FASHION COMES HOME

Join the conversation Follow us on Twitter @suzannedimma and @houseandhome Like us on Facebookfacebook.com/houseandhomemagazine Fashion and decorating have always been intertwined. The colours, patterns and textures introduced on the runway inevitably show up in our houses. And as our “Model Home” story (page 106) shows, these days, they’re more in step than ever. I think fashion and decor relate so clearly because they’re both about storytelling. On their own, they give an idea of what moves us creatively, but together they offer a far bigger picture. We love to surround ourselves with things that inspire us or have meaning — whether it’s a trademark bracelet you wear every day or the one-of-akind vintage chair you’ve had in every home you’ve lived in. It’s how we develop a look that feels personal. And while not every…

FASHION COMES HOME

IAN WOO Photographer, “Style Steal” (page 24)What’s one fashionable item you can’t live without? I studied jewelry and metalsmithing for a year in art school, and I wear two minimal silver bands on my index fingers that I made for myself — reminders of a time when I made things with my hands. The best thing about spring is… how Montreallers start dressing as though it’s much warmer than it is. Seeing all these stylish people shed their coats and strut their stuff at only 15°C helps declare the end of winter. MATTHEW WILLIAMS Photographer, “Sitting Pretty” (page 82) Who’s your fashion icon? Vivienne Westwood. She took things right off the edge. How does fashion influence your home? Fashion and interior design have run hand in hand throughout history. I’m sure I’ll look back…

STYLE STEAL SEEN AT: Club Monaco’s first new concept store in Canada. FIND IT: 1000 St. Catherine St. W., Montreal, (514) 871-9841 or clubmonaco.ca WHY WE LOVE IT: The space feels like a hybrid of a 19th-century French department store and a stylish friend’s beautiful home, thanks to old world elements like marble stairs, iron railings and stately mouldings. “We’ve used the word ‘residential’ quite a bit — it’s about making you feel comfortable,” says creative director and senior vice president of women’s design Caroline Belhumeur, who’s part of the team leading the design of the brand’s new flagships. A library and café area serves coffees from Montreal’s Café Myriade and treats from Hof Kelsten bakery. Books from Drawn & Quarterly can be browsed along with the usual racks of cool-yet-classic clothing and…

NEW HERMÈS PARFUMS DE LA MAISON SCENT ROOMS WITH DREAMS OF HOME.

PROFILE WHO: Perfumer Céline Ellena and designer Guillaume Bardet WHERE: Alpes-Maritimes and Paris, hermes.com WHAT: Scented objects and candles inspired by Japanese origami THE SCOOP: Ellena is the perfumer dedicated to Hermès’ first home fragrance collection. Her five debut scents — Des pas sur la neige, Temps de pluie, Fenêtre ouverte, Champ libre and À cheval! — were created to answer the question, What is home? “I thought, ‘What if the perfume was like the little noises in a house, experienced through your nose?’ It whispers to you like a creaking floor” she says. Each scent was assigned a signature colour, which lines the interior of the glowing white ceramic and enamel vessels Bardet designed for the candles. “They have a ghostly aspect, like the perfume does,” he says. STANDOUT: A set of four folded-paper…

NEW HERMÈS PARFUMS DE LA MAISON SCENT ROOMS WITH DREAMS OF HOME.

NEW & NOTABLE Inspired by Art Deco highboys and Mesoamerican weaving from the Yucatán, the new Tonio chest by Laura Kirar for Baker dazzles with an inlaid geometric motif that acts like jewelry for your room. Though its inspiration is ancient, the chest’s functionality is all modern: adjustable shelves, a pull-out writing surface and two drawers mean it works as a bar, desk or storage. Walnut; walnut, mozambique and maple veneer; brass. 63½" h. x 36" w. x 20" d. From $23,270. At Studio b.…

