Vince Camuto’s Fairytale Estate and Storybook Collection | Christie's

- In 1984, shoe designer Vince Camuto created his own fairytale by purchasing Chateau Ridge, a neglected estate in Greenwich, Connecticut, and converting it into one of the most eclectic and intelligently curated properties on the East Coast.
Together with architect and designer Anthony Ingrao, Camuto spent five years turning every space at the chateau into a distinct world - from a great hall adorned with fibre-optic stars reflecting the constellation on Camuto’s birthday to a ‘hall of mirrors’ dressing room decorated in gold leaf - and filling its interiors with the finest art and furniture.
According to the late designer’s wife, Louise Camuto, ‘Vince was really interested in telling a story. When you go into the English room, it’s all about 18th-century English [design], and when you go into the living room it’s Italian Renaissance. As you walk throughout the house, each room has a story but they weave perfectly together.’
To assemble the collection, the pair travelled to Paris, Florence, Rome and London, and ‘scoured the auction houses for the best and the finest things that they could find,’ Louise Camuto says. ‘They had sort of kindred spirits.’

Stunning home and equally stunning and charming Louise Camuto....former Miss Sweden.
Well this is the definition of the word WOW.
Rich Americans aspire the old European wealth
The best home I ever seen for the past 50 years. Incredibly beautiful collection all throughout the house is jaw dropping.
What a contrast between urban, inexpensive 9 West shoe stores and THIS. Amazing. What taste Vince had. Who knew,
I just love when a person has individual rooms representing an individual architecture or period!! Fabulous estate! Elegance personified!!!
Utterly exquisite and extraordinary.
From Poverty to Prosperity. This is an absolutely glorious story! Truly a passion project.
Magnificent! Beautifully told as well.
I have always loved Vince Camuto… and own many of his pieces.. it’s no surprise his home is so exquisite and full of details💕💕💕
A true labor of love and the true legacy left behind in this world bless you Louise and R.I.P Vince
Amazing!!! This is a spectacular home.
What a beautiful château! Louise Camuto is very chic and classy
If wearing a gold Rolex was ever classy.
Superb....what can be done when one can stay focused..beautiful in every room and gardens...thank you for sharing..⭐🏤⭐
Thank you thank you for this pleasure!
Joyfully wonderful !
Spectacular!😻
He must of sold a hell of a lot of shoes!
Shoes are not too bad. But why they're made inChina not theUS?
Dear Christie's. With greetings for you.Intetesting is to watch your films. I am happy of your very nice showing everything. Dominique
Wow your home is really stunning love from Scotland
It's as fine as any Chateau in Europe, RIP Vince
some parts are, some are overly pretentious and gaudy.
@@erique_k I appreciate your opinion~ but you obviously do not UNDERSTAND the collection of what you were looking at. It is all Antique art and furniture.
@@marthaross6301 the pieces are all of different periods and regions, it's a big old mess. Very gaudy and nouveau riche, might I add.
@@erique_k I appreciate your viewpoint.
The point of this CURATED COLLECTION was the very reason you don’t like or understand what it is….
Not being mean😉☺️
Just not everyone appreciates FINE ART and REAL ANTIQUES.
Each room was meant to be a “time capsule” that was historically accurate.
And each was~
very successfully.
Nouveau Riche, in how I am interpreting your use~ isn’t appropriate in this, IMO.
He was self made man.
With impeccable taste and an incredible team to help him create his vision.
We all have different tastes…🤷🏼♀️
Enjoy the day
@@erique_k I imagine you would decorate your home with furniture from the same period, style and store?
Absolutely beautiful, as she said some people dream and I can only dream I could live there
Admire his taste. I cannot even imagine what he have thought of his customers who bought his 10 dollar shoes.
Exquisite. ☺☺☺😇😇😇
참 멋찌고 좋은 풍경 들입니다~~
The Things we make happen.....💋💋💋💋
I agree. But in Islam, isn't it all fate?
👉📣 He got his little heaven on earth 😊🤞
Impeccable taste. I hope this doesn't sound rude, it's not meant to, but the sensibility is European, not what I associate with American aesthetics. The beautiful pale blue room with painted wall panels looks just like a replica of a room in the restored Polignac house in Paris.
Beauty
Wow. Your a lucky lady.
The stars✨💫✨
THE RUCH KEEP GETTING RICHER
Hermosa bóveda casi como la celeste
Man, I’d love to be rich and just wander around my beautiful estate and lounge around in some random room smoking incredible weed and eating fancy foie gras flavoured potato chips while looking at one of my extremely valuable antique books…
Yeah - you're not gonna get it being a puff head.
@@stevieg6418 dare to dream, Steve
@@stevieg6418 you'd be surprised who's a puff head.
What is gaudy, Alex.
The best part of the house is the entryway - or whichever door that is Beautiful light, color, and balance of interesting things with room for the eye to rest.
For the rest of the house - I love pattern, and some ornate elements, but when it’s too much, and is uncoordinated, it’s just gaudy. This decor definitely crosses the line into gaudy in places. Too much coverage of the windows - like a morgue.
L O V E !!!
A bit odd for Connecticut
Not with that kind of money - it's just never seen.
This will probably be coming to the Auction. In a sale dedicated to his Estate alone.
That's why this is more than likely on the platform that it is
The Christie's Channel.
A well-respected Auction House worldwide for many years
beautiful, beauty is no longer required these days, perhaps that's why Truth can no longer be tolerated
O-P-U-L-'E-N-T-A Y HERMOSA
Is it for sale?
This is the Christies channel.
So, I’m sure a dedicated Auction will be coming. That’s really the only reason for the walk-through.
For future buyers to see it intact.
Please believe that the video will go out with the catalog to the appropriate Buyers …..
We just got lucky to be able to see it as a bonus 😉
Task 2
I'm sure he had fragrances under his name too.
“Hello fellow hu’Italians”.
He must've sold a lot of shoes and bags to buy this house.
My
Why the gay flag????
