1940's elkins loop side chair restored in black lacquer via conor fennessy

. . . i recently posted a few pics of the frances elkins inspired steel outdoor chair ( click here ). 

i wanted to show the original indoor/interior version.  her inspiration came from a dutch chair design from the 18th century - amazing that this chair design is still very versatile & modern.   a true classic!

gisele bundchen by mario testino . . . for british vogue!

. . . mario testino one of my all time favorite fashion photographers, photographs gisele for the cover of the december british vogue issue! 

i absolutely love bright & colorful covers like this & also love when an actual model is featured on the cover as opposed to an actress. 

lovely december to all!
