Le petit Trianon in Versailles back to its Marie-Antoinette's glory

The Petit Trianon is Versailles was brought back to its Marie-Antoinette 's glory. It will open to the public in October, showing it almost as Marie-Antoinette left it in October 5th 1789.

In the Palace of Versailles, the Petit Trianon is a little paradise for Queens. Louis XV ordered it to Ange-Jacques Gabriel for his beloved mistress Madame de Pompadour between 1762-1768. She never had the opportunity to enjoy it as she died 4 years before its completion. Her successor, the beautiful Madame du Barry, inherited it. However, at the time of Louis XV death, she had to give it back to her ennemy, the 19-year-old Queen Marie Antoinette, as the new King offered it to his wife. The young queen made it her world, transforming the castle into her own and private resting place, and extending the garden into a small village.

Bedding from my favorites designers!

I just found out that Layla Grayce is selling Seth & Grayson bedding sets using the fabrics of my favorites designers (mainly Amy Butler)! It is not cheap, but it is beautiful.

Adieu Yves Saint Laurent !

Yves Saint Laurent, the very famous French fashion designer, died this Sunday in Paris, France. He changed the way women can dress and was one of the best "créateurs de mode" that France ever had. I love and share one of his quotes: « Je ne suis pas un couturier, je suis un artisan, un fabricant de bonheur. »

Good-bye, YSL, and thank you for your art and inspiration.

Favorite fabric designers in the United States

From my perspective, there are three fabric designers in the US that bring a fresh and modern aspect of the fabric industry: Amy Butler, Heather Bailey and Joel Dewberry.

I am very fond of Amy Butler's work. Her fabrics are modern, colorful, young, and great to coordinate. Any creation with those fabrics look stylish and simple at the same time. And the fabric is soft, resistant and of high quality. I also love the creations that she designs. My enthousiasm conquiered my best friend's interest and we are together day dreaming about Amy's fabrics. You can get a glance at Amy's fabric here.

Heather Bailey does an interesting job with color. The style is more girly than Amy and looks almost vintage sometime. When the fabrics are mixed together or with an Amy Butler's fabric, the effect on the creation can be wonderful! You can get a glance at Heather's fabric here.

Joel Dewberry is a new fabric designer with a lot of talent. His fabrics are more modern and masculine with many small or clean patterns. Although each looks good individualy, the color palette of the collections makes them even more beautiful when coordinated. You can get a glance at Joel's fabric here.

I am not listing Kasse Fasset here as although he was born in the US, and got a degree in Boston, his headquarters are in London.

Coming soon: Cute accessories!

Itiza will open the year with new accessories, especially very cute little vanity bags. They should be on the itiza website ready for ordering by mid-January.
