BLACK IN FASHION

black-arpartment-romain-ricard

Okay…the other day I had a business meeting with some of my New York colleagues…the meeting was a a video conference call to be exact…when I walked into the meeting sporting a simple black Prada dress, black Woford opaque tights and super high Stuart Weitzman booties, someone on the other end of the video conference call said, “Here comes Coco.  Looking chic as always. She is always wearing black.  Coco I know you don’t know most of the people in the room over here…but some of us were talking the other day and we wondered, do you always wear black?” Without a beat I said “Yes.”  Then my former intern said “The one time she wore purple shoes our boss made fun of her.”  Hmmm…

Anyhoo…all of this to say, I wear a lot of black.  In home decor however, I am a believer in a lot of white…bright crisp clean rooms with white walls and touches of pattern and color here and there.

What about an entirely black apartment our home…would that work and go with my work attire?  Hmmm…thinking….

P.S. Got back from Beaver Creek late last night. TE and I spent the weekend at best of friend FF and CCFs gorgeous skin in ski out home right on the mountain. Was so nice hanging out with them and my godson CGF. We had a great dinner on Sunday night with JH and FH too. Was so much fun!

Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffe Ever wondered what it feels like to have the Eiffel Tower as your view? These 7 Paris spaces answer that — some hotel suites, some private residences, and each one framing it completely differently. 🫶
A gilded suite where it peers through silk drapes. A terrace set for breakfast with the Tower straight ahead. Contemporary apartments where open French doors bring it almost into the room. Classic Haussmannian grandeur on one end, sculptural modern interiors on the other; same iconic backdrop, seven entirely different ways to live with it.
→ Save this for your next Paris trip or renovation inspo.

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.

This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for ove This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for over 15 years. @hugotoro_ took it on and designed every single thing inside it himself, from the custom furniture down to the napkin rings and staff uniforms.
That level of control is what makes the result so specific. Rich materials, sculptural forms, cinematic lighting but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. Every detail was considered as part of one complete vision, and you feel it in every room. ✨

Natural light is the one thing every room has in c Natural light is the one thing every room has in common here, but the window shape, wall material, and time of day make each one feel like an entirely different experience. ☀️
It’s a reminder that light isn’t just a condition in a room. It’s a design decision.
→ Save this if you’re thinking about how light works in your own space.

I visited a new friend Amy, founder of Keur-Amy LaI visited a new friend Amy, founder of Keur-Amy Langseth @keuramylangseth at her chic Paris studio in the Marais and left completely obsessed! Every bag she makes is intentional, considered, and honestly unliIke anything I’ve seen. The kind of craftsmanship you don’t stumble upon easily.
She’s still under the radar. For now. 😌
