Soooo excited to see this movie tonight, co-produced by the great Tilda Swinton and Italian director Luca Guadagnino, I think they are planning to work on more project together ...this seems to be a wonderful story about an italian clan struggling with family feuds for power and forbidden love!She looks straight out of a Hitchcock movie I think he would have loved her!
so Grace Kelly ( and do I spot a Kelly bag?)

Bien avant Alexander Mc Queen et Isabella Blow, Vivienne Westwood et Malcom Mc Laren avaient su reprendre les codes des valeurs anglaises et les recracher pour en créer de nouveaux qui ont redéssinés la culture anglaise moderne.
Vivienne et Malcom
C'est grace à eux entre autres que ce pays continue de fasciner , le hasard fait que j'habite aujourd'hui le quartier qui a vu grandir Malcom Mc Laren , une enfance étrange élévé par une grand mére fantasque qui détestait sa fille qui pourtant vivait au coin de la meme rue.Sous le pont de Camden Lock le cortège funéraire est passé tiré par des chevaux pour l'emmener au cimetière de Highgate, quelques punks étaient présents parmi Vivienne Westwood, des musiciens des Sex Pistols, Tracey Emin...Aujourd'hui il reste Vivienne qui n'a rien perdu de sa créativité et leurs fils Ben (beau fils de Malcom)Westwood photographe et Joe Corre le fondateur d'Agent Provocateur (lingerie)...la relève est assuré pour cette dynastie si britannique puisqu'apres avoir fait fortune en vendant sa compagnie tout en en gardant le controle artistique Joe semble avoir de nombreux projets dont une organisation caritative qui procure une aide légale aux prisonniers de Gantanamo.
Ben and JOE

Depuis que j'ai aménagé à Londres j'ai trop de mal à trouver des marques qui me conviennent,je me rends compte que mes gouts sont trés français.Alors les Top Shop, Asos, Urban outfitters etc j'y vais mais c'est pas non plus le grand amour ou alors j'attends les soldes de Liberty.
Je sais qu'en France les filles sont folles de ces marques made in Uk mais moi j'ai un probléme avec la qualité des matiéres et finitions, du coup heureusement il y a ebay; le vintage en général et comptoir des cotonniers, bref!
Un jour j'ai découvert Whistles , marque vieillotte mais qui était en plein repositionnement , ils ont commencé avec beaucoup de tea dress dans l'esprit de celles que Milla Jovovitch portait, des robes et blouses trés inspirées par des coupes vintage dans de jolies imprimés fleurs rétro là j 'ai commencé à m habiller chez eux.
La saison d'apres une collection un peu plus rock mais toujours de jolies robes et des imprimés plus graphiques la marque avait été reprise en main par Jane Sheperdson une ex grand ponte de Top Shop, beaucoup de parutions presse ont suivi.
Ils font aussi des collaborations avec de jeunes designers/marques plus ou moins connus, les bijoux Jacey Withers (photo)dont je suis fan et Roksanda Ilincik et meme Sessun cette saison (des chaussures).
Pourtant cet hiver je n'ai rien acheté trop sombre,des coupes qui ne sont jolies que sur les grandes minces des looks books mais...mais par contre je trouve que la collection de l' été prochain est trés réussie j'ai eu le mailing dans ma boite email ce matin et vraiment je trouve qu'ils ont les coupes dont on va vraiment avoir envie, facile à porter mais pointu quand meme, et la bonne nouvelle c'est qu'ils livrent en Europe maintenant !
voilà ma favorite!!!

This morning I received the link for Charlotte Gainsbourg's "Heaven can wait", and I really think this album is the best she has ever done,her voice is much more confident .The girl is really lucky ,on the last album I remember reading that she tried to write her own words but she could not do it so she rang Jarvis Cocker and asked for some help !
You think right anyone could do well in these terms but the truth is there is something special,the charm I guess of those genes.Like her mother maybe she is the perfect muse , the movies she made with Yvan Attal are among my favourites and here with Beck they have created something really unique,made to measure,so the charm is working more than ever!The video of "Heaven can wait" is really perfect as well ...Beck seems to be the perfect choice .I can't wait to discover the CD .
Lethal combination of strength and fragility
It is also nice for a change to see someone who seems humble, soft spoken and at the same time very confident and adventurous in her artistic choices to have such a following, so even though she can be irritating in the way that her family opened so many doors and made her an icon from day 1,she was brave enough to take the time to become her own person and explore many sides of her personality.
I am sold.

Last week I was in Paris for 3 days for work but I had to try to catch a glimpse at the JEU DE PAUME PLANETE PARR EXHIBIT, but I only had 20 mn to do it. last time I saw Parr s work was the Mexico exhibit
in gallerie Kamel Mennour,a very different scale this time in the jeu de paume.
Parr is a very avid collectionneur of photography, postcards and objects as he admits himself collecting is a drug ,so from OBAMA souvenir flip flops to spice girl keyrings,to less innocent terrorist body bags after the 9/11 th it describes our society in a very kitsch way.
CHRIS KILLP PIC ABOVE
What I like most is the way I feel he looks at everyone with a very kind eye even if cruel sometimes I feel he still likes humanity despite everything .He is showing us what we are like parading animals in a zoo.
I discovered many interesting photographers there thanks to him and of course as on planete parr they all have a link with his work I think it seemed like they all belonged to the same family and if you like PARR chances are you will also like his collection because it is really telling the same tale over and over, the very real world of the working class and the sureeal world of the superich living on parallel dimension ,it also comes at a very interesting moment.
MARTIN PARR LUXURY THEME
I can t help but wonder if he is collectable by these people if they actually buy his art as investment it would be fun wouldn t it !
My little jacket has arrived safely...it is way too hot to wear it but as everybody else I can t wait for the autumn season to wear my new finds!>>>
worn with la redoute linen shirt, gap jeans found on ebay for 4 pounds and Dune shoes and jerome dreyfuss old LOUIS bag,old peacock earrings...I can t help but love coordinating my shoes and bag sometimes I blame my education....I m old school
when reading VOGUE I saw that velvet is making a come back just as well I bought this comptoir des cotonniers top last year then...VERY 20 S shape >>>
Just around the corner from our house we have discovered a lovely museum....
The Estorik collection showcases modern italian art, it has 3 lovely Modiglianis, it was a private collection turned into a museum.
On the ground floor you can find exhibitions of italian architecture ,but these days they are presenting a MISSONI workshop/exhibition curated by Luca Missoni.He will come for a conference on 12th of september.
However today we just wanted to enjoy the shade of the garden while sipping lovely expressos and tasty cakes.
