I was reading about JF Chen, the wildly successful antiques
dealer from Los Angeles. He is
considered an expert of old- world décor, 20th century modernism,
contemporary furniture as well as other sought after rarities. He said in the article; Decorating is all
about the juxtaposition of opposites-mixing antiques with vintage and
contemporary items. “Matching” no longer
exists. A bedroom with matching dressers
or a coordinating dining room is, thank goodness, over.
This statement is the very foundation for the595project and
it is why I love what I do. To be able
to bring the mix to those who have a passion for design is my mission. After
seeing a photo shoot for New York Magazine I thought the very same point is in
today’s fashion. This collection of
photographs was titled “The Clash”. It
is very cool and I can’t wait to try my own version as fall sets in! It’s really all about good design whether
it’s for the home or what you wear.
Enjoy the photos!
