Making of “Ethnic Revival”

March 4, 2012

Last week-end I had an appointement with some magic people to share inner thoughts and visions in a new creative direction. And convey it with their help in a special photo session and an enchanted moment. Here is a glimpse of the backstage. As I could see it, from the designer’s point of view, in between pieces of cloth, jewelry, make-up and hair clips – snatched with my iPhone. Following shortly the pictures by Dan Piersinaru. Make-up artist: Mirela Niculai…

Helmut Newton — the Parisian retrospective

February 25, 2012

Paris got (finally) Newton! And not the minimal version, as more than 200 pictures signed by Helmut Newton, one of the major fashion photographers known for his highly erotic vision of women (and fashion), will be held between 24 March – 17 June at Grand Palais, in Paris. It is the very first retrospective dedicated to the artist (who left us in 2004) as well as the very first big retrospective of the photographer to be held in Paris. All…

Carmen Secareanu — I never did what I wanted to do

February 25, 2012

The first thing I noticed was her smile: a little playful, a little amused. I thought immediatly that I would love to interview her and take her out of that comfort zone. Through a contre-temps, I ended up in her apartment, a totally white space with two touches of black and magnolia – two cats which ensure movement as an extension of her playful thoughts. I am in her comfort zone – that was not my original idea, but it is how it happened….

Who’s next & Pret-a-porter – fuziune reusita?

February 14, 2012

Intre colectiile de moda masculina de toamna, cele de haute couture primavara 2012 si targurile din ce in ce mai complexe, Fashion Week-ul parizian devine din ce in ce mai „maratonian“. Interesata de trendurile sezoanelor toamna-iarna 2013 si vara 2013, am fost la targul Who‘s Next care a anuntat de anul trecut fuzionarea cu Prêt-à-Porter si o structura noua. Obiectiv: o oferta de mai multe targuri personalizate, cu forumuri de tendinte proprii pentru fiecare piata din sectorul modei. Organizatorii doreau…

Adele — rolling for Vogue

February 13, 2012

Adele is back. New figure, new shape, but same stunning voice. Must admit, hearing her songs played everywhere, from cabs in London to each and every corner in France, Spain or Bucharest, even if you adore her at one point it’s a bit too much. As a song use to say “even the good can be a curse”. But Adele’s performance last night at Grammy made me fight for this love. In the day when most people were quite shocked…

Chanel in an air pocket?

January 26, 2012

I was always looking forward to see Chanel’s shows – their universe, imagination and sense of creativity has been inspiring and showing new levels. However, this time I was surprised. Maybe I have a problem with airplanes and airports, this isn’t a concept of luxury or dream for me. But a show of Haute Couture presented in… the Grand Palais in Paris, transformed for the occasion in an interior of a plane ! This is far from the usual Haute…
