Chanel News - Actualités et coulisses de la mode Par Boris Coridian Un rayon de soleil transperce les nuages parisiens de ce 26 janvier et illumine la nef du Grand Palais. Comme un appel du printemps au cœur de l’hiver, c’est le signal du départ du défilé de la collection Haute Couture Printemps‑Été 2016, imaginée par Karl Lagerfeld. Dans un décor où la nature est sublimée, une maison de bois aux volets clos se confond avec la végétation. La porte s’ouvre dévoilant les premières silhouettes. Une à une, semblant ralentir le pas pour mieux profiter de l’instant, les mannequins déambulent dans ce jardin d’Éden. Pour célébrer le sacre du printemps - comme un clin d’œil à l’œuvre de Stravinsky, chère à Gabrielle Chanel - les matières aériennes se mélangent aux broderies de bois. Les abeilles apparaissent sur les tulles et les mousselines, ainsi que sur les bijoux. Les fenêtres de bois s’ouvrent lentement sur les mannequins pour le final, chorégraphié par Karl Lagerfeld.

Home | Indygo Junction Henri Matisse (1869–1954) | Thematic Essay The remarkable career of Henri Matisse, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, whose stylistic innovations (along with those of Pablo Picasso) fundamentally altered the course of modern art and affected the art of several generations of younger painters, spanned almost six and a half decades. His vast oeuvre encompassed painting, drawing, sculpture, graphic arts (as diverse as etchings, linocuts, lithographs, and aquatints), paper cutouts, and book illustration. His varied subjects comprised landscape, still life, portraiture, domestic and studio interiors, and particularly focused on the female figure. Initially trained as a lawyer, Matisse developed an interest in art only at age twenty-one. In its palette and technique, Matisse's early work showed the influence of an older generation of his compatriots: Édouard Manet (1832–1883) and Paul Cézanne (1839–1906). In 1929, Matisse temporarily stopped painting easel pictures.
Eat Noodles Love Noodles Seams Well Life as a tea party A Beautiful Mess I love using cloth napkins to dress up our dinner table, and through the years I've grown even more fond of their sustainability and cost effectiveness. Though, I'm not sure how cost effective it is if you keep buying more and more cloth napkins each year! This holiday season I thought it would be fun to look at how I could dress up the napkins I already own to give them an extra festive vibe. Ribbon Trimmed Napkin This look is so (no sew) simple! Supplies:-ribbon-heat bond in width of ribbon-cloth napkin (buy mine here)-iron-fabric scissors (not shown above) Step One: Trim pieces of your ribbon to be about 1.5 inches longer than the width of your napkins. Step Two: Fold down the edges of each ribbon segment about 1/4" and iron flat. Step Three: Iron the heat bond to the ribbon (pressing with hot iron for two seconds), then peel off the paper backing. Step Four: Iron the ribbon in place on your napkin front with the heat bond facing down. Pom-Pom Trimmed Napkin That's all there is to it!
