Playtime

Today I featured some brilliant young photographers on C&L. I am glad to introduce you: Elizabeth Brooke and Chrissie White.

Elizabeth Brooke presents an incredible sensitiveness. She is only thirteen years old and her pictures are like tales.

Chrissie White is inspired by art and fashion. Her work is deep reminding me Caravaggio paintings.

All of them explore a mystic and dreamlike world bringing beautiful stories, feelings and colours.

I discovered, a little bite late, the new Moleskine serie today.

Two of the serie interested me, Film Journal and Wine Journal.

I am not really fancy with the adhesive labels but the different kind of layout are very clever.

The double pocket and the elastic keep everything closed and it is one of the reason I am using Moleskine. It makes the difference.

A good tool for the “loves of your life”.

In 40 years of creating, Yves Saint-Laurent revolutionised women’s wardrobes, by drawing on aspects of the male evening suit, trouser suit and safari suit to dress women, thereby passing attributes of power from one gender to the other. The designer took inspiration from the streets (1971 scandale collection), his dreamlike journeys (Russia, China, India, Spain, Japan, Africa and Morocco) and interaction with art (Modrian, Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh).

Kemistry Gallery is running a new show until June 19. Make sure you don’t miss it if you are in London. Zero Per Zero is a design studio from Seoul, South Korea, founded by Kim Ji-hwan and Jin Sol.

Nice popup book with essential advices by The Rethink Scholarship Langara College based in Vancouver.

Architect of the mind is the new collection Autumn Winter 2010-11 by Sanne Jansen.

Sanne Jansen is a dutch fashion designer based in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

Here you can read some words from Sanne and she said: “You can still ride your bicycle wearing the dress.”

As you probably know, Unit Editions recently released the number two of his newspapers serie. Looking at Form, a quarterly magazine of the arts (1966-1969). Tracking back the story of Form magazine, I am particularly delighted by Professor Steadman’s interview. What better way to continue the Van Doesburg & The International Avant-Garde past exhibition at Tate Modern.
