    In the middle of nowhere IT: Buongiorno! Come state? Avete passato bene il weekend prolungato? Io sono rimasta a casa, ho fatto l’albero e ho decorato l’esterno della casa. Domenica sono andata con Piero a vedere un bosco in Slovenia, di solito la gente normale passa le domeniche in famiglia o va in giro, io, invece, le passo nei boschi Eravamo in un posto che è tagliato fuori dal mondo e dove non c’era il guardrail…solo Piero è capace di trovare posti così sperduti e dimenticati?? All’inizio ho pensato di non pubblicare queste foto, perchè non sono venute proprio benissimo, le abbiamo fatte velocemente, perché fuori erano quasi 0 gradi. Spero che comunque vi piacciano. Vi auguro buon mercoledi! EN: Hello! How are you? I have spent the weekend at home, I did the tree and I decorated outside the home. On Sunday I went with Piero to see a forest in Slovenia, the usual, normal people pass Sunday in family or around, instead I pass Sunday in the forests We were in a place that is cut outside the world and where not even a guardrail, only Piero is capable of to find places so astray and forgotten ?? At the beginning I thought about not to publish these photos, because there are not the best, we have done them quickly, and outside were almost 0 degrees. I hope that however you like it. I wish you good Wednesday! SI: Zivijo! Kako ste? Jaz sem vikend prezivela doma, sem okrasila drevo in zunanjost hise. V nedeljo pa sva si sla s Pierotom ogledati en gozd v Slovenijo, obicajno normalni ljudje prezivijo nedelje v krogu druzine ali odzunaj, jaz pa jih prezivljam v gozdovih Sla sva si ogledat en gozd, odrezan od sveta, kjer ni niti obcestne ograje, samo Piero je zmozen dobiti kraje, ki so pozabljeni in odrezani od sveta?? Na zacetku sem mislila, da ne objavim teh fotografij, ker niso prov najboljse, smo jih na hitro naredili, ker je bilo odzunaj okrog 0 stopinj.

    Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture By Xiaoyu Elena Wang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Professor Shannon C. Stimson Professor Ramona Naddaff Professor Julia Q. Bryan-Wilson Spring 2015 Abstract Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture by Xiaoyu Elena Wang Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Every January and June, the most exclusive and influential sector of the global apparel industry stages a series of runway shows in the high fashion, or, couture capitals of New York, Milan, London and Paris. This dissertation explores the production of material goods and cultural ideals in contemporary couture, drawing on scholarly and anecdotal accounts of the business of couture clothes as well as the business of couture models to understand the disquieting success of marketing luxury goods through bodies that appear to signify both extreme wealth and extreme privation. This dissertation argues that the contemporary couture industry idealizes a mode of violence that is unique in couture’s history. The industry’s shift of emphasis toward the mass market in the late 20th-century entailed divestments in the integrity of garment production and modeling employment. Contemporary couture clothes and models are promoted as high-value objects, belying however a material impoverishment that can be read from the models’ physiques and miens. 1 Table of Contents I.

British rocker Peter Frampton grew up fast before reaching meteoric heights with Frampton Comes Alive! She downplays her interactions with Bill Cosby in this book, which was published before metoo. Now a monk, he is forced to return to his dark and absurd childhood home to clear his name. Being that I am infatuated with the 70's and I had to take a break from all the death and dismemberment I've been reading about as of late, I bought a copy of her book, thinking it would be quick, light on-the-potty reading, full of fun gossipy tidbits about my favorite decade and all the beautiful people who were there.

  • The Independent Magazine September 2003 P. 6-10 Foreign
    The Independent Magazine September 2003 p. 6-10 Foreign bodies Think Nineties grunge-chic, and you’re probably thinking of a Juergen Teller Image. But, as the photographer tells Sebastian Smee, while he’s still fascinated with the wilder shores of fashion, his work is moving ever closer to home. Portrait by Gautier Deblonde THIS ONE will take some explaining. The photographer Juergen Teller pauses for a good 10 seconds, then ruffles his hair. I have asked about the circumstances that gave rise to the somewhat surreal image you see above. The sprouting flora, I have already learnt, is not an overgrown hedge: it’s a resplendent version of the artist Jeff Koons’s most famous work. Puppy. Nor is that a discarded Barbie doll straddling one of its ears: it’s the American supermodel Stephanie Seymour. This, as it happens, is Seymour’s place in Connecticut: her freshly mown lawn, her Puppy, and — not far out of shot — her 100 horses, her two swimming pools, her world- class collection of haute couture, her collection of late 20th-century art... “I guess I met Stephanie around ‘94,” begins Teller. We are on the ground floor of his studio and home in London’s Ladbroke Grove. A table in the middle of the room is piled with prints of photographs. There is a scale model of a gallery on the floor, which Teller and his assistants are using to plan the hanging of his September exhibition at Milton Keynes Gallery; at the far end of the room is a doorway and stairs leading up (to his studio) and down (to his living quarters).

    BodyBeauty Von Anfang an in Form Das Ballett-Work-out kombiniert Elemente aus Pilates, Yoga, Tanz und Stretching- Positionen – das Schöne dabei: Sie brauchen dafür keine Tanzerfahrung ugegeben: Zu den perfekten Kurven eines Victoria’s-Secret- Models gehört ein bisschen mehr als das ideale Training. Doch ab sofort erscheint die offenbar optimale Kombi aus langen, ­definierten Muskeln und einer schlanken, weiblichen Silhouette nicht mehr unerreichbar. Wir lüften das Geheimnis! Nicht nur die Laufstegschönhei- Zten, auch Hollywoodstars wie Taylor Swift oder Zooey Deschanel hat das Ballettfieber gepackt. Sie denken an rosa Tüll-Tutus und klassischen Tanzunterricht? Weit gefehlt: In neuen Programmen wie „Ballet Beautiful“, gegründet von Star-Trainerin Mary ­Helen Bowers, geht es vor allem darum, gezielt die Tiefenmuskulatur zu beanspruchen und parallel eine grazile, zarte Figur zu formen. Ballett, Yoga und Pilates vereinen sich dafür zu einem innovativen Konzept. Sie haben keine Tanzerfahrung? Kein Problem! Es geht vielmehr um das neue Körpergefühl, den Spaß und vor allem Schweiß – denn ja, auch wenn die Resultate elfengleich aussehen: Das Ballett-Work-out ist definitiv herausfordernd. BEAUTYtalk schaut für Sie hinter die Kulissen des Fitnesstrends! »Ballet Beautiful hat meinen Körper transformiert.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.
