Sinonim ‘la fel’

May 15, 2016

De mondenitate m-a ferit Dumnezeu mult timp, dar e posibil să fi început să îmi placă recent, de când sunt pusă în situația de a-i face față. Nu mă refer numai la evenimentele cu panou, normal că nu, that’s so last season, ci vorbesc exact despre adevărata mondenitate, aia underground, aia altfel. Un astfel de eveniment recent m-a condus spre un fapt lexical pe care îl suspectam de ceva timp ca fiind adevărat. După ce termini Litere, toată lumea îți…

En visite chez Susanna Hall, la fille de Shakespeare

May 8, 2016

Oui, il fait beau et ensoleillé dans le pays de Shakespeare. J’en ai marre des mauvaises langues qui, en regardant de la France, prétendent qu’il pleut en permanence de l’autre côté de la Manche, qu’il fait systématiquement plus froid et que la nourriture traditionnelle est insipide ! Je fête mon anniversaire par un petit voyage dans le sud-ouest de Londres. Ce soir je suis à Kingston, une ville universitaire (oui, même si elle n’est pas loin de Cambridge), inclue depuis…

Paris in 7 songs

May 5, 2016

We’re always subjective at music and certain songs and it is funny how important music can be to remember things in our life. I’ve always been curious on how certain parts of your life can be told in a few songs. Music is a sonor blueprint, fluid and “noisy” memory: holidays, falling in love, childhood, high school time, just name it. Today is one of those very grey and rainy days, so typical parisian, so I thought of 7 songs…

MET gala 2016 – the tech white tie theme

May 2, 2016

As I see it, this theme was trouble for most of the guests – and fashion houses involved. You can’t simply ask Valentino or Chanel “Please, a sexy-something-I-can-look-dashing-but-tech-enough-for-Wintour”. And you should use all humour you have to be original and nail it. I must admit, for me it was that kind of “take a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the show” where one’s personality will make the difference and justify the outfit. The criteria of the selection is very simple:…

Movies – 6 underrated films a true cinema fan must see

May 2, 2016

After I’ve seen Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan and thought that the only thing I liked about it was Rodarte’s sisters costumes, I decided not to not trust IMDB’s rating ever again regarding good movies – this movie had 8/10 points! It is maybe a question of personal taste, but I felt caught in a male fantasy with all the possible and predictable clichées about women which gave little room to a truly inspired scenario. About the same time, I had a chat…

J-Tex – ora lecției de japoneză

April 30, 2016

La un eveniment japonez, știi că te așteaptă un moment într-o nouă dimensiune care depășește cea mai fertilă imaginație. În domeniul textil japonezii reușesc să folosească ca nimeni altul o tehnologie impresionantă pentru nevoile unui meșteșug tradițional. In aceasta stare de spirit când am primit invitația la showroom-ul J-Tex organizat într-un imobil modern lângă Place de la Madeleine, la Paris. Am descoperit un grup de țesători japonezi cu produse excepționale preocupați de ecologie, dar și un adevărat model de business….

Este disponibilă versiunea buyer sau designer 2.0 de 2016?

April 20, 2016

În momentul anunțării lui Justin O’Shea pe postul creative director la Brioni, mi-a stat ceasul. Sau mai bine zis, ditamai pendula de perete. Cum poți, ca unul dintre brandurile masculine de referință de prêt a porter de lux, care lucrează cu cei mai buni profesioniști pe piața italiană să angajezi pe un post de creație un profil care nu are nicio experiență în design sau creație? Justin O’Shea, un star al street style-ului la toate Fashion Week-urile, este un selfmade man…

Saint Laurent spring cleaning

April 7, 2016

While looking at Saint Laurent this morning on Instagram, the only thing I could see was a clean and minimalistic account. I was quite surprised and wonder what kind of communication strategy of the brand this is – there is no trace of Hedi Slimane or his work. And as what doesn’t exist on media, doesn’t exist in real life, I felt like in those movies where the past is clinically erased to forever change a story. Quite disturbing for…

Good Night, Zaha Hadid…

March 31, 2016

Instead of a song or remembering images with Zaha Hadid’s creations, today I imagined a conversation with THE very architect. Some years ago I tried to schedule an interview with her for a fashion magazine, but after 9 months I gave up in front of her always changing assistants and a very, very intense planning.  Of course today I do regret. I should have insisted in finding a solution to meet her. It might have been like this, my imagined…
