"James Galanos's Hollywood Haven\nThe couturier's glamorous frocks are a whirl of sumptuous hues, but his Hollywood home celebrates the somber beauty of black\nFashion designer James Galanos in the library of his Hollywood residence, which was decorated by Philippe B. Oates.\nA reproduction bronze statue in the entrance hall.\nPoised on the polished-granite floor of the drawing room are some of Galanos's prized possessions: Louis XV\u2013style fauteuils \u00E0 la reine upholstered in striped satin, and a second-century B.C. Hellenistic torso; the painting is by Emerson Woelffer.\nPaintings in the manner of 18th-century Venetian artist Francesco Guardi hang above an antique painted lit de repos upholstered in a Scalamandr\u00E9 silk taffeta.\nAn intimate corner becomes grand, thanks to its mirrored walls and ceiling.\nPale-oak boiserie panels the walls of the powder room; the jade-green vases are Chinese.\nGalanos's bedroom resembles an elegant sitting room, with a center table on gilt-wood griffin legs complementing a custom-made daybed positioned in a niche; partly obscured by the ceramic vase is Edouard Vuillard's Le Salon des Hessel, Rue de Rivoli.\nDramatically veined black marble, both real and trompe l'oeil, animates the master bath, whose darkness is leavened by wood accents."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
