Exemplifying the different strokes for different folks aesthetic in more ways than one is a new book titled Italiens, brought toyou by adance/art/music troupe that answers to the name of The Changes. In 2007, they arrived in Italy for a party celebrating an exhibition opening during Milan Design Week. One year later, they're releasing a book of the adventure that once was. Think sci-fi sound tracks, tortellini alla panna, re-interpreted ad campaigns, punk music overtones, mozzarella, disco and mama-style momentos featuring everything and more from fellow clique members including Fergadelic (Tonite UK), Skatething (BBC/IceCream JPN), and Shauna & Misha (PAM). Highly recommended viewing for anyone who gets off on being lost in translation or better still, for those who consider themselves connaisseurs of what the French call n'importe quoi. A definite must-have for any bookshelf with balls. We've been told in therapy that compartmentalizing our feelings could lead to a regrettable emotional outburst. At 28, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor, however, Givenchy artistic designer Riccardo Tisci proves that compartmentalizing a couture wardrobe could lead to an outburst of unrelenting chicness-and that, of course, is anything but regrettable. Uprooted from its home on Avenue George V, the label's new Parisian flagship represents the house's recent rejuvenation at the hands of Tisci. 'This space is the natural setting for our new designs. It represents the modernity of Givenchy,' says CEO Marco Gobbetti. 'It also gives us the opportunity to define the new image and language of the brand with even greater precision.' Tisci collaborated with architect Jamie Fobert (of London's Tate Modern) on a space that reflects a divide-and-conquer approach to fashion, breaking the store up into five compartments that mimic the famous Givenchy boxes used to deliver the garments. Each box contains some wisp of the brand's history (the interiors of Box No. 1, for example, are sculpted from the same white plaster moulding that's found in the couture Salon of the Avenue George V store), that offers historical contrast to the current line displayed within their walls. According to Fobert, '[Ricardo Tisci and I] experimented with materials, looking for surfaces and textures to alter perceptions and trigger memories that would be contemporary but emerge with a subtle romanticism.' The result of their efforts is a store deeply aware of its origins without falling victim to the pitfalls of nostalgic design, and balanced by a fresh, zen-like energy that is sure to sustain the house through the next hundred years. Catherine Blair Pfander There’s good reason to turn lemons into lemonade Fred Thompson calls lemonade “comfort food in a glass.” Author of the cookbook “Lemonade,” he says: “It’s as nostalgic as Mom’s meatloaf,” he says. “We all have some memories of it as a child ... It’s sort of this sense of generations that quite frankly we don’t have a lot of these days.” Henkel Beauty Division Sees 8 Percent Net Gain The cosmetics and toiletries division of the Henkel Group boosted first-quarter operating earnings by 8 percent, or 13.4 percent on a currency adjusted basis, to 89 million euros, or $133.3 million at average exchange.

more articles It's spring, and summer is just around the corner. That means that toes are peeking out of sandals. Actually, for many styles this year, nearly the entire foot is exposed. Some styles are feather-light, made of nothing but thin straps of metallic or bright leather, while others have a hefty feel, but are still categorized as sandals. "The sandals are selling well as we're coming into warmer weather," said James Smits, owner of Aspen Boutique, 4724 E. Douglas. "Black patent is everywhere. The trim is very important. All the detail is what sets them apart." A big seller of the season: gladiator styles. Some have buckles and straps that go almost to the knee. Genevieve Gordon, one of the owners of Genevieve G Shoes in Bradley Fair, Rock Road and 21st Street, said the gladiator look in sandals "has definitely been prominent this spring." |
