Resources Rule

Jan 28th, 2010

James Andrew - East 60th Street.

I love creating something that clients never dreamed possible (or possibly never knew they wanted)! – The challenge is to produce a cohesive statement that reflects the tastes of the the clients – creating an environment that not only soothes and comforts but elates and inspires the spirit.

An indispensable part of being a successful designer is having exceptional resources – one such resource lies at East 60th Street here in New York City – there you will find a brilliant collection of some of the finest antiques and decorations – some of my favorites like David Duncan, Ann Morris Antiques, John Salibello Antiques and many more – Most of these suppliers are only available to the trade – so hire a decorator and create something extraordinary together! Almost every spectacular project has been the result of creative collaboration! You can play Louis XIV and I’ll be your Louis Le Vau – and I know where we’ll find an André Le Nôtre to help us with the garden – lets make your Versailles visions a reality!

I’m here on East 60th Street shopping for several clients wearing a Ralph Lauren silver ski parka, teal cashmere turtleneck sweater by Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen herringbone wool tweed cargo style pant, Lanvin teal suede sneakers, Gucci black leather tote and glasses, Sermoneta purple leather gloves.

One of my fave looks so far. The McQ pants and the teal shoes are awesome. I want them!
Look chilly where you are.

Sydney is still sweltering

I must admit that I disagree with winston – and it’s solely down to the silver puff jacket… I remember alot of the big fashion houses made ’em (was it aw08), but I just think they’re too tehcno 🙂

I hope you don’t take this too personally, because you shouldn’t! Generally, I rate you as one of the best dressed men in the World!

And I never grow tired of your Alex McQueen trousers! They’re phenomenal!

Hey James,

This week, you’ve been in three of my favorite places: the West Village, Palm Beach, and now TES! Wish I had a travel schedule like yours — and a wardrobe to match!

The people want to know though: most of your outfits are day outfits… what does a night life ensemble look like?

Ciao!
Stephanie

That is a wonderful quote about clients and dreams and taking it beyond that-I think that is the mark of a great designer. As it is quotable-may I use it on my own blog with your name “”? pgt
