Ménage à Trois - Paris


Presumably after a lot of coitus, Hôtel Amour has given birth. The quirky twenty-room Parisian inn launched last year by a threesome that included André, the single-named mastermind of Le Paris Paris club, and designed by famous friends (Marc Newson, Sophie Calle, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott) has spawned a threesome of its own. Former employees Nathalie Benezet, Tiara Comte, Hélène Cristofani have recently opened a kitschy little boutique called, suitably, Ménage à Trois, selling mostly vintage, but also brands like Tsubi, Ella Moss and Simple, as well as plenty of Argentinian brands Cristofani scooped up on a recent trip. "We wanted to create a cool and cozy place for shopping and hanging out," she tells us. "We have a lot of '50's furniture and we love our original David Hicks '70s rug." That's a lot of shag.
