If you are in London this spring, do stop by the marvelous Natural History Museum to see Sebastao Salgado exhibition”the Genesis Project”. This itinerary project – exhibitions to be held around the globe, and from September 25th 2013 La Maison Européene de la Photographie in Paris – is the result of an epic 8 years expedition led by photographer Sebastao Salgado. Born in Brazil, nature lover Salgado has dedicated almost a decade and over 30 trips – by foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditions – to create an incredible collection of images in black and white depicting the Earth in all its beauty ( animals, vegetals, indigenous peoples…). The choice of black and white, to my opinion, brings majesty and an “eternal” feel to the pictures. The exhibition catalogue is also a must for all photo lovers with more than 500 pages, edited by Taschen.

Born into an artistic family, Mexican raised sisters Annette and Phoebe Stephens have drawn from their creative heritage DNA to design Aandra Neen jewellery and accessories.Their collections are born of cross-culture influences such as Japanese, Egyptian, Mexican of course but also European Bauhaus school…Nicole Richie, Jessica Alba or Drew Barrymore are aficionados and so we are!
My favorite is the two-toned clutch, simply gorgeous!

I have discovered Barbara Casasola long, fluide silhouettes in a british magazine a few weeks ago and instantly fell for her immaculate elegant style. There is something laid back yet sophisticated about her long floatty dresses and the drapés remind me of the work of Madame Grès …. Barbara Casasola is a young ( she is only 28!) Brazilian born, London-based designer graduated from the reknown St Martin School in London and the Istituto Marangoni in Milan and my intuition is she will be much talked about in the future :- )

La Cinémathèque Française in Paris is hosting until the 4th of August 2013 an exhibition about celebrated film director Jacques Demy. Demy was one of the major director of the French New Wave in the 50-60’s. His approach was very pop, musical, colourful, and fantaisy like, his major success “Les parapluies de Cherbourg," Les Demoiselles de Rochefort", or "Peau d’Ane" were inspired by American golden-age musicals, many songs composed by Michel Legrand , have become hits over the years, immortalized by actresses such as Catherine Deneuve .
Unlike his contemporaries like Jean-Luc Godard ou Alain Resnais, Demy was uninterested in the experimental works or the political agitation of the days. Jacques Demy’s films do a new take on the Hollywood musical and the French melodrama, with a touch of the psychedelic and humour, even impertinence…
The exhibition combines excerpts from his films with photographs, paintings, drawings and sculptures created by the artist himself as well as by artists whose influence he proclaimed (Jean Cocteau, David Hockney, Alexander Calder, Raoul Dufy, Niki de Saint-Phalle).
A must-see for all cinema lovers!
