Glossy Glass

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
Late last spring a wonderful opportunity to be a part of fashion history occurred when renown set designer Steve Halterman and prop stylist Meghan Czerwinski came into our shop to borrow our fancy glass wares for a fashion spread in the premiere issue of Carine Roitfeld's much buzzed about "CR Fashion Book".  I was lucky enough to assist on the shoot, which was themed around Elsa Peretti and shot on-location at Halston's storied Manhattan townhouse. Above center left is a vintage Seguso silver leaf vase, center right a Swedish mercury glass lamp and smoky grey glass bowl. Bottom shot is the actual Seguso bowl as featured on the coffee table. CR Fashion Book is on newsstands now.
