Many people ask us "what inspires you". Do you have a "style"?
Our mission is to make this world a beautiful place.
We are constantly inspired, but one thread is consistent: High style and good taste always catches our eye. Here are a few images for this week's inspiration:

In Other News
2010 was an EPIC year. In the last few months, we graced the cover of RUE's inaugural issue. Town & Country featured me in a great article on LA's next female interior designer's. Luxe magazine celebrated our Chasen's Entertainment center. And our signature mirror, the Sunset Mirror has prominently taken stage in the film "Black Swan".
Thank You everyone!
Thank You everyone!

Wish You Were Here
Or wish we were there, rather.Year after year, even here in California, we eagerly await the unveiling of Bergdorf Goodman's Holiday windows. This year, titled Wish You Were Here, takes you on a wonderful journey through fantasy travel, sly visual wit and far-flung places. Each window features visual influences as diverse as Roman mythology, 1940s Hollywood musicals, the original Penn Station, and the very first science fiction film. Above is titled "The Scenic Route". Absolutely Beautiful.
It is incredible how much goes into the creation, transformation and story behind the decor of these Holiday windows. Here is a fun snippet on the process.
Insane!

Behind the Velvet Rope
A sneak peek behind our design process for the Ritz-Carlton Residences. Inspired by the heydays of Old Hollywood hotels such as the the Chateau and Beverly Hills Hilton, we aimed to create the same essence for a new frontier ~ downtown Los Angeles.
Our mood boards feature sumptuous and vamp tones such as Aubergine, Charcoal gray, Lilac and Smoked Bronze saluting Film Noir.
Opulent and dramatic pieces combined with sparkle that make a classic statement. Animal prints, and noteworthy furnishings evoke the days of cocktail parties and entertaining.

Menswear Inspired
In celebration of Fall we are featuring a small space with a big bang! One of our bachelor client's purchased a studio downtown as a retreat space for weekend getaways. Our approach to the project concept was men's fashion wear, especially Gucci's 2010 Fall Collection . Here is a sumptuous camel coat and ensemble by Gucci translated into interior space mixing velvets & linen textures with dramatic shades of charcoal, gray, gold and royal red.
Divine get up with espresso velvet coat, loafers and leather weekender by Gucci, absolute perfection. The sitting area featuring a velvet chair, charcoal wallcoverings and gold sheers.
A textured fur coat in camel; a light, crisp gray shirt with taupe weekender bag by Gucci. Cozy and chic translates into this bedroom with a shaggy Alpaca rug, gray and taupe linens surrounded by mirrored and pin-stripe wallpapered walls.
Remember to live large and fierce no matter the size of space!

Italian Style!
We are thrilled to featured in the July issue of Italian Architectural Digest!Here's Ron and me gracing the pages of the magazine. I am wearing a one of a kind dress design by Valerj Probega. How appropriate since she is a fierce Italian fashion designer.
This issue features a wonderful pictorial of one our favorite projects, Christina Aguilera's Home!
Her music studio. "The Red Lip" Room. With D*Face artwork and vintage brass tables.
Gorgeous Christina in the game room.Pink felt pool table. Notice how we put the billiard green on the walls. Star rug by Paul Smith. This project had such a surreal edge to it. Absolutely divine to create.
D*Face Marilyn on David Hicks inspired wallpaper suspended above a David LaChapelle book on a William Switzer console.
Bedroom designed with Hollywood opulence in mind, inspired by the glamorous film sets saluting the likes of Mary Pickford & Marlene Dietrich, yet fit for a modern day queen.
A round velvet bed is such a wonderful focal point to this room. Layers of beautiful elements such as the Circa wallpaper with roses, bespoke striped fabric and Christina's signature red. Classic! = A fabulous project.Thank you Architectural Digest!