WANTED It can be hard to find pet accessories that are as cute as your pup. Vancouver stylist Kate Horsman set out to remedy this with Dog & Crow, a line of on-trend dog beds, collars, bowls and more. Beds in soft grey linen or plush faux fur have the luxe appeal of floor cushions and blend seamlessly with any decor, while braided leather leashes and collars are chic enough for discerning owners and their four-legged friends. Through Dog & Crow. Text by Kristen Koch (Wanted)/Kimberley Brown (Home Library)/Reiko Milley (Hot Import)/Photography by Janis Nicolay (Wanted portrait)/Jamie Lauren Photography (Wanted products)…

HOT IMPORT A glance in the mirror will usually prove what studies show: a good night’s sleep makes us appear more happy, healthy and attractive. But, choosing a mattress can be exhausting. Casper memory- and latex-foam mattresses — now shipping to Canada from the U.S. — keep things simple by offering one model that promises to keep sleepers cool, cushioned and comfortable. Plus, it’s cleverly packed and delivered in a compact box that can fit through all standard doorways. How dreamy! Approx. $1,050 (queen). Through Casper.…

HOME LIBRARY It can be tricky to eke out space for lush, oversized fashion and design tomes. The two-tiered Cub coffee table, new from Blu Dot, lets you stack books in plain view on the smoked-ash base while keeping the tempered smoked-glass top clear of clutter. Slim brass feet float the table above the floor for an airy look that defies its generous proportions. 11¾" h. x 32" w. x 47½" d. From approx. $958. At Urban Mode and through Blu Dot.

Behind Closed Doors

INSIDER TIPS What’s the latest trend in closet design? Making the closet into its own space. Sofas, chairs, even little fridges stocked with drinks and snacks create a sacred space. What’s the coolest closet feature you’ve seen? Celebrity talent booker Lori Levine and branding exec Sylvia Mantella both have surreal closets — rotating shoe carousels, anyone? Actor Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting is definitely up there as well. She converted one of her guest bedrooms into a massive walk-in with a full-out makeup station and mini hair salon, where she gets ready before big events. What’s the fashion crowd’s favourite hanger? They love simple black velvet hangers. Our readers practically revolt if they spot a plastic or (gasp!) wire one. Overall, we’d recommend opting for one hanger style and using it consistently throughout your closet — it allows you…

PROJECT: Paint picture mats for a mod take on the gallery wall. KAI ETHIER Assistant Design Editor DIFFICULTY LEVEL WHAT YOU’LL NEED: Frames with mats, sample pots of paint, paintbrush, paint roller Watching the classic 1958 film Indiscreet, I fell in love with the grid of frames with brightly coloured mats and black and white sketches in Ingrid Bergman’s character’s London flat. I had a collection of black and white paintings to hang, so I decided to create my own mid-century modern-inspired display. Here’s how: 1. Choose frames and remove mats Pick several plain black or white frames, remove the mats and set frames aside. (You could use a wood-toned or coloured frame, but I liked the contrast of the graphic black frame against the vivid hue of the mat.) 2. Pick paint colours I selected a different bright…

ALANNA’S PICKS ARE FROM THE NEW HOMETRENDS COLLECTION FOR SPRING, EXCLUSIVELY AT WALMART. 1 USE BLUE TO: RELAX A IVLING ROOM “ There’s a reason so many people wear blue jeans every day. Denim goes with everything and never feels too serious,” says Alanna, whose clients are often shocked at how she can transform a room with colour. “MAKE A ROOM MORE INTERESTING BY HANGING RUGS LIKE ART. IT'S AN EASY WAY TO INTRODUCE BOLD COLOURS AND PATTERNS ON PLAIN WALLS.” 2 USE BLUE TO: INTRODUCE SOME WHIMSY “I’m all about creating fun tablescapes.

