I love this Marc Jacobs' Spring 2012 collection dress

"Dear all,

The Marc Jacobs PR team is sorry to inform you that our press day tomorrow in the Marc Jacobs store is canceled, due to the theft of the spring/summer 2012 collections during its transfer from Paris."

... said the unfortunate press release.

The latest Benetton ad campaign rocks !

The campaign is called ‘Unhate,’ and features images of world leaders kissing each others - the Russian way. There’s one of Barack Obama with Chinese leader Hu Jintao, France’s Nicolas Sarkozy with German chancellor Angela Merkel, the European tandem, and most controversially, in Rome, an image of the Pope with Egyptian imam Mohamed Ahmed el-Tayeb.

No artist has been named yet but I am sure, I am convinced it's inspired by Dmitry Vrubel, God! Help Me to Survive Amongst This Deathly Love (1991–2000) featured in a show at Haunch of Venison, in London a few years ago.

Well done Benetton ! It rocks !

France: the first mobile Museum dedicated to kids features works by famous artists

Very interesting initiative by former “be contemporary” editor and friend Ingrid Brochard. She’s created a mobile museum which is currently touring France and next year in Africa to make primary schools kids aware of contemporary art. It features some amazing artists such as Mc Carthy, Buren, Huyghe, Moshiri or Weiner...

 Touring museums seem to be quite trendy in France... Remember the mobile Pompidou Centre?

Kate Moss on the cover of Dazed

The December issue of Dazed & Confused boasts 20 different covershots by co-founder Rankin, featuring the likes of Kate Moss, Chloe Sevigny, Eva Green and Alicia Keys. I like Kate's !

Twin Parallel is a film written and directed by Justin Anderson

Twin Parallel is a film written and directed by Justin Anderson showcasing the Jayne Pierson S/S 2011 collection. Premiered at London Fashion Week it features two girls caught in the Twin Parallel- a parallel time shift of the twin paradox theory- with still life, a cuckoo clock and the golden goose girl.

Viktor & Rolf - Fairy Tales

Needless to say that Viktor&Rolf are some of my favourite fashion designers ever. What impresses me the most is the innovative and artistic approach. I've always praised them in the past and invite you to read again my previous post (link here) which was actually shared with them, at the time it was written. They sent me their best regards after reading my comments.

One of the designers' new creative initiative, setting their artistic reputation to another level is their brand-new book called "Fairy Tales". The book features tales of the pampered Princess Giselle in The Golden Dress; of Princess Shanilla in The Fifth Perfume Bottle and of the transformational magic behind Flowerbomb.


The perfect Christmas present and an immersion into the pink and positively weird world of V&R!

Save Keith Haring's mural in Melbourne

While Comme des Garçons releases a capsule collection of Keith Haring's t-shirts, a more serious issue arises in Australia. 

Keith Haring traveled Down Under in 1984 and painted a mural in Collingwood as a gift to the city of Melbourne.
  
The mural is currently in a sorry state and we should all play a part in helping to preserve it ! Please simply sign a petition at Save Melbourne's Keith Haring Mural  website: http://www.savemelbourneharingmural.com.au/help.html

THANK YOU !
