When I posted photographs of designer
Norma Kamali's apartment, a reader asked what kind of finish I thought the ceiling might have, commenting that she loves leopard and metallics. And, while I can't be sure about the ceiling in Kamali's living space, I am
most certain regarding my feelings on the marriage of leopard and metallic (and metallic ceilings): YES. YES. YES. I'd venture to say they look better together than Jennifer A. and Brad Pitt in their prime, and surely, more stable a match too.
Actually, I'll lump tortoise right in there with leopard, and wood inlay as well. They're so sumptuous against a nice, grungy old metallic. My metallics sure
get around, don't they?
