EXPOSITION HUMEUR — J.M. WESTON
J.M. Weston s’expose! Au coeur de son hôtel particulier, la célèbre marque de souliers expose de concert le travail minitieux de ses artisans et celui d’artistes contemporains. Les époques et les styles se chevauchent. La scénographie de l’accrochage joue avec le côté classique du lieu au milieu de néons et autres luminaires modernes, invitant ainsi a la contemplation d’un travail de haute précision de tout âge et de son temps...
« Humeurs », parce que les artisans travaillent le cuir en « humeur » (légèrement humidifié), parce que les artistes ont imaginé les modèles selon leur humeur et parce que les modèles imaginés seront portés au gré des humeurs…
Conception : J.M. Weston - Corinne AppScénographie : Jean-Michel Bertin et Michaël Huard

ERIC SCHAUB'S CHRISTMAS SHOPPING LIST!
"Let's Get Lost" came to be seen less as a portrait of a talented, troubled artist than an invitation to read every crease in Baker'sonce-pretty face, every lovelorn lyric he sang and every moody melody he played as an intimation of doom. Was Baker's end a suicide? Murder? An accident precipitated by the drug abuse that, along with music, had been the major motif in Baker's life?

KARL LAGARFLED'S FILM HOMAGE TO COCO CHANEL!
A glamorous, big-budget short film of the silent variety will premiere in Paris this week, and it’s all due to Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld, who donned a director’s hat and let rip his encyclopedic knowledge of Gabrielle Chanel’s early years.The 10-minute movie will be screened at Le Ranelagh theater on Wednesday night, along with a showing of Chanel’s Paris-Moscow, a luxury pre-fall ready-to-wear collection embellished by the couture ateliers Chanel owns.
“Today, people are ready for silent movies again, as they spend time looking at text messages and e-mails,” says Lagerfeld. “I always loved silent movies.”
The designer gathered some familiar members of his entourage, including model Brad Koenig and his bodyguard/private secretary Sébastien Jondeau (mustachioed and surly as a Russian nightclub owner), for the cast, along with model Edita Vilkeviciute, her gamine allure, jutting chin and ramrod posture creating a beguiling portrayal of the young Coco from 1913, when the legendary designer first set up shop. As reported in WWD Nov. 17, Tallulah Ormsby-Gore plays a Chanel model who has to sell her real-life mother, Lady Amanda Harlech, a hat in the film. Even the workers in the Chanel atelier got to play parts as workers in the fashion house.
”The second part of the film takes place in 1923, when Chanel was already established, and is interspersed with newsreel images from the First World War. The plot, conveyed with title cards, involves a fascinating cast of characters, many tied to Russia, including Chanel’s lover the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, from whom she borrowed the pea jacket and pelisse, giving them a feminine touch. “It’s a funny movie, unpretentious,” says Lagerfeld. “Chanel was a charming woman, at liberty to seduce men. Everybody this year has decided to make a movie about Chanel, and you know their historical worth is not always too exact.”Lagerfeld’s mini movie took two days to shoot in a studio on the outskirts of Paris, and was “made like a Hollywood production,” the designer says. “I had every image in my head.” As for the collection he will show, he says it will be “constructed,” incorporating elements of imperial Russia and Russian folklore.

MC DO FOR BOBO!
Haute burgers in the Barbès badlands. This modern/nostalgic French bobo version of an American diner is a short walk from the skanky Barbès metro, a quick trot up the rue de Clignancourt. The building is pretty impressive-looking- a former print shop, three stories of glass and white concrete at the intersection of three streets, in a gentrifying neighbourhood, at the bottom of almost-Montmartre. The service, all-female, attitude wrapped up in tight designer jeans is friendly enough, the crowd, chain-smoking yuppies with kids, gays, creative types, etc etc , the music vintage '60's soul and pop. The burgers, perhaps more interesting on the menu than in real life, come with a number of luxe/comfort extras like foie gras, truffles, San Daniel ham, bacon, satay sauce, and accompanying salads, chinese noodle (strange taste and texture), coleslaw, beetroot and raifort,etc.

40 YEARS EXHIBITION OF THE "MAISON RYKIEL"!
"I'm an impostor in fashion. I've never studied sewing, I don't know how to knit and despite all that I've become the queen of knitted clothes. If that is not imposture, I don't know what is."
"Ten years after starting out, I said to myself: they're going to realise that I'm not a professional... but nothing happened at all, so I carried on."
"I don't revolutionise. Ever. I evolve."

GIMME.... MAMA SHELTER! BRAND NEW ORIGINAL HOTEL IN PARIS!
Using the multimedia solutions of DirectStreams and the designs of Philippe Starck and Roland Castro, the Trigano family is democratizing high-end hotels with today's most innovative and trendiest hotel concept!
The Trigano family, co-founders of Club Med, has once again decided to shake up traditional ways of thinking and to bring a breath of fresh air into the hotel market by seeking out well-known avant-garde professionals to establish an innovative concept on the occasion of the launch of "Mama Shelter" in Paris (20th arrondissement).
These tourism specialists have surrounded themselves with the top experts in their respective fields: the overall architecture was entrusted to Roland Castro and the interior was designed by Philippe Starck.
The objective: provide hotel guests with direct, simple and fun access from their rooms and common areas using a single terminal, the Apple Imac, with a complete range of digital services (HDTV, music, radio, CD, films, DVDs, Internet, etc.).
An outstanding hotel with 172 "digital rooms", 2 business centers and a world exclusive for the Mama Shelter restaurant-bar: the exclusive Mama Shelter iBooth solution.
Each of the hotel's 172 rooms has its own 24-inch "iMac multimedia center" with easy access to a wide range of digital services: in addition to the classic features of the iMac and music and DVD players, access is also provided to 29 digital TV channels, 20 radio stations and all of the DirectStreams solutions (Internet telephony, etc.). This ultimate "digital room" experience will seduce even those who are most resistant to new technologies!
And finally there is the restaurant-bar, where you can savor the originality of the menu designed by chef Alain Senderens. It, too, is equipped with the latest DirectStreams innovation, available exclusively to Mama Shelter: the iBooth. This is a solution (also using the iMac) that allows visitors to take "instant" pictures and see them distributed in the lobby and rooms. Conceived and realized for Mama Shelter by DirectStreams in collaboration with Jeremie Trigano, iBooth is simple and fun and offers everyone the opportunity to become part of the history of the place and its decor by leaving a sign of their stay at the hotel...
Welcome!

On one of the 17th-century streets behind place des Vosges, a pair of cramped but cozy dining rooms filled with memorabilia from Provence make up this loud and somewhat raucous bistro. The service is brusque and sometimes hectic. But the food will remind you of a visit to your French grandmother's kitchen -- dishes such as shrimp with pastis sauce, brouillade des pleurotes (baked eggs with oyster mushrooms), spinach salad with goat cheese, fondue of ratatouille, gratin of mussels, and simple but savory magret (breast) of duck with rosemary.
