Very hot in Paris

In Paris for the past few days photographing the couture collections as well as some Atsuko Kudo pieces. Temperature was 30+ . Nice and sticky.

MAG CULTURE BLOG

A good source to learn more about publishing and the backdoors of editorial, the Mag Culture Blog from Jeremie Leslie in the UK consists of reviews about design, business and all others aspects of publishing. It talks about new publications but also takes a look at history, which is sometimes harder to access in this field. Altogether, a precious source of informations.

PARIS

Maxime Buechi — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:50:50 +0000

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.)

Madrid#3 - Happiness

Recently someone told me they thought everyone on this blog looked pretty miserable. I’m hoping this will make up for it. Top is Natalia. Below they remained anonymous. I think he’s only smiling because I agreed to buy him a beer in exchange for his photograph.

Cailin

Cailin Hill (Premier London)

Everybody needs a muse or two.

I’m going to make sure that Cailin’s first and second tattoos make it to the pages of Sang Bleu III.

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