Must Read: Beautiful People

In Beautiful People, Alicia Drake describes the rise (and fall) of two of the most talented Fashion designer of all time Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld.
Drake's opus build a parallel between once-upon-a-time good friends turned best enemies Karl and Yves, comparing their journey to the Fashion pinnacle, their exuberant lifestyle and their approach to Fashion and Art in general.

I strongly recommend Drake takes on Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld for those out there with a strong interest in Art / Fashion and the way careers and legends are build.

From my point of view, the strongest positive aspect of this book is Drake's way to describes Paris during the 70's, a world in transition between an ancient patriarchal system and the birth of a powerful consumer society.

In addition, Alicia Drake's outsider point of view allows her to describe an era and a scene without favorable prejudice.

On the flip side, I would say that by focusing only on YSL and KL, she tends to ignore the influence that the industry received from London and Milan based designers.

A few weeks ago, my dear friend at Nike Japan invited me to participate to their new NSW campaign " SCREAM YOUR COLORS" along with a large panel of Tokyo's artists and influencers.




It was definitely a great experience and I thank Nike Japan and the TDS PR team for their support.

アポカリプト

Tokyo at dawn.
Obscur masquarades and last lootings before Life.
Only a few have survived.
A brief moment of peace before another night.

Pass The Baton

“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac

Few days ago, I bought myself a vintage 80's Patty suitcase from "Pass The Baton".
"Pass The Baton" is a "New Recycle" concept store that gathers products and items from private individuals - objects with memories, items in disuse but that can't be thrown away. Items there are sold along with their stories to those who understands its use and value.

I might not ending up using this suitcase as much as the previous owner but I'm proud to have acquired such a classic traveling tool. As a matter of fact, just buying that suicase brought me joy and inspiration to design my next trip to South East Asia.
