Cloud Wear
In Architecture & Fashion on November 10, 2009 at 22:24Makkoto Tanijiri + Riccardo Tisci
♦
Clouds are divided in two categories -
layered & convective.
They are nothing more than frozen crystals.
And maybe, the concept behind an art pavillion.
Makoto Tanijiri of Suppose Design Office
used 2.5 tons of white unwoven cotton
in order to immitate the feeling
of flying among clouds with[out] an airplane.
Closer than you will ever get
to a real Cirrocumulus or Cirrus cloud,
you would think.
But Riccardo Tisci
with a fluffy, embellished dress
might know another way.

In Voga
In Art & Fashion on November 9, 2009 at 20:371927 – 1932
♣
Lucien Vogel
was the first artistic director of Vogue Paris.
Gathering the Crème de la Crème
of the fine arts’ scene.
The plurality of the talented students
of the École des Beaux-Arts
introduced the minimal, geometric
and abstrait
identity of the French Magazine
to the era of the Modern Movement.
Vogel had been a student of the
École Alsacienne,
eternally inspired by the engravings
of the Journal Des Dames & Des Modes
of the 19th century.
Revealing a world of their own,
the covers of the printed-epitome-of-style
prove one fact. That
Monsieur Condé Montrose Nast
had a vivid still concrete vision.

L’Atelier LeCorbusier
In Architecture on November 7, 2009 at 14:05Between beton,words & brushes
♣
Among shells from Cap – Martin
catalogs from La Samaritaine
nudes of Rupert Caravin &
empty Kodak films
stood an architect by the name of lecorbusier.
While the rest of his appartment
- on the 24 of rue Nungesser & Coli -
functioned under sacred order
his Atelier resembled a chaos.
A creative, nearly lunatic chaos.
The only concrete element
a tall wall made of rocks.
The rock has a voice
It can talk to me through the wall.
Its surface is rough but pleasant & for me this wall
has resumed as a partner for life,
confessed an unknown artist but famous architect
and grabbed a tube of acrylic paint.
