Lancel: The Paris Party for the 135 Years Old of Lancel


November 24th, Lancel organised a big party in its huge Champs-Elysées flagship, to celebrate the house’s 135 years old. At the entrance, the usual paparazzi fauna waiting for peolpeand Paris socialites, editors in chief and bloggers from all around the world, including your favourite blogger (me, without myself and I, lol!). Sorry you won’t find any celebs here, darling you’re visiting a fashion blog, not a gossip blog!). But let me tell you babe, there were many French actresses like the charming Louise Bourgeois, several French TV hotsts and some international celebs like Sienna Miller… Pictures above : Mark Ronson, the famous producer of Amy Winhouse, which is also a musician and a DJ. Pictures 2, 3 & 4 : Marc Lelandais, the CEO of Lancel and Alison Le Borges, the superb new ambassador of Lancel and Leonello Borghi, the Creative Director of Lancel . Pictures 4, 5 & 6 : the feisty Nica Broucke, the ELLE Belgie Editor, with a new friend, the lobster. En communication avec Bruxelles, Jean-Pierre Tordeurs, Editor of Paris Match Belgique and the smiling Trui Moerkerke, Editor of Knack. And last, but not least, two top bloggers “Sopa styleee”, comparing their big cameras (lol!) : me and my buddy Sofie (Fashionata)! And our muse, the peacock baby!

Hermès, Brussels: The Opening of Barthelemy Toguo’s Exhibition, “The Well Water”

Few things I know about Barthélémy Toguo… The colorful barrels represent his childhood : “when I was a kid, I used to bring water at home, it was hard. I paint barrels with colors to bring fun“. The scales with iron nails, on the walls, or the ones painted (pictures below) : “Each scale representes a lifelong journey“. Some ladders have more rungs and iron nails… The African proverbs that pursue “universality“, selected excerpts : “Heart is not a knee that we can bend”, “Say yes won’t stop the one who refuses to refuse”… Brillant, as those draws showing “what we have in head” and  “this wall was empty“. The entire series represent fifty draws. Me : “I know I ‘ve recently seen some of your artwork. I can’t remember where…” Amused he anwsers me : “At the Biennale de Lyon, coffins…

Me : “Yes! Of course, near the entrance! I knew your name reminded me things!”. I won’t discribe you the audience around, looking at me as if I was a poor E.T. lost in the middle of nowhere! I’ve always wanted to understand why some grown-up people need to adore (like teenagers) an artist, a politician, a model, guru, or everything-supposed-to-be-a- human-being, granted of a talent and/or a charism. And for sure Barthélémy Toguo’s got the both, talent and charisma, famous artist of the contemporary art scene. But happy poor minded like me,  who never reads a line about the artist of the exhibition he watches. I watch, it’s the principe of an exhibition, isn’t it? And if I enjoy it, I read or chat with the artist. And I won’t show you the “Shower life” happening too. When everybody was shooting like mad the performance in the great space of La Verrière, in the Hermès shop. I believe that the first interest of a performance is to be present and attend the live, not to be watched in streaming. A meteor meeting with the univers of a prolix artist, his artwork, my vision, your curiosity… Enjoy!

Infomations : La Verrière, Hermès, 50 boulevard de waterloo, Bruxelles 1000, Phone : + 32 (0)2 511 20 62. Exhibition from Novembre 4th till December 17th 2011, open from monday to saterday, from 11 a.m. till 6 p.m.

Mini Wales Challenge: Discovering Wales in a different way

 

This moorning, I’d had to go to Wales to participate to the Mini Wales Challenge with bloggers from different part of the world. After a serious problem happened last night, I couldn’t join my team. I am very sad and dear Mini Wales Challenge’s organizers and bloggers team, please accept my apologies for this unexpected situation and the inconvenience. I would have a lot of fun to discover this amazing country in those exceptional circumstances. I am extremly disappointed not to be able to join you. But let’s stay positive: during the five days of the event, I’ve decided to make us discover what would be my itinerary in Wales!
