These bitches are for sure livin’ it big

Valentino: the last emperor the movie is having a contest to find the most fashionable pug, and as everyone knows there are two things in life I like the most: Dogs and fashion. So it’s no surprise I spend a whole afternoon looking at these amazingly screwy pictures

David Gomez DREAM

Two days ago I had this dream where I found myself in the mind of ‘David Gomez’…or at least that’s what I think it was.
This is how it sort of looked:



It was a ‘Being John Malkovich’ kind of dream. And it was a real good one.
As I found myself moving, the environment was transforming at the very same time into stages of drawings.
I wish to have the same dream again, only now with his Technicolor portraits.

Color Mountains


Someone ask me to do a landscape for a Christmas present… this is how it ended up looking.
–they liked it and it’s now hanging in their apartment

Eat your birth out


I’ve just find this poster I did back in may with my then roomie Leonardo for a Congress of anthropology contest, I created the concept, he made it real… we ended up winning second place.
Not bad uh?

The clothes are not dead... yet

Ms. Horyn

Yesterday I saw for the third time, via style.com, the Valentino show. Everyone was saying it was, beautiful, respectful, and right on the money. Yet, I couldn’t figure it out, why I hated it. I read everywhere, so many ‘La dolce vita’ references, that I had to see it, once more. It wasn’t that movie, they were all wrong … it do was Fellini, but it was 8 ½.

The clothes are not dead yet, as you said, but they are dying, fading, and becoming extinct, it doesn’t take much to relate this show to the movie plot, where an Italian film director, is suffering from “director’s block.” And it’s pressed and harassed by his entourage to create something adequate.

Adequate, it was for sure, but as Susy Menkes said, ‘There was absolutely nothing to frighten clients’.
Isn’t that sad?

The Beautiful Losers Film


Beautiful Losers film trailer from beautifullosersfilm on Vimeo.

This video makes POPULAR GEEKS FOR KIDS –the musical/arty project of my friends’s and I- sound normal. I love it. We are not actually ‘do it yourself’ people. But we do some stuff, and we do it nicely. It almost makes it sound normal when we do things like:

Put grass all over my room to have a suitable tea party


Put blue boxes all over my terrace just to enjoy the view



Go in stupid costumes to a burgerking parking space to fight and scare people



and so on...

The art of death, compilation

While running through the morning papers, I found in The International Herald Tribune, an article wrote by Susy Menkes entitled ‘From Milan: Sobering up after dress to excess’ and this amazing paragraph within:

Recession is in the air - and on the runways, where it seems that men can dress for the winter 2009/10 season in any colors, as long as they are shades of gray, black and white.

Then, only a few hours later, in the University Library, after reading a compilation called ‘the decadent reader: fiction, fantasy and perversion’ that had a few notes on Barbey d’Aurevilly that will came helpful on my work about dandyism, I, accidentally threw out the novel ‘Lladri di biciclette’. The images of the 1948 adaptation by Vittorio de Sica, ran through my head, the whole movie actually.
Then I understand Milan and why Miuccia Prada was saying that her show was about “surviving” and that in order “to survive, you have to be strong". Her collection was beautiful and makes sense.


Dolce and Gabbana, where, talking about Sicily, -the last Sicilian collection was in 1991- Said Stefano Gabbana to explain Dolce & Gabbana's focus on a southern Italian homeland. It was less austere than Prada’s for sure but they were also talking about rough times. They have created –especially with Steven Meisel- a language where Sicily immediately evokes Italian neorealism, this one was no exception. It was pure transition between neorealism and symbolism, just like ‘La Dolce Vita’, even though, the guys where portraying more Anouk Aimée’s character than Marcello's one.
Jil Sander by Raf Simons also stood out, it’s the best I’ve seen so far, but he went Nordic,Scandinavian functionalism,and that’s another story.

Diary

Nantes, Sunday 1th July

I started packing for my trip to Rome; I ate with Leonardo & Mariella in down town and came back. We had an Asian party, the house was draped with banners of gold, red, and purple, and the Oriental theme was displayed with a thousand-pound bronze statue of Buddha, laden with white cattleya orchids. The habitual strangers came up. The room ended up smelling like a mixture of fruit and spices: Mandarin orange, jasmine, rose, Lily of the Valley, amber, incense and musk, as well as patchouli.
Dimitri has an incredible nose, and he’s always telling me about scents. Hey! This time he was quite accurate. Anyway my friend Iria Benet showed me how instead of smoking hashish I could get the same effect from pinching a little bit off and swallowing it and well, I ate the whole thing.
When I finally went to bed I ended up having nightmares. I dream that I was walking down Cours de Cinquante Otages and all the puppies were defoliated creating a American beauty kind of scenario, where all the sky was of different color petals, it sounds sweet, but it felted sad.

Paris, Monday 2th July

Yves Saint Laurent died yesterday. We took the first train to Paris -Montparnasse was scary-cold- and the whole city was draped with the Paris Match cover, it’s surreal to see Paris mourning. We are staying at Sophia’s apartment.

Paris, Tuesday 3th July

Nantes and Paris are really bright cities to be so high in the map.
Sophia, Dimitri and I went to have brunch on the rue du 29 de juillet sushi; I’m obsessed with this restaurant. Then walk to the provisional Colette store in Place du Marché St-Honoré, and bought the amazingly beautiful Ola Rindal’s ‘the Beginning’ book. After that I ran into Scott Schuman, I’m always happy to see him. He was looking for some fashionable Stilts and I told him about a friend who’s selling them in a lil’ magazine near Palais royal. - We understand the need to have some good-looking stilts especially on fashion shows- He cracks me up, he’s probably the funnier straight-old-guy I’ve ever meet .

Sometimes you need a nice brunch



Who did it better?
