We were excited to see one of our friends and favorite jewelers, Philip Crangi, on The Coveteur this morning. A true artist and visionary, take a peek inside his Manhattan home that he shares with partner, Darren, who designs accessories for Proenza Schouler. What a creative and inspiring couple! We love the flea market finds and the signature Crangi steel twist rings on the radio dials.

Philip Crangi on The Coveteur

Inspiration Monday!
We're all back to work after a warm weekend in the sun! Radical ladies seem to be on our minds this week, from the avant-garde designs of Prada & Schiaparelli, to Madonna & the Guerrilla Girls. And there's a little Basquiat in there just for kicks. Don't miss Judith Thurman's fantastic article in the New Yorker on the upcoming Prada/Schiaparelli show at the Met. I think we need to take a Metier field trip to New York just to see this show! Images via The NY Times / Jezebel / iwarra / The Coveteur / Miltanthope / Magical Realisms

Client Looks: Siew-Chinn
Siew-Chinn came in with our good friend, Shawn, for a little Monday morning shopping and we instantly fell for her contagious smiles and high energy. She worked the camera so well in her favorite spring pieces from Alexander Wang, Raquel Allegra, and Isabel Marant- she must have been a model in a past life!
Check out this story from Edible East Bay about how she came to be a pastry chef for Chez Panisse and her history as a foodie, starting with her childhood in Malaysia. We can't wait for her to come back and inspire us again...next time maybe we'll be lucky enough to taste some of her signature treats!
