CHANEL&GIGI BURRIS

Several have been rumors about hiring Gigi Burris as head of millinery at Chanel. But the reality is that the maison is in talks with her for the recruitment as assistant. Gigi Burris is a really talented and promising milliner. She is only 23 years old, graduated from the Parsons school in New York she is the "protegée" of the gorgeous Kate Lanphear. Within two years her name has been around the world. Such as Coco Chanel, also for her, feathers and pearls make their mark.

IT'S ABOUT BUBBLES ...

A few days ago, I discovered this brilliant idea .. We are in Roubaix, northern France. Rudolph Palladino has designed the Bubble Room. Made of canvas semi-(recycled material), under pressure, able to sustain itself without vertical supports, temperature controlled, occur simultaneously hyper and retro, with their ability to offer overnight stays indoors, without depriving themselves of all comfort, but under a starry sky and surrounded by nature. The illumination color is the choice of the host.

I have absolutely to see them..and try!

HATS: MARIE MERCIE'

Marie Mercié was born in the forest of Fontainebleau and her roots marks her art to create hats.  She conceives his creations as a detachment of reality, something real and unreal at the same time, dominated by nature. Her style is playful, contemporary and chic. Flavor of a Parisian allure.

She opened her first shop in Paris in 1987, becoming soon an emblematic figure of fashion with the international press latching onto her most outlandish hats.

SASKIA, STEFAN (DIEZ) AND THEIR PAPIER BAGS

From a brilliant collaboration between husband and wife, born a gorgeous line of bags, Papier (Paper bags). The bags are made of Tyvek, a material developed by Dupont which is water-resistant and completely recyclable. The visual and tactile effect is undoubtedly a huge sheet of paper folded like origami.

The project was launched last year during the Paris Fashion week.. and only now I see them on sale in LN-CC one of my favorite places where i can find escapism when I'm in London.

LEIGH BOWERY, THE BRUTAL BEAUTY.

Leigh was a drag mama, an intellectual, a space alien, a club queen, a trans-performer and an advocate for creating your own reality. He was so avant-garde to transform himself into a living artwork.

 

He was a freaky icon. Was the London underground scene of the 80's-90's. Inspiration for special artists such as Galliano and McQueen. Creative energy, pure.
