CHARLOTTE PERRIAND - PETIT PALAIS -7 APRIL - 18 SEPTEMBER - PARIS - 2011

Charlotte Perriand liked having "the eye range, that is to say, pay attention to all the beings and things, especially the most humble. Her "eye fan" became a regular "photographic eye"to generate images of cutting-edge, self-serving to its highly innovative furniture designs.

That is what the Petit Palais hopes to introduce to the public by deploying pictures and furniture Charlotte Perriand both in the showroom on the ground floor, called Jacqueau Hall, in the halls of the permanent collections in resonance, then with the furniture of the eighteenth century, realist paintings, Greek vases ...


This exhibition is part of the policy of the Petit Palais to give all its rightful place in the art of photography and contribute to the development of French art furniture.

M/M PARIS - GEORGE CONDO - KANYE WEST - SILK SCARVES SERIES - 2011

As you may have heard Kanye West has commissioned George Condo to make paintings that were then used for Kanye West's MBDTF album cover. In total there are five art works; I love them all.

The great news is that, Kanye West has commissioned M/M's Mathias Augustyniak and Michael Amzalag to basically write his name in a style of a frame for the album cover. However, the two artists launched an idea that the same must be turned into silk scarves.

The scarves will measure a square meter in size and will be of a limited edition; 250 in total therefore 50 per each design.

The Festival

Through parallel fashion and photography competitions, the Festival International de Mode et de Photographie à Hyères, directed by Jean-Pierre Blanc since its creation 25 years ago, gathers every year under the spotlight ten young fashion designers and ten young photographers under the patronage of an international jury.

An observatory of trends as well as an international launching pad, the Hyères festival has showcased, more than 300 first-time collections by new fashion designers from all over the world and exhibited the works of over 80 young and innovative photographers. On every edition, the festival presents at the Villa Noailles —the landmark cubist villa built in the 1920’s by Mallet-Stevens — several exhibitions that explore the permeating boundaries between art, photography and fashion.
The Festival’s public increases year after year, attracting designers, industrialists, trendwatchers, agents, buyers, textile federations, distributors, gallerists, museum directors, department stores.
The festival’s aim is to offer young talents a genuine professional opportunity by providing them with material and logistical support, as well as profitable contacts and intensive media exposure.
The general public is invited to vote after the fashion shows for an audience award.
All exhibitions are admission-free and remain open until early June.

MOVIE THE NIGHT PORTER - LILIANA CAVANI - CHARLOTTE RAMPLING - 1974

Dirk Bogarde plays Maximilian Theo Aldorfer, a former Nazi SS officer, and Charlotte Rampling plays Lucia Atherton, a concentration camp survivor who had an ambiguous relationship with Aldorfer. Flashbacks show Max tormenting Lucia, but also acting as her protector. In an iconic scene, Lucia sings a Marlene Dietrich song to the concentration camp guards while wearing pieces of an SS uniform, and Max "rewards" her with the severed head of a male inmate who had been bullying the other inmates, a reference to Salome.
Thirteen years after World War II, Lucia meets Aldorfer again; he is now the night porter at a Vienna hotel. There, they fall back into their sadomasochistic relationship.
