Germain by India Mahdavi

Boulevard St Germain, located at 25/27 of the rue de Buci. Germain,opened by Thierry Costes, a connoisseur of resto-business activities and run successfully since May 2009 alongside other restaurants and cafes owned by the Costes brothers, the Café Germain offers an alternative to the traditional Parisian brasserie. The café Germain offers today to its customers a mix of different elements and influences both in terms of its atmosphere and cuisine. At a first glance the interior of the ground floor becomes reminiscent of the past conveying to you a 70’s mood. Vibrant colors, mainly reds and yellows often accompanied by contrary blacks, vector patterns on the furniture and carpets and a full surface black-white check board-patterned floor makes you feel as if you are in a retro dining room of the 1970’s era. As far as the cost is concerned, prices range from €30-45 a la carte, which is regarded as a medium-cost restaurant for the Paris standards. Of course everything depends on personal opinions and tastes. but a trendy restaurant carrying a worth-seeing piece of art is something that does not happen everyday.

Darkroom, London







Darkroom, a inspired high-end fashion concept store . Darkroom is already sending shockwaves around the London fashion scene thanks to founders Rhonda Drakeford and Lulu Roper-Caldbeck’s taste and tireless work in sourcing only the finest and most original stock. Stores and exhibitions that blur the lines between fashion, design and ‘objet d’art’ can all too often be knee deep in pretension, but thankfully not so here, the owners clearly have a healthy obsession with their work and that shows in the shear quality and the graceful cohesion of their product lines. A special venture… and one to watch closely! ( via weheart )
