agyness deyn in “Mean To Me”: a film by McDermott & McGough

beautiful stills of agyness deyn in a film by mcdermott & mcgough


“mean to me” is the the first scripted film by mcdermott & mcgough. the film stars actor linus roache and agyness deyn in her acting debut. the 13 min art film was sponsored by guerlain and mikimoto, and the stylized 1930s era pieces were courtesy of zac posen who selected gowns from his archive. it’s quite a beautiful piece, and agyness is not only gorgeous in it, but rather impressive in her delivery and acting. that is not necessarily the case with linus roache, who almost looks the part but not quite. like tom fords film, “mean to me” is more of a visual feast than a “film” but for sure worth the time. a great first film, and impressive for a film that is so fashion based.

the film will be shown at galerie jerome de noirmont in paris from june 2nd through july 3rd. the film will also be screened at the centres pomidou during their film festival series september 24th through 26th 2010. by uh

Remember Now: a short film by Karl Lagerfeld

well, not everyone can be tom ford. from one icon to another tom ford may need to help mr. lagerfeld with his plot. the symbolism, imagery, and lifestyle portrayed in this short for chanel cruise collection 2010/11 is remarkable. the clothes are to die for, as you can expect nothing less from chanel, and we are not doubting karl lagerfeld’s one of a kind vision, which oozes through this short.  however, the acting is, well…. lets just say that trying to add a slash to your resume doesn’t always work out for everyone. by nh

masao yamamoto




i went through an old issue of the great photography magazine “foam” and reminded how beautiful is the work of japanese photographer masao yamamoto. i actually own a book of his work but the other contributors of this blog keep an hand on it… more here

“masao yamamotois a japanese photographer who creates images that are essentially vignettes of nature and the human intersection with it, ruminating over the passage of time and memory. yamamoto has had solo as well as group exhibitions in europe and the united states. his work evinces a talent for combining virtuosity as a photographer with the fresh gaze of a child.”

carlo mollino – plaroids



this story is as nice as the pictures. when designer carlo mollino died, his executors found in a wall of his studio, few thousands polaroids of mostly naked girls (i only show very decent ones here otherwise mister google or kl won’t be happy, but feel free to check further, petits cochons…). he started to take those pictures in the 60’s and did it until he died. the models were random turin’s women. there is a charming aspect in the fact he did it for himself, not thinking it would ever be displayed. most of the time, pics were staged in his apartment against backdrops and around furnitures he had design. and when checking actual images of the place, you can recognize the tiles or curtains from the polaroids, nice! by pp’

alexander mcqueen eyewear – mauvais gout


flipped through the latest issue of “V” fashion mag and saw the mcqueen eyewear ad above. i don’t know if that was planned, if that is supposed to be funny or ironic or anything but that seems a little “mauvais gout” to me. so, one can say, yeah but the skull was part of the whole idea, still it’s a little off. by pp’

Puma: clever little bag by designer Yves behar

Richard Meier: the Rachofsky house-Dallas Texas

“a visit to the rachofsky house unfolds as a kind of procession through a series of zones, taking one from the outdoors to indoors, and then back outdoors again. all of the spaces of the house, works of contemporary art, and vignettes of the surrounding landscape combine to animate the interiors of the house. grass, trees, pond and sky are visible from every angle of the house.

the heart of the house is the second floor living room. secrets of the entire site are revealed through the double-height plane of windows that serve as a permeable membrane between nature and home. whereas the front façade of the house is reserved and opaque, the back façade dissolves and allows constantly changing plays of light and silhouette to amaze people within and outside the house. ultimately, the purpose of the rachofsky house is to provide a place of residence and respite. the potential of the house as a work of architecture is as a catalyst for further contemplation of nature and art, and the science of bringing them together in harmony.” richard meier by dd

“best part of the decade”

when she’s not styling a.p.c campaigns, or flashing her tits to mr zahm or stabbing jarvis’ heart, stylist camille bidault is making lovely pictures. her first story was published on the web version of another mag. although i’m generally tired of those crossing over various carriers, actors singing, models acting and so on, i must admit that there is something really fresh and appealing in miss bidault’s photographs. hopefully there will be more to come! by pp’
