Some sun at the Space

thespaceThe Space is the secret too well kept on the left bank. This shop, the brainchild of designer Tallulah Rufus Isaacs and curator Julia Van Hagen, attracts fashion fans and / or contemporary art, because you can both find the last pieces of a fashion in vogue, as jewelry or travel brought works by new artists. But let’s talk a little sunshine and holidays! Recently, the store hosts a new brand of swimwear and chic eco: LUZ. Its creative, Virginia and Claire Courtin Mougenot, met at EDHEC school. They live on two different continents, and their seasons are reversed: they therefore wanted to work on a timeless product. Their style? Pastel colors, an attractive design, a spirit “basic Revisited” and especially organic cotton.

But this unusual decor (lamps shaped skulls, walls with abstract designs, vaulted cellar, etc ), this retro and electro-pop music that are reserved only a small fifty people every night as Montana, unlike the U.S. state of the same name, it’s tiny. Like most select clubs in the capital
