Flashback to our Milan issue, where we featured the Casa Corbellini-Wasserman by the architect Piero Portaluppi. This week the space reopened as the newest and grandest exhibition space for Massimo De Carlo Gallery (images 4-5). Do not miss it the next time you are in Milan. Renovation by @studiobinocle with consultation by Antonio Citterio Photos by @a_gaut @massimodecarlogallery Viale Lombardia 17, Milan
Our design hero @dhwendygoodman, editor at New York magazine and author of numerous books including her magnum opus MAY I COME IN?, with the Mexico City issue 💙 (Wendy is also wearing our favorite @marcjacobs coat.)
Happy birthday to Louis Kahn, who would have been 118 today. Shown here is his last residential commission, the Korman House from 1973, as photographed by @chrismottalini for the New Jersey issue (along with the Clever House from 1957). And don’t miss @langealexandra’s text on the two houses, “The Tetrahedron and the Prism.” #louiskahn #newjersey #modernarchitecture

The exhibition “Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving”, all about the Mexican artist icon, opens February 8th at the @brooklynmuseum. We are thrilled to feature in the Mexico City a black-and-white portfolio by the photographer Graciela Iturbide of Frida’s bathroom, taken in 2006 when the room was opened for the first time since Frida’s death. An accompanying interview by @madamemallet recounts how Kahlo has been haunting Iterbide since. Copies of the Mexico City issue will be available for sale at the exhibition, along with selected items curated by the AUGUST Team. #fridakahlo #mexicocity #cdmx #augustjournal
From day 1 we always dreamed of being sold at an old-fashioned magazine kiosk in the historic center of an Italian town. Our dream came true with @edicola_518, in downtown Perugia 😍. But Edicola 518 is also online at edicola518.com, so visit them online or IRL at via Sant'Ercolano 42/A in Perugia today!

Tuscany on the Turnpike: The Michael Graves House in Princeton, NJ. Graves started collecting Etruscan and Roman antiquities from the flea market when he was an avowed Modernist and a Fellow at the American Academy in Rome in the 1960s, which piqued his interest in historicism and his eventual conversion to Post Modernism. Read the insightful text by Pilar Viladas @pilarviladas with luminous photos by Chris Mottalini @chrismottalini in the current New Jersey issue, available now on our website, link in bio. #michaelgraves #postmodernism #newjersey @aarpresident

The new exhibition “Tutto Ponti” on our favorite Italian architect and designer Gìo Ponti opens today at Les Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Ponti’s “total work of art” aesthetic permeated all his best buildings, such as the Parco dei Principi Hotel in Sorrento, where he designed everything from the buildings to the furniture, tiles, and flatware (images 1 and 2). In the Milan issue we presented an interview between Salvatore Licitra, Ponti’s grandson and the director of the Ponti Archives, and Vida Nemazee, who commissioned the Villa Nemazee in Tehran, Iran (last Photo). Don’t miss this extraordinary exhibition! Dates: October 19, 2018 to February 10, 2019. All photos courtesy the Ponti Archives @giopontiofficial
