Tisci's strenght

Summit Conference

On January 25, Anna Wintour and Carine Roitfield met Christian Estrosi, the french Industry Minister. It is said that Carine herself asked for this appointment in order to give her ideas about how to develop and encourage french fashion. Thank Anna, really!! Unfortunately, french people are french... and I don't know if there's anything to do against that!

Here a very interesting report on the meeting.

Galliano fever!

What a wonderful idea!

A long time ago, I heard about philippines prisonners that learned and danced exciting choreographies. The first video I saw was actually really good and I thought it was the most wonderful idea about rehabilitation I had ever heard. It seems I was not the only one as Sony pictures has sent Mickael Jackson choreographer there in order to promote "This is it" DVD. Here what you can read on the youtube official page:

Filipino, Philippines "Dancing Inmates" from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison, were treated to a visit by Michael Jacksons long-time choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid to learn performances from THIS IS IT.

The wait

Wait your turn by Rihanna

Elle sait que l'attente est un cruel supplice,
Qu'il doit souffrir déjà, qu'il faut qu'elle accomplisse
Le serment qu'elle a fait d'être là, vers midi.
Mais, parmi les parfums du boudoir attiédi,
Elle s'est attardée à finir sa toilette.
Et devant le miroir charmé qui la reflète,
Elle s'impatiente à boutonner son gant;
Et rien n'est plus joli que le geste élégant
De la petite main qui travaille; et, mutine,
Elle frappe le sol du bout de sa bottine.
.
François Coppée

I've just watched this film again, it's amazing! Such a beautiful story of passion and I do hope passion is not only for teens. I'm sure you can build things out of passion even when you're a grown-up! If you doubt that, I will prove you;-)!!

Swinging sixties

My mother has just offered me a book about 60's fashion. I think everybody knows it, this is this one . While reading it, I felt as if I was back in the 60's and it's really interesting to see and know what's really behing famous things like Swinging London, Flower Power, Summer of Love. It was such an booming decades for arts, society, moral and culture.

Le retour du rap français by Kery James

Kery James is my favorite french rap artist, his music is always very strong emotionally and his texts are really sincere

visual poetry

I like his creative universe, he is one of my favourite fashion photographer. And I don't like all fashion photographers: for example, I totally dislike Mario Testino's work, according to me, it's too tribal and not creative enough.

Skorpion's performance for the Incroyable Talent TV Show, the french X-factor

This performance is A-MA-ZING, this is a totally new scope for hip-hop, he might have been ranked 2nd by the public vote but for me he is first far beyond the others!

La parade des humbles

Grimaces et miséres: les Saltimbanques by Pélez

A bit disappointed by an exhibition called The humbles' parade at Le Petit Palais in Paris: the name was full of promises and I was expecting to see something really moving about the reality of the artist and bohemian's life. There were some good ideas and sources of inspiration but not the big deal I was expecting... The theme is good but the exhibition should have enriched itself with artpieces from other artists than only Pélez. Fortunately, I paid only half price because I am under 26.

Jay-Z

On to the next one by Jay-Z

That's his new just released video clip

"En acceptant le projet de Sam Brown, Jay-Z ouvre la voix à une nouvelle forme d’expression visuelle qui tranche avec les éternelles recettes éculées du Hip-Hop US.
Fidèle à son travail, Sam Brown livre un clip d’installation alliant des idées visuellement fortes, et un montage efficace. Seul bémol la répétition de plans ne permet pas d ‘éviter au film de créer une certaine lassitude pour un morceau qui dépasse les 4min.
Gregory Escure"
