Paris
L’Ange Du Bizarre
This my first day in Paris 😃 and because it’s Sunday, no shops are working! So, I visited today a great exhibition called The Angel of The Odd. It was all about monsters, perversive women in art like Medusa or Cleopatra, Goya and Max Ernst! This exhibition was a masterpiece! Beautiful, but dark and mystery paintings accompanied with Frankenstein movie! There were also great Victor Hugo sketches and spiritual photography where real ghosts were seen! Creepy! But the worst part were all these sadistic drawings- like from taken from horrors…
Also at Musee D’Orsay I went only to the Claude Monet and Impressionist part as always it was fantastic and beautiful. And, for reminder, I saw the whole buliding of D’Orsay. The clock? My favourite!

Tisci and Friends
I think Riccardo Tisci really got a rotweiller in his ass (in a good way of course)! Tisci is the creative director of Givenchy and is one of the most influencial menswear and womenswear designer from Paris. He is known for prints (Rottweiler, flowers, Madonna, Jesus, etc.) and street inspired clothing. And it’s not the end. He had his two whole interviews and editorials in Self Service and GQ (the one I’m showing is from Self Service), will design ballerina costumes for Bolero in one of the most known Parisian opera, makes friends with Kanye West and Jay-Z and if like it wasn’t enough, he created amazing scene costumes for Rihanna’s Diamond Tour. Crazy, isn’t it?
In the Self Service editorial Tisci is in his Atelier Givenchy “house” in Paris (it’s on Avenue George V, the building is next to Balenciaga boutique) siting on black sofa with his favourite model Joan Smalls and his friends from the runways. Of course every one wears pre-fall 2013 collection. And here I’ve got some backsatge pics from recent Givenchy show- full of grunge, romantic vibes, prints and Givenchy spirit. I personally loved the collection! It is the real Parisienne chic!
