It is hard to scan some of the older magazines, because the pictures can be so grainy and dark. Maybe that was the style back then, but now I'm so used to the light filled rooms that are in the International design magazines.
Don't think I've forgotten about Domino magazine, their editorials were always go gorgeous and detail orientated. Though I do think Lonny Magazine is off to a great start, and I can see it getting better with every issue.
That being said, this is the best I could get of the Paris apartment that belonged to Nicolas Ghesquiere and Pierre Hardy. Since he showed his Balenciaga Spring 2010 line yesterday, I thought this would be a perfect time to pull this feature out. Such an interesting space, as it was one gigantic ball room in the mansion built for sculptor Barbedienne Fondeur. They converted into a loft like home, and added a kitchen and bathroom.
The candlesticks and lamp were purchased at a flea market.