BACKGROUND: For Bobbie Burgers, there was no other path but art. “I’ve been painting my whole life,” she says. “I come from a very creative family. We didn’t have a TV when I was growing up; instead, we did a lot of painting and drawing, taking courses at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and Arts Umbrella and things like that.” After high school, she spent a year painting in Provence. She returned to Canada and earned an art history degree from the University of Victoria, exhibiting her work while studying. Since then, she’s become a name on the Canadian arts scene. HER WORK: On the surface, Burgers’ body of work looks like an in-depth exploration of flowers, but she says her paintings aren’t actually about tulips and roses at…

WHO: Hudson’s Bay’s Nicholas Mellamphy WHAT: A 1,460-squarefoot luxury condo WHERE: Downtown Toronto STYLE: Modern glamour When you spend weeks on end exploring the fashion capitals of the world, your home really does become your sanctuary. This is especially true for Nicholas Mellamphy, whose city-centre condo is a mere five-minute walk from his job as a V.P. and head buyer for The Room — the designer boutique at Hudson’s Bay. His decor is fashionably simple: graphic black and white with pops of what he calls “Venetian green,” balanced by his favourite colour, pink. This is the stage set for the insanely chic objets found on the haute-couture trail: a Venetian mask created by Erickson Beamon for Italian Vogue (Lady Gaga wore one from the same series) on the dining table; repurposed window-display art from…

Make-Believe MOMENTS

My first realization of how strongly fashion can influence decorating, and vice versa, came in 1985 when Meryl Streep as Karen Blixen stood on the porch of her Dutch Colonial home in British East Africa wearing safari breeches and draped with a tribal shawl of many colours. She was arranging the woven rattan chairs, waiting for Robert Redford to return (who wouldn’t?!). The film was Out of Africa, and everything about those interiors — from the armchairs slipcovered in tea-stained chintz to the English bone china and crystal — was a set designer’s vision of perfection. Banana Republic was selling safari-style clothes that year, and Ralph Lauren’s home collections were launched, so you could actually buy his American version of British Colonialstyle fabrics and furniture. The topic was on my mind…

THE LENSMASTER Carlyle Routh TORONTO-BASED Carlyle has been working as a fashion and beauty photographer for the last five years, shooting editorials for publications like The Globe and Mail and Zink Magazine, as well as campaigns for fashion and accessories brands Pink Tartan, Victoria Emerson and Danier. THE SPACE: Carlyle’s home in West End Toronto, which she shares with her husband, contractor Gavin Abrey (whose company, Douglas Reid Renovations, worked on the house) is a study in simplicity — a light-filled, clean space with white walls that act as a backdrop for her photographs and paintings. “I tend to choose furniture and accessories that match the aesthetic of the architecture while adding a touch of fun through their form, material or colour,” she says. With her studio located just around the corner, her…

THE RETAIL BARON AS HEAD OF THE FAMILY-RUN, Quebec-based retailer Simons, Peter is in the process of bringing his stores — an innovative mix of high-low fashion and home decor — to the rest of Canada over the next two years. THE SPACE: Peter moved into his new-build home in a pastoral setting on Île d’Orléans near Quebec City with his wife and his two children less than two years ago. He describes his decor aesthetic as “modern artsy bohemian.” The house, with its cement floors and large windows, serves as a respite from days spent travelling. “I like the way the house relates to nature,” he says. “It’s a place to get away. Just being able to recharge in a natural environment and be comfortable where you are is an inspiration…

DEXTER PEART& MARIA VARVARIKOS PEART

THE FASHION POWER COUPLE DEXTER IS ONE of the founders, along with his twin brother, Byron, of buzzy utilitarian-chic luggage and travel bag line Want Les Essentiels de la Vie and Montreal-based lifestyle boutique Want Apothecary. His wife, Maria, runs her own PR company, Zoï Agency. She creates campaigns and events for fashion and lifestyle heavyweights such as H&M, Tiffany & Co., Adidas Originals and, of course, Want. THE SPACE: The couple, along with their daughters, Kaya Sofia, 5, and Sierra Joanne, 2, live in Montreal’s Habitat 67, the housing concept/architectural landmark created by architect Moshe Safdie for Expo 67. The building’s block-like exterior is a perennial source of inspiration for the couple: “What inspires me most is the play of light and dark, how the shadows hit the structure’s angles at…

