One inspiring woman, Gena Rowlands.

“Gloria” directed by husband John Cassavettes, was one of my favorite movies when I was a teen.

I know it’s not breaking news and this is gonna look like a late report but I’d like to get you to se this Swoon exhibition held at Galerie LJ.

Since a few years now, I don’t wanna do exhibitions, considering that it’s not anymore a pleasure to create unique pictures, not telling a story… I know I will change my mind one day, especially when I’ll be older and when I’ll be living in that countryside house with a great garage I could transform into a big studio. I would sleep in it, eat inside and gather my girlfriends for tea.

UNTIL THEN… I went up today to see my friend Adeline, owner of the gallery for lunch and a lil girls talk. I am not a super super fan of Swoon’s work usually, but I felt overwhelmed by her art as soon as I got in.

Her moneyless installations of cardboard, artwork mixed with cut-out paper meant a lot. Volume and a comfy sensation was created by artwork superpositions and space organisation. I really loved it. There’s a portrait of her father, he is beautiful, you can feel the love it it.

I drop a few pictures, but it’s really cool to see it with your own eyes to get the real feel, aight ?

UNTIL THE 4th DECEMBER !!

Check out Leah Mc Sweeney New collection HERE :

“Well it may be gray and gloomy outside today, but our Summer 2010 collection has arrived just in time to heat things up! This particular line was influenced by the vibrancy of Jamaican culture, giving nods to all our MOB Rude Girls and Sister Nancy’s out there. The lookbook was modeled by fiery starlet Faye Reagan, a real-life rude girl who by the age of 21 has already created a new standard within the adult film industry. Saucy mascot or not, the collection remains subtly sexy and focuses more on fun, laid-back pieces, like airy tanks, boyfriend tee’s in bright colors, striped beach dresses, and even a see-through tote to throw it all in. For those who prefer their summer with a little more glamour, we’ve also included a floor-length maxi dress adorned with an MTTM chain print, a gorgeous accent for bronzed summer skin.”

Also, they produced this short film to present the collection….
