That’s why Gwen Stefani made sure to be part of every aspect of her new contemporary line, L.A.M.B., which debuted this week. “I drew every stitch, every seam,” Stefani says. “I did all the fittings. This is my baby.” Form-fitting T-shirts, pants with a swath of fabric over the bum and plenty of hardware give L.A.M.B. a look of casual glamour with a touch of punk. Here, Stefani wears a Modal rayon T-shirt and denim pants. For more on her new label, see pages 6 and 7.

  • Le Calendrier 2017 Présenté À Paris Par Peter Lindbergh
    DOSSIER DE PRESSE PIRELLI : LE CALENDRIER 2017 PRÉSENTÉ À PARIS PAR PETER LINDBERGH Rendez-vous sur www.pirellicalendar.com pour accéder aux contenus exclusifs sur la nouvelle édition de The Cal™ Paris, le 29 novembre 2016 – Le Calendrier Pirelli 2017, réalisé par Peter Lindbergh, grand nom de la photographie sur la scène internationale, a été présenté aujourd’hui à Paris. L’édition 2017 du Calendrier, qui suit celle de 2016 signée Annie Leibovitz, fait du virtuose allemand de la photographie le seul photographe à avoir été invité pour la troisième fois à réaliser le Calendrier Pirelli, après l’édition de 1996, mise en scène dans le désert El Mirage, en Californie, et l’édition 2002, réalisée dans les studios de la Paramount Pictures, à Los Angeles. Sans oublier le cinquantième anniversaire du Calendrier, en 2014, à l’occasion duquel Pirelli fit de nouveau appel à Peter Lindbergh, aux côtés de Patrick Demarchelier. Si l’on tient compte des années de pause dans sa publication, le Calendrier Pirelli, né en 1964, en est cette année à sa quarante-quatrième édition. Le photographe lui-même tient à expliquer le fil conducteur du Calendrier Pirelli 2017: «A une époque où les femmes sont représentées par les médias et partout ailleurs comme des ambassadrices de la perfection et de la beauté, j’ai estimé qu’il était important de rappeler à tous qu’il existe une autre beauté, plus réelle et authentique, non manipulée par la publicité ou autre. Une beauté qui exprime l’individualité, le courage d’être soi-même et la sensibilité».

  • Underskincriticalessay.Pdf (168.4Kb)
    Under Skin Emma Heidorn Honors Senior Thesis May 15, 2013 Abstract: There is a line between fact and parable, and the greatest writers of travel have unabashedly and purposefully ignored it in search of the subtle poetry just beneath the surface. This collection of non-fiction essays is about travel. More completely, it is about finding solace in the unknown, and offers that quintessential search through the eyes of a female. It explores the cadence amidst words, the melody of heading elsewhere and the subtle nuances of venturing into strange places. It grapples with what it means to feel nostalgia for things never experienced and to desire that untamed something that lies just below the surface. It offers a woman’s perspective on the art of wandering into the unknown. Under Skin: A Critical Essay of Gender and the Travel Narrative Bruce Chatwin holds the old animal skin—“thick and leathery, with strands of coarse, reddish hair”—of what his grandmother tells him is a brontosaurus, and he becomes indelibly fascinated with the art of travel. He proceeds to write a brilliant narrative about his journey on foot through the wild and ancestral landscape of Patagonia. John McPhee jets between Louisiana, Iceland and Los Angeles to tell the universal tale of man’s hubris against the almighty wrath of nature. Hunter S. Thompson joins rough riding Hell’s Angels to find the true story behind of the most infamous motorcycle gang. Tom Wolfe absorbs himself in the cultural fringe of Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters, follows the group of wanderers and free spirits through trips and tokens of disillusionment, and authors one of the most enlightening accounts of American youth culture.

Not only did Aladdin Sane, Bowie’s sixth studio album, usher in the series of bold musical innovations that would launch him into rock-and-roll legendry, the introduction of the Aladdin Sane persona —“a lad insane”—signaled a performative instability that would continue to inspire, frustrate, and titillate fans and critics even after his death. This essay explores opportunities for tarrying with—rather than reducing or trying to pin down—that instability and critiques what seem to be inexhaustible efforts to do just that.

    ATELIER PARISIEN D’URBANISME - 17, BD MORLAND – 75004 PARIS – TÉL : 0142712814 – FAX : 0142762405 – http://www.apur.org ENQUÊTE SUR LE COMMERCE ASIATIQUE AUX OLYMPIADES Quartier des Olympiades – Diagnostic urbain Mars 2003 RÉSUMÉ En 2002, 65% des commerces de détail (sur les 328 recensés) du quartier Olympiades/Villa d'Este sont asiatiques. Par ailleurs, l'ancienne gare des Gobelins, recouverte par la dalle des Olympiades, abrite un marché de demi-gros dédié essentiellement aux produits asiatiques. Par l'importance qu'il a pris depuis vingt ans, jusqu’à devenir une des destinations touristiques de Paris, le commerce asiatique des Olympiades constitue un enjeu pour la définition d'une stratégie d'intervention dans ce secteur clas- sé comme site prioritaire du « Grand projet de renouvellement urbain » de la couronne de Paris. On entend par « commerce asiatique », un commerce tenu par une personne de nationalité ou d'o- rigine asiatique, dont la clientèle et les produits vendus sont majoritairement d'origine asiatique, dont l’enseigne est rédigée dans une langue d'Asie. Objet et méthode. La présente étude décrit le fonctionnement et le rayonnement du commerce asiatique dans le sud du 13e arrondissement, et ses incidences sur la vie urbaine locale. L'analyse s'appuie sur l'exploitation de fichiers sur le commerce (BDCom), sur l'activité (Sirene), sur la population et l'emploi (recensements de la population), ainsi que sur des enquêtes de terrains : relevés, questionnaires, entretiens. Les enquêtes et leurs exploitations ainsi que la cartographie ont été réalisées par des étudiants du DESS de l'Institut Français d'Urbanisme (Paris 8).
