Moments of Beauty

Love how this simple photo of a model in a grey coat brings forth echoes of 18th century paintings — it's there in the carefully disheveled folds, the glimpse of skin, the turn of the head. Perfect. And a great coat, too. Photo by Max Farago for M Le Monde, November 2013 issue.

Montreal Via Copenhagen

Danish fashion executive Erik Rydingsvärd knew exactly what he wanted when he purchased a nondescript triplex in Montreal, Quebec's Plateau neighbourhood — a space with elements of his Scandinavian background as well as local influences. With the team of designer Maria Rosa Di Ioia and architect Emilie Bédard of EM Architecture, the result is a seamless modern space that combines details like the wrought-iron spiral staircase (an aesthetic nod to the neighbourhood's signature outdoor stairways) and a rooftop sauna — an essential for Erik. Great reno. More here on Dwell (and check out the before photos to see just what an amazing job they did).
