COOKING WITH CURATION

CURATION: collecting and sorting content, indexing and cataloguing of evidence, conservation of cultural resources as a curator.

I guess this would be the difference between hoarding and collecting. But using your collection on a daily bases is my idea of the ultimate collector.

This cook uses her kitchen as a museum to keep her inspired while preparing dishes for her guest. This amazing collection shows the high style that was created during the 1950's with it's user friendly homey feeling that is just as much in vogue now then when it was created and designed in the 50's when everyone was returning from war time and wanted to make their homes modern, elegant and streamline. Entertainment was an art form and a visual feast that was meant to inspire the appetite as well as the eyes. 

This amazing kitchen is a step back in time that makes you feel the same as when it was designed. When America was full of hope. confident and in love with the domestic happiness of being back from war. The economy was whirling away and anything was possible. New home designs, new lives and new families were expressed in these modern kitchens. These designs were innovated in their style, simple but have proven to be timeless and still evoke the feelings of home. But the most wonderful part of all of this is the everyday using of kitchen collection is shared with your family and friends. Our romantic notion of the past has kept vintage dish wear still collectable and giving the curator the temple (the kitchen) and set the center stage of a home.

STYLE IS KNOWING WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY

His fashion had endured the most critical eyes of fashionista personages in The City of Lights. Yes, Paris, he has been there and done that. Paris was his home for over 20 years and he has honed his skill of being a couture designer to several selective Parisienne artist. He had a long time relationship as a couture designer for the renown muse and wife of the late Man Ray. Madame Man Ray known for her avant garde sense of fashion found Anthony's esthetics to be in tune with her own. As did Madame Matisse a well known artist that found her calling after working as Marcel Duchamp assistant for years. His creation of exclusives custom fitting clothing was always evolving, growing, never static, always classic.
 We are fortunate to have his style and statement "of knowing who you are and what you want to say" in the City of Angels, Los Angeles. His new collection is still dramatic but with a touch of  elegant simplicity that covers and exposes your curves in glimmering, alluring fabrics.
Without shouting you say it all "STYLE".

His wonderful collection can be found at AGAVECOUTURE.ETSY.COM
