More Color! From Paris Designer Georges Hobeiki 2013

From my favourite Paris Designer Georges Hobeiki - An Elegant & Bright Fuchsia Gown - Beautiful!

Perfect for an "After Wedding Ceremony Gown Change" - An Evening of Cocktails and Dinner!

At JHEF we look at Georges Hobeika’s creations and see the femininity which comes from every one of his gowns, we can not believe that he did not plan to work in this field, at first. 

George majored and graduated in Civil Engineering, and completed his education with Architectural Art and Design  How did he start?  It turns out that he generously wanted to help his Mother in facing her excessive sewing projects, by sketching the dresses which were to become what she had to sew. She relied on Georges - and at the same time it was revealed that Georges was a master dress sketcher.

Bonne Inspiration: David Stark

I am most certain everyone has seen the work of David Stark. David Stark is inspiration in his cleaver design palette  His ability to capture a client's whimsy and recreate it in a glamorous form is true talent. I really like his eye and wish I understood and wonder how he sees simple little things we use every day like wine bottles and newspapers - and then go on to create joy filled, fantastical and functional works of art. 


Recycled wine bottles amassed and pieced together create one giant wine vessel for 
a New York Event

The tiniest pit of these paper flowers were created by the David Stark team and is part of his
Pop Up Store in New York - Day 1 - 2

More green and yellow inspiration from The Stark Pop Up Store

The Palm Tree - The phone part of Pop Up Store

Newsprint Flowers  - Everything was for sale

A Wedding Reception  - Unexpected plaids - Chartreuse and Blue - White Benches

Giant Sunflowers  - Sunny yellow place cards mimic each other  -  The Chocolate Table Cloth is in in sync with the Sunflowers' Chocolate centers. 


Here's to Bonne Planning
