BITS & PIECES OF HERVE PIERRE‘S PARIS APARTMENT have been featured here quite a few times. As the year drew to a close, thought it might be lovely to revisit this insanely chic space with its piles of books and pink hat boxes, as well as compare it to Pierre’s new apartment in New York . . .

NEW YORK

As mentioned, the creative director of Carolina Herrera left his Paris apartment where he lived for fifteen years, as well as the position of head of haute couture at Pierre Balmain, for a condo on lower Fifth Avenue. Here we can see a few of the things from Paris—artwork, books and hat boxes—but not the pink ones, and the floral and feathers of the canopy bed has been replaced by blue check. Here is a glimpse into the still terribly chic, maximalist space . . .

“I am in New York during business hours,” Pierre explains, “but at home I need to be in Paris.”—Hervé Pierre