THE BUYER A SENIOR BUYER for Holt Renfrew Menswear, Chris travels to fashion capitals around the world, attending runway shows and visiting designer showrooms to curate the best in menswear. THE SPACE: Chris’s 1920s midtown Toronto home exudes a classic eclectic aesthetic, with furniture and artwork reflecting diverse time periods and styles and a palette of grey tones lending a masculine yet intimate feel. “My work has been the inspiration for our home. The colours used — grey, khaki, brown and white — mirror a classic menswear palette,” says Chris, who shares the home with his wife, Andrea Zavitz, a marketing consultant. “The aesthetic has also been shaped by my years of travel as a buyer. There’s so much inspiration to be gleaned from the many showrooms, hotels, shops and restaurants I’ve…

THE ÜBERSTYLIST CANADIAN-BORN, London-based Leith crafts red-carpet looks for celebrities and styles shoots, fashion shows and ad campaigns. She’s also the style director at large for Harper’s Bazaar UK. THE SPACE: Leith’s home style is very much like her fashion aesthetic — retro-chic with romantic touches like florals and warm woods. In her former London home (shown), her love of whimsy is particularly evident. “My favourite thing in this room is my dog, Tilda. And the Moschino daisy lamb — our other poodle, Zazie, likes to pull the daisies off her,” she says. Prized keepsakes and vintage elements play off the parquet flooring, which was reclaimed from a hat factory. THE WORK: Leith’s celebrity client list reads like a who’s who of Hollywood It girls: from Kirsten Dunst to Keira Knightley (right) and…

BASED IN: Milan BACKSTORY: Wanda Jelmini is the creative head of the home division of Italian fashion giant Missoni. She has been an integral part of the brand’s look since its very beginning — she was studying interior decorating when her aunt, Rosita Missoni, recruited her to work on the very first home collection. Q+A House & Home:When did you first realize you loved design? Wanda Jelmini: I can honestly say that I’ve loved design since childhood. In my earliest memories, I’m interested in colours, fascinated by objects and how everything can come together. Designing and creating have always been passions. H&H:What does your house in Milan look like? WJ: It was built in the early 1900s, and architecturally speaking, it’s a culmination of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Inside, it’s very much my style: a…

Tucked inside a restored London coach house, this principal bedroom is a tranquil refuge from hectic city life. Brit designer Jonathan Reed used a palette of deep blue, putty and warm wood to create a look that’s both serene and sophisticated. The scheme also connects the sleeping area with an elegant adjoining closet. It’s a serious upgrade on standard clothes storage, with glasspaned doors that give the room a more open feel and put a tidy collection of garments on permanent display. For some softness, Reed brought in a suede headboard, rustic blanket and Beni Ouarain rug, as well as a few understated accents like a metal sconce for reading, trad nightstand and simple, Asian-inspired stool. Completing the effect is a large photograph of an ethereal forest mounted over the…

Made TO Measure

ADD VOLUMES Lisa is a booklover, so it was obvious to me to add floor-to-ceiling bookcases behind the spiral stairs. The space between the stairs and wall was only 26" — too narrow for furniture but not for bookcases that only need to be 14" deep! The staircase itself was given a long overdue facelift with a grey ombré paint job and glossy black handrail and treads. Design, Thomas Smythe; all paint colours, Para Paints; dress, Lanvin; shoes, Manolo Blahnik. MASTER THE ART OF DISGUISE Several walls in the kitchen and dining area were clad in 2" x 4" Calacatta marble tile to link the two spaces. There’s no rule that says storage solutions for kitchens have to look clinical — especially in a home with an open plan. I wanted the dining…

REBECCA TAYLOR New York-based fashion designer KNOWN FOR: Her modern feminine style and fearless mix of textures and prints HOW HER STYLE COMES HOME: • A balance of quirky and classic designs • Pops of pattern • Personal details that pull everything together EVEN THOUGH Rebecca Taylor’s namesake fashion line is carried in 26 countries by stores like Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman, and despite the fact that Reese Witherspoon, Rashida Jones and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, are fans, you can be forgiven for not knowing much about the designer herself. “I prefer the clothes to speak for themselves. And hell, I’m just a small-town Kiwi girl; we don’t go in for all that kind of stuff,” she says. What does she go in for? The film Moonstruck, for one. It not only inspired the…

