Marni: tonight opening of the new store in New York

 

No no! This time I didn’t loose my invitation card (bad habit I get during fashion weeks!). I am simply not in New York to attend at the opening of the new Marni shop. Too bad! I’m a huge fan of Marni accessoires spring-sum 09 collection! Shoes, sunglasses, bags and jewels are gorgeous! So if you’re based in NY or just in travel, have a look to the “special outfits and accessoires selection exclusively created for the opening celebration of the Marni shop” (press relase). This new space is an ancien art gallery, transformed by Consuelo Castiglione (the gifted fasion designer of Marni) and the Sybarite’s architects. Well I guess I will have to discover it next time in Big Ap!

Marni: 21 East 67th Street, New York.

Marni: l’ouverture de la nouvelle boutique à New York

Cette fois pas d’invitation égaréee perdue (une terrible habitude!), c’est juste que je ne suis pas à New York pour assister à l’inauguration de la nouvelle boutique Marni ce soir même. Dont je suis fan de la collection d’accessoires été 2009: les chaussures, lunettes et sacs sont superbes ! Alors, si vous êtes de passage dans Big Ap, dès demain allez découvrir – je cite le dossier de presse – la “sélection spéciale de vêtements et des accessoires créé exclusivement pour la célébration de l’ouverture de la boutique Marni”. L’aménagement de cet espace de 800 métres carrés, initialement galerie d’art, a été pensé par Consuelo Castiglioni (talentueuse créatrice de Marni) et les architectes de Sybarite (cabinet d’architecture anglais, aux réalisations et projets futuristes assez fous). Enjoy! 

Marni: 21 East 67th Street, New York.

Antwerp: “Paper Fashion” Exhibition at MoMu, the Fashion Museum

Till August the 16th 2009, at the Antwerp Fashion Museum, MoMu: “Paper Fashion“. A samll museum with really refined exhibitions. Who’s ever known Tapa? Me absolutely not! Tapa is the pioneer of paper, made by the Ituri, Pygmy of Congo. Matter softer than Papyrus, painted by women under hallucinogenics. Wow! A resume of men history in an exhibition gathering pop art, artists, fashion designers, restoration of Japanese Edo era’s clothes etc… A real pleasure! The scenography is simple and fun. An eclectic walk in times and cultures for our eyes. « Light » as a sheet of paper! And for all like me who doesn’t read captions at exhibitions, enjoy reading the small booklet at a table outside, under the spring sunshine! Quick and interesting! MoMu: Nationalstraat28/B, 2000 Antwerp
