Christian Dior. Słynny projektant, kreator marzeń, krawiec snów, który w najczarniejszym dla Paryża momencie rzucił na miasto światło. Cecil Beaton twierdził, że już samo nazwisko Dior – w języku francuskim połączenie słów „Bóg” i „złoto” – było skazane na sukces. Ubierał największe gwiazdy i koronowane głowy swoich czasów. Marlena Dietrich powiedziała jasno: „No Dior, no Dietrich”, gdy wielki Alfred Hitchcock zaproponował jej rolę w filmie. Ale dlaczego jego debiutancka kolekcja New Look zrobiła takie wrażenie? I dlaczego została skrytykowana przez Coco Chanel? Jaka historia kryje się za słynnym nazwiskiem?Podcastu „Kroniki paryskie” możesz posłuchać na platformach Spotify, Apple Podcasts oraz YouTube.
Tom Holland, co-host of The Rest Is History, is Gyles's guest this week. And, fittingly, this episode is full of history - Augustus, Napoleon III, Bram Stoker, Byron, Jesus and Cecil Beaton all get a mention. Yes, there's name-dropping of a historical kind. One of the interesting things about Rosebud is the distinctive ways in which our guests' childhoods reflect the adults they become, and Tom was thinking about history as soon as he started to read - and this episode exudes that. Tom isn't just one of the hosts of the world's biggest history podcast, he's also the writer of multiple best-selling history books, largely about the ancient world, which he's brought to life for a wide audience. His latest book, Pax, is out now. We hope you enjoy this interview with one of the best, brightest and most brilliant communicators around. Learn more about your ad choices.

Recommendations: David Tangier: City of the Dream (Paperback) 'A dream concealed in stone...sky supersonic, orgone blue, warm wind...Such beauty, but more than that, it's like the dream is breaking through.' William Burroughs No city in the world has quite the exotic allure of Tangier. From the 17th century, it has been a place on the edge, beyond the normal disciplines of government, a city of refuge and excitements where sex is cheap, drugs are plentiful and where the outcasts of the world can breathe easily. The golden years of Tangier began after World War I and barely survived World War II. Among those who sought sanctuary in or inspiration from this legendary city were Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Paul and Jane Bowles, Ronnie Kray, the unhappy Woolworth heiress, Barbara Hutton, Tennessee Williams, Joe Orton, Cecil Beaton and Truman Capote. It is this 'last resort of the living dead, alive but not madly kicking' which Iain Finlayson explores in his witty, enthralling book. Eamonn Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity (Hardback) For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity. This isn't 'biohacking,' it's science: a well-founded strategic approach to extending lifespan while improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health, making each decade better than the one before. With Outlive's practical advice and roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before. Stuart Monsters, Inc. Lovable Sulley (John Goodman) and his wisecracking sidekick Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) are the top scare team at MONSTERS, INC., the scream-processing factory in Monstropolis. When a little girl named Boo wanders into their world, it's the monsters who are scared silly, and it's up to Sulley and Mike to keep her out of sight and get her back home.

Uosobienie dekadencji. Marinetti twierdził, że jest prawdziwą futurystką, Gabriele D'Annunzio podkreślał, że nie można było obok niej przejść obojętnie. Sama chciała być żywym dziełem sztuki. Na portretach uwiecznili ją Giovanni Boldini, Erté, Kees van Dongen, Giacomo Balla, Man Ray czy Cecil Beaton. W paryskim Ritzu mówiono, że spaceruje hotelowymi korytarzami jak zjawa. Na wysadzanych kosztownościami smyczach wyprowadzała na spacer dwa gepardy, a na szyi, zamiast naszyjnika, nosiła pozłacane węże. Jak naprawdę wyglądało ekscentryczne życie najbogatszej kobiety Europy swoich czasów, która majątek roztrwoniła na ubrania, biżuterię i wystawne przyjęcia?

