When Kanye West Tried To Be Part Of The Paris Fashion Week (And Failed).
Every time I asked a fashion journalist what (s)he thought about Kanye West fashion show with his brand Yeezy, they literally run away from answering. The few I could still manage to catch by the arm told me it was without any interest. Then I wonder why magazines like Vogue do not try to be a bit more critic about certain things?

Mugler F/W 2020-21 – Your Body Is Your Temple
Last week was the Mugler Paris Woman FW 20-21 fashion show.

Artistic Director of the French Luxury house, Casey Cadwallader maintains the sulfurous reputation of Mugler fashion, by giving to women a over-powerful look, between the badass girl and…
Welcome To The New Gods of Fashion

Tik Tok: Shame On You
Everybody is talking about Tik Tok as if it was the new kid in town.

The merge of the two platforms helped gain international attraction leading Tik Tok up to 500 million monthly active users. It also became the most downloaded app since 2018. TikTok had an impressive year in 2019, bringing in over 738 million…

Here is where the opening this month of the JSBG Store in Lausanne is a great thing….

The idea of “Nocturne” in Classical Music
A Nocturne is usually a musical composition that is inspired by, or evocative of, the night. Historically, nocturne is a very old term applied to night Offices and, since the Middle Ages, to divisions in the canonical hour of Matins. The word Nocturne, in music, designates less a specific form of music than a poetic moment, a “musical moment”, of which the night is the pretext. Here is more about this specific exercise that made the great moments of the Romantism era. A Nocturne, A Moment Of…
