MOVIE SUPER - JAMES GUNN - 2011
With the recent onslaught of superhero send-ups, it seems as though this premise has become somewhat of a genre unto itself. No stranger to rebel filmmaking, James Gunn cut his teeth writing for Troma before making his directing debut with 2006’s Slither. In a similar vein, his follow-up feature combines absurd humour with balls-out violence to create something that is both unashamed and inimitable. But this time Gunn adds a new ingredient, one that is dark, dramatic and subversive to the core.
When sad sack Frank D’Arbo (Rainn Wilson) sees his ex-addict wife (Liv Tyler) willingly snatched by a seductive drug dealer (Kevin Bacon), he finds himself unable to cope. But when the finger of God blesses his brain (don’t ask), D’Arbo decides to fight back under the guise of a DIY superhero called Crimson Bolt. In order to get his wife back, he must first fight his way up the criminal ranks, and he begins by taking a monkey wrench to the foreheads of a couple who cut in line at the movies. As Crimson Bolt begins to make the headlines, a young woman from the local comic book store (Ellen Page) joins in on the fun as his sexually charged sidekick, Boltie.
The cast is dead-on, with Wilson making the heroic leap to leading man status. Page and Bacon are equally impressive and self-effacing in their supporting roles; both say and do things you could never imagine and we could never print. Rounding out the cast are appearances from longtime genre icons Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Michael Rooker (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer) and Troma’s own Lloyd Kaufman.
While Crimson Bolt bears likeness to the Watchmen, Defendor and Kick-Ass, James Gunn has created what is perhaps the definitive take on self-reflexive superheroes. If this outlandish dark comedy is not the zenith of its breed, God help us from what’s to come. Whether you’re new to the graphic novel game or a seasoned fanboy, you will find SUPER to live up to its name. –TIFF

60 VISIONAIRE SIXTY RELIGION - GUEST EDITED BY RICARDO TISCI - GIVENCHY - JUNE 2011
We are pleased to announce the release of VISIONAIRE SIXTY RELIGION, Guest Edited by Riccardo Tisci in collaboration with Givenchy. “Visionaire Sixty Religion was a truly important moment of reflection for me,” Riccardo says. “Made, in my mind, by some of the most important creative forces of our moment and some of the people I love the most, this collection of work celebrates religion, inner truths, inner dialogues, moments which words cannot quantify.”
Stephen Gan, Cecilia Dean, and James Kaliardos felt that the collaboration was a particularly invigorating one: “Working together with Riccardo and experiencing his process reminded us of the energy and charge we felt when we first conceived of Visionaire, and why we continue to create a publication that is evolving, experimenting, and transforming.”
RELIGION is Tisci’s meditation on the theme of “religion” as depicted by photos and art commissioned and curated by Tisci specially for this issue. Images are featured in black and white with gold pages. Independent of any divination, the issue’s theme draws inspiration from “religion” as a synonym for obsession, ritual, worship, apparition, and the celebration of humanity.
Visionaire Sixty Religion comes as a leather-wrapped 228-page hard- bound book. Inspired by a church altar piece, the case’s split doors open to reveal the black-on-black stamped book cover inside a black plexiglass lined interior. Contributors to Visionaire 60 include Marina Abramovic, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Lara Stone, Paolo Canevari, Franca Sozzani, Karl Lagerfeld, Carine Roitfeld, Berlinde de Bruyckere, Mario Testino, Jefferson Hack, Patti Smith, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Nick Knight, Katy England, Kate Moss, Yann Vasnier, and many many more.
The limited edition offering will be on sale June 2011. For more information, stay tuned to

LANVIN - FALL 2011 - PARIS
An inordinate number of the Autumn/Winter 2011 Parisian collections seem dedicated to the indecipherable, indelible and iconic idea of French chic. That is, of course, Alber Elbaz's leitmotif at Lanvin - although his is a chic without the stuffing, raw-seamed and pre-washed. A chic with some edge, indeed.
A few Strange Hours ago in Paris, Christian Dior by Simon Procter
"The Strangest atmosphere, all was sadness and ghosts. John Gallianos last collection for Christian Dior with no John Galliano.
The House did an impressive job of guarding decorum but the Musee Rodin was filled with a hyper intense crowd of people either saying too much or not a thing. Meanwhile outside the great wooden gates an ugly mob had gathered heavily armed with iphones."

Galliano Waiting by Simon Procter
I shot this backstage three seconds before the Haute Couture show started in spring 2006.
I was watching him for a while and this was the one moment when the mask dropped and for just an instant you saw the terrible weight of it all.
Im getting ready to head out to the Christian Dior show at the musee Rodin, Gallianos' last show with the house of Christian Dior, some say his last show ever This whole affair makes me really sad, something within it is deeply wrong.
