PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATRINA WITTKAMP (IKRAM); JASON LITTLE (CANDLES) Waxing Stylish LIGHT UP YOUR HOME WITH SLEEK, ARTISANMADE ITALIAN CANDLES FROM DEBER. BY IKRAM GOLDMAN "I discovered Deber candles in Italy a couple of years ago, when I was doing shows there during Fashion Week. They're classic- looking shapes; there's a teardrop shape, which is really beautiful and has been our most suc- cessful, as well as a cylinder and short, medium, and tall pillars. So you could put three of them together, or just one, and they look great. They look like lacquer, and when the candle melts, it melts straight through, so you could actually put another candle inside of the melted candle, or use it as a vase because the lacquer is pre- served. They're not scented—it's not that kind of frilly candle, it's more visual and beautiful— and they're great for a table, especially if you're having people for dinner and don't want the aroma of a candle to overwhelm the room. They literally have every color, so what I've done is pick a selection of different colors every season— all bright colors or matte colors or shimmery colors—whatever makes sense for the moment to go with what's happening in fashion. Some of the colors we have for spring are deep blue and teal blue; a neon green; a deep, cherry red; and a lilac purple. They're the best gift; a lot of people buy them for gifts and end up buying one for them- selves, too. We've been carrying them since we opened up our home section, and they f ly out the door."
