Christian Dior, Martin Kline, Francois-Xavier Lalanne, Peter Marino, and Maurice Beane Art and Design

French luxury maison  Christian Dior inaugurated this week its flagship store in Milan on Via Montenapoleone. The new Dior flagship store, designed by Peter Marino, covers 500 sqm and is spread over two floors. Several artworks curated by Marino adorn the new Dior store in Milan: a floral shaped ginko biloba signed by Claude Lalanne, porcelain sculptures by Liu Jianhua, a fireplace created by Juan and Paloma Garrido, a sculpture by Martin Kline and a table by Paul Evans. To celebrate the opening of the new Dior flagship store, October 11 to November 4, the Triennale Museum of Milan features the “Lady Dior As Seen By” exhibition.

I met the architect Peter Marino at the New York PAD Show 2011.

THE JUDGE

James Madison's Montpelier

 I was in Ruckersville VA yesterday and I think if you want a great get-a-away drive you might enjoy a visit.  From Richmond I went up interstate 64 to Gordonsville ( exit 136 US 15 )  then left on Rt 33 to Ruckersville on Rt 29.  Past the Barboursville Vineyards, James Madison's home Montpelier and several really good places to eat.  The holiday lights in the small quaint town of Gordonsville was like going back in time and they have The BBQ Exchange, a fun BBQ place to eat.  A delightful way to spend a day.  Oh, and a surprisingly GREAT place full of fabulous vintage modern items in Modern Ruckus at the Ruckersville Gallery,