HOW HER STYLE COMES HOME: • Whimsical patterns • A simple, natural backdrop • Nostalgic style HOUSE & HOME:Looking at your home, it’s like you put Morocco, Victorian England and a Saskatchewan farmhouse into a blender and somehow came up with this perfectly balanced mix in downtown Toronto. What’s the trick? VIRGINIA JOHNSON: I have no idea! I just fall in love with pieces. Like the chintz sofas that I bought at a secondhand store in Toronto: I fell in love and handed over my credit card. I’m not organized enough to come up with a master plan and execute it. I don’t have a lot of…

HOW HIS STYLE COMES HOME • Masculine fabrics • Graphic black and white photography • Streamlined furnishings WHEN YOU LOVE quiet luxury and classic style, and live something of a jet-set lifestyle, it makes perfect sense to look to great hotels for decorating inspiration — or to take hotel-inspired living to its logical conclusion and actually move into one. That’s exactly what Joe Fresh president Mario Grauso did when he needed a Toronto pied-à-terre. Mario, who runs the day-to-day operations of the fashion and lifestyle retailer, splits his time between Toronto, New York and Bridgehampton, N.Y.

The sweetness of the delicate hummingbird print, prim buttoned-up collar and flirty transparent sleeves is tempered by a sacklike leather clutch and tinsel-toed mules, and a ruffled bralette only looks innocent until you realize it’s cheekily sewn on the outside of the dress. Clothing, Rochas. AT HOME: A serene guest bedroom has some fun when its Empire-style bed is joined by a wrought-iron chair from the garden. Large-scale bird wallpaper has a pretty soft green and lavender palette reminiscent of the dress’s fabric, but its whimsical look is pushed slightly off-kilter by the shell-studded ottoman set in the middle of the room and the unexpected mid-century modern sconce perched…

1 MIXED STRIPES The horizontal black and white stripe has been a classic since Coco Chanel’s first Breton-inspired tops debuted in 1917, but there’s always room for innovation — like adding vertical stripes to the mix. Cardigan jacket, Veronica Beard;glassware by Josef Hoffmann for Lobmeyr, Avenue Road. 2. PAINTERLY & ABSTRACT Chunky blocks of colour are of-the-moment, and putting dark blues and purples with oranges and pinks feels fresh, too. Dress, Aritzia;painting, DwellStudio. 3. MALACHITE This deep green stone looks equally gorgeous on a bangle for the wrist and a bauble box for the home — especially when paired with the warmth of gold or brass. Bracelet, Vita Fede; box, RabLabs. 4. PONY PRINT Graphic yet organic, a pony print boosts a pointy-toed pump and takes on kaleidoscopic dimensions on an area rug. Pump by Gianvito Rossi,…

THE LENSMASTER Carlyle Routh TORONTO-BASED Carlyle has been working as a fashion and beauty photographer for the last five years, shooting editorials for publications like The Globe and Mail and Zink Magazine, as well as campaigns for fashion and accessories brands Pink Tartan, Victoria Emerson and Danier. THE SPACE: Carlyle’s home in West End Toronto, which she shares with her husband, contractor Gavin Abrey (whose company, Douglas Reid Renovations, worked on the house) is a study in simplicity — a light-filled, clean space with white walls that act as a backdrop for her photographs and paintings. “I tend to choose furniture and accessories that match the aesthetic of the architecture while adding a touch of fun through their form, material or colour,” she says. With her studio located just around…

Chef Kevin Gilmour from Fat Pasha shares his recipe for Grilled Lamb T-bone. See page 119 for recipe. THIS LAMB DISH hits all the right notes: Middle Eastern flavours, a tangy mustard marinade and a delicious fresh tzimmes to balance the meat. Typically, tzimmes — a stew of root vegetables and dried fruits — is baked as a casserole and served as a side. Chef Kevin Gilmour turns it into an unexpected topping for grilled lamb chops. Gilmour’s version of tzimmes also pairs well with other roast meats, like pork or chicken, and is delicious with bacon at brunch.

