Celebrity Style<br />
Gwyneth Paltrow recently purchased a stunning<br />
$6.37 million Venice-inspired home in Santa Barbara.<br />
<strong>The</strong> home has ocean views and gorgeously groomed<br />
gardens. Set on 466sqm, the estate has four<br />
bedrooms, four bathrooms, 6-metre skylights and<br />
high ceilings. This is a fabulous addition to Gwyneth’s<br />
US property portfolio that includes two other<br />
California properties, a $14 million home in Malibu<br />
and an equestrian estate in Los Angeles.<br />
lalique<br />
René-Jules Lalique founded Lalique more than a century<br />
ago, in 1888. Initially a jewellery designer, he thrived as a<br />
freelancer during the art nouveau movement in Paris. He<br />
opened his first store in 1885, on Place Gaillon, and, by<br />
1890, had expanded to three more shops in Paris. It was<br />
then he started the transition from jewellery to enamel<br />
and glass. After his death in 1945, the company was<br />
passed down to his son Marc, who was to bring Lalique<br />
into the age of crystal, while the fragrance business was<br />
developed later, by his daughter Marie-Claude Lalique.<br />
In 2008, the business was sold to Swiss-owned company<br />
Art and Fragrance, under the management of Silvio Denz.<br />
Through these changes the brand has endured the test of<br />
time and become the ultimate symbol of French luxury.<br />
Our lux pick for this month is the Tourbillons Grand Vase.<br />
the <strong>Star</strong> home and<br />
