The Tony Duquette-designed showroom at Adrian’s salon, 233 North Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills, circa 1940sWhen MGM’s lead costume designer, Adrian (last name: Greenberg) left the studio in 1941, he opened his own salon. Smartly, he chose to relocate to Beverly Hills and took over the building that had formally housed the Victor Hugo restaurant at 233 North Beverly Drive, which had been an upscale eatery, very popular with the Hollywood set. When he asked artist Tony Duquette to design his showroom, he told Duquette to come up with whatever he wanted. This photo shows the result. I can’t decide if it’s fabulous or over the top. What do you think?

    I am a big fan of both Adrain and Tony Duquette decor!
    It is sad that no one in our culture is trying to recreate these gorgeous and fabulous designs.
    I just enjoy looking at all the sensational details.
    Both where such originals!
