I love meeting designers whose passion for making people look fabulous is at the center of their creation. The two co-founders (Zoë Corsellis (Designer) and Louise Grimes (Head of Operations and Marketing)) of Corellis do just this. It is no surprise that Zoë has worked with Diesel StyleLab, Madeline Press and Dolce & Gabana, for Corellis is a mixture of the best of the best all in one piece. She brings out the girly in girls! All their Garments are made in the UK, and lucky for us, they deliever anywhere in the world!
Corsellis is not for the shy at heart, their 'strap-line' is "Enjoy the Attention x" This line is based on making you feel great and to treat yourselves to Hollywood glamour in all aspects of your life, with beautiful feminine prints and bolds designs that give you that alluring feeling you deserve. Feeling comfortable is top priority for Corsellis because each piece is made to get you noticed and stand out for all the right reasons. The label is designed with the high profile, chic girl in mind.
Fabulous Magazine, Celebs on Sunday (with their cover model wearing 'Corsellis Heart Shaped Dress') have featured their line and press can't stop taking about them. Zoë was a short-listed designer for Britain's 2008 Project Catwalk and was on stand-by for production. Pixie Lot is a regular buyer and has one (as well as others) of my favorites 'Bishop Sleeve Shift Dress' Their collection is available for purchase online, in stores and even made-to-measure, you get your very own dress made by Zoe.
You can find their collection at Top Shop Stores in Oxford Circus and online at Corsellis, TheLookBoutique, TOPSHOP

<p class="MsoNormal"><em>Text and Image: Aran Craven   </em><strong>    </strong>          </p><p class="MsoNormal">Late upon arrival and now, it appears, early to depart, summer’s
graces seemed to have slipped by Paris with out even a merci or an au’revoir.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But not to fret, art fans! September brings with it a bevy
of hot museum and gallery exhibitions to make you forget summer’s chilly
demeanor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the buzz among the contemporary art market insiders is
that Paris is set to be the new… well, Paris. What with entrepreneurial mega-art
dealer Larry Gagosian opening what will be his 9<sup>th</sup> gallery
world-wide, just off the Champs-Élysées during <a href="http://www.fiac.com/">FIAC</a>, Paris’ October
contemporary art fair, it would appear that the city is making a revival as a
new force in the international art market. Gauging by the powerhouse programs galleries
have planned for fall, Paris is more than prepared to meet the challenge.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the next two weeks, galleries across town will be
flooded with frenzy, as collectors, dealers, artists and enthusiasts return
from their holiday hibernations eager to mix, mingle and see what new creations
await. Galleries throughout Beaubourg and the Marais will be opening their
doors this Saturday evening September 4<sup>th</sup>, with an exciting
selection of contemporary talent.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">JGM Galerie presents two simultaneous solo exhibitions with
young, French artist, Chourouk Hriech’s “Cirrus and Ice Melody” and acclaimed,
American artist Laurie Simmons’ “The Love Doll: Jours 1-17” in what should make
for a compelling contrast, as well as boundary-bending exploration of reality
and imagination.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Galerie Magda Danysz also doubles your pleasure with
exhibitions by Christian Gonzenbach and Alain Delorme. An up and coming artist
in the Swiss contemporary art scene, Gozenbach’s multi-media projects are known
for their absurd, though arrestingly lucid representations of reality. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Art everywhere in
Belleville         <br /></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While this weekend holds much in store for cotemporary art
fans, it is only the beginning of what should be a thrilling season. Next week,
all the buzz is about Belleville’s Biennale. Straddling the border between the
19<sup>th</sup> and 20<sup>th</sup> arrondissement, Belleville is quickly
becoming home to a community of contemporary artists and cutting edge galleries.
The Biennale organizers endeavor to highlight both the area’s new artistic
talent, as well as the international culture of its largely immigrant
population.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Galleries are not the only venues in which to see top
contemporary art this fall. The Château de Versailles will continue its series
of mixing the old and the new as they host the Japanese artist and one-man
industry of Takashi Murakami in mid-September.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The list of jaw-dropping names continues with Musée d'art
moderne de la Ville solo exhibitions of Basquait and Larry Clark in October.
With an explosive Fall calendar as exciting as this, summer in Paris seems <em>so</em> last season.</p>

A quiet street around the corner from the Canal Saint Martin. A few up-market restaurants, trendy shops and bobo boutiques as well as a job agency, a workers union and a few ateliers that never seem to open; here lies the Alhambra. Not much goes on on in the daytime apart from kids smoking outside the Lycée a few doors down.
The atmosphere tends to change however when there’s a show in town but this is only five to fifteen times a month, so most of the time all is quiet but the infrequent performances stand out. Primarily a music venue, but sometimes moonlighting as a theatre the Alhambra attracts everything from Jazz Manouche to Electro. Previous performers include Calvin Harris, Dick Rivers and Sophie Huriaux.
The crowd that each artist attracts is particularly conspicuous. One hot July afternoon Japanese megastar Gackt arrived in town with his band Yellow Fried Chickenz to play to a packed Alhambra audience. Throughout the afternoon this normally chic and subdued area was transformed, by way of a significant amount of pink hair dye, knee length Dock Martins and long leather jackets, into Paris’ first punk arrondissement.
The Alhambra was opened in 2008 and it was seen as a modest resurrection of the old Alhambra, which was located nearby at 50 rue de Malte. The old theatre has impressive history. Built in 1866 it housed 2500 seats and hosted circuses, opera, theatre and music. It was one of Paris’ principle venues for a hundred years and as well as hosting some of the finest opera, classical music it was also a temple of Jazz in the 50s hosting the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. Due to financial reasons it was forced to close in 1967.
The new Alhambra is certainly far more humble venue but it has an air of class, with an art deco lobby, modern interior and quality sound and lighting. Also, its eclectic bill of performers and theatrical production is always worth checking out.It is only a small venue, with room for up to 800 (600 seated) and as such it is a fantastically intimate place, particularly when you consider seeing the likes of Calvin Harris performing.

