CNN —Fashion writer Patrick Mauriès first met Karl Lagerfeld in 1981, after he quoted the fashion designer in a short book he had written about contemporary fashion and culture. As Lagerfeld became more of a public figure in the 1990s and 2000s, he increasingly sought homes that could act as retreats, said Mauriès.

Painted Walls for Exhibition Designs by Nathalie du Pasquier“Nathalie, Javier Mariscal and I are some of the only non-architects of the Memphis Group [the design movement founded by the Italian architect Ettore Sottsass and others in Milan in 1980], and I’m astounded and delighted by the degree to which she’s managed to go off into the fine art realm. She does these walls with color-blocked borders for her exhibits [the one above is from 2017], and I’m so upset because they’re so good.”Image Credit...
