,,,eeeeeeewww

*it is often worse that watching or living through  "FRIDAY THE 13th"

Some shoppers I believe may have had a supporting rolls in this film. 

So I actually asked to go home because I wasn't ' feeling well.'

I could never have told that her I was having panic attack.

She doesn't 'get me' on a good day.

What are your thoughts on this subject?

xxx

*And I know, I know....

I have been working on the panic issue for years.

...but once in a while he pops up again

Guess Where Marc Chagall's Grand Daughter Works?

Marc Chagall was born in Russia. 

He was involved in the Russian Revolution in 1917.

His work is awesome.

I love most his mostly unknown works that were painted on cardboard.

In the early part of this century in Paris most artist were starving and would paint on whatever they could find.

Including Picasso.

Marc Chagall in 1941

( grandpa )

His work reflects his life.

The revolution.

A Horsie!!!!

Bella Meyer is

the granddaughter of Marc Chagall.

Her Shop.

Fleurs Bella

(I absolutely love this entrance)

Born in Paris and raised in Switzerland, Bella Meyer grew up immersed in art.  As the granddaughter of Marc Chagall, Bella’s imagination and artistic expression were always valued at home, grooming her for a life of creativity.  On the academic side of life, Bella attained a Ph.D. in Medieval Art History at the Sorbonne in Paris, continuing all the while to paint and draw.  After moving to New York in her twenties, she found her bliss designing and building fantastical worlds of costumes, masks, and puppets for theatre, opera, and dance.

Her handmade pottery,

 in which she will artistically place each beautiful flower or orchid in.

This is an interesting little tidbit.

Don't you think ?

I love finding out stories like this!

If you want to know more...Marc Chagall

The Fleurs Bella studio is located at 55 East 11th Street, New York, NY.
Info on Bella Meyer from the N.Y.T. and her website.

Serenity For Miss Hawn In N.Y.C.

This Burmese Buddha is in the entrance hall of the Manhattan apartment 

that she shares with actor Kurt Russell.

Indian teak arch from ABC Carpet & Home.

Hawn’s “favorite meditation spot” is the living room’s circa 1920 Chinese opium bed. A Burmese reclining Buddha is at the window in the dining room, whose table is set with Tiffany’s crystal and china. ABC Carpet & Home bed and carved chairs. Designs for Leisure slipcover fabric.

Hawn said; 

"“The living room is the area in my apartment that most reminds me of India, my second home."

Does she mean she has a home in India? 

Or that she considers India her home after the U.S. ?

*

Strangely I was dreaming about India last night and I hadn't planned this post.

Their ' TV Room.'

“The master bedroom is peaceful and muted—the perfect place for me to surrender to sleep,” says Hawn. “We used restful hues and covered the bed with fabric that Goldie brought back from India,” adds Specter. Kravet drapery fabric. Patterson, Flynn & Martin carpet.

This was in Architectural Digest in 2002.

What do you think needs updating 

in this apartment, if anything?

Don't be shy.
