AnOther Smell

AnOther Magazine is introducing their first fragrance- AnOther 13. These non traditional perfume images are self portraits by the talented and amazing photographer Lina Scheynius. She explains in a short interview how she just checked into a five star Hotel with a couple of Chloe outfits, started playing around, shooting on polaroids all by herself. As simple as that I want to smell as beautiful as these images ended up.

Tout, terriblement

Oh, Yves.

Some people have this strange power. A power that makes everybody fall in love with them, even without knowing them personnally. Something beyond charm. Jean-Paul Gaultier, Charlotte Gainsbourg have it. And my friend Ioana too.

The man who designed exquisite clothes and said exquisite things such as "The most beautiful garment a woman can ever wear is the arms of the man she loves." had a 50 year-long relationship with Pierre Bergé, a businessman/pygmalion/poet/art collector (700 pieces he sold after Yves Saint Laurent's passing).

Pierre Bergé declared once "Yves is never happy. He is only happy a few hours a year, during the presentation of his collection." It is this perpetual torment that lead him to create some of the most iconic clothes (the Safari Jacket, smoking...) for his muses - Loulou de la Falaise, Betty Catroux, Talitha Pol-Getty, Catherine Deneuve...

On September 22nd, the documentary about Pierre and Yves' relationship "Un amour fou" by Pierre Thoretton will come out.

Love and Haute Couture... Let me slip in my Mondrian dress I don't own, and I'm there!

Nagi Noda

There are a few things I am painfully ashamed of. To name a few: geography, mental arithmetic, talking with a pen hanging from my mouth and... modern art.

(and jazz and classical music).

Anyway, the lovely Georgia showed a couple of images from the late Japanese artist/video director/designer Nagi Noda (1973-2008).

Her hair hats are the most amazing thing ever: creepy, beautiful, funny, poetic, a bit revolting.

Her videos combine perfectly humour and aesthetics. Forget about Jane Fonda, work out with poodles!

Panic It Is

Let me introduce you to Tish & Snooky, the coolest sisters ever. The girls opened in the 70ies MANIC PANIC the first punk style boutique at St. Marc's Place, NYC. It quickly became the to-go-to place, introducing the wildest hair colors and the most shocking nail polishes to their customers.

Tish & Snooky played in the original Blondie lineup and kept performing as Sic F*uck together with Patti Smith or at CBGB'S closing party.The Manic Panic boutique was as important to the punk scene as Westwood's -McLarens Sex store and reached an iconic status. "New York had never seen anything as cool as MANIC PANIC!"

Today MANIC PANIC is distributed all over the world, which gives us losers the chance to re-live the 70ies and to keep the spirit alive with a never ending come back. I don't know about you, but I will definitely get my hands on some crazy neon lipstick and matching eye shadow. Where? Opening Ceremony carries these beauties for you!
