The accessorator's newest flip book ....
"Designer Seating: 11 Unique Accent Chairs"
@ Housebeautiful.com!!!
Just hit the link,
take a look ....
& let me know what you think!!!
All of a sudden it's everywhere!!!!
Camouflage has invaded my head & my 'hood!!!!
It all started with these two delightful chairs in
House Beautiful's Dec/Jan issue ....
I desperately coveted them!!!!
Then, I went to visit my niece in Buffalo ....
& saw artist Jim Hodges'
fabulous stainless steel & enamel
camouflage sculpture
in front of the
Three day later, at a decadently delicious dinner
at a friend's fabulous new house
I fell madly in love with Chinese artist
"self-camouflaged" photographs!!!
The next sighting was at NYC's D&D Building,
where I visited fabric & wallpaper "star"
Clarence House .....
& this stunning linen fabric called to me,
insisting it had to recover my dining chairs!!!
OH, I almost forgot
my sighting of Wall Street's famous Charging Bull
"redressed" in crochet camouflage by
the avante-garde artist Olek ...
but, then again,
she "re-dresses"everything in camouflage!!!
Two days ago, I was visiting the divine WR
as he was packing his "Boy Birken,"
a divine monogramed L.L. Bean camouflage tote,
giving camouflage the ultimate
"fashion approval rating"!!!
FINALLY, I got home last night,
after days & days of being inundated
with "camouflage," .
& this gigantic High Line Billboard
greeted me with artist
"American Dream" .....
an homage of "Chrysler camouflage"!!!
As an "accessorator supreme"
all this intense camouflage imagery
can only mean one thing .....
A TREND .....
HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT!!!!
Some things are just unexplainable!!!
Like .....
why in the world was I fascinated by
these Margiela boots???
Was it the glamorously chic Russian woman
who was wearing them???
Was it the fact that she was charming,
chatty, & lived in London???
Was it the fact that she let me
photograph her feet???
Or was it her sublime pedicure???
I think it's all of the above ....
plus
the see-thru boots, with the lucite heels
are seriously fabulous too!!!
All in all ..... a sublime
"over-the-top"
Brazilian accessoration!!!

The scope of my world as a "collector/accessorator"
is rapidly expanding ....
interior, furniture, art, & design are becoming one!!!
It became especially apparent last week ....
when I wandered around NYC's first Frieze Art Fair!!!
And here's why ......
Artist Mickalene Thomas is working on a series of paintings
that all references "interiors".
Furniture/sculpture from Max Lamb, Franz West,
Richard Artschwager, Allison Katz
is both for sale by dealers & is being "used" in the booths.
Artists Gelitin, Matt Golden, & Olga Koumoundouros
have incorporated "furniture" into their work.
Martino Gamper's & Hun-Chung Lee's "art" is furniture!!!
And finally ....,,
English gallerist Stephen Friedman's booth
is "furnished" & everything is for sale!!!
This confirms my newest theory .....
there is a single "dialogue" incorporating the worlds of
art, interior, furniture, & design ......
making everything an "accessoration"!!!
The accessorator's pick for "trend du jour" at
Milan's Salone Del Mobile were .....
"pull-ups"!!!!
Perching, Sitting, Stacking, or Setting!!!
These "accessorations" were everywhere,
some were serious, some whimsical, some recycled,
some shiny & new ......
but always accessible & flexible!!!
There were sooooo many divine choices that
I think maybe I ordered them "all" ....
for my house in the country!!!
Yarn ....
whether its knitted, crocheted, or wrapped .....
continues being the trendy "accessoration du jour"!!!
(blog 4/25/11, 10/25/11/, 4/4/12)
I'm loving this stool I found in Florida last week!!!!
And I wonder what's going to be in Milan next week!!!!