Our guest, Rachel Elizabeth Seed, is a DIRECTOR/PRODUCERoriginally from London, and is a Los Angeles and Brooklyn-based nonfiction storyteller working in film, photography and writing. Join us as Rachel talks about her feature documentary Photographic Memory. She says this about the film ... "After a decade+ of shooting, editing, and producing, my debut feature documentary A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, was launched this month at the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, Missouri to standing ovations and with RogerEbert.com calling it one of the best docs they've seen this year! A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY is an intimate, genre-bending portrait of my attempt to piece together a portrait of my mother, Sheila Turner Seed, an avant-garde journalist I never knew. Uncovering the vast archive she produced, including lost interviews with photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gordon Parks, Cecil Beaton, Lisette Model, and others, the film explores memory, legacy, and stories left untold. It feels amazing to finally share this passion project with the world and to see people connecting with it in meaningful ways. One of my favorite parts of the weekend was witnessing audience members see new possibilities for connecting with departed loved ones, as I do myself in the film."

Peter and Nathan watched this movie so you don't have to! It's time for a deep cut... We're talking about the 1970 film version of Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane's very strange musical, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever – a show about a psychiatrist with terrible boundaries. We talk about: ESP: Is there a meaningful distinction between extrasensory perception and Christian conceptions of spirituality and prayer? Reincarnation: We talk about the case of Bridey Murphy, the 19th-century Irishwoman who was purportedly reincarnated as a 20th century American housewife. What are we supposed to believe about the afterlife? Grief: So many conversations about the afterlife happen in the context of death & grief. Does profound grief open us up to alternate conceptions of the universe in a way that can be helpful – or is that simply our emotions talking? Clothes: Always the clothes. The Cecil Beaton gowns! The turbans! Be still, our hearts! You'll hear: Yves Montand, Barbra Streisand and the cast of the film singing "Come Back To Me," "Love With All The Trimmings" and "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" as well as the Peddlers' version of the film's title song.

Nous sommes en 1933. Dans une lettre qu'il adresse à son gendre, Louis Cartier, l'un des patrons de l'empire du luxe, qui réside, à cette époque, à Budapest, écrit : « Mon cher René, je vous remets les dessins avec mon appréciation consciente. Autant je suis d'avis de faire du cristal de roche et diamants, autant je souhaiterais recevoir quelque chose de plus savoureux, ou de plus neuf. Cependant si vous les trouvez à votre goût (…) faites les exécuter, nous verrons par l'expérience si cela se vendra ou non. Je n'ai aucun faux amour propre et je serai ravi si quelqu'un de capable prenait ma succession dans l'invention du stock. Comme Jeanne Toussaint a un grand goût et universellement apprécié, je suis prêt à laisser exécuter les dessins de stock sur sa signature et sous sa responsabilité. Il est de l'intérêt évident de la société de lui donner la direction artistique en mon absence quoique j'ai peur de ce nouveau poids pour elle (...) Qui est Jeanne Toussaint que le photographe Cecil Beaton décrira en ces termes : « On peut dire que c'est cette petite femme-oiseau qui révolutionna l'art de la joaillerie, créant le style Cartier (…)» ? Jeanne Toussaint, née à Charleroi dans un milieu modeste, va conquérir une première place dans un univers d'hommes et imposer sa personnalité faite d'audace, d'angoisse et de douceur. Jeanne Toussaint va mettre la créativité au service de l'émancipation… Invitée : Laure Dorchy, historienne de l'art, experte en histoire du bijoux et de l'orfèvrerie.

At the turn of the last century, the French Riviera was mostly a winter destination for those in colder climates. It turns out that "fun in the sun" and "playground for the rich" are fairly modern concepts, but in a brilliant real estate move, American actress Maxine Elliott created both. Her waterfront Château de l'Horizon, constructed in 1932, became a veritable clubhouse for the rich, famous, and powerful on both sides of the Atlantic. Alicia takes us through some of the more notable personages, stories, and affairs from the heyday of the Château de l'Horizon, under Maxine Elliott's ownership, and later that of Prince Aly Khan. Among the luminaries who appear in this episode: Gerald and Sara Murphy; King Edward VII; William Montagu, 9th Duke of Manchester; George Keppel; Alice Keppel; Jennie Jerome Churchill; Winston Churchill; Elsie de Wolfe; Prince George, Duke of Kent; J.P. Morgan; King George V; King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson; Cecil Beaton; Cimmie Mosley; Picasso; Prime Minister David Lloyd George; the Aga Khan; Clark Gable; George Bernard Shaw; Lady Diana Cooper; Lady Doris Castlerosse; Daisy Fellows; Marion Davies; Edwina Mountbatten, Countess of Burma; The Mitford Sisters (and their brother); Randolph Churchill Jr.; Evelyn Waugh; Gloria Guinness; Kick Kennedy; Prince Aly Khan; Pamela Churchill; Rita Hayworth; Gianni Agnelli; JFK and Jackie Kennedy; Aristotle Onassis; Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher, just to name a few.

