The Senior Cool Hunter ‘s beauty hair tips 1
As a student, I used to wear very long hair. My hair is straight, but fine – you know the type when the number of hair is ok, but they are so fine that no hairdresser can make a single lock last for more than 10 minutes. I was a little worried because, if I was very proud of it, in my family nobody had strong, healthy hair. Father (and later my brother) lost most of it before the age…
Continue readingDaniel Henry: ” Țesătura mă interesa mai mult decât forma”
Nu știe prea bine să-și definească meseria și se află cu mulți pași înaintea industriei într-un domeniu care caută un lifting: materialele și țesăturile. Să-l numim cercetător textil, cu toate că în română sună mai degrabă a inginerie decât a creație. Poate alchimist ar suna mai just. Numele lui Daniel Henry mi-a devenit cunoscut anul trecut la Première Vision. În zona dedicată meseriilor de artă și lux m-a atras un stand minimalist plin de țesături neobișnuite și foarte vizuale, așezate…

I grew up in jeans. I lived in them and at almost 70 years of age I proudly say it. I always tried to keep them for as long as possible. I know quality is something you take care of if you want it to last. Therefore, here are some ideas on how to use your jeans best. Certainly each of you may know a part of these advices, but as I probably know more, I probably am the best….
Continue readingKarl Lagerfeld, Visual Journey – Pinacothèque de Paris
So far, Karl Lagerfeld, 81, was and is a huge inspirational character for me and certainly for many others. Ageless, the designer of 17 collections per year absorbs trends, styles and “l’air du temps” in a very personal way, over stepping fashion, standards or the simple idea of hype. Highly spirited, mischievous and hard working, Lagerfeld-the man has a great sense of humour and dialogue who’s keeping him as effervescent as a vitamin C. Eccentric seems a word created for…

Continue readingKorea Now ! Fashion, design and crafts, an unexpected journey
The exhibition held at the Paris’s Museum of Decorative Arts was an amazing experience, both visual and creative. As 2015 is the year of French-Korean cultural partnership, this event celebrating South Korea was highly expected and I must say, I was far from imagining such beauty. As a true game changer in fashion and design, the exhibition showed also how traditional crafts adapt to modern ideas and global demands. With a non-chronological structure, the central idea is build around the…
Continue readingThe Senior Cool Hunter’s silverware trick
Dear all, Starting today, I’m happy to share some useful advices with you. Here one about how to clean silver and jewels (NOT if they have amber, pearl or coral, only silver and gold jewelry with mineral stones). I knew since long that baking soda (soda bicarbonat) is very useful in many different ways : to heal mouth ulcers, to brush teeth, to replace the ready prepared baking powder (by blanding soda bicarbonat with lemon juice), etc. But the miracle…
Continue readingSous le ciel d’automne
When I saw the sky today, at this precise moment, I was stunned. And tried all rational explanations you-know-this-is-about-the-light-and-angle before getting to darling-just-enjoy-it. This looked so much more like a FX rather than a natural thing, that I decided it deserved a post on Code Noir Style. And tried more than 10 minutes to get the impressive feeling while having something like this above your head. In vain.

Yesterday was the opening of Scorsese’s exhibition and retrospective in Paris, after Berlin, Turin and Geneva. Stars, celebrities and a lot of enthusiasm and love for the american director who came just for the french premiere, declaring “Finally I feel home”. And it wasn’t cheesy PR.
