Golden Hook & Grandma
__________________________________________________________________
These guys had a bright idea -to me:
They actually let customers design their own hat/scarf and then choose the grandmother they’d like to knit it !
After choosing the one they’d like to knit their hat, customers can send her a message and can even request that she signs her name on the hat’s label.
These days there’s nothing like knowing (and being able to share) the product life story of a locally handmade good to make a consumer value it more.
How smart is it !

Rykiel undressed H&M / Paris Grand Palais
_______________________________________________
Ok, well,
how to start ?
Yesterday night, the Grand Palais welcomed an oversized show for the swedish monsters Hennes and Mauritz. In a few days they are launching a collection by Sonia Rykiel, starting first with underwear.
and they made it like it was THE big launch...
With such an high budget (3 or 4 million euros for one night) the swedish giant didn't take much risks. It seems all the guests -including me- have spent a hell of a night... Etienne Russo made the art direction (he usually works with Dries Van Noten, Hermès, Chanel and Rykiel) and created a likewise fairytale in a huge fairground.
I hope, despite the current dull time they will succed with this new French partnership !

Anthropologie I London
_____________________________________________________________________
The american brand, Anthropologie is coming over the european market.
Well known by those (girls/women) who have been to NYC -for instance, Anthropologie is an upper version of Urban Outfitter.
The atmosphere in this new shop might be as its american sisters : huge (Regent Street location is a whopping 11,000 Sq ft) very detailed, classy and arty athmosphere.
Wooden floors, green walls, they mastered a great new shopping experience.
Just like the Merci concept store in Paris if i can compare.
If you do not have the money the store is worth a visit just to marvel at the visuals.
and for those who are not in London, they ship in more than 30 countries from the web.

We all know the little Fiat 500 new edition is a must have (mostly among young women) this year and mostly for the next ones...
Until the end of Septembre on can see different Fiat 500 in the world famous street Via Montenapoleone : in plastic used as planters for various trees....

"a symbol of new way of living"
Interesting, innit ?

For some the ultimate style is the basic Casio watch, straight from the 80s.
For others it is the Oyster by Rolex.

C/O Berlin | 10 years of photography, Deutsche Börse

I've been recently to a great photo exhibition in Berlin:
With subject matter ranging from landscapes, architecture, interiors, and portraits, the collection brings together top-class, mainstream works, and icons of contemporary photographic history.
It is a bit late though to advertise on that exhibition closed for a few weeks but it is not too late to talk about these inspiring photographers
