MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

This past weekend I saw Woody Allen's new film, "Midnight in Paris" and I have to say I absolutely LOVED it. I encourage you to go see it. The costumes were amazing as well as the sets. It inspired me to dig into some 1920's styling.

More is More with Tony Duquette

With the sun shining and spirits roaring here today in sunny LA, I decided it could not be a better day to celebrate the life of famed designer and artist, Tony Duquette.

His design work was bold and elegant; textured yet harmonious.
Tony went on to design award winning costumes for cinema, jewelry lines, and interior furnishings inspired by the world around him.

...a champion as you can see.
