Global Glamour
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 1/1/2005
International references converge in sophisticated style, blending looks from Europe and the East with Old Hollywood. Supremely glamorous, this trend hones in on over-the-top luxury rooted in bohemian beginnings and artistic persuasion. Exotic skins mesh with precious horn and glass in a dramatic neutral palette dotted with flashes of brilliant color. While vintage references are plentiful, the result is sleek and elegant without a hint of fuss — redefining what's old as completely contemporary.
