Cassandra Warner and Jeremy Floto caught our eye a few years back with Smoke Signals, a series that captured colored smoke in different landscapes. The duo‘s newest project, Colourant, takes another stab at mystifying landscapes by capturing pigmented liquid mid-air. The photographs are taken at 1/3500th of a second and the photos that ensue are astounding. Colorful and strange shapes imitate statues and at times, fabric. Constantly trying to achieve “the essence of photography — immortalize the transitory,” the duo loves to push the boundaries to try and conceive completely unique and special moments that can be frozen in time. Honestly, cool.
With just her second evening wear collection, creative director Consuelo Castiglioni has redefined the dress code by replacing formal gowns with menswear inspired suits and embellished daywear accessorized with silk and fur stoles. And if there is anything to take away from this, it’s a lesson in evening layering. Silk pants can be topped with a belted coat and a fur stole. It’s okay to wear a knit sweater over a maxi tulle skirt. And neoprene at night is a must.
Japanese mid-century, French Baroque, modern minimalism, and Dorothy Draper inspired American Baroque – each room in this 8,500 square foot New York City home has a character of its own. And not only is the house spread out over eight stories, it boasts four outdoor spaces that truly bring the outdoors in. And vice versa. I mean, can we talk about the massive tub and shower inside a glass roofed atrium?! Trés Zen.