El retrato es una disciplina compleja dentro de la fotografía profesional. Cada retrato lleva consigo una intención creativa y requiere la aprobación del retratado.

Scores of painters and photographers over the last seventy years have grappled with the formal portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II from life. These range from the celluloid fantasies of Cecil Beaton to the directness of Lucian Freud; the Renaissance-inspired divinity of Pietro Annigoni to the naturalism of Annie Leibovitz.Underlying all her official portrayals is an artistic conflict: the requirements of royal iconography and the demands of the usually conservative institutional commissioner, versus modern expectations for artistic self-expression and psychological authenticity. A lecture by Philip Mould OBE recorded on 2 March 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/elizabeth-portraitsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

We complete our exploration of the dark shadows in the background of Cecil Beaton's sunny photograph. The laws of the time made it perfectly possible to prevent Edward VIII from marrying Wallis Simpson. Then there wouldn't have been any point in abdicating. But nobody even tried. Did the yet-to-be-crowned king himself manufacture the crisis? Or had Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, by never revealing the private letters he had from Wallis Simpson, carried off a quietly brilliant palace coup?
If you enjoyed #BBCRadio4 drama #NazisTheRoadToPower by #JonathanMyerson you will love this series of 3 podcasts: '2 May 1937: the King, his wife, their Führer, the lobster. Cecil Beaton photographs for American Vogue the twice-divorced American heiress soon to marry the ex-King Edward VIII. Wallis Simpson wears a Schiaparelli ‘waltz dress' with a Salvador Dali red lobster down her skirt. The setting is a French chateau belonging to the American businessman who a few months later will mastermind the Windsors' honeymoon tour of Nazi Germany. But what – other than Wallis Simpson - connects all these people?
di Alessandra Mauro | Una produzione Contrasto e storielibere.fm | Una splendida Audrey Hepburn, esile ed elegante, guarda fisso in macchina, consapevole della sua grazia e, soprattutto, della bellezza unica del vestito che indossa. La fotografia, tratta dalla versione cinematografica del musical My Fair Lady del 1964, è perfetta, sognante, come devono esserlo le fotografie di scena dei grandi film hollywoodiani. Ed è una delle opere più celebri di Cecil Beaton, fotografo, ma anche pittore, disegnatore, costumista, un creativo a tutto tondo capace di inserirsi nella grande tradizione della fotografia di moda, rinnovandola col suo stile personale e unico.
Do Let's Have Another Drink!: The Dry Wit and Fizzy Life of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother by Mr. Gareth Russell For fans of The Crown and Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret, a deliciously entertaining collection of 101 fascinating and funny anecdotes about Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother—one for each year of her life. During her lifetime, the Queen Mother was as famous for her clever quips, pointed observations, and dry-as-a-martini delivery style as she was for being a beloved royal. Now, Do Let's Have Another Drink recounts 101 (one for each year of her remarkable life) amusing and astonishing vignettes from across her long life, including her coming of age during World War I, the abdication of her brother-in-law and her unexpected ascendance to the throne, and her half century of widowhood as her daughter reigned over the United Kingdom. Featuring new revelations and colorful anecdotes about the woman Cecil Beaton, the high society photographer, once summarized as “a marshmallow made on a welding machine,” Do Let's Have Another Drink is a delightful celebration of one of the most consistently popular members of the royal family.
Jonathan Joseph and Rachel Elspeth Gross interview Henry Wilkinson to discuss the process of restoring a 1960's Givenchy dress that was worn by Lee Radziwill and Jackie O. Henry is a fashion historian who specializes in Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn. He's got this habit of finding, acquiring and then bringing back to life pieces from the house but of stories which might rival the women who wore them. Henry distinctly remembers as a child, being gifted physical copies of the classic films My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany's. For Henry, his early love of fashion is permanently entwined with Hepburn and Givenchy, although he will admit to a certain amount of Cecil Beaton 's influence. Two weeks into lockdown in the United Kingdom, Henry found to borrow his words, a tangible link to the Past, not many of us could see a listing for an early 1960s, Givenchy bodice plus maybe five inches of skirt and see something special but Henry did. Now he's completed the process of restoring what has turned out to be a significant one of a kind piece from more than 60 years ago. If that's not enough to impress you.