BASED IN: Milan BACKSTORY: Wanda Jelmini is the creative head of the home division of Italian fashion giant Missoni. She has been an integral part of the brand’s look since its very beginning — she was studying interior decorating when her aunt, Rosita Missoni, recruited her to work on the very first home collection. Q+A House & Home: When did you first realize you loved design? Wanda Jelmini: I can honestly say that I’ve loved design since childhood. In my earliest memories, I’m interested in colours, fascinated by objects and how everything can come together. Designing and creating have always been passions. H&H: What does your house in Milan look like? WJ: It was built in the early 1900s, and architecturally speaking, it’s a culmination of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Inside,…

Tucked inside a restored London coach house, this principal bedroom is a tranquil refuge from hectic city life. Brit designer Jonathan Reed used a palette of deep blue, putty and warm wood to create a look that’s both serene and sophisticated. The scheme also connects the sleeping area with an elegant adjoining closet. It’s a serious upgrade on standard clothes storage, with glasspaned doors that give the room a more open feel and put a tidy collection of garments on permanent display. For some softness, Reed brought in a suede headboard, rustic blanket and Beni Ouarain rug, as well as a few understated accents like a metal sconce for reading, trad nightstand and simple, Asian-inspired stool. Completing the effect is a large photograph of an ethereal forest mounted over the…

Q We’re finally redoing our laundry room, and I’m not sure where to start. Obviously, we want the room to be hardworking, but we’d also like it to be good-looking. Any advice? — N.B., via email A Of all the household chores, doing the laundry is my favourite. No, really! Transforming damp linens into a crisp tower of folds is work I find gratifying. Whether you share my affection or not, I’m sure we can agree that laundry is a task better enjoyed in a space that is welldesigned. Here are the elements I think are essential in a great laundry room. 1. Keep it light. Who wants to do four loads in a dark, heavy space? Laundry rooms should be light in colour and well-lit by natural or artificial light. The reasons…

Goodbye, winter blues — hello, cheerful yellow! Like spring’s first daffodils, we’re emerging from the frost with an optimistic burst of this radiant hue. Michael Kors sent models down the runway in marigold-coloured balmacaan jackets — a buoyant foil to the urban all-black uniform and the perfect topper for zipping through the streets in a lemon yellow Fiat 500 Lounge Cabrio. Talk about a citrus rush! At home, add a little zest to a neutral scheme with Piero Lissoni’s tinted-glass bookcase or a knit pouf from textile designer Claire-Anne O’Brien, or change the whole flavour of a room with Wrong for Hay’s vibrant saffron sofa. Whatever the weather, spring will be sunny and bright. WEB Browse a gallery of cheerful yellow rooms at houseandhome.com/apr2015…

Made TO Measure

ADD VOLUMES Lisa is a booklover, so it was obvious to me to add floor-to-ceiling bookcases behind the spiral stairs. The space between the stairs and wall was only 26" — too narrow for furniture but not for bookcases that only need to be 14" deep! The staircase itself was given a long overdue facelift with a grey ombré paint job and glossy black handrail and treads. Design, Thomas Smythe; all paint colours, Para Paints; dress, Lanvin; shoes, Manolo Blahnik. MASTER THE ART OF DISGUISE Several walls in the kitchen and dining area were clad in 2" x 4" Calacatta marble tile to link the two spaces. There’s no rule that says storage solutions for kitchens have to look clinical — especially in a home with an open plan. I…

REBECCA TAYLOR New York-based fashion designer KNOWN FOR: Her modern feminine style and fearless mix of textures and prints HOW HER STYLE COMES HOME: • A balance of quirky and classic designs • Pops of pattern • Personal details that pull everything together EVEN THOUGH Rebecca Taylor’s namesake fashion line is carried in 26 countries by stores like Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman, and despite the fact that Reese Witherspoon, Rashida Jones and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, are fans, you can be forgiven for not knowing much about the designer herself. “I prefer the clothes to speak for themselves. And hell, I’m just a small-town Kiwi girl; we don’t go in for all that kind of stuff,” she says. What does she go in for? The film…
