MI CASA SU CASA
June 26, 2008


The most poetic eyes in Barcelona have been gazing upon this grand facade for a century. Lovers hand-in-hand on the Passeig de Gràciais are at once cast in the shadow of a jewel-encrusted, masked dragon posing as a handsome moderniste apartment building. For your own Catalonian composition, pair this taffeta emergency jacket in deep purple (American Apparel) with some cuffed khaki Phillip Lim trousers. Add some nouveau to your art with a silver skeletal bracelet by Martin Margiela (available from Aloha Rag). Italian-made green lunettes by Steven Alan will add the perfect mirrored fenestration to your very own striking facade. If you sadly cannot make it to Barcelona this summer, Hiroshi Teshigahara’s superb film Antonio Gaudi from Criterion Collection is almost as romantic.
