"One day we just thought, oh, let's dip some sunflowers in cement." I think this really summarizes an artist's approach to life in general.

[@michaelrg3836]

Hmm. Next time dip the cello in cement! There's something creepy about cement flowers. Poor sunflowers!

[@twistoffate4791]

@@michaelrg3836 I felt pity for the poor flowers as well. Seems wrong.

[@nickdouglas736]

@@twistoffate4791 Why? he preserved them instead of letting them rot and throwing them away.

This is terrible idea, it’s an extremist form of sunflower cancelation. Shame on you Sir.

We need more designers review their most iconic looks! Less celebrities more designers please

[@gnarbeljo8980]

I’m SO uninterested in celebrity. Creatives I love to listen to and discover, ie artists, designers, artisans and everyone who creates original works voicing their own personal expression and point of view. Culture outlives wealth and passing trends since the dawn of humanity.

[@jrmn2814]

ugh yes pleaseeeeee

[@JanneWolterbeek]

Totally agree. I just subscribed to the channel, but I have no interest in fashion or models, but the designers and their homes is highly fascinating!

Can we talk about this pajamas they designed? Some of the rooms may not have been to my personal taste, but you could see that it was perfectly curated in their taste which made it beautiful. The pjs were an exciting note to end on an quite elegant. Loved this. More designer’s please!

[@susanurbanczyk9084]

He is so very charming. I adore spaces that are extensions of a person's personality. Spaces that are well loved. Even if you are don't like a particular aesthetic you cannot help be charmed by the love and personal attention a space like this has been given.

its so lovely to see the person behind Marni as I adore Marni clothes , for myself Marni is clothing for people have earned it, for people who have been at one point vunerarable or been through things in life that have made them stronger and Marni offers them the rebirth on a new skin. Like collapsing new buildings.Its not about showing off its about the beauty of being whom one is warts and all.

[@carolz5090]

He has a sense of humor about himself and the objects, and that’s just lovely.
