Friday's Fabulous Woman: Sarah Moon

These words from a PhotoIcon article by Laura Noble entitled The Shadows of Style say it all:   "With a long career comes reflection. In the case of Sarah Moon, the passing of time has done little to dull the magical quality of her work. Her photography lives in a mysterious place between waking and dreaming, art and fashion. This place never seems to age, as its themes are often taken from myth, fantasy and fairytale residing in a dislocated familiarity and strangeness."

Based in Paris, Moon's fashion photography has appeared everywhere, from French Elle to Italian Vogue, and she has collaborated with designer names as diverse as Biba, Cacharel, Comme des Garçons and Chanel. She now spends much of her time creating and directing short films.  The Independent article Frocks And Fantasy is another great read.

This video is her work in her words.

 

Photos are a selection from the Fahey/Klein show of her work: Coincidences. 

Kettal

Great outdoor furniture from Kettal that I would happily use indoors.

Catherine Noury Loveliness

Beautiful work by French textile artist and photographer, Catherine Noury. Via Hidden In France.

To Forever Friends

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band including Clarence 'Big Man' Clemons on sax playing Hyde Park, London in 2009.

Nuria Mora

Incredible wall murals by Madrid artist, Nuria Mora that marry and contrast color and pattern with urban decay.  These images come from her website which is worth a visit as she has a phenomenal portfolio, and from a great interview on Subaquatica. 

I originally saw her work on Poppytalk.

Bath Time

A great bathroom is such a wonderful sanctuary and it can be as unique and creative as any other room in the house.  I love these tubs and tiles on GAP Interiors.

Modwalls And Rex Ray

My friends over at Modwalls who have a Henry Road Tile Collection have just added a fabulous new line designed by San Francisco artist, Rex Ray. The Lush Rex Ray Studio line is a cool blend of newsprint and mod dots that can be mixed and matched. If you are in LA, they will be showing it at Dwell on Design this weekend.
