Elements of Style - Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry celebrate 10 years of artistic exploration at Hermès
Last March, Hermès brought its home universe to life in eye-popping fashion at a one-night-only extravaganza staged at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The lavish performance featured dozens of dancers showcasing the French luxury house's furniture, tableware, textiles, and decorative objects in elaborately choreographed vignettes that seemed to riff on the unboxing ritual so popular on social media-a supersized spectacle of conjuring magic from ordinary crates. The event also coincided with the 10th anniversary of Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry's tenure as artistic directors of the Hermès home division.

Vibe Shift- With confident vision, designer and activist Aurora James takes an ever-evolving approach to making a vintage LA house her very own
Aurora James has a strong sense of intuition, and it often pays off. In July 2020, James-who counts footwear designer, activist, and investor among her myriad of titles-was gearing up to make an offer on the first house she ever toured in Los Angeles. After scouting the listing on Zillow, she scheduled a viewing and hopped on a plane from New York. It was hard to resist the sweet Laurel Canyon cottage with a towering redwood out front, tucked away off a winding wooded road. For James, it was immediately a yes, though the friend she had brought along begged her not to pull the trigger so quickly, even calling the place a "tragic disaster." But James, as usual, trusted her instinct and bought it. "I think I always see potential in things," she explains. "I just saw that there were some easy tweaks that could make it better, and I felt at home."
Pride of Place - Lucía Echavarría puts age-old Colombian craft to bold use
Echavarría explains over Zoom from her Bogotá studio as she holds up a striped werregue bowl, its fibers entwined so tightly the vessel could carry water. Her varied work (now realized with the help of more than 80 artisans) puts a contemporary spin on that and other timeless techniques while preserving the traditional colors, motifs, and construction methods. At Milan's Alcova fair, this past April, Echavarría filled the living room at Villa Borsani with slipper chairs upholstered in hammock fabrics, tables topped with eye-popping beadwork, and svelte side chairs sheathed in woven estera. Her solo exhibition, on view at London's Lamb gallery through November, showcases 12 methods practiced across 10 regions.
