VANESSA BRUNO : LØV AT FIRST SIGH/

Director Stephanie Di Giusto wears her name perfectly.

FASHION FLICK : PRADAPHILE.

Sure, fashion friends and other Pradaphiles are gonna shout out at the art direction. But seriously. 13 years old caresses her leg until logo appears and so on... Overlooking the meaning of these images is simply saying : it doesn't mean anything, it's only fashion. It's sexy? I think not! This is not a candid situation. This was scripted, shot accordingly and edited so to maximize the impact of a message which is... ? Help me here.

YAMAMOTO MON AMOUR

Can't wait to hit the V&A to see it all.

MAGS & FAGS : SNAP!13

Still the best print/non-print pop publication to come out of Montreal since Vice.  
Mot en haut.

SNAP! WORKS!

I'm a fool for cool magazines.  But I'm the biggest snob too.  For years I was religiously reading my TheFace (R.I.P.), i-D (ground zero of so many trends still), exuberantly spreading my love of the first issues of Purple (...not anymore though) amazed by the online fantawebness of Tiger (R.I.P.) or the picture perfect but short-lived DUTCH (R.I.P.).  Today, have a look at Interview (the two years old Fabien Baron version) I stand by my seasonal issue of ACNE Paper (still my favourite), studying the why this mag is so special and what makes its photography so right on.  All my friends know that I've been contemplating the idea of editing that "other" magazine one day, the new one, the different one, the inspiring one.  But how do you create a true original one, which a chance to live on, out of Montreal ?  Alright, Vice did it, I know...

Until this day, I've never seen one that felt like it had captured the true inspiring spirit of the moment.  Not a single one... until today!  So Bravo to the editor of SNAP! and the talents inside.  If you can't find it, browse it online here.

ELLE Canada's April 2010 issue is publishing some images from inside Château Hutchison. They brought that cute girl along. Not too talkative but really cute.
