Brussels, Belgium: Swinging Silk of Hermès & Hunting and Collecting @ Mr Wong

Last night, it was the first party of Swinging Silk, hosted by Hermès and Hunting and Collecting at Mr. Wong. There were Hermès scarves everywhere (some really great!) and Rock’n’Roll looks and atmosphere: concert, dance class and snack like in Grease! The party theme reminded me the world of Jack’s Vintage Clothing, focus on the 50s and 60s America. Oops, but yesterday, I missed the point (lol): the dress code between pinup and Fonzy’s buddies! You could also get a tattoo (not a real one). Great evening with a taste of summer (too bad it was raining lol)!

Bruxelles: Soirée Swinging Silk d’Hermès et Hunting and Collecting, chez Mr Wong

Hier soir, c’était la première soirée Swinging Silk de la Maison Hermès et Hunting and Collecting, chez Mr Wong. Sur fond de carrés Hermès (dont certains superbes), ambiance et looks rétro Rock’n’Roll : concert, cours de danse et snack aux allures de “fête foraine”. Le thème m’a fait penser à l’univers de Jack’s Vintage Clothing, focus sur l’Amérique des années 50 et 60. Oups, autant pour moi, j’avais juste pas capté sur l’invit le dress code entre pin-up et potes de Fonzy! On pouvait aussi se faire tatouer (non définitif). Bref très chouette soirée, avec comme un avant-goût d’été (dommage qu’il pleuvait, lol)!

Hotel Lancaster celebrates Helmut Newton

When I was a kid, I discovered photography by a small exhibition in Paris, with pictures of Helmut Newton : it was a shock that changed my life! But this is another story… What the link between the Hôtel Lancaster, the famous Parisian palace hosted the mythical Marlene Dietrich and the bigger than life Helmut Newton? In 1976, in the Marlene Dietrich suite  of the Lancaster, the fashion photographer shot for Hermès, the « Saddle » series. What a small world!

– accommodation in one of the newly renovated rooms or suites, breakfast at La Table du Lancaster, two tickets for the exhibition “Helmut Newton” at the Grand Palais (every day except Tuesday, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.), the booklet of the exhibition and late check out at 15:00 to availability.
