To many modern customers and discerning tastemakers, it takes more than a stylish fashion item to fulfil their immersive journey. An irresistible shopfront design can evoke curiosity, warm nooks and crannies can engage customers to explore the merchandise in detail, a vivid brand identity can leave an unforgettable impression, a meticulous lighting solution can highlight products… We’ve put together a curated list of retail shops around that globe that provide a juxtaposition of refreshing accents and an unexpected edginess. VILLA NOAILLES GIFT SHOP Upon arrival at this vibrantly hued gift shop set within Villa Noailles, an art centre in Hyères of southern France, you’ll be instantly mesmerised by French interior designer Pierre Yovanovitch’s specific use of soothing, fairytale-like palettes.

It was love at first sight for a family of four when they encountered this sun-drenched, garden-cocooned two-storey home, nestled within the lush hills of Sydney. “The privacy and serenity of the property captivated the clients,” says interior and furniture designer Dylan Farrell of Dylan Farrell Design, who helmed the project in collaboration with Thomas Hamel & Associates. “They immediately knew it was special and that they could turn it into their dream home.” Indeed, with manicured lawns framing the structure on all sides and panoramic views of Sydney Harbour on display from the infinity pool and the entire upper floor, this 19,830sqft, five-bedroom lair looked move-in ready. But Dylan, known for creating phrasal touchstones to inspire his visual narratives, noted the homeowners’ rich collection of art, antiquities and influences…

“I DEVELOPED A HUGE INTEREST AND LOVE FOR CHINA AND ASIA IN GENERAL. NOW, ASIA WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF ME” Consider it a full circle moment. Or a date with destiny. But for Baptiste Bohu to end up in the field of architecture and interior design with an emphasis on mixing European and Asian elements into his body of work could have very well been a predestined – albeit circuitous – route to a flourishing career. He was a business student with a major in finance in France until a study abroad program in 2005 led him to Shanghai; somehow, he ended up working in an interior design firm and eventually launched his own firm. “The market was young and dynamic and had many opportunities. I was very passionate…

A strong, inextricable link between fashion and interior design has always existed, but recently, the two have fused to a point where they have significant influence over one another.

Fashion and interior design trends have always been ever-evolving – and intertwined. While these artistic expressions share similar perspectives in terms of shape, space and form, they also represent a personal, and even psychological, statement. Trend forecasting expert Mariana Keros reveals that trends tend to start with fashion, then gradually blur the lines between that and interiors – fabrics, colours, patterns and embellishments are some of the key features that you can easily spot. Imbue sun kissed, saturated colours throughout your space if you’re after a warmer ambience, and remember that a demure, sophisticated palette brightened by doses of cheery hues is as delightful as any haute couture creation. Take your pick and translate those desired fashion aesthetics into your home. FOR MORE PRODUCTS AND IDEAS, VISIT HOMEJOURNAL.COM AND FOLLOW…

He was by all accounts a singular figure – in both his extensive creative reach and his personal style. He was an icon and iconclast – setting the benchmarks for how we dressed but also pushing its limits with his mantra of never looking back. In his shows for Chanel, he created clothes that made you dream – and for the lucky few – have their sartorial fantasies realised in tres chic tweed ensembles or frothy tulle confections. Just as the clothes were fabulous, so too were the mise en scene visualised by Lagerfeld for his fashion shows at the Grand Palais – big, grand and in epic proportions. He transformed the Grand Palais into worlds that belied the seasons outside its walls: creating a Malibu-esque beach set replete with…

Her distinctively feminine, playful footwear has graced some of the world’s glitziest red carpets, adorning the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Taylor Swift and Céline Dion – and it’s quite a feat for French-born luxury shoe designer Chloe Gosselin, who only launched her eponymous label in 2014. But exquisite style and an astute understanding of the modern woman comes naturally for the former model, who attended La Cambre’s fine arts programme in Brussels before studying shoemaking at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where her CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund-nominated brand was born. Handmade in a little town just outside of central Milan, Chloe’s shoes are emblazoned in stunning Italian artistry with French flair. Having recently wrapped a star-studded pop-up at her mentor Diane von Furstenberg’s Meatpacking District flagship store, Chloe…

“WE BOUGHT THREE MATURE TREES TO CREATE A SHADY GREEN COCOON AROUND US” East and West, old and new, his and hers – these universal dichotomies are elegantly resolved in the charismatic country house of interior design veteran Amanda Clark and her husband, Stephen. Located in the idyllic and verdant Sai Kung Country Park, the English couple’s three-storey village house occupies an exceptional sense of place and showcases an inimitable melange of cherished items collected during Amanda’s 30 years in the interiors business. “I remember the weekend we came back to visit after the demolition work had begun – we really wondered what we had bought!” recalls Amanda, laughing as she reminisces. Indeed, renovating a New Territories village house is no easy feat; it requires a combination of expertise, architectural…
