Alaïa/grès exhibit at fondation alaïa paris

I loved the exhibition which presented Madame Grès and Azzedine Alaïa's pieces in conversation. This bit of the exhibition text struck a note: "When you find something that is personal and unique," said Madame Gres, "you must make the fullest possible use of it, pursuing its realisation wichout stopping until the end." Alaia echoed her words years later: "When an idea comes into your mind, you must capture it with a lasso and circle around it relentlessly." I liked how they saw couture as sculpture and I wondered if I should experiment with the sewing machine next. Something I am already considering. The place itself was small but lovely, with one of the most beautifu, cosy and quiet terrasses I have seen in a while, and well populated only by fashionable folks. Something similar to something I should open in Karachi, with artist studios upstairs perhaps. Grès' photographs of her dresses worn also touched me. I wonder how much of capturing imagination is image creation, and if this is a sign I should start experimenting with film now that I have an array of lenses from M. Chacha. Grès' story was also remarkable to me because of her true love for creation and art, and how she just opened a storefront and did not follow fashion week calenders. I wonder if I should too, just buy a storefront here and start my own thing, like Nazish and I were discussing on Saturday evening.

This is one of those shows that places greater emphasis upon the wearability of the garments and the beauty of the clothes in an everyday setting rather than beauty expressed through deliberate and pronounced social commentary. Yet the colour, form, shape, texture, and patterns were executed beautifully, and everything was styled in a way that convinces the viewer of the confidence in their beauty that these garments can manifest.

yasmin zaher - the coin

A novel about a Palestinian teacher in NYC slowly unraveling and getting involved in a Birkin bags scheme. First book this year I read in one sitting. Touching, weird, bleak, but funny and very real.