Indissociable du Royaume-Uni, Elizabeth II l'était aussi de la culture. De l'ours Paddington à Andy Warhol, la reine aura été incontournable sur la scène culturelle britannique et mondiale. Stéphane Bern, spécialiste de l'Histoire dans l'émission 'Historiquement Vôtre' sur Europe 1, raconte deux artistes qui ont tiré le portrait de Sa Majesté : le photographe Cecil Beaton qui a immortalisé Elizabeth II lors de son investiture et le peintre Lucian Freud dont la toile «étonnante» est restée gravée à jamais dans la mémoire de la reine.> Retrouvez Stéphane Bern dans l'émission 'Historiquement Vôtre' du lundi au vendredi à 16h sur Europe 1.
This week, two very special guests join Ashley and Mike to remember Elizabeth II. First, Anna Scott Carter shares a lovely story about the first time she met the Queen, and also gives personal insights into why the monarch had such a love for Balmoral. Then George Pendle details how Cecil Beaton's carefully composed photographs of her across the decades played a crucial role in creating her image—and our memories of her.

Stéphane Bern, entouré de ses chroniqueurs historiquement drôles et parfaitement informés, s'amuse avec l'Histoire – la grande, la petite, la moyenne… - et retrace les destins extraordinaires de personnalités qui n'auraient jamais pu se croiser, pour deux heures où le savoir et l'humour avancent main dans la main. Aujourd'hui, Cecil Beaton et Lucien Freud, deux artistes qui ont immortalisé la reine Elizabeth II.
Historiquement Vôtre consacre une émission spéciale à une reine qui vient d'entrer définitivement dans l'Histoire : la Reine d'Angleterre, Sa Majesté Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), en racontant le destin si particulier de la souveraine de l'histoire britannique restée le plus longtemps sur le trône. Une immersion dans la vie hors-norme de celle qui n'aurait jamais dû être appelée à régner, qui ne l'a évidemment pas choisi mais s'y est entièrement dévouée durant 70 longues années. Mais aussi ce que la Reine a dû affronter au sein même de la famille royale, l'évolution de son image, ou encore les artistes qui l'ont immortalisée et ont fait passer Sa Majesté à la postérité : du plus sérieux avec le photographe Cecil Beaton lors de son investiture au plus décalé, avec le peintre Lucian Freud et sa toile "étonnante" que la Reine n'a jamais pu oublier...

Step back in time with us as Kate visits Charleston home of Vanessa Bell and important gathering place for the members of the Bloomsbury Group, that collection of writers and artists including Virginia Woolf that coalesced around Gordon Square in London. Undaunted by the ghosts of her relatives Nino Strachey, author of a new book, Young Bloomsbury, joins us to discuss the up-and-coming younger generation, such as writer Julia Strachey, sculptor Stephen Tomlin and photographer Cecil Beaton, who followed in their footsteps. Nino considers the interplay of creative inspiration that flowed between the generations, but also the spirit of tolerance and acceptance of different gender identities and chosen families that allowed these young creatives to flourish.

Sur la légendaire photo noir et blanc qui illustre cet épisode, prise en 1957 par Cecil Beaton, l'un des grands photographes et portraitistes de mode de la première moitié du siècle dernier, la Diva pose, vêtue d'un fin pull noir, les coudes posés sur une petite table d'osier, ses mains entourant son si beau visage, tel une Audrey Hepburn pensive et grave, et de ses grands yeux noirs elle semble nous mettre au défi de dire du mal de sa voix, comme ce fut souvent le cas tout au long de sa carrière, alors qu'elle avait la seule reconnaissable entre toutes, unique, cristalline, tourbillonnante, éternelle.

