The Court - Circuit Fashion, Design & Art Fair in Marais

Yesterday at Court - Circuit, "the fair of the creation" at l'Espace des Blancs Manteaux, (September 28 - 30,2007), I've found several interesting objects:

Interactive Lightning Wall Pictures a.k.a. Creadocs by Made In HL

Various accessories by ChinArt

B/W photographies and printed In Dog We Trust dollars by Egor All

Lamps made from computer chips by Alain Vilatou (AVLumen)

The coat by unknown designer (forgot to ask her name)

Visiting New l'Eclaireur's 600 m2 space in the 8ème yesterday

I took this photo of the l'Eclaireur's black van with printed Fornasetti patterns, yesterday in the front of the super sharp and sophisticated store, bar and restaurant L'Eclaireur at 8-10 rue Boissy d’Anglas (next door to the Buddha Bar).

Go to the Rue Boissy d’Anglas and have a dinner in this brand new Fornasetti temple owned by Armand & Martine Hadida, you won't regret it - everything here is breathtaking and so ultra holychic. The only other time I had this feeling was in Venice.
Soon: Video-interview with Mr. Hadida at HolyChic.com

New Hotel by Lacroix: Hôtel le Bellechasse

Upside: Ultra cool artsy ambiance. Finally a new Parisian hot-spot de luxe which is not designed with 90's minimalistic codes or by smothered "Plastic-Surgeon-From-16ème" flat decoration mold. Lacroix is here so over the top that you might find yourself searching for a White Rabbit after visiting the third room of the hotel.

Downside: Some rooms are so small. Lack of daylight. Does an old-fashioned bathtub in the middle of the tiny room with a low ceiling represent the playful imagination of the couturier or it's just prosaic result of space lacking? Read more at: HolyChic.com
