A plate of food has to have balance. For example, a mild fish like skate mustn't be overwhelmed by the side dishes. They should have personality and color, but they also have to be subtle.
I love to have contrast.
Architecture is undistinguished, sometimes derelict, but occasionally, as in 'Post and Beam,' there is something arresting in a setting... the building behind the Cathedral.
Everything I've designed is intended not to match perfectly but to sit together in harmony, to add flair and personality to any room.
I love a modern suit paired with a polo or cotton T-shirt... and then paired with leather sneakers, or cashmere joggers with a tailored blazer and a sleeveless puffer vest to get the ultimate informal and formal combination.
I'm happy with embellishment in a chunky Prada-esque way, but I'm not into sequins!
I tend to lean toward a more minimal aesthetic, so when I use wallpapers in my interiors, I like for one or two prints to be the star of the show. I would recommend being careful in your use of strong prints so the room doesn't get too busy. Use one print that dominates and one as an accent.
For me, it's really like, okay, if you go far with the unexpected materials and unexpected proportions or volumes, then keep the colors quite simple and straightforward for men.
Sometimes I sound like gravel, and sometimes I sound like coffee and cream.
I love white linens and walls mixed with antique Victorian furniture.
The key with a full-skirt shape is to balance it out with a great figure-hugging top.
Often, contrasts bring art to life: the bright speck of paint on a dark canvas; the tightrope walk between humor and tragedy.
I love a good monochromatic moment with doors/walls. I think it looks great!