We complete our exploration of the dark shadows in the background of Cecil Beaton's sunny photograph. The laws of the time made it perfectly possible to prevent Edward VIII from marrying Wallis Simpson. Then there wouldn't have been any point in abdicating. But nobody even tried. Did the yet-to-be-crowned king himself manufacture the crisis? Or had Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, by never revealing the private letters he had from Wallis Simpson, carried off a quietly brilliant palace coup?
RE-RELEASING AT PUBLIC REQUEST: 2 May 1937. Cecil Beaton photographs for American Vogue the twice-divorced American heiress soon to marry the ex-King Edward VIII. Wallis Simpson wears a Schiaparelli ‘waltz dress' with a Salvador Dali red lobster down her skirt. The setting is a French chateau belonging to the American businessman who a few months later will mastermind the Windsors' honeymoon tour of Germany. But what – other than Wallis Simpson - connects all these people?

John Waters once said nothing is more impotent than an unread library. In this episode, the cult film director responsible for such enduring cult classics as Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Cry Baby and Hairspray talks about Serious Pleasures, Philip Hoare's extraordinary biography of Stephen Tennant, one of the so-called Bright Young Things who fascinated and scandalized 1920s Britain, alongside other headline-grabbing figures of the day such as Cecil Beaton and the Mitford sisters. "I like to be taken into a world that's very foreign to me, and learn something," he says. "I like somebody who's smart, and who can talk about their feelings. That's why I like biographies, just to see mistakes that people made, and what they did with success and failure." What does he love about the life of Tennant? "I love that he went to bed for 17 years because life made him too giddy." In this episode we also talk to Philip Hoare, the author of Serious Pleasures, about the challenges of writing a biography when your subject has just died.
Hugo Vickers is a writer, historian and broadcaster who discovered his interest in history and the royal family while still at school. He is the author of many books about the royal family, the British aristocracy, Cecil Beaton and other related topics. In his twenties he began researching a famed beauty he had seen mentioned in a book as a teenager—according to all reports she had disappeared but Hugo found her living in a geriatric psych ward. Thus began the several year process of interviewing her and researching Gladys' life as the Duchess of Marlborough—his biography of her was published in 1979 to much acclaim. This book led to a request from Cecil Beaton to write his biography, followed by books about Garbo, Vivien Leigh, and many members of the royal family. After quickly establishing himself as an expert on all matters to do with the royal family, Hugo made his first appearance as a royal commentator during Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981. Since then he has become one of the most well-known and highly regarded in the UK. A fount of information on a world that has largely disappeared, he joins host Laura McLaws Helms to discuss how his interests became his career, how he approaches writing and research, the royal family and more.

durée : 00:34:59 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Philippe Garbit, Albane Penaranda, Antoine Dhulster - Nadine Satiat, auteure d'une biographie de Gertrude Stein, retraçait son parcours au micro d'Alain Veinstein, en soulignant sa démarche créatrice propre et l'importance de son oeuvre littéraire. Pour la couverture de la grande biographie qu'elle lui avait consacrée en 2010 chez Flammarion, Nadine Satiat avait choisi l'agrandissement d'un portrait de Getrude Stein réalisée par le photographe anglais Cecil Beaton, en 1935. Cheveux courts anthracites, chemise blanche nouée par une broche autour du cou, gilet à fleurs, elle s'y tient debout, droite face à l'objectif, les mains sagement croisées au niveau du ventre. L'expression du visage est neutre, le regard franc, intelligent. Si Gertrude Stein fut un modèle tant prisé par les peintres, les sculpteurs et les photographes, de Picasso à Picabia en passant par Man Ray, Jo Davidson ou Félix Vallotton, c'est sans doute parce qu'il y avait en elle quelque chose d'irréductible, quelque chose qui toujours excédait le portrait, ou lui résistait. Quelque chose comme une liberté radicale, absolue, que la biographie de Nadine Satiat s'employait à mettre en lumière. * En février 2011, elle était l'invitée d'Alain Veinstein et retraçait le temps de deux émissions le parcours de cette femme juive, américaine et homosexuelle, née en 1874 en Pennsylvanie, morte en 1946 à Neuilly.

