We are sad to announce the accidental death of French designer, Lucien Pellat-Finet.
His stunning book SUPER F**KING LUCKY published by Pointed Leaf Press highlights his talent earning him the title, King of Cashmere

Luisa Zargani writes in WWD:
In 1969, Pellat-Finet was discovered by Pierre Cardin and began to model in Paris and Milan. In 1975 he began styling for Thierry Mugler, and in 1979 he met Philippe Guibourgé, “the love of his life,” said Lahssan; Guibourgé was Chanel’s ready-to-wear designer and died in 1986. He also styled for Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent at Chanel..

Celebrating with Lady Hamilton and her dog 🙂

In this canvas, Emma Hamilton's expression of innocence is enhanced by the sweet dog cradled at her side. In contrast to the contemporary portraits of wealthy, socially elite women—with their powdered wigs and extremely white, make-up-covered faces—George Romney portrays Lady Hamilton like an allegorical figure, with loose, dark hair, unbounded by the social strictures of her day.
