I want to welcome our readers from Egypt, Tunisia, & Iran.   I applaud the courage and tenacity you and your countrymen have shown the world in the last few months.    I can't say how happy I am that you found our website!

EASTER BASKET FROM ITALY

GALLIANO OUT AT DIOR

DESIGNER JOHN GALLIANOCNN and WWD are both reporting that the house of Christian Dior will terminate Creative Director John Galliano over recent anti-Semitic remarks.    No matter the circumstances, Galliano's behavior is indefensible.  Regardless if the video that surfaced appeared to be borderline entrapment of a very intoxicated individual, how Galliano reacted was wrong -wrong- wrong.

A sad day for the world of Haute Couture and Ready-To-Wear as Galliano is the most creative fashion designer working today.

LALANNE LIGHTS UP MAISON GIRARD

CRYSTAL & BRONZE LALANNE CANDLE AT MAISON GIRARD - $4,800.00Artist Claude Lalanne brings her iconic work with bronze and nature to the world of home accessories with a candle that resets the bar for all others.

Over the last 10 years the candle has become to the interior design world what fragrance has long been for fashion houses.   An attainable way for the masses to own a piece of your image and become a customer.   Also like perfume, a candle can be purchased by someone who would never buy your fashion or furniture, or in this case sculptures, but has a great deal of respect and admiration for your work.    Of course in the case of an artist like Lalanne, this was not going to be an orginary bougie!  Also being Lalanne, it would never be a commercial product for the masses.   Click LALANNE CANDLE for more details.