This episode is a conversation with Dr. Benjamin Wild who is a U.K. based cultural historian specialising in the study of Fancy Dress Costume. Dr. Wild has authored many pieces of work including books A Life in Fashion The Wardrobe of Cecil Beaton (2016) and Carnival to Catwalk: Global Reflections on Fancy Dress Costume (2020). Additionally, he is co-host with Lucy Clayton of the Dress Fancy podcast. Dr. Wild is a Senior Lecturer in Contextual Studies at The Manchester Fashion Institute at Manchester Metropolitan University. Fancy Dress also known as Costume or Fancy Dress Costume is defined by Dr. Wild as a performative form of dress, imaginative and incongruous, work for a discrete occasion and limited time that disrupts the place of the individual within the social and political relationships of a specific community (2020, p. 1). In this episode, we explore ideas of history and culture reflected in fancy dress costume both in society and on the runway. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zara-korutz/message

“Histoires de photographies” Collections du Musée des Arts Décoratifsau MAD, musée des Arts Décoratifs, Parisdu 19 mai au 12 décembre 2021Interview de Sébastien Quéquet, attaché de conservation en charge des collections photographiques, département des Arts graphiques et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 19 mai 2021, durée 27'22, © FranceFineArt.Extrait du communiqué de presse :CommissariatSébastien Quéquet, attaché de conservation en charge des collections photographiques, département des Arts graphiquesAvec la collaboration de :Sonia Aubès, documentalisteMax Bonhomme, docteur en histoire de l'artIris Cartron, élève de l'École normale supérieureBéatrice Krikorian, chargée de missionLe Musée des Arts Décoratifs présente une exposition de ses collections de photographies, révélées pour la première fois au public. Ce fonds patrimonial exceptionnel, riche de plus de 350 000 phototypes, rassemble des photographies de mode, d'architecture, de paysage, de décor, mais aussi publicitaires, allant des années 1840 aux créations les plus récentes.« Histoires de photographies » retrace, à travers 400 tirages originaux et négatifs, un siècle et demi d'histoires photographiques immortalisées par de grands noms tels Eugène Atget, Laure Albin-Guillot, Dora Kallmus, plus connue sous le nom de Madame d'Ora, Man Ray, Cecil Beaton, Robert Doisneau, Bettina Rheims, David Seidner… Chronologique et thématique, l'exposition dévoile la diversité des usages de la photo — politique, économique, juridique, artistique ou documentaire — et met en lumière les croisements, sensibles ou inattendus, avec les arts décoratifs. Elle offre ainsi un regard neuf sur le rôle de premier plan que le Musée des Arts Décoratifs a joué dans la reconnaissance de la photographie sur la scène artistique française.Dès son origine en 1864, l'Union centrale des beaux-arts appliqués à l'industrie – aujourd'hui Les Arts Décoratifs – envisage la photographie comme un « art appliqué à l'enseignement et à la vulgarisation ». Elle est alors considérée comme l'un des vecteurs les plus efficaces pour inspirer les ouvriers et artisans en plein contexte d'émulation artistique et économique. Au temps des premières expositions d'arts industriels, l'institution produit ses propres photographies grâce au laboratoire qu'elle met en place en 1883 et appelle les photographes à rejoindre ses rangs afin de fournir des modèles, en vue de former le regard et d'éduquer par l'image. Au fil du temps, le musée et sa bibliothèque acquièrent des milliers de clichés ayant pour vocation de documenter les collections que les créateurs ont pu donner par ailleurs, à l'instar de la maison Fouquet ou Louis Sognot.Au-delà des collections, c'est toute une politique d'expositions que la photographie nourrit tout au long du XXe siècle comme l'« Exposition des photographies de guerre » en 1916 ou l'« Exposition internationale de la photographie contemporaine » en 1936. La programmation propose et accueille les premières rétrospectives françaises consacrées à Henri Cartier-Bresson (1955) ou à Jacques Henri Lartigue (1975). En 2021, le musée rend un nouvel hommage à la photographie mais cette fois à travers le prisme de sa propre collection. Six sections permettent d'en saisir la profusion et la variété : la quête des modèles, les vues de pays comme objet d'étude et d'inspiration, la photographie au service du patrimoine, l'utilité commerciale de la photographie exploitée par la presse et la publicité, la reconnaissance de la photographie et la photographie de mode.Le parcours débute au commencement de l'histoire de la photographie dans le sillon des premières associations et institutions : la Société française de photographie voit le jour en 1854 et la Chambre syndicale de la photographie en 1862. Cette partie introduit le visiteur dans les premières images de ce milieu du XIXe siècle en rappelant leur vocation pédagogique pour les artistes et les artisans. L'acquisition de modèles photographiques – natures mortes mais aussi ornements ou figures – est alors au coeur des impératifs des institutions.Le XIXe siècle est aussi une époque d'échanges et de mouvements. Les expositions universelles, plus particulièrement à partir de 1867, invitent à découvrir le monde, cet « ailleurs » que l'on méconnait alors, et la photographie participe à ce phénomène. Les clichés pris à l'étranger ont nourri l'imaginaire des artistes et des décorateurs, autant que celui des collectionneurs. De l'Amérique du Sud à l'Asie en passant par l'Europe et la Méditerranée, les photographies témoignent de différents points de vue : colonial, touristique, ethnographique ou personnel. La photographie est également l'une des ressources les plus convoquées à l'heure où s'organise la protection des monuments. En apportant un témoignage visuel de leur état et de leur transformation, elle joue un rôle essentiel à l'égard du patrimoine et de l'architecture à travers l'objectif d'Henri Le Secq ou de Charles Marville.L'exposition entraîne le visiteur dans les années 1920-1930, qui voient l'apparition progressive de la photographie publicitaire. Cette partie dévoile comment l'essor du modernisme photographique doit autant aux photographes eux-mêmes qu'aux graphistes, éditeurs et décorateurs, qui font entrer l'image dans les domaines de la vie quotidienne. L'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes, qui se tient à Paris en 1925, est fondamentale pour le marché de la photographie et de l'édition. Certaines revues comme Art et Décoration ou L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui, et Connaissance des arts ensuite, accordent une place croissante à l'illustration photographique. Publiées dans ces revues, les clichés de Thérèse Bonney, Dora Kallmus ou Jean Collas jouent également un rôle de diffusion de modèles, contribuant au renouveau de la création et à l'évolution des goûts.C'est également l'ambition de l'Union française des arts du costume (UFAC), créée en 1948, sous l'impulsion de François Boucher, qui rassemble un ensemble prestigieux de pièces de mode, textiles et de tirages dont la gestion est alors confiée au musée. L'alliance de ces deux collections, dont l'accord est scellé en 1981, devient le socle de la mode du Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Le corpus photographique apporte un témoignage artistique et intime sur les figures les plus marquantes de la haute couture parisienne : Charles Frederick Worth, Madeleine Vionnet, Paul Poiret… Créateurs que les toutes récentes expositions « Harpers Bazaar. Premier magazine de mode » et « Le dessin sans réserve » ont mis en lumière.« Histoires de photographies » s'inscrit dans une programmation initiée en 2020 avec « Le dessin sans réserve », à la suite de « Faire le mur. Quatre siècles de papiers peints » en 2016, qui s'attache à faire découvrir au public toute la richesse de fonds restés longtemps dans l'ombre. L'exposition révèle les contours d'un médium à part entière, ses personnalités fondatrices et ses expressions les plus surprenantes.Un catalogue éponyme est disponible aux éditions MAD.

