THE ART OF LIVING....

Florence was a living art gallery and inspiration...a visual delight...

From classical statues...
..to artisan shops - leather goods, silk scarves, jewellery...and these wooden clocks I spotted..
The Trussardi Foundation show was awesome, with works by Pawel Althamer..
..Elmgreen & Dragset..
...Paul MCarthy...
I popped round to see my old mate Pauric Sweeney. He's moved to Florence to be near the factories that produces his bag collections. Check him out in his shazzy office...!!
The place is heaving with his own art collection ...
Particularly loved his original Memphis lamp and shelves...

(Hmmm... DEFINITELY feeling a Memphis inspired Pauric bag for Lulu & Co coming on..)
