Ok, I'm a BB fan and I would never buy an iPhone. Having said that I want this application sooo badly!

It has been developped by French record label Record Makers due to their 10th Anniversary. This label represents artists like Sebastien Tellier, Acid Wash, I love UFO and Sex In Dallas. The application consists of a series of drawings that are divided in 3 sections and can be matched with one finger. Drawings are made by renown artists Mrzyk & Moriceau, here are some examples of their work:

Inside The Studio

2010-04-05T19:49:00.005+02:00

Ever since I started reading The Selby's photoblog I wandered what HIS house would look like. Now Style.com has done a short video going into his studio. It may not be his house but it is just as good!

It is def. a good interview, his studio is messy and an amazing creative space, filled with those little things he likes to look for in other people's houses!

Oh Todd, you do not look wanky at all!

Jamaica

2010-04-02T16:15:00.001+02:00

They're Parisian and were first called Poney Poney and created a LP called When Do You Wanna Stop Working?. This band was good. Now they've signed with Ed Banger Records and have changed their name to Jamaica. This band is cool. Here is their first single, produced by Xavier de Rosnay from Justice.

Pharrell's "The Tank"

2010-03-26T00:42:00.004+01:00

Pharrell Williams, musician, producer, "fashion designer” has now decided to explore yet another field of the creative world. He has designed "The Tank" chair, a limited collection that comes in 4 colours and that you can buy at Colette for only 17350€…

I find it funny that he chose a tank as inspiration for a chair, considering that he is American and against the war…I guess it's one of those things I can't wrap my mind around, I mean, inspiration just comes, but why choose something that you consider negative as the main idea behind your first industrial design project which, surely, you want it to turn out to be a success? Wouldn't that screw it up? or jinx it? like mess with your magnetic-guru-supersticious-cosmos-wave-field-stuff and result in a bad career just because the first one went against your personal ideas? I don't know... Probably I'm just reading to much into something that in reality has no substance behind it; it is what it is.

It's just not quite my cup of tea...

Nostalgia

2010-03-22T14:39:00.011+01:00

Yesterday I went to see A Single Man. I had been waiting to see it forever but due to a series of events it never seemed to work out; but yesterday it did.

The truth is I'm still in the A-Single-Man-Cloud, and I know it seems like I'm exaggerating, but the film is fantastic. Every single detail has been taken care off, the fact that the camera does not produce a digital and sharp image but has instead a bit of grain, like the old 35mm cameras, sets a scene and an ambiance that transports you back to that precise moment. The camera work is brilliant, the angles and shots are really interesting and combined with Tom Ford's aesthetics, the film never seems to be slow, even when nothing is happening you feel like there are so many things to admire that you don’t even notice the lack of action. The slight hints of humor are enough to stop the movie from falling into a dark, depressive spiral yet maintain the sober tone of the movie. The way in which the sounds are overlapped make you more aware of all the images you are seeing. Tom Ford’s love of the beautiful is shown in every bit of the movie, from the aesthetics of the props and the wardrobe to the close ups and post production. And, to put the cherry on perfection, Jon Kortajarena has a small part in it, and we all know how I feel about Jon…

I want her hair

Everything screams Tom Ford. I want a Tom Ford production stamp on my life.

By now everyone knows I've always wanted to be hippie, a groupie, to live the 60s and 70s to their finest and the movie only emphasized it more. The hair, the make up, the clothes, the furniture, the cars, the manners, the words, groovy, the colours, the music, the noise, the air...

How can I feel nostalgic for a time I’ve never lived?

Summer

2010-02-21T14:52:00.004+01:00

When is summer coming back!??

I can't stop listening to The Drums, a NY based band, it's not even because I think their music is amazing, it's just I love how they descibed it:

"We only write about two feelings: one is the first day of summer when you and all of your friends are standing on the edge of a cliff watching the sun set and being overcome with all of your hopes and dreams at once. The other is when you're walking alone in the rain and realize you will be alone forever"

They manage to bring summer into music. They're like the Beach Boys, when you listen to one of their songs you can't help but daydream of the heat of the sun and the bright white sand...

I'm aware of the fact that a lot of people don't like them but, I've started to have a warm place in my heart for them.

Once again you managed to shock us. Once again we were all breathless after the decisions you took. I just wish this time they'd been fashion decisions.

You came in with a Bang and there's no other way you could have left. I doubt there's anything I can say that hasn't already been said over and over again. You're a genious and you'll be missed.

17 March 1969 - 11 February 2010

Hope fashion heaven is treating you well.

Waking up is always a hard thing to do, therefore you need a good tune to kick you off bed. Even though this song is starting to get old it still does the trick!

Maison Michel

2010-02-08T13:31:00.018+01:00

Maison Michel is a French firm that creates hats and hair accesories. Since 1936, when Monsieur Auguste Michel created his first atelier at 65 Rue Sainte Anne in Paris, socialites, celebrities and mere fashion lovers have gone bananas for their designs. In 1980 Maison Michel, under the artistic direction of Pierre Debard, started to create the hats for the prêt-à-porter and haute couture collections of major fashion firms such as Chanel, Givenchy, Lanvin, Lacroix or Nina Ricci.

By 1996 Chanel takes over Maison Michel and in 2006 the first Maison Michel store opens to the public allowing a wider audience to buy there, rather than just the exclusive elite of private customers it used to have.

You probably recognise the photos of the A/W 2009 collection which was shot by Karl Lagerfeld. Here are some examples:

Titus & Crush

2010-02-01T13:56:00.004+01:00

FINALLY I decided to buy the album by Titus & Crush from the iTunes. I've been looking for it for AGES and only just thought about looking in iTunes, I guess I just had a bimbo moment.

So, the reason why I wanted to find them is because they have this new really cool idea. Basically what they do is they get their lyrics from vintage porn movies from the '70s and add the music to it. Here's an example:

Come On! by Titus & Crush

How cool!? I'm obsessed with them!