The witty and perceptive diaries kept by Cecil Beaton's authorised biographer during his many fascinating encounters with extraordinary - often legendary - characters in his search for the real Cecil Beaton. Hugo Vickers's life took a dramatic turn in 1979 when the legendary Sir Cecil Beaton invited him to be his authorised biographer. The excitement of working with the famous photographer was dashed only days later when Cecil Beaton died. But the journey had begun - Vickers was entrusted with Beaton's papers, diaries and, most importantly, access to his friends and contemporaries. The resulting book, first published in 1985, was a best seller. In Malice in Wonderland, Vickers shares excerpts from his personal diaries kept during this period. For five years, Vickers travelled the world and talked to some of the most fascinating and important social and cultural figures of the time, including royalty such as the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, film stars such as Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews, writers such as Truman Capote and photographers such as Irving Penn and Horst. And not only Beaton's friends - Vickers sought out the enemies too, notably Irene Selznick. He was taken under the wings of Lady Diana Cooper, Clarissa Avon and Diana Vreeland. Drawn into Beaton's world and accepted by its members, Vickers the emerging biographer also began his own personal adventure. The outsider became the insider - Beaton's friends became his friends. Malice in Wonderland is a fascinating portrait of a now disappeared world, and vividly and sensitively portrays some of its most fascinating characters as we travel with Vickers on his quest.

