As LCFMaison enjoys a winter brightened by the recent Holiday festivities and
commerce, we appreciate precious inspiration culled from last year into new textile expressions for 2014.
Once again,
our cllients’ complex perspectives shape the path we're on and the
directions we'll take. Hints: CHILDLIKE, EXTRAVAGANT, and SURREAL.

Special
creative friend, New York interior stylist Colleen Weinstein, opened her
apartment at the Hotel Chelsea to us for a photo shoot last November, during
which we discovered the work of Boomer Feith, a young talent whose keen metallic leather accent pillow enhances our Ondine silk Bolster, available at More &
More Antiques in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

while a dress and accessories we created for AldoCastillo Projects referencing Velasquez’s portrait of the Infanta Margarita in
his “Las Meninas” painting that was shown at Art Spot International in the Spectrum Fair during Art Basel Miami, marked our debut into the conceptual realm of the visual arts.
We intend a return to innocence this coming year as we expand our Enfants collection to introduce new unicorn characters Sophie, Joie and Baby Triomphe from American artist Jacqueline Johnson's sparkling kingdom where Grace la Licorne frolics, and the "Once Upon a Teacup" story written by moi, and its accompanying collection of soft furnishings illustrated by Dutch artist Marjolein Vandersluis.
Dates will soon be announced for the jolly-folie story-hour events we will offer in Florida and Manhattan, as well as details on the childlren's charity that will benefit from our sales.
Whether you find yourself in sun or snow, we wish you an avalanche of inspiration ahead.
