I Love Japan
On March 29th, I went with my great friend Rike to a very special concert. Yoko Ono had invited her friends to perform with her for some exceptional Benefit concert at Le Poisson Rouge in Manhattan. I was curious and really wanted to see and hear her and I have to say, the line up was quite tempting. There was Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band, Sean Lennon, Patty Smith with Tony Shanahan, Lou Reed, Anthony Hegarty (from Anthony and the Johnsons) and Cibo Matto…
It was really an AMAZING evening. All the performers were incredible and all playing together, it was very spontaneous and had the feeling of a Jam session. In addition Le Poisson Rouge is a small venue so the musicians were very engaged with the crowd.
I was very touched by Yoko Ono. Although she is a conceptual artist, her song performances are really touching. You can feel her pain and frustration although she seems to have a very light-hearted personality.
Here is one song written by Yoko Ono and interpreted by Anthony. It is lovely and very appropriate in these circumstances…
And just because Yoko is such an unusual artist, here is a video of a performance that doesn’t quite translate in video.
Honestly, there were so may great moments that evening. One of them seeing all these fabulous artists coming together to raise money for Japan!
to donate money to Japan you can do so at the Red Cross here

The ghost who walks
I always liked Karen Elson as a model and I am very happy to discover her talent as a singer! This video is great! I really like it’s theatrical style, it’s aesthetic and it sounds… Enjoy!
here is a link to a great interview of karen Elson, by Charlotte Gainsbourg for Interview Magazine…
Cruise collections
It has been a while! I am back, or at least I will try…
So an interesting thing that is happening in fashion right now is how the houses are trying to find ways to be creative in showcasing their products. For example, there are more and more labels who are showing their show live on the internet. Burberry has done it a few seasons already, and even for last fall fashion week, had a live stream presentation in New York and Paris for a group of VIP. SHOWstudio.com presented Alexander Wang, and Ksubi was on Models.com.
the other HOT thing seems to have cool film directors make a movie for a brand… Prada already had a few collaborations , and most recently for their cruise collections, Chanel presented in Saint-Tropez, a film by none other than Karl Lagerfeld (he likes to do all these creative things in addition to designing the clothes, and it is not the first time he does it either!) , and Dior picked supercool David Lynch with Marion Cotillard with a set in trendy Shanghai (it is Dior second film with beauty Marion)…
I am not sure I find them so artful, but I let you be the judges!

Well, because it is a collaboration that I participated in and it is really great! That is what I think anyway… But I would also like to know what is your opinion.
