Rei Of Inspiration

"...My work has never been as an artist. I have only continued all these years to try to 'make a business with creation.' This has been my first and one and only decision of any importance. The decision to first of all think of creating something that didn’t exist before, and then after that to give the creation form and expression in a way that can be made into a business. I cannot separate being a designer from being a businesswoman. It’s one and the same thing for me..."

Alternatives

My amazing sister has this incredible gift to help people balance their internal lives which are constantly impacted by external factors and forces. She provides this healing through a catered practice of homeopathy and holistic medicine. I too have been leery and skeptical, but it really works - especially when an over-the-counter pill just doesn't provide the necessary remedy. Her site is as beautiful as she is and the artwork is provided by my talented mother. Visit her site, take a chance and find a solution to what has been ailing you.

"Travel is an inherently fascinating subject because it’s so personal,« says Bottega Veneta Creative Director Tomas Maier. »We all travel, but each of us brings intensely individual hopes and concerns to the experience. When the idea of making a film came up, I wanted to show not just the practical side of travel—the luggage, the eye mask—but also what is surreal, romantic, and potentially transformative about a voyage. I like that Christian’s work is simultaneously precise and mysterious. He has managed to convey what is shared while leaving room for each of us to project our own imaginations onto the story."