No one really knows this mysterious chimpanzee who swings from building to building, spray cans and rollers at the ready. Like all superheroes, the artist who goes by the name of ‘Bonom’, wears a mask and never reveals his real identity. Scouring the city for large wall spaces, he prefers to work at night within the city’s shadows.
One of Paris’ most respected 'clandestine' artists, Bonom is also one of the
most prolific.
You may have seen his monumental works of
intricate animal skeletons and other creatures floating close to the
sky on the non-descript grey façades of various buildings. His works are dashed with an eerie quality making them instantly
recognisable. Most are found in the 11th district of Paris; if you look up at number 123, rue Vielle du Temple
in the Marais, you will see his enormous, somewhat gory, boar on a spit
(pictured above). For his minotaur you’ll have to go to rue de la Traversière
towards Ledru Rollin. As for the myriad fish bones and other animal figures, we
won’t spoil the surprise; they will without doubt jump out at you from hidden
corners when you least expect it.
The artist is also very present in Brussels and Luxembourg but little else
is know about him. Footage filmed by a Belgian television channel, shows him at work on a ten storey building -
the scale of the piece alone makes it one of the most impressive of his
works. In addition to his artistic skill, he is also nifty at climbing
and abseiling, enabling him to reach the most difficult spots well
away from City Hall's cleaning squads.
He explains that he loves his
figures to appear as though they are floating above the city, almost dancing.
For Bonom, the adrenaline rush comes from the ‘show’ that unravels as the sun rises and the unsuspecting waking population catches sight of the emerging painting, completed the night before.
In a short documentary realised by the Coup 2 Pouce Association, Bonom expresses his dislike at being
called a ‘graffiti' or 'street’ artist because he works in various mediums, not
just in the streets. In the documentary, he is shown to be creating a motion-sensitive light
painting after which he explains that like the light installation, the streets
are merely another vehicle for creation.
In June this year, Bonom’s street paintings led to his
arrest for vandalism in Brussels. Although the outcome is said
to be uncertain, it is clear that Bonom doesn’t just attract negative
attention. The media is smitten by him: “Does this bother you?” a reporter asks
him after his light painting installation. “No, it's just the logical
progression of things, isn’t it? I have done everything to get attention I
suppose, so now I can’t complain.” Time will tell if he will continue to paint
in the streets or under the bright spotlight of trendy art galleries.
Bonom’s arrest highlights interesting issues that often surface when we talk
about urban art that surrounds freedom of expression, the space given to
advertising and the definition of art. Many demand a decriminalisation of
graffiti. But do graffiti artists actually want the authorities to cut them some slack? Isn’t the element of illegality and danger half the
thrill? In an interview (above) with Lézarts Urbains’ Alain Papiower, the line
between crime and art is questioned. It seems that the two go hand in hand.
There is no ‘real’ graffiti without crime. The crime dimension increases the
challenge and the respect for the artist who succeeds. If Bonom’s works had
been commissioned by the council, his skill probably wouldn’t have earned the
same respect. To see the artist at work, watch this footage of him painting his infamous gorilla, which was filmed by a passer by one night in the centre of Brussels.
This medium of expression will not disappear; the authorities’ battle to
eradicate graffiti is in vain because street art will never really have
the same effect in a constrained context and time tells us that the movement is still very much alive. The element of
surprise, risk and respect is absent in the galleries; it has a completely
different artistic quality in the streets as graffiti or 'urban art' is largely inspired by street
features. For example, Bonom’s painting of a giant fox tumbling down the side
of a building in Brussels wouldn’t have the same sly mocking aspect and
wouldn’t entail the same skill if it were painted on a gallery wall. Is the
location of a painting then, what defines it as art?
At last year’s Né dans la Rue (Born in the Streets)
exhibition held at the Fondation Cartier, a huge throw-up by AMAZE was spray
painted onto the façade of the museum and it was called ‘art’ without any
qualms. Is it that graffiti becomes art only once you take it out of the
streets? This leads us to conclude that the debate surrounding urban art is a
lot more complex than trying to explain away its illegality.
Real graffiti artists – those who still go out chasing surfaces in the
streets – are often mixed up with all types of looters, but the adrenaline rush
from the illegal dimension as well as from chasing the most inaccessible
surfaces of the city and escaping the police make up half the thrill. So let’s
enjoy the work of those who succeed instead of mourning those who don’t. After all, the jungle
doesn’t stop here - the survival of the fittest still applies.

intorno a ferragosto qualche giorno con un polistirolo bianco in centro a milano, con la voglia di far vedere gli strani personaggi che lo frequentano, quando tutti gli altri sono in vacanza.
il presuntuoso tentativo di fondere i due giganti dei ritratti in location: august sander e il richard avedon dell’ “in the american west”. (che arroganza, solo avvicinarmi a questi due giganti!)
l’idea di fare una specie di “spoon river” dei vivi, con un rappresentante di ogni categoria: il pazzo, lo sfigato, la figa, il borghese, la mamma…
una delle prime volte che il “corriere della sera” dedica una pagina intera ad un servizio fotografico.

mi piace molto fare ritratti in giro: si parla con le persone…

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Provence. During the week we volunteered for the work camp (chantier) five days a week, for about six hours a day. In the afternoons our guide took us to different mountains and sites of interest in Provence. It was an amazing experience and I don't think I have ever seen so many beautiful mountains. I was lucky enough to work with a wonderful team of people who I hope to keep in touch with.
Living in such a small town allowed us to experience living a more natural life. We cooked ...
