Emilio Terry is one of those talents that set stylemongers’ antennae aquiver. The Havana-born, Paris-bred architect and designer (1890–1969) took France by storm in the 1930s with his daring, neo-Romantic, and often Surrealistic interpretations of 18th-century neoclassicism. I once stayed at a 1950s Terry country house that took the form of a giant broken pediment; Terry’s extravagant follies for Carlos de Beistegui’s Château de Groussay estate are renowned, and his furnishings, from chairs to carpets, were invariably fantastical. So when a Terry project hits the radar, the fashionable world takes notice.

On September 15, Christie’s Paris is selling the contents of a rue de Presbourg mansion that Terry renovated and decorated in the mid-1960s. None of the offerings are known to have been designed by Terry, but the collective chic is clearly his, from a Louis XVI bureau plat by Philippe-Claude Montigny (estimated at $337,978–$563,297) to an Egyptian-influenced Louis XVI mantel clock ($78,862–$112,659).

The star of the sale is a copy of Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s 1872 tinted-plaster ecstatic sculpture Génie de la Danse, estimated to bring in as much as $1.12 million. Terry selected it to be the centerpiece of the mansion’s entrance vestibule (shown above), which he encircled with horizontally scored plaster walls. The hypnotic incisions, giving the space a memorable sense of motion and monumentality, were inspired by Terry’s visit to a National Library of France exhibition in 1965, about the wildly inventive work of 18th-century architects Claude Nicolas Ledoux and Étienne-Louis Boullée.

I stay on your foot they don’t slip in your shoe

This is the only socks I wear Under Armour because they stay in place I wear a size 8, but they’re more comfortable with a large instead of a medium, but I wear both because I have them already and you can pull them to stretch them out a little bit

Great fit, truly doesn’t slide off heel

I’ve scoured all the lands looking for a no-show sock that was 1) thin, 2) quality, soft, breathable material, 3) didn’t dig into my feet/heels, 4) doesn’t shrink, and most importantly 5) stays on the back of my heel without a bulky non-slip rubber piece and these check all the boxes! Perfect for low profile women’s work shoes like Keds, etc. Not low enough for most flats though. I wear a women’s size 9.

So good - I’m buying MORE.
Number of Items: 3, Color: White (3-pairs), Size: Medium
I’m gonna give you more detail than you need about why I’m buying these socks again. I’ve been the mom of girl athletes. I’ve been a model and a fashion director. I’ve worn every brand of shoe on the planet and never found a shoe that did NOT find a vulnerable spot on my foot to rub raw. Even my beloved white Jack Purcell sneakers. With that said - I don’t like socks. I’ve bought a TON of them in 35+ years.....all major brands. They shift. They lose their shape. They get holes in them and wear out too fast. Not these. I retired this year, and knowing I’d be in sneakers a lot, traveling, sightseeing ...... I bought these 6 months ago and have worn them constantly. I’ve traveled with them. I’ve washed them in hot water and bleach. The socks are like brand new. They are exactly the right cut so as not to be seen in a basic sneaker. The little silicone patch on the heel stays put. Not once have I had to dig down into my shoe and pull the sock back up. The socks have stayed soft and EXACTLY the same as the day they were new. Like I said - I am back to buy them again. Great quality!
