The 1st Hermès Vintage Collector Fair

The 1st Hermès Vintage Collector Fair

 

Du 23 au 25 octobre, The 1st Hermès Collector Fair se tiendra pour la première fois à l’Hôtel du Louvre à Paris.

 Cet événement alliant la passion de la mode et celle de la collection d’accessoires vintages accueillera les collectionneurs et amateurs internationaux de la marque Hermès.

        Organisé par Catherine Lecomte, le salon réunira une dizaine d’exposants français, belges, italiens, allemands, espagnols ou anglais. Ils présenteront la grande diversité d’objets Hermès allant de la sellerie, à la maroquinerie, aux carrés mais aussi d’autres accessoires comme des bijoux, des montres, des articles de bureau…

The 1st Hermès Collector Fair présentera bien sûr des pièces vintages iconiques de la marque Hermès tel que le Kelly et le Birkin mais l’objectif sera de montrer des pièces rares, des séries limitées illustrant la fabuleuse créativité et le savoir-faire de la Maison Hermès.

        Un service d’expertise sera mis sur pied avant le salon pour le contrôle de la marchandise (vetting) et durant les jours d’ouverture au public. Les visiteurs pourront en effet faire expertiser des pièces Hermès qu’ils possèdent déjà, ou qu’ils achètent sur place. The 1st Hermès Collector Fair accueillera aussi une exposition intitulée « Musée des collectionneurs Hermès », réunissant des pièces d’exception issues de collections privées. Tous les jours, Genevière Fontan et Paul-Henri Studler dédicaceront leur nouveau livre Carrés d’art II. A noter également la dédicace en avant-première du livre : Guide et Codes des sacs Hermès de Geneviève Fontan (Arfon Edition). A cette occasion également, le Cercle des collectionneurs des carrés Hermès sera officiellement lancé par Paul-Henri Studler (CCCH). Liste des exposants (provisoire) Bernardini Luxury (Italie - Hong-Kong), Corrado Luxury (Italie), Les Editions Arfon (France), Monika Gottlieb & Siggi Spiegelburg (Alllemagne), Heritage (Espagne), Katheleys (Belgique), Rennies (Grande Bretagne), Patrimoine Joaillerie (France), Maia Luxury (Grande-Bretagne), Martine Vaysse (France), Tara Vintage (Italie) et Tropissime (Belgique).

Iasi excELLEnt Lifestyle

Doar doua zile la Iasi, 24-25 iunie 2015, la Palas Mall, Congress Hall.  Am fost ieri si am prins o perioada mai relaxata, intre deschiderea de la orele 12 si cocktailul VIP de la orele 18, asa ca am putut sa fac si citeva fotografii, sa si vorbesc cu persoanele care reprezentau firmele prezente.

Pentru ca impermeabilul Burberry e un must, m-am dus tinta la ei si am stat de vorba cu amabila Laura Miu. Pentru aceste doua zile , ofera iesenilor reduceri de 50% pentru anumite produse. Nu este un amanunt de neglijat

Dragalasenia coltului Bonpoint e de neocolit, iar reprezentantele disponibile. Asa ca, pentru copii, nepoti, fini...

Sport Couture a venit in forta cu o selectie DKNY, Michael Kors, Just Cavalli, Paul Smith, Emporio Armani, Marc Jacobs, Mulberry, DVF, plus alte marci pe care au ales sa le reprezinte in Romania. Discutia cu reprezentanta lor a fost pasionanta, despre piata de lux romaneasca, clientela bucuresteana, ieseana, de prin alte parti ale Romaniei, despre cum stiu sa aprecieze calitatea unui produs. Mi-a facut placere si am cam monopolizat-o, drept care imi cer scuze acum si-i multumesc.

Cei de la TOPLINE au venit cu marcile cunoscue Joico, OPI, Balmain, Guinot, si multe altele , plus ideea geniala de a oferi gratuit o sedinta de manichiura si de coafura.

Decorarea casei ne preocupa in permanenta si cei de la Insidehome au venit in intimpinarea dorintelor noastre. Fetele mi-au dat sa miros parfumurile florentine de interior, mi-au aratat ce perdele frumoase as putea avea si m-au tentat cu multe alte produse. M-am tinut tare, dar au site.

La final, artileria grea : LUMINORI, blanuri care te lasa visatoare si te tenteaza sa intri adinc in creditul de pe card. Ii multumesc doamnei care a avut rabdarea de a-mi arata aceasta minunata haina din casmir si chinchila.

Dar inspitele erau multe...Brindusa a acceptat sa fie model pentru o clipa.

Epuizate , am urcat pe terasa unde un barman priceput ne-a potolit setea pe data.

