I know it’s winter, but there’s this spring-summer trend already disturbing me. Did you noticed how creepy spring trends are ? First bone-bodies then this one, even creepier because apparently sweet and innocent. Bows and pastels and kittens and pink. Where’s the trick?
The trick is in this atypic reversal of the woman, a somewhat unresolvable [...]

… RV September issue will be the October or November issue. Because 1/ nobody cares about Fall fashion week with the next one coming 2/ I need much more time x). 3/ plus, why speak about Fall/Winter in SEPTEMBER ? Shopping, I know, but it’ll be really better to see it when the weather is [...]

…exhibition (again).
Venenous toughts from a bourgeoisie pretendly rebellious, noyée dans les pastels.
Dear god, save us from the hypocrites.

About rossovelvet 2.o :

- I changed the theme because I needed something more minimalistic, more classic, perhaps even relaxing. So some articles are a little weird, but I tried to correct them all !

L’innocente

Follow me on twitter !

Innocence doesn’t exist – or maybe, everyone has it : this is the message launched by Gabriele D’Annunzio in his second, dark yet very humorous – or at least cynical – novel. 1892, fin de siècle, Decadence-literature ( I must admit I’m obsessed by late Ottocento now, which is not entirely [...]

Vogue Italia is better than Aladdin’s lamp ! I mean, it’s been since a few weeks now that I’ve been infatuated – again – with The Steadfast tin soldier – remember ? A few weeks that this has been on my mind: images of red, and blue, and military jackets. Which is of course just [...]

Karl, this time you finally won. Venezianismi (very long reading xD)

Resort Chanel ! Karl made me the perfect assist to do an article I intended to do since a few days… because I’m in a total Visconti immersion right now. L‘innocente, le Notti Bianche, Rocco e i suoi fratelli, Gruppo di famiglia in un interno, Vaghe stelle dell’orsa, Ludwig. I know, it’s sounds kind of [...]

A lovely, lyrical, lilting name, like, uh… uh… [...] Lo-li-ta!

What is your current obsession ?

Tin soldiers. I‘m obsessed by the tale, by the toys – I‘ve been desperately searching a box of them, by the iconography… and their art & fashion & photography inspiration. Totally into it !
What is your weirdest obsession ?
Many of my obsessions are weird . Maybe the infatuation for [...]

From N-Y to Berlin

Transition between two cities: Wings of Desire über New-York instead of Berlin… or ?

A movie about humanity, walls, empathy, love. A movie about a city – about black&white, and colors. A [...]

The age of innocence & opening titles

Never heard of Saul Bass ? He’s the genius behind many, many movies’opening
titles. An art sometimes underestimated: opening sequences are most of the
times the pulsing heart of the movie. Anyway, if you’re interested, here’s
an outstanding book – I have it and find it utterly inspiring.
You’ll learn everything about Bass and others ’stars’ of that crazy [...]
