Plan with your roommate. Don't be the pair that ends up with two mini fridges and two TVs. Talk about what you need to bring, whether you want to coordinate your decor and what the expectations are for how your room will be used. If you both want your room to be a place where others hang out, you'll want pillows for sitting on the floor. If your roommate goes to bed early, you’ll want a desk lamp that you can use to keep working The best roommate relationships are grounded when the lights are off. “The best roommate relationships are grounded in communica- in communication.

The most residential living at Georgetown University. “Start the conversation before you arrive on common conflicts in residence halls occur when campus.” 2. Don't buy it all before you arrive. roommates don’t communicate. As tempting as it is to buy every bright-col- oured “dorm room must-have” advertised, contain yourself. Find the basics, then see what you need when you get to your room. If you don't wait, you risk buying items that don’t work in your space. 3. Buy furniture that can be used in multiple ways. As you know (or will very soon discover), dorm rooms are noto- riously small. Don’t clutter yours with fur- niture. “Anything bulky you bring into the space should always be multifunctional,” said Stephanie Hayman, chief product officer at Dormify, a dorm decorating blog and retailer. One of the easiest multiuse pieces is an otto- man, which can serve as storage, seating, a coffee table or a mini-desk if you sit on the floor. 4. Clean first. Dorm rooms are a cesspool of germs. One of the best ways to avoid get- ting sick from living in close quarters is to keep yourself and your space clean. “When you first arrive, make sure you clean the floor, under the mattress and in the sink if you have one,” said Robin Wilson, an interior designer who focuses on eco-friendly clean- liness. “Before you bring in your things, make sure all the dust that might have been sitting there for five years is completely gone.” Quick cleaning tips for surviving the rest of the year: Carry hand sanitizer, wash your sheets twice a month and keep disinfecting wipes in your room. 5. Then rearrange your furniture. After cleaning your new room, consider its layout. “It's easier to move the furniture around before you have all of your clothes, books, pillows and such in there,” said Liz Gray, a senior editor at HGTV.com. A few space-making options Gray suggests are loft- ing your bed, moving your dresser into the closet and putting your desk back-to-back with your roommate's. PLUS | WEDNESDAY 20 AUGUST 2014 3 6.

  • Calendario Pirelli 2011, Viaggio Tra Miti, Eroi E Divinità | 1
    Calendario Pirelli 2011, viaggio tra miti, eroi e divinità | 1 Il Calendario Pirelli 2011, giunto alla sua trentottesima edizione, è stato presentato oggi in anteprima mondiale alla stampa, agli ospiti e ai collezionisti di tutto il mondo a Mosca nello storico teatro “Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko”. Da oltre 40 anni, Pirelli lascia carta bianca a un grande fotografo per immortalare ogni anno le donne più belle del mondo nel proprio calendario. All’inizio l’idea era offrire un regalo stupendo per motivare la forza vendita, oggi il Calendario Pirelli è divenuto un lussuoso oggetto da collezione e allo stesso tempo un simbolo della nostra società. Dopo la Cina immortalata da Patrick Demarchelier nell’edizione 2008, il Botswana ritratto da Peter Beard nel 2009 e il Brasile di Terry Richardson per il 2010, “The Cal” 2011 è stato firmato in Francia dal genio creativo di Karl Lagerfeld, artista e figura poliedrica e, sempre e soprattutto, esteta acclamato in tutto il mondo. Nel suo studio parigino, Lagerfeld ha dato vita a “Mythology”, un calendario che riflette una delle sue più radicate passioni, quella per le leggende e i miti della mitologia greco-romana, per il racconto dell’origine dell’uomo e del mondo attraverso le avventure di dei e dee, eroi ed eroine. In un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo attraverso il linguaggio universale della fotografia, “Mythology” ci riporta così alle radici della civiltà classica e riavvicina il Calendario Pirelli al Vecchio Continente, dove quasi 140 anni fa hanno avuto inizio le attività di una società diventata una multinazionale presente in oltre 160 paesi nel mondo.

  • Communiqué De Presse Pirelli : Présentation À Vérone De
    COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE PIRELLI : PRÉSENTATION À VÉRONE DE “À LA RECHERCHE DE JULIETTE”, LE CALENDRIER 2020 DE PAOLO ROVERSI Avec un court métrage d'art, Paolo Roversi recherche l’âme de Juliette. Vérone, le 3 décembre 2019 — “À la recherche de Juliette”, le Calendrier Pirelli 2020 réalisé par Paolo Roversi, a été présenté aujourd’hui au Théâtre Philarmonique de Vérone. En s’inspirant du drame intemporel de Shakespeare, Paolo Roversi part à la recherche de « la Juliette qui sommeille en toutes les femmes” dans la 47ème édition de The Cal™, avec en protagonistes Claire Foy, Mia Goth, Chris Lee, Indya Moore, Rosalía, Stella Roversi, Yara Shahidi, Kristen Stewart et Emma Watson. Pour la première fois, le Calendrier combine la photographie et le cinéma avec un court-métrage de 18 minutes. Paolo Roversi interprète dans le court-métrage son propre rôle de réalisateur faisant passer une série d’auditions aux candidats pour le rôle Juliette, qui passent une à une devant la lentille du directeur pour interpréter une “Juliette” multifacette grâce à une large gamme d’expressions et d’émotions. L’histoire se déroule en deux phases. Dans la première, les actrices apparaissent à leur arrivée sur le plateau, sans maquillage ni costume. Elles s’asseyent et parlent avec Paolo Roversi du projet pour lequel chacune espère être sélectionnée, racontant leur propre expérience ainsi que l’idée qu’elles se font de Juliette. Les actrices laissent ainsi transparaître un côté intimiste et personnel. Dans la seconde phase, elles revêtent des costumes créés pour les transformer en interprètes de l’héroïne shakespearienne.