Si ce poate fi mai placut decit sa stai de vorba cu oameni care iti plac, seara, pe o terasa de unde vezi dealurile iesene ?!?

Multumesc, Elle Romania! Multumesc, Mihaela Frank !

JUDY PRICE

TABU- iulie-august 2014

Q:      Are you a New Yorker? How important is NY for you?

A:      Today I am definitely a New Yorker, but I was born in Philadelphia.  For me, New York is the center of the universe because that is where change not only happens but is permitted to happen.

Q:      Did you have a glittering childhood?

A:      During my childhood I was extremely quiet and reserved.  I played the violin from when I was 2 ½ years old.

Q:      How important is the family in the development of a child?

A:      Although my husband and I do not have children, I think the family is very important.  If, however, a child does not have any immediate family, an extended family that provides emotional support is extremely helpful.

Q:      What you thought in your childhood that your way in life will be?

A:      I was always studious and read a lot of books.  I never imagined that I would someday write books as well.  But, I always went to museums and tried to learn about the arts and other cultures.  Education to me is the most important advice I would have for a young person.

Q:      Your husband is a leader in higher education.  What exactly is his mission?

A:      My husband is Chairman of Qubed which forges relationships between media companies and world universities.

Q:      You create the Avenue magazine, an important monthly style magazine. Why?

A:      At the time, in 1975, New York had a major recession, and I saw an opportunity in the marketplace to do, what I called at that time, a pictorial New Yorker.  I then developed editions in Japan and China and, in the summer of 2001, I sold everything and decided to create the not-for-profit National Jewelry Institute.

Q:      Now, as you are so creative, you made the National Jewelry Institute. How it started? Only from a love of jewelry?

A:      I founded the NJI 10 years ago. At the time, there was no not-for-profit organization focused on telling the story of the jewelry industry. We’re not a trade company but, rather, our mission is to educate people about people, events, and places—using jewelry as a metaphor. Every show that we’ve had in 10 years, and we’ve had 14 exhibitions, has really been about education.

          In that spirit, we are excited to announce a new collaboration with Parsons the New School for Design.  Next year, The NJI @ Parsons will begin offering one week intensive courses in New York and Paris on the subject of fine jewelry.  

Favourite places:

Q:      Do you take breakfast at home or in town?

A:      I live in New York and Paris.  In New York I get up every morning at 5:30am and do one hour of exercise; then I eat breakfast at home.  In Paris I get up around 8:00am and then have breakfast at home.

Q:      Which are your favourite restaurants in NY?  What are the best places for lunch and dinner?

A:      When I’m lunching in New York I like Michael’s restaurant because you see so many people you know.  Another restaurant I like for lunch is Il Gattapoardo, which is right across the street from the Museum of Modern Art.  I also love going to Circo, Amaranth, Bilboquet, and Bar Italia for lunch.  For dinner, Café Boulud is a favorite of mine, as well as Da Silvano and Rotisserie Georgette.

Q:      Which are your favourite restaurants in Paris?

A:      For lunch: Le Voltaire, L’Avenue, the Bar at Le Bristol Hotel, and Table.  For dinner: Mon Veil Ami, Chez Renee, Mathis and August. And after dinner, Silencio.

Q:      Which is the best grocery? Patisserie? Cakes?

A:      For me, the best grocery is Grace’s Market on the Upper East Side, since I live there.  Since I have a tendency to gain weight I don’t eat pastries or cakes.

Q:      Coffee or tea, which do you prefer? Which are the best addresses to buy, drink,coffe or tea?

A:      I prefer coffee.  I have a Nespresso machine and purchase the coffee via the internet.

Q:      And shopping? Shoes, clothes, bags, gloves, or things for house, antiquities?

A:      Since I have an apartment in Paris I often go shopping for antiques there and not in New York.  In New York I am always working.  In Paris I like the following: Museums: Carnavalet and Institut du Monde Arabe and the Acquarium.  Shops: Dior – in addition to clothes they have amazing gifts such as tableware.  Galerie Agnes Monplaisir.  Auge for wine and my favorite hairdresser is Carita (near the Plaza Athenee).

COCHINE

Am primit cadoul acesta frumos impachetat in hirtie de matase, cu o panglica din matase... Totul arata atit de bine, ca nu ma induram sa stric pachetul perfect, dar  curiozitatea....

si am dat peste cutia perfecta, iar in ea...

o luminare parfumata, asa incit toata casa va mirosi a iasomie si gardenie timp de 50 de ore, ca atit dureaza. In plus este intr-un pahar argintat care va fi un perfect vas pentru trandafiri.
Multumesc, Cochine!
Thank you, COCHINE!
