When Fashion is Sitting Down: Thierry Yves Barbier

Fashion takes a seat in the Designs of Thierry Barbier

Sitting pretty, not on your life. These furnishings are vibrant, brave and take charge of your interior design. We're huge fans  of Thierry Yves Barbier, Furniture Designer. He's taken on French Furnishings with a vengeance, and put the Zing back into the French Living room. No, this is not your mother's favorite French, it's tradition, on its head.  Then, there's the fabrics; his choice of fabrics works inside the framework that is often traditional, such as when he adds a surface of decoration that reinvents furniture as precious object.  They are at once arresting, fashionable, and we feel we should really, order shoes and a dress to go with them...and pop open the champagne...they're something to celebrate!

We're fans, and we know you will be too!

GOLDEN GLOBES DEBUT: The Passion for Fragrance at HAYARI Couture, Paris

The Fashion for Fragrance:  Luxury has a name...its "Only for Her"




Only for Her”, the new fragrance by HAYARI Couture, of Paris is made in Grasse, France in hand-numbered bottles, each one of a kind.  The fragrance ingredients feature the white peony, queen of the oriental flowers combined with the elegance of the magnolia. This duet is blended with notes of jasmine, reminiscent of Mr. Hayari’s childhood garden.  Some fruity notes of grapefruit and freesia bring to perfection the floral bouquet with hints of woody and powerful scents of sandalwood and patchouli to add a touch of mystery. The strength of the fragrance is “eau de Parfum” which is a unique formulation that allows you to wear it for day or night.  The bottle is an elegant presentation of a 12 sided flacon topped with a crystal stopper and 14K gold details.  All the Celebs lined up to see this fragrance and experience the chic and luxurious bottle, hand numbered and filled individually which makes it a true boutique luxury fragrance. Pictured here on the beach...it promises to be a beautiful fragrance already worn on the red carpet...news is it was present at the Golden Globes 2012...but we're not telling on whom...

Hello, Red Carpet season!  Let the games begin!

Reese is sizzling on the carpet here, very blonde, beachy, and Los Angeles but let's review:  Why are the girls trying to match and compete with the carpet? Wouldn't a designer who is smart (Zac Posen) advise that on camera, a red dress just blends in with the carpet, and, well, takes over the wearer? 

While the dress is nice, the purpose of a red carpet dress is to shine ON the carpet, not WITH the carpet. Sadly, the cut is beautiful, fabric beautiful, but the carpet is a platform and backdrop, designed to showcase what is glamorous and beautiful about Hollywood.  

Its a backdrop, girls, not the "center attraction".  Oddly, it seems as if the Scarlet O'Hara "curtain dress" has appeared again here, only this time, its the carpet, that's become the dress, not the drapes from that famous window.