    NOTA À IMPRENSA PIRELLI: APRESENTADO EM MILÃO “DREAMING”, O CALENDÁRIO PIRELLI 2019 FOTOGRAFADO POR ALBERT WATSON Milão, 5 de Dezembro de 2018 – Um extenso conto registrado por meio de fotografias sobre as aspirações de quatro mulheres e do comprometimento de cada uma para atingir o objetivo, cada qual atrás de seus sonhos e paixões. Este é “Dreaming”, a quadragésima- sexta edição do Calendário Pirelli, fotografado por Albert Watson, no mês de abril, entre as cidades de Miami e Nova York e apresentado hoje em Milão no Pirelli HangarBicocca. Fotogramas em sequência que contam histórias de personagens interpretados por Gigi Hadid ao lado de Alexander Wang, Julia Garner, Misty Copeland com Calvin Royal III e Laetitia Casta junto com Sergei Polunin. Quarenta cliques a cores e em preto e branco na proporção de 16:9 inspirados na grande paixão de Albert Watson pelo cinema. “Ao me aproximar deste projeto – explica Watson - queria ser diferente dos outros fotógrafos e fiquei pensando qual poderia ser a melhor maneira. Fui à procura de imagens com grande qualidade, com profundidade e que contassem histórias. Não queria meros retratos de pessoas, mas algo que se aproximasse o quanto mais das ‘imagens congeladas’ de um filme. Gostaria que, ao olhar para o Calendário, as pessoas entendessem que o meu propósito foi a pureza da fotografia, foi sondar as mulheres que eu estava retratando e revelar uma situação com um enfoque positivo sobre as mulheres de hoje.” O fotógrafo, ao contar o caminho que o levou a realizar o Calendário, fala de sonhos, do engajamento e da dedicação necessários: “Para que um sonho se torne realidade é preciso trabalhar duro.

  • Created by Karl Lagerfeld
    Pirelli: in Moscow presenting the 2011 calendar, “MYTHOLOGY”, created by Karl Lagerfeld Moscow, 30 November 2010 – Today in Moscow, the 2011 Pirelli Calendar, now it its 38th edition, was presented to the world’s press and to other guests and collectors from around the world. The event was held at the prestigious Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko theatre, which has, over the course of more than 90 years, been the site of operas and ballets that have become a part of the nation’s artistic heritage. After Patrick Demarchelier immortalised China in the 2008 edition, Peter Beard drew a portrait of Botswana in 2009, and Terry Richardson covered Brazil in 2010, “The Cal 2011” features the creative genius of the multi-faceted artist Karl Lagerfeld, whose sense for art and aesthetics is renowned throughout the world. From his Paris studio, Lagerfeld created “Mythology”, a calendar that reflects one of his deepest passions, that of Greek and Roman mythology, tales of the origins of humanity told through the adventures of gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines. On a voyage back through time transported by the universal language of photography, “Mythology” takes us to the roots of classical civilisation and takes the Pirelli Calendar back to the Old World, where nearly 140 years ago a company was born that was to become a multinational organisation with operations in over 160 nations around the world. The 36 photos that make up the 2011 Calendar show 24 different subjects, including gods, heroes and myths. With his keen eye, Lagerfeld has ‘sculpted’ these photos both in terms of their aesthetic rigour and for the recurring references to the art of sculpture and its classical tenets.

  • She Walks in Beauty VOORWOORD
    Olivier Theyskens She walks in beauty VOORWOORD Wanneer Olivier Theyskens in 1997 zijn eerste stappen in de mode zet en een eigen modehuis lanceert, is hij een prille twintiger die zijn studies aan de Brusselse modeschool La Cambre voortijdig heeft stopgezet. Vandaag, twintig jaar later, nu hij de helft van zijn leven in de mode actief is geweest, kan hij terugblikken op een indrukwekkende carrière en een heel bijzonder parcours. Theyskens behoort tot de tweede generatie Belgische ontwerpers die eind vorige eeuw internationaal naam maakten. Kenmerkend voor die generatie is de snelheid waarmee de meestal piepjonge ontwerpers roem verwierven in de modewereld, een eigen huis opstartten en in de spotlights van de internationale modepers volwassen werden, zowel op artistiek als op zakelijk vlak. Dit boek en de gelijknamige tentoonstelling dragen de ondertitel ‘She walks in beauty’, naar een gedicht van Lord Byron uit 1813. Die literaire reminiscentie past bij de talrijke historische verwijzingen in Theyskens’ oeuvre en de sfeer van donkere romantiek in veel van zijn collecties maar ook bij het basisidee van de tentoonstelling en het boek. Hierin wordt getoond hoe Theyskens’ creatieve DNA voortdurend in beweging is en zich in verschillende etappes, onder meer toen hij creatief directeur was bij Rochas, Nina Ricci en Theory, ontplooide tot een consistente en gerijpte signatuur. Beweging kenmerkt ook zijn ontwerpen. Hij houdt van speciale stoffen, materialen en bewerkingen. Hij kiest ze om de manier waarop ze licht reflecteren of rond een zich bewegend lichaam vallen. Door ze met uitgekiende coupes te combineren creëert hij een lichtheid die beweging brengt in de ontwerpen en ervoor zorgt dat deze niet verzanden in historische nostalgie.
