In an era of on-demand conveniences and mass-produced everything, it may be unpopular to point out that faster isn’t always better. In fact, when it comes to craftsmanship, faster is just…faster. No one knows that better than the skilled tradesmen and women who hone their craft by hand, via the old-school methods that most definitely still matter.
With an emphasis on high-quality natural materials and exuberant splashes of color, Daniela Gregis marries modern sophistication with artisanal Italian craftsmanship. Her aesthetic is informed by the balance of the natural world; fueled by poetry, humility and harmony. In a world where traditional artistry and meaningful human connection perpetually compete with blind consumerism and technology, Daniela boldly lives and creates in devotion to the former.
We haven’t left out our favorite curators, people like Cole Ramstad who source the globe for objet that has lasted decade after decade. “Its about quality and craftsmanship and there are some things that cannot be made anymore the way they once were…most people are interested in serving quantity over quality and I am interested only in quality." One of the scarcest variants of his curation is the Hermès ‘Weather Station’, designed by Paul Dupré-Lafon. Collaborating with Hermès for over 30 years, Dupré-Lafon had a keen affinity with practicality combined with luxury, principles embodied by this design for the ultimate multifunction desk accessory made by one of the finest names in luxury goods.
No matter how motley your wardrobe, neutrals are an absolute must. The fashionable choice of color, however, has changed over the years. Black, white, grey, greige, and beige aren’t boring at all – they are here to stay. Whether or not you identify as a true minimalist dresser, there are so many ways to work what we call "forever pieces" into your wardrobe—even for those that prefer vibrant color and prints. Lovers of statement ensembles and minimalist looks alike can consider these the pieces you should definitely have in your closet. After all, most swoon-worthy outfits start with a simple article of clothing that can be worn many ways. And what wardrobe would be complete without accessories? Which brings us to covetable, unfussy jewelry—designs that may look simple, but speak volumes. (And will do so for, well, ever. That’s the joy of precious metals, friends: they last). We are here to help you create the ensembles of your dreams. So let’s get a little inspiration from the likes of Gabriela Hearst, Arts and Sciences and Ali Grace, shall we?

When we hear the name Haider Ackermann we think of all the gorgeous red carpet looks he has created, specifically those worn by Tilda Swinton. He has an exceptional taste for color, and his use of silk and satin have that perfectly undone elegance we adore. There is an unapologetic luxury in Ackermann's work, almost to the point of decadence, as if his ideal woman spends her time lounging around in pyjamas so elegant that she needs not bother changing when she finally goes out in the evening. When Ackerman began designing for Maison Ullens it was clear the collection would find a home here at A’maree’s.
The collection is comprised of sculptured knits in the finest cashmere, soft to the touch reversible outerwear and technical details worthy of the best slopes…this is truly the collection to take you from casual to cocktails. This season Haider Ackermann has developed a unique silhouette that combines extreme elegance with a light, flowing attitude…welcome Maison Ullens to amarees.com
