French fashion designer @alexismabille grew up in a creative family of architects, painters, and musicians, so it comes as no surprise that he lives in an apartment full of art, flea market finds, and furniture he designed himself. Located in the trendy 9th arrondissement of Paris, the light-filled, late-19th-century Directoire-style (post-Revolution) apartment took Mabille, who is the creative director of an eponymous clothing label, about six months to completely renovate. He worked closely with architect friends @humbertetpoyet to draw inspiration from the plans and the original intentions for the apartment. “I grew up with a love for pretty things and was always in the attic finding an old chair or something like that,” he says. “I think if I wasn’t a fashion designer, I would be an interior decorator.” Mabille currently has plans to launch a small series of furniture pieces based on his antique tapestry covered sofas. And he is also working on a few outside decorating projects, including a new Belle Époque–inspired restaurant-club, Froufrou, housed at the Edouard VII theater in Paris’s 9th arrondissement. When nudged a bit more about his future endeavors, Mabille smiles and says, “Why not furniture like haute couture?” In the master bedroom, books are interspersed with drawings and collages by various artists while the drawing on the floor is a study for a carpet by Paul Poiret. The bedside appliques are from Charlotte Perriand’s studio and the little table is by Stilnovo. Take a tour of the apartment through the link in our profile.
