paris
quote of the day
“character is indeed rare in this world, and it takes only a little intelligence to trim your course as circumstances might require, for who is there to point our your mistakes? thus in politics, realism is always right, even if it is morally wrong.”
-Combat “Intelligence and Character” August 29, 1944
PARIS VS NEW YORK – THE VIDEO
the great book paris vs new york of our dear friend varham is now moving thanks to tony miotto, it’s great too. by pp.
les lalannes at paul kasmin
paul kasmin has been found of the lalanne(s) for quite some time, he even published a book of pictures he took when visiting their studios. these days he’s presenting a show which looks like a sort of retrospective since there is works from the 60’s as well as more recent ones. witty and beautiful as always by pp.
GREAT USE OF THE DOG
by william wegman in the present issue of man about town, designed by no one else than m/m paris. by pp.
celine sk8
celine trying to be street with daria werbowy and a skateboard, shot by juergen teller…kinda corny but i like it. not sure how i missed this, or graffiti artist kidult’s SK8 tag on the celine paris store, seems like a pretty convenient collab rather than a protest, either way i’m sure celine got some press out of it. by m+m
hermes – petit h
last time i was in paris, i saw this collection from hermes called petit h. it is basically hermes trying to use their scraps pieces of leather or silk. some are weird and useless, and some are great, but everything is fun. by pp.

Libuse Niklova – toy designer
after ww2, wood is too expensive and rare to keep doing toys out of it. tchek designer Libuse Niklova then came up with a new vision for the toys she was designing for the company Gumotex Breclav. her toys got new shapes, new colors and an instant success. i personally like the simple yet not simplistic shapes of those pieces of design that don’t feel dated after almost 50 years. jeff koons, man, you’re out! by pp.
