Friday Fashion: Art Meets Fashion at the Dalston House

I simply had to post this whimsical fashion shoot by Harper's Bazaar! It's set at the Dalston House, a life-sized installation by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich. Located in East London, Leandro recreated the façade of a late nineteenth-century Victorian townhouse—complete with door, windows, moldings and other architectural details. I've seen some clever Dalston House photos throughout the year, but this editorial includes some of the chicest. With looks by Ralph Lauren, Belstaff, Vera Wang, and Dior, it's the perfect marriage of art and fashion.

Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
