Eid Mubarak

We wish you all a very happy Eid Al Adha. May this Eid fill you're lives with Joy, good health and prosperity.
We also decided to share with you some images of the marvelous Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, the eighth largest mosque in the world, and in my opinion one of the most beautiful ever built.

In the memory of Zahid Ansari

I’ve been thinking about writing something for quite sometime now about a man whom I respected and admired very much. Zahid Ansari.
He was a man of passion, fine taste, opulence, and grand interiors. A true perfectionist! His passion for furniture, and fine details were beyond anyone I had ever met.
He had an eye for details; everything about him was in his details. From the finish of a chair, the trimmings, the embroidery, the lace, even the studs were hand picked and finished in a certain way.
He could transform an ordinary piece of furniture into something totally unexpected, and turn it into a work of art. No one could mix or combine colors, textures and materials as effortlessly as he did.
Zahid’s untimely passing at such a young age, has left us with wonderful memories of his wonderful soul and incredible work.
You will be greatly missed Zahid!

Desert Fish

You have to excuse the quality of these amazing photographs, as they are scans of a magazine. I do promise to re-post the actual ones once I get them from the increadible PETER RICHWEISZ This was a fashion spread shot for Desert Fish Magazine by peter on location at Burlesque. The idea of the shoot was based around Pin Up Girls made famous by Bettie Page in the 1950's. The make up artist did an amazing job by recreating the pin up look and adding some fake tattoos on the model. Burlesque's enviroment was perfect for such a photoshoot. Enjoy!
