Thom Filicia dispels myth no. 12
Thom Filicia uses a good fashion analogy here in his latest design tip on our home page today. Myth no. 12: there’s no need for there to be a single pattern in a room. This one should make immediate sense to anyone browsing this site. You may also like Lucire updates: emerging talent, a new […]
[Cross-posted] Cadillac will head Down Under, according to General Motors–Holden’s boss Chris Gubbey. It makes sense: the brand is well known despite not having retailed here postwar, thanks to American media, President Bush and The Matrix Reloaded. GM has been making right-hand-drive Caddys for some time for the Japanese and the British. And with […]
Thom Filicia dispels myth no. 2: that all furniture must match
Here’s today’s MyStyle.com clip. I love how Thom Filicia from Dress My Nest dispels another myth about interior design. This episode’s myth: all furniture should match. Thom says, ‘Cobblers!’ (Not that exact word: his statements are far better, as you’ll see below.) You may also like E! gets viewers on the red carpet; Jane Oh […]
In Lucire issue 24, one of my criticisms about the Quadrant Hotel in Auckland was directed at the table. This table is full of holes as an arty feature. Not a good idea: keys, cards and Strepsils kept falling through the holes. Quadrant sales and marketing director Penny Evans wrote me today to note that […]

Audi readies A3 Cabriolet for February launch
Audi has done well with Lucire’s annual Car to Be Seen in, being its inaugural winner at the turn of the century. And its latest model, the A3 Cabriolet, could fare well when it hits streets in February 2008 in Germany. It’s more cohesive in appearance than the A4 Cabriolet, which I had the pleasure […]
For lovers of beauty out there, a couple of articles this month online (re-runs from Lucire’s print edition) may interest you. We have Schwarzkopf’s spring–summer hair trends for the warming southern summer: I found this interesting from a design perspective, with the comments about futurism. Secondly, Ana Vegar’s earlier story on Clarins’ international make-up artist, Claude […]
Media finally get behind Lauren Bush’s WFP bag
It has taken the media a while, considering model Lauren Bush has been promoting these since April, but there has finally been worldwide attention on the Feed 1 bag (US$59·95) that she designed in collaboration with the UN World Food Programme. The bag does hit Harrod’s in December at a £30 price, which admittedly lifts […]
Roberto Cavalli and H&M: the trans-Atlantic party season
You’ve seen the video (which has been on the Lucire home page since late October), now read the article: a little more news of Roberto Cavalli and H&M’s collaboration and the parties they had in Roma and New York to kick it off. We hesitate linking the video in too many places, since it […]
