I’m having an amazing time in Mexico but I still can’t help thinking about planning another trip to Paris this spring. I was especially inspired after seeing the Paris home of the late Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani. Architectural Digest photographed the home shortly before her passing and her son, Francesco Carrozzini, encouraged them to publish the story as a tribute to her passion for architecture. She actually states in the article that if she hadn’t gone into fashion, she would have gone into real estate or architecture. She worked with Massimiliano Locatelli on the townhouse but she designated every detail even the location of every light switch and outlet. It’s so sad that such a talented woman left us way too soon.
