WHO I FILMED: PARIS

Jamie Creel and Marco Scarani

Wherever they are in the world, Jamie and Marco decorate fearlessly but always with aplomb.

We had first filmed Jamie and Marco for Quintessence at their home in Tangier: 

In Paris a few years later, their apartment there stunned us with its glamour but also intimacy, complete with one of the most beautiful urban kitchens and guest bedrooms I had ever seen:

And their library was worth the transatlantic trip alone:

Everywhere there are nooks that beckon visitors to sit and call home…not that anyone’s homesick!

By the way above I’m wearing my favorite reversible Harlow jacket which I created with D’Ascoli as part of my Stylish Traveler Collection. 

Mille mercis Jamie and Marco!

Join us for the entire tour here on Quintessense:

Pierre Sauvage

When Stacey and I climbed the massive stone steps to Pierre’s 18th century apartment - with 18’ ceilings! - we were at first intimidated: 

But Pierre's unexpected and exuberant colors of bold blues and saucy mauves immediately soothed and charmed: 

 

And the table and flowers he set for us! Well you’ll just have to see it for yourself as I first saw it:

Here's our entire Quintessence video visit chez Pierre.


Bambi Sloan

Interior designer Bambi is her own muse, honoring her playful name with equal parts reverence, humor and loads of chic. (Even her handmade labeled light switch is chic).

From the moment you cross her threshold, you already know you’ve never met anyone like Bambi and the world could use more of her fearless spirit! 

Here's our entire Quintessence video visit chez Bambi:
