well i must say this letter of sorts romanced the hell out of me. and that is the key to any object… romance. looking forward to seeing the collection tonight at phillips de pury… once again rather genius to have it unveiled at phillips auction house vs. the usual venues. well done. by dd
great track by swede-pop artist jonathan johansson. directed by simeon frohm, and shot on location in stockholm, lisbon, paris, barcelona, rome and pamplona. roughly translates into “one hand in heaven/the sky”. now it would have been cool if they played this last night when we were intoxicated off our feet. by dd

you missed out on a true new york evening. after multiple drinks at the bowery hotel we landed at avenue. i was warned about the place, but i never envisioned a place where bottles of crystal arrived with waitresses holding fireworks! beyond imagination. it was like the end of time. i was waiting for jesus to descend and put us all out of our miseries especially the fireworks… yet right there, next to us, was ms. kirsten dunst sitting on my fuckin’ jacket and vincent gallo at the bar (not ordering belvedere)! never before had i seen such a mix of dorksters and hipsters in one place. what is this world coming to? by uh
for those who read french, i might suggest this really beautiful blog. it’s called “les valeureux” which means the braves and it’s the meeting of a talented photographer and a talented writer. so one provide a picture and the other one writes a little text about it. there is a new one every day and it’s really powerfull. for those who can’t read french, just have a look at the pictures, that worth it whatever.
“La voix de Lou Reed me shootait un peu plus de minute en minute ; j’oubliai le froid, la solitude de cette ville désertée par la Semaine Sainte, cette question qui montait : « qu’est-ce que je fous là ? ». La lumière avait la liquidité opaque qu’a parfois l’East River au niveau du pont de Williamsburg : longues traînées jaunes sur une eau d’un violet sourd. Derrière : la ville, étonnamment calme depuis Brooklyn. (…)” by pp

today the selby posted pics from the xavier veilhan show in versailles. the images really render the strange atmosphere of the exhibition, as well as the chateau, a lot more accurately than anything I could have done. and as it’s one of my favorite shows to go up for a very long time, i think this really completes our previous post. enjoy by pp
french fashion designer vanessa bruno presents a wonderful movie to illustrate her new collection. it features lou doillon and is really consistent with the “no mistake” universe of the designer, from the cloths to the unconventional campaigns shot by mark borthwick to this movie. really nice. bien joué! by pp
