Does this girl from midtown district always match her outfits with her sneakers before going to the gym (honestly who doesn’t do it?)?
This is not streetstyle | Perfect match

I see these guys near Ace Hotel 220 West 29th Street, New York. They seems to act in an urban ballet, mirroring the same pose.
Berlin Fashion Week | Hannes Kettritz
Was that one collection or two? Sure, there was something of an 80’s vibe that ran throughout but it wasn’t really enough to hold the whole thing together.
Success came in the form of sportswear, the brightly coloured gym shorts had a Californian beach feel, as did the vests and tees they were matched with.
I really liked the way Hannes Kettritz cut the patterns, creating interesting shapes and incorporating concealed pockets. The same can be said of the bomber jackets, particularly one in grey suede with dropped notched lapels I would have stolen right off the models back. But then there was the tailoring. The broad shouldered, boxy cuts wouldn’t have flattered a cardboard box. When made from shinny twisted yarn fabrics the inspiration appeared to be Elton John – if he had taken a job as a bingo caller.
Towards the end, as I noticed amused expressions (or bemused maybe?) spreading along the row of faces beside the catwalk, I thought other people were as confused as I was. Then the model turned around, revealing his raincoat had a clear plastic back and that he wore absolutely nothing underneath. This surely wasn’t the same show we started with? In one sense only, was I glad to see the back of it.

New York inspires… No queen blues
In New-York City, wandering between Meatpacking and Soho, the music of avant-garde alternative rock band Sonic Youth is screaming inside my head.
Turbulence at Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton
Angela Bulloch – Progression of 8 perverted pixels, 2008
Discover the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton, as many big fashion houses Louis Vuitton is making his way into the art world.
Created in 2006, the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton presents the different stories of the brand through a contemporary artistic eye.
The actual exhibition is about « Turbulence » a word also attached to the art world as soon as Leonardo da Vinci was the first artist to take interest in this phenomenon. The italian painter observed and reported meticulously the differents states of this random movement (with illustrated swirls and curls…).
Then at the dawn of the XXth century artists like Calder or Tinguely created mobile whose movements was conceived as matter-time.
Today mixing new technologies and more primitive ones, artists from different horizons can explore new fields of Turbulence and give birth to specific works. This fantastic exhibition brings the creations, all radically different of eleven artists.
If like me you love crossover exhibitions where art meets science and technology you surely may not want to miss it!
Loris Cecchini – Gaps (airborne), 2010
Below is my favorite works, from german artist Jorinde Voigt, her drawings are like a network of words and numbers made as her brain was in a turbulent state of mind.
The work below is untitled but is about people kissing each other…

Below between fascination and repulsion, the living sculptures of the graduated in physics japanese artist Sachiko Kodama reminds me the works of swiss artist Giger.

Berlin Fashion Week | Dietrich Emter
Falling prey to a greater trend of temporal aimlessness, Dietrich Emter’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection mixed influences spanning the entire history of modern fashion without any particular emphasis on a style or trend.
Emter has stuck with his ready-to-wear principles -simple cuts and lines augmented by the strategic use of pleats. Coats, pants, blouses and dresses fall somewhere between futuristic, classic modern and 70s polyester, with no cohesive narrative other than the colors.
Plain white dominated, followed by royal blue and metallic orange, emerging in a slow gradation, first in a colored tree branch pattern, then in nearly monochromatic pieces. In a few short moves, the collection jumped from a simple white minidress with a patterned, pleated corner in the skirt, to a shimmering, retro-future type dress with sharp shoulders and a double-wide clasped belt at the waist.
The pieces de resistance, though, were a series of maxi and mini dresses reminiscent of mother-and-me nightgown sets from an old Quelle catalogue -and just in case you forget who designed it, Emter has helpfully stamped his tree branch mosaic with his initials.

Too much exposure
Tutankhamun treasures exhibition
The coffin chamber
I follow the tracks of Howard Carter, archeologist, through the modern replicas of the original objects, the recreated ante-chamber and burial chamber of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
Thanks to Parnasse

Tutankhamun was totally bling-bling no?
