“

The lifestyle the couple has created further insulates them from the urban bustle. They both use the carriage house as an office and rarely venture out except for daily runs to the girls’ French primary school, one subway stop away, and summer trips to Van Leeuwen for chocolate and Earl Grey Tea ice cream.

In the evenings, Halard will pull down the projector screen and let the girls watch their favorites—National Velvet for Grey and anything ballet for Poppy (she is particularly fond of Nureyev). After supper, it’s up to bed, where they are read one English story and one French story each…

“A RISD-trained painter, she became an accidental actress last year when her childhood friend, filmmaker Lena Dunham, persuaded Kirke to star in her indie hit film, Tiny Furniture, as well as the highly-anticipated Judd Apatow-produced HBO series, Girls. Artist, performer, mother, wife—Kirke deftly moves between each role with effortless charm.”

“When I was in my mid-20s, I painted a portrait of a friend who, as payment, invited me on a three-week trip to Paris…While I was saying my farewells, Bill de Kooning invited me to have a drink with him at the bar. Bill said, “As soon as you return, call me and we will get together for dinner.” We never did have that dinner, because I would cash in my round-trip Air France ticket and stay in Paris for the next 40-some years.”

“In Toronto, before rising to fame, she was a roommate of fellow recording artist Feist. Feist worked the back of the stage at Peaches’ shows, using a sock puppet and calling herself “Bitch Lap Lap”. The two also toured together in England from 2000–2001, staying with Justine Frischmann of Elastica and M.I.A. M.I.A. went on to video document Peaches’ 2000 US tour and made clothes for the musician, while Peaches inspired M.I.A. to use the Roland MC-505 in her own compositions.”

“We met a very relaxed and friendly David on the sunny balcony of his shared apartment right next to the Parc des Buttes Chaumont. He served his mother’s homemade apple-pie and the afternoon passed by as we talked about what it means to be a German in Paris, his favourite hangouts in the Haute-Marais and where he goes for a picnic in summer. As the sun settled down and the silhouette of the Sacré-Coeur slowly disappeared in the dark, we totally understood that special charm that drew David to the City of Lights.”

“Though their design studio is planning a move to Manhattan, fashion designers Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra have spent the last 13 years happily toiling away on their label from their balsam-fir scented Carroll Gardens walk-up apartment. They recently let PAPER in for a tour of their cozy pad. Full of books, bears, inspired renderings of the stylish couple, and plaid — so much plaid, their digs are a perfect reflection of the mens’ “sophisticated lumberjack” look.”

““Strolling down Bedford Avenue in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn can often give you a similar anxiety to dressing up for your first day at a new school. Yet just less than a block away from the too-cool-for-school hustle and bustle of the Sunday shoppers and brunching couples, Simon Howell and Jessica Barensfeld have created a nest in which time passes restfully. Here, the sun seems to always shine into a jungle of curiosities and clouds of freshly brewed lemon and apple mint tea.””

“If you want to understand a little bit about Olatz’s left-field sensibilities, ask her about her hair. She will tell you that Julian used to cut it (“Sometimes it came out nice, sometimes it came out crazy”), and that now she cuts it herself, bypassing expensive hairdressers and simply snipping along her shoulder line. It should be said — in case this is so obvious it seems not to merit a mention — that Olatz is one of the top four and a half most beautiful women on earth, and it’s impossible not to warm to her over the hair detail. Because for all her natural refinement, there is in her a tiny, beguiling dose of the feral child.”
