Vive L’Amy!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ After a scrumptious dinner hosted by the one-and-only @alexhitz with fab table mates, @katbbryan and @vanessanoelstyle at Sette Mezzo, @amyfinecollinsibdl and I realized we had not documented the occasion. ⁣ ⁣ As we walked up Lexington, I stopped stranger-but-not-strange, @willburgat. Will was eating a sandwich on the corner following a Bastille Day celebration. I politely asked Will to take our photo. Like all typical French, he immediately accommodated and agreed to an impromptu photo shoot. Vive La France. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #amyfinecollins #ibdl #internationalbestdressedlist #alaia #thombrowne #manoloblahnik #wheninrhone #someonegetusacampaign #settemezzo #bastilleday #modelstyle (at Sette Mezzo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWIQdDBpMU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Marella Agnelli, The Last Swan. As a gay man, I have always been both dazzled and intrigued by the glamorous and beguiling women of the 20th century. Their alluring character, couture clothing, glittering diamonds and beautiful homes are what I find most irresistible. I feel the Society Swan of this era had a certain je ne sais quoi that I can’t quite put my finger on. ___________________________________________ #marellaagnelli #villarperosa #turin #italy #fiat #agnelli #horstphorst #interiors #thelastswan #trumancapote #swans #highsociety #societyswan #internationalbestdressedlist #noblewoman #artcollector #socialite #vogue #halloffame #designer #decor #decorating #decoration #interiordesign #interiordesigner #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #styleicon (at Turin, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/theunabashedepicurean/p/CY9g58NI2EI/?utm_medium=tumblr
