My hotlist for winterevenings.....as good to give as to receive :
If you want some California dreaming in your living room get "Locals Only" , new book by Hugh Holland ( had a booksigning in France at Colette yesterday) with warm, soft toned pictures of the mid-70 's skateboarding revolution in Los Angeles. His art of Skate photography makes me so wanna visit my family in L.A.......
Another hot read is Mary Mc Cartney's ( yep, daughter to sir Paul and sister to Stella) splendid new book
"From where I Stand" with an insight into her private and public life ( fashionshows, rock concerts, theatre, ballet ...) with fab pictures from famous people .
And what about the Belgians ?
Get some inspiration for your interior with Belgian architect Glenn Sestig 's "Cosmopolitan living". Love his residential and commercial projects ( Adidas in Paris, Elvis Pompilio in Paris ..) in modern and minimalistic style . My essential guide to a warm, refined, stylefull interior ! He keeps me moving my furniture around and around .....
Unique talent, Belgian designer Tim Van Steenbergen 's book "Act(e)" is another must have.
Written by fashion journalist Veerle Windells, it sketches a portrait of the desginer based on her personal conversations with him. Check out Glamour girl Katy Perry 's latest video " firework" where she's wearing a top from his collection !!!!!
" ...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a common place thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles ....."
Have a happy weekend ! xoxo
