The Model as Muse

"It's not Kate's personal style that interests me. It's her person; it's the life and the spirit" 

Marc Jacobs 

Kate Moss, Justin Timberlake and Marc Jacobs have come together for the May 2009 issue of Vanity Fair to 'inspire beauty'. The spread also coincides with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Gala Benefit to be held on May 4th. Honorary Chair Marc Jacobs, along with co-chairs Kate Moss, Justin Timberlake and Anna Wintour spear head the event which highlights the museums exhibit: The Model as Muse. The exhibit examines the reciprocal relationship between iconic models and ideas of beauty of fashion. It runs from May 6th to August 9th 2009 and also showcases haute couture and ready to wear pieces, fashion photography, advertising and editorials and film.

Bologna

The amount and quality of home decor stores in Bologna is astonishing. I was inspired by the creativity of the products. If you're ever in Bologna (and have a disposable income that allows for the shipment of anything your heart desires) then look out for these stores: 

- Grande Arredo (http://www.grandearredo.com)

- Sia Home Fashions (www.sia-homefashion.com)

And maybe pick up some fresh pasta while your at it in the Mercato di Mezzo.
