Residence, New York City

This two bedroom apartment for a handbag designer reflects her fashion passions. Uniquely envisioned with a strong couture foundation, most of the fabrics were purchased from shops in the Sentier district in Paris. The bedding and drapery are by the designer Thiery Mugler, the living room pillows by Christian Lacroix and the drapery bows are from a Dior dress. A vintage Chanel pin from Owen Forest -at the flea markets, was used to decorate the settee. In the dining room, ordinary chairs were slipcovered as dresses, and the apartment was enlivened with eight foot high Dior sketches on the walls and a polka dot floor.
