This, ladies and gentelemen, is Charlotte Gainsbourg's apartment. Notice the Balenciaga shopping bags and the sculptural ghesquiere goodness hanging from the closet? What about a chinoiserie desk, an array of leafy potted plants, a nick cave and velvet underground record set, a record player on a low coffee table, a mirrored closet. It's french enough to fit the vision I had in mind, but then it is so much more modern, so much more streamlined, so much more chic. For some reason the Gainsbourg apartment I had in mind was more ramshackle and haphazard, fraying "shabby chic" (oh, how i hate that term) lounges and french provincial decor. This one is far more cool. It jars a little with the simplicity of her dress, but in a way that is rather pleasant. As if all this modernity and hipness and sleek design was just as natural as ripped jeans and a blue shirt.
