Last thursday was the launch party of the first special edition of Sang Bleu. Publioshed in collaboration with the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The book launch was a nice succès. Everyone seemed to like the result (so do I!).

The rest of the week was dedicated to the planning of SB which is going to be pretty amazing, I think, and enjoying fashion week with Lotta Volkova aka Lotta Skeletrix and Alban Adam, guest editors of SBIII. Fashion week was pretty fun although a bit disappointing fashion-wise. I had the pleasure to (finally) meet lots of very interesting people such as Diane Pernet from A Shaded View On Fashion, Jason Farrer, Marcelo Burlon from Rodeo Magazine and his lovely friend Marchi Marchell, Samuel from Encens Magazine, the editors of Dong Magazine, SOLO from the oldschool french hardcore rap group ASSASSIN, the djs of Dirty Laurent Fétis the famous french graphic designer, even bumped into Pharell WIlliams and Kanye West at the Vuitton show and so on and so on… Images to come later this week as I sort my digitaly pix and process the rolls…

Here are a few images of tattooed people I met on this occasion. (Tattoos by Tribal Act, Boucherie Moderne, home-made, etc.)

another beautiful collection
especially the unusual engraving-inspired pieces by Wido de Marval
(especially—sorry for the redundancy—the amazing God-chestpiece!)

Two of the (many) photos I made…
I am so fan, I wanna don’t disclose them all at once, but keep posting in the next weeks!
There will also be an extensive feature on F in SBIII…

A Vivienne Westwood ring. Everything is said.

Some details from Wido de Marval’s studio (Darumas and other objects from Japan). they help you to forgot the pain  when you are being tatooed

Probably one of the most famous members of probably one of the most famous tattoo family, Xed LeHead is also one on the kindest person I’ve ever met. Seeing him work is just a lesson for precision and discipline.

Here photographed by Mikaela Sandell, initially for SB 0, but eventually for SBIII…

I think it’s about time I properly introduce long-time SB contributor and friend Lotta Skeletrix. Lotta, along with her (long-time SB contributor and friend) husband Alban Adam are currently doing a great job at co-editing SBIII.

Herzlichen dank.
