faye dunaway: the morning after the oscars
this is a beautiful image, too bad its so choreographed with the newspapers so perfectly “scattered” but its a cool idea for a very cool woman. by dd
Harrier and Jaguar by Fionna Banner
i came across a recent commission of fionna banner by the tate britain. i must admit that i was unaware of her work before and feel like i’ve walked into a world i’ve been missing out on. her fascination with the emblem of the fighter plane gives us these elegant arrangements. she sees them as the ‘opposite of language’, used when communication fails …”harrier and jaguar remain ambiugous objects implying both captured beast and fallen trophy.” if you’re in london you can catch this exhibition until january 1011. i will definitely be exploring more of this delicately abrasive artists work. by kl
jsbj – je suis une bande de jeunes
jsbj self publish fanzine-like books of photographers. it’s so nice and powerful that it’s making me feel bad about not doing this kind of things. of course everything is out of print so forget about owning a print but i will be on the starting block for the next one. moving! by pp
diptyque – still in love!
after proudly sporting diptyque’s for about ten years i wanted a changes and went unfaithfully to every other perfumers in paris to get an idea on what to switch for. my nose went to numerous more or less pleasant smells, people were really nice and the all experience was pretty glamorous but nothing rocked my world and i eventually went back to diptyque! i know it’s a bit mainstream nowadays and kind of obvious but they’re my guys!
ps: do you fellows know the name ditptyque comes from the fact their original store on boulevard saint germain is a corner and offers two large windows that the founders interpreted as… a diptyque! by pp’
viviane sassen – sol&luna
i remember the work of photographer viviane sassen in some magazines years ago.
and now there is this book “sol&luna;”, assignment from our legacy and libraryman co.
it’s described as:
“a specially made and well-built series of imagery with androgyny and beauty as the key principle”
just so nice! by pp

starck+intersection magazine
saw the starck+intersection mag concept car in the window of colette last night. that is a really nice piece actually. maybe starck should stick to this kind of project since not far away from there is another one of his production, the hotel meurice and believe me, the soap car is definitely on top! by pp’
