Manish Arore: fashion

Great fashion show in Stockholm and my Indian adventure that's starting with Manish Arore - living between Paris and New Delhi. A wonderful man, fun, happy and down to earth despite his huge international success. Check the dresses here:

Some winter pics from Stockholm

... and the metro station:

Anders Zorn

One of Sweden's leading artists from last century: Anders Zorn is shown in Stockholm this fall:

His self-portrait, nature and his well-known women in the Orient. His depiction of water is his high-light.

Princesse de Montpensier

Tavernier's last movie "La Princesse de Montpensier" is beautiful: the scenery, the acting, the dresses...
A bit too much fighting for my taste though.

CHIN

Chin and four centuries of ceramics. From Korea to Japan a family Odyssey of fifteen generations of ceramists are shown on the lovely "hôtel particulier" at Mitsukoshi-Etoile, close to the Champs-Elysées in Paris. It's not a very frequented place and I could stroll around without the crowds obscuring the objects. A feast for the eye and the soul!

David Hockney

David Hockney's drawings on iphone and ipad shown at the Fondation Yves St Laurent made me want to get one of those just to be able to draw while traveling, or just sitting on the metro... so beautiful and fun! Forget about the paper, water-colours, water, brushes... you can do that later at home!

The documentary "L'amour fou" about their life together is also worth seeing with pics from their interior, the dresses, the shows... It will come out on dvd beginning january 2011 if you've missed it at the cinema.
