The first day in Myanmar was all about the capital city- Yangon. Full of new experiences, views and photographs, Yangon was surely magnificent with it’s amazing gold Shwedagon Pagoda. Covered with more than 70 tons of gold, this Pagoda is the biggest religious centre of Buddhism. You may offer Buddha your own Jasmine flower branch on your day-of-birth corner, and have a wish! If you are in Myanmar, this place is the must see one. Not only for experience, but also for some spiritual happiness!
Villa Kennedy, one of the Rocco Forte hotels, is located in a quiet Frankfurt neighbourhood surrounded with beautiful old buildings and parks. The hotel is kept in Colonial, a bit artistic way- full of wood and modern sculptures, it makes you feel like at home… Or even better! And, no wonder, the Villa is full of John Kennedy canvas photographs, making it feel pretty American. The restaurant is great with it’s Italian cuisine, and rooms are comfortable (and the balconies are really big!). This is certainly a lovely place.
Karen Walker did the most outstanding campaign of SS14 campaigns. The Visible Collection was inspired and styled by Kenyan artisans. What’s best, the eyewear is presented not on typical models, but on local, Kenyan people who really know how to wear these glasses… Matched with braids, African jewellery and colourful attitude, the collection’s sale will go on Kenyan fundaution that will help improve the schools and things needed there. I simply can’t get enough of this.
Jean Francois Lepage looks for unbalanced in his photographs. So he reworks his negatives with a knife to create strange images that can now be seen in Inside the mirror exhibition in Galerie Made, Paris. Jean-François Lepage does fashion photography on the razor’s edge. His images, with their bare compositions – solitary figures, no accessories, immersed in an endless lunar landscape or a vast, almost empty white house – express a brand of minimalism seldom seen in fashion photography. They are strangely motionless, as if suspended in a time and space where women are beings possessed by dreams, living in a world where the photographer, the model and the viewer’s imagination project and come together.
