T
he houses of fashion designers fascinate me:
One of my favorite interiors is the house, outside Paris,
of Madame Vionnet, with its dark art deco furniture and
light-hearted mural map of Paris covering an entire wall.
On a more sumptuous note, think of Yves Saint-Laurent
ensconced, by way of Jacques Grange's ministrations,
at Chateau Gabriel. How does a designer of clothes—
an artist who draws and drapes—interpret and decorate
a three-dimensional space, especially if that space is not
of Laurentian proportions? The apartment of New York
fashion designer Sylvia Heisel provides an ingenious
answer to this question.
