Creator of 2FAKE, Nicolas Rieben, shares a passion for science fiction with 19th century author Jules Verne, a French writer who started this genre with “20,000 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” This story inspired our CGI ensemble.  The notion of travel as adventure, imagining life inside the Nautilus submarine, 2FAKE created these images.  You have the embodiment of supernatural and a wonderful existence, where past and future merge.  As Msr. Verne said, “It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the ‘Living Infinite….” And yes, on our horizon, look to see much more….all in CGI by 2FAKE.

Fabulous Coach loves Robert Tardio!  (Judy told me so )  Giving Robert this “jewel” of an assignment – The Jewels of Tony Duquette – showcased in Harpers Bazaar this month (Feb 2012, Demi Moore cover) featuring Coach story of their collaboration with late designer/decorator Duquette and the “all-American purveyor of good taste”.  Personally I just want to wear all these gorgeous Coach gems!  I am revamping my wardrobe around their style.  Yes, I went shopping this weekend at www.coach.com to their 57th flagship store, NYC, building my own Duquette collection.  Thank you Robert Tardio for all your gorgeous work that’s all over the Coach website.  And thank you Judy, Lois, Lee, James and the whole gang….. We love Coach too!!

"PERFECT PAIR"

“You guys are going for world domination with those butterflies!” Yes Becky, you got that right!

When Neiman Marcus booked ROBERT TARDIO to shoot more of his iconic butterflies created with super stylist Suzy Kim, there was huge excitement.  Neiman beauty book covers for Fall and Holiday…. very cool.

Debra Werblud captured our imaginations on a recent trip to Venice.  This talented artist (and native New Yorker) has spectacular studio on Guidecca, a one-time industrial island in the Venetian lagoon made famous by Fortuny fabrics.  We were sent there by world-renowned designer Kevin Walz.  Debra struck a chord while poetically describing one of her approaches to art as making “farfetched connections”.  Her series of etchings, olive trees on photoengraved magnesium plates, made a real impression… both on the plates and on us!  Next time you’re in Venice, we’re happy to make this not-so-farfetched introduction to Debra Werblud.  You may be enchanted too.
