Dear Shaded Viewers,

After one year and about 73 - 100 trials, I am finally in love with the first of four fragrances that we will do our best to launch this Spring. at UNSCENT.  I had the most wonderful exchange with 'the nose' and we are working on the next 3 fragrances which I know are going to please me as much as the first one. Fact is, I am definitely not easy to please but when I am...it is a love story.

Dear Shaded Viewers,

It is crazy, it has only been a few days since I left Tokyo for Paris and already I'm missing it.  These photos from Kouichi Nakazawa arrived in my mailbox today, thought that I'd share them with you.

Later,

Diane

Dear Diane and Shaded Viewers,

This week marked the North American debut of Le Cabinet de Curiosités of Thomas Erber. This fourth edition is hosted by Maison Kitsuné, and housed at both the brand's New York boutique and The Avant/Garde Diaries Project Space in Soho.

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I'm a little late playing catch up with my Tokyo experience. The day before ASVOFF Tokyo, George Inaki took me to the store opening of Louis Vuitton. By now you've seen the chandelier created by the Korean artist Do-Ho Suh,  "Cause and Effect" , which consists of 42,000 clear acrylic resin human figures suspended from a stainless steel and an alumninum frame.  Sophia Coppola did the window display.
