At the risk of boring you all to death with yet another post about David Collins and Spanish Architectural Digest….I’ll put a slightly different spin on this one. Suffice to say though, I got my fix of both this month. My heart almost stopped when I saw the spread on the latest incarnation of Collins’ London abode. Okay, so back to the spin. The apartment, as expected, has a fabulous assortment of art. One piece in particular seemed quite familiar and then I realised that the same piece is in another of my all time favorite apartments, the Boston residence of designer Frank Roop. The piece I’m referring to is “La Folie” by photographer Didier Massard. There is something a little romantic, and also a little eerie about it – like most of his work. A quick browse through his website and I’m in love!

Didier Massard’s latest book was released late last year and is available on Amazon. It’s definitely going on my wish list – along with a few of his photographs!
Hi Bad Girl Esq – I promise I’ll post them soon! I was hoping they would make their debut when my website is ready…we’ll see, maybe I’ll post a few before then. Thanks for asking!
RBB – I wish there were more images too….
I really enjoy David Collins’ interiors. Always so polished and glamorous, especially the color of the Blue Bar at the Berkeley and the entire Wolseley, which is classic bistro perfection from top to bottom. He has built quite the empire! I only wish there were more images of his work available for viewing on his site. To see specific projects you need to apply for a password, which strikes me as a bit unfriendly.
Hello, I have been waiting for your bachelor pad project post 😉 Is it still going on? So curious~ & Thanks so much for the posts!!!
Certainly can Kate!
And thanks Frank! So surreal, but lovely, to get a message from someone I’ve blogged about!
oops…sorry. It is Frank Roop.
Oh la la—you have me convinced to add a few Massard photographs to my wish list as well! A girl can dream, right?
XX Kate
Gee, thanks (Frank?)!
Thanks for posting a nice photo of my work. Your blog looks really wonderful….keep up the great work!
