Interior design guru Axel Vervoordt shares his latest inspirations for the home. Axel Vervoordt’s intense curiosity has fueled his work as an interior designer, spurring him to explore and draw inspiration from cultures around the globe. He was first exposed to Eastern art and philosophy years ago, but today it has become the guiding principle in his work, particularly the concept of Wabi. Developed in the twelfth century, Wabi advocates simplicity and humility, the rejection of all that is superfluous or artificial. Through extraordinary photographs from Japan and Korea to Belgium and Switzerland, Vervoordt invites us to explore the elements that inspire him: natural materials and time-worn objects that evoke the essence of Wabi. Today, together with the Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki, Vervoordt carries the principles of Wabi into his remarkable interiors. As Vervoordt reveals how he infuses his current creations with a fundamentally oriental approach, interiors devotees will gain new insight from this tribute to the designer’s latest sources of inspiration for the home.

Comment Ivan Ivanovitch se brouilla avec Ivan Nikiforovitch
Автор: Gogol Nicolas Жанр: Flammarion Год: 2009 Страниц: 91 Дата загрузки: 9 февраля 20112011-10-07
|
|
Gogol est absolument unique dans l'histoire des littératures mondiales. Celles-ci comptent de nombreux humoristes mais aucun n'a exploité autant que Gogol le moyen de dire une chose en affirmant son contraire. En même temps, il manifeste un amour si profond de cette vie dont il semble se moquer, que son texte en prend un relief extraordinaire. Son humour n'est pas l'humeur d'un pisse-froid, d'un atrabilaire, d'un frustré. Il y a chez lui une joie de vivre qui le distingue d'un autre humoriste célèbre, mais sinistre dans son pessimisme systématique: Franz Kafka. Si Gogol s'exclame si continûment sur l'intelligence de ses personnages, c'est qu'il voudrait qu'ils fussent intelligents. Car il les aime, et il nous les fait aimer. Son humour ne les détruit pas, mais leur donne vie et couleur. Les deux Ivan ne sont que des pauvres types, qui se disputent pour un rien, vont en justice pour un rien, se sont préparés, pour un rien, une vieillesse lamentable, mais à aucun moment ils ne nous semblent être des caricatures. Ils restent intensément vivants, intensément vrais, grâce à la manière oblique qu'adopte Gogol pour nous montrer leur nullité. L'humour, précisément, transforme des êtres nuls en êtres de poésie. C'est là le miracle de cet auteur.

«A comprehensive history of high fashion in Paris from Madame Gres and Balenciaga to Yves Saint Laurent and Yohji Yamamoto, spanning all aspects from clothing and accessories to perfume. Ever since Charles Frederick Worth dressed the Empress Eugenie in the 1860s, launching a «golden century» for dressmaking, Parisian haute couture has been a source of endless admiration and fascination. Its emphasis on exquisite design and meticulous craftsmanship propelled it to the forefront of the fashion industry. The position and practices of haute couture may have evolved over time, but the work of many contemporary couturiers reveals a strong sense of continuity, from the creations of Jeanne Lanvin and Christian Dior, through to their modern counterparts in Jean-Paul Gaultier or Viktor & Rolf. This chronological study traces the history of the esteemed couture houses of Paris, examining the role of the designer and the extraordinary craftsmanship behind the finished creations, the place of haute couture in Parisian culture, and its influence in the wider fashion industry. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between haute couture and the client, as well as the dualities in modern haute couture — its sense of exclusivity and quasi-mythical aura countered by an ever-increasing reach into popular consciousness and attainability. This volume is richly illustrated with images of the most superb pieces created by exceptional designers. Various incarnations of Chanel's timeless quilted handbag, Fath's charmingly patterned silk scarves, and Poiret's elegant perfume bottles demonstrate that haute couture encompasses far more than just clothing.»

Georges Duroy est un down-and-out journaliste d'un humble arrière-plan qui construit une superbe montée au sommet de la société Parisienne grâce à ses relations avec les influents et les plus riches femmes. Tirer le maximum de son charme et de bon air (de ses admirateurs surnom lui “Bel Ami”), Duroy exploite les faiblesses des autres pour son propre avantage, dans le processus de trahir la femme qui a le plus pris en charge de façon désintéressée de lui. Publié en 1885, Bel Ami n'est pas seulement un portrait vivant d'un glamorously corrompus et à long disparu de Paris, mais aussi étonnamment moderne exposé de la destruction de la contrainte de l'ambition, de sexe et de pouvoir.
