Rabanne x Art Basel

As I have covered time and time again here, art, more than ever, is a branding asset for luxury brands. While one could expect a form of general fatigue as the number of collaborations between brands and artists keeps ballooning, the unique story-telling ability of the pair seems to hold strong.  Quite interestingly, the natureContinue reading “Rabanne x Art Basel”

Kelly Colors

Art x Outfit Edit #38 Last week, I went to the Ellsworth Kelly show at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. The retrospective underlines the gradual evolution of his work from figurative inspirations to abstract large scale canvases.  Ellsworth Kelly was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker associated with hard-edge painting, Color field painting and minimalism. His works demonstrate unassuming techniques emphasizing line,Continue reading “Kelly Colors”

Gucci Ancora

This week, Sabato De Sarno, Gucci’s new creative director, presented his Cruise collection in London – a city central to Gucci’s history. Also central to De Sarno’s vision for Gucci is his bold reinterpretation of the brand identity, diametrically opposed to Alessandro Michele’s high energy and extravaganza. In fact, de Sarno’s classically Italian flair isContinue reading “Gucci Ancora”

Spring going on Summer

Art x Outfit Edit #37 Finally, after literal MONTHS of rain in the French capital, the sun seems to be settling back. For how long you ask? Well, let’s be delusional and say: for a decent amount of time. Whatever, this sun has made me excited for the Summer to come and has me daydreamingContinue reading “Spring going on Summer”

Loewe x Albert York

Season after season, Loewe is unsurprisingly mind blowing. JW Anderson just keeps pushing the boundaries of creativity and infuses a multiplicity of meanings into his creations. Indeed, in order to speak to the Zeitgeist, he focuses not only on proposing original, truly out of the box designs. In an era where many designers just seemContinue reading “Loewe x Albert York”

Nouvelle Vague

Art x Outfit Edit #34 On Saturday, before joining some friends for an afternoon stroll, I decided to visit the Jacquemus store avenue Montaigne to see and feel “Le Camino” bag. As I walked around the store, spotting a particularly fancy Pierre-Auguste Renoir sculpture, I stumbled upon an even more intriguing pair of jeans. Puffy,Continue reading “Nouvelle Vague”

Viktor & Rolf’s Art

Visiting the exhibit « La traversée des apparences » at the Centre Pompidou, I stumbled upon a dress from the 2015 Viktor & Rolf Houte Couture collection called “Wearable Art”. The exhibition focuses on the links between modern and contemporary art and fashion, with a particular focus on younger up and coming creatives such as Charles deContinue reading “Viktor & Rolf’s Art”

From Lee’s Point of View

Art x Outfit Edit #33 A few months ago, walking through the Asian aisle of the Met, I stumbled upon one of Lee Ufan’s work. The Korean artist is a key member of the Japanese Mono-ha movement, born in the 1960s. Mono-ha means “School of Things” and the aesthetic value rejects Western modern art standards. SpecificallyContinue reading “From Lee’s Point of View”

Jacquemus’ Sculptures

This blog covers the intersection of art and luxury, so, of course, I could not not cover the last show of the prodigy child of French “pop luxury”, as labelled by the designer himself. Jacquemus last show’s, Les Sculptures took place on January 29th at the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, at the heart of Simon’s dear Sud.Continue reading “Jacquemus’ Sculptures”