Seated in the front row of the first Balmain show, alongside his friends Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, was the fascinating English Renaissance man, Cecil Beaton. The author and film director Lisa Immordino-Vreeland joins this episode of l’Atelier Balmain to discuss the fascinating life and work of Beaton. Immordino Vreeland, known for her prizewinning documentaries about some of the 20th-Century’s most talented forces in art, creation and fashion, recently focused on Beaton for her third film and second book—both titled Love Cecil—and she shares insights on his life, philosophy and creations with the podcast. From the moment he saw his first Balmain designs, Cecil Beaton began forming an important connection to the house—in fact, almost immediately after that premiere show, Beaton began to promote the young Pierre Balmain to key members of London and Paris society. Lynn Yaeger returns to the podcast to discuss some of the English, French and American aristocratic and upper-class personalities who were quick to adopt Balmain’s fresh, feminine silhouette—and, just as one might expect, Yaeger is also happy to share the scandals and background stories connected to each of those colorful personalities. While we explore how post-war society was quick to embrace Balmain, we also highlight how Olivier Rousteing cleverly appropriates society’s codes and signatures for today’s modern vision of luxury and class that speaks to our age — and the young, diverse and inclusive Balmain Army that Olivier Rousteing designs for today. This is the third of four l’Atelier Balmain episodes exploring the house’s first collection. Underlining how that first Balmain show introduced what Alice B Toklas defined as a “New French Style,” the four podcasts focus on Pierre Balmain's astounding success in overcoming the extremely difficult conditions, while also placing the spotlight on some of the many fashion and cultural icons who were part of the house’s earliest days and helped guarantee the success of the Paris fashion world’s first post-war star, Pierre Balmain.

For this podcast, we turn to the beautiful jazz of Django Reinhardt, playing one of his most moving creations throughout the episode. Jean Reinhardt—known to all by his Romani nickname Django—was France’s first major jazz artist—and, for many critics, he is simply Europe’s greatest jazz talent, ever. Two of his hits bookend the dark years of France’s occupation. The first, “Nuages” (Clouds), is one of his most famous compositions. Written after France’s defeat in 1940, it became for many a sort of unofficial Parisian anthem, signifying hopes for eventual freedom and liberation. Reinhardt, unlike many Romani, somehow managed to avoid the camps and horrors of that time—even after his plans to escape to Switzerland were thwarted by the Nazis, he was still able to return to Paris and continue playing. Most Romani, of course, were not so connected, talented and lucky. It’s estimated that over 600,000 Romani people were interned and killed during the Porajmos (the Nazi genocide of Romani people). So, we can easily understand why Reinhardt decided to mark the Liberation with this now iconic, celebratory and joyful jazz version of “La Marseillaise,” France’s national anthem. At that same time, remembering the great and tragic losses, he composed a moving requiem mass for the victims of the Romani genocide, entitled “Requiem à mes frères tsiganes.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS: CECIL BEATON, REX WHISTLER AND THE WILTSHIRE SETFrom the hedonistic Bright Young Things of the 1920s emerged a group of artists who found inspiration and freedom in south Wiltshire where they discovered havens in which they could push the boundaries of artistic freedom. Cecil Beaton and Rex Whistler were among the finest artists of their generation, one a photographer and designer, the other a muralist and illustrator. James Holland sheds fascinating and moving new light on these two brilliant men and their achievements. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Long live the Quinn! Richard Quinn was already a breakout graduate from his Central Saint Martins MA class with his extreme subversions of floral prints but when Her Majesty the Queen made a surprise appearance at his London Fashion Week show in 2018 to present him with the inaugural QEII Award for British Design, that’s when all eyes fell on this young, grounded designer. Quinn has since risen and risen, with surreal moments like the likes of Celine Dion and Cardi B donning a head-to-toe RQ look, as well as putting on spectacular shows that involve both his family and community, like the SS20 show that had a troupe of girls from the local primary school emerging in marabou ensembles standing next to a Cecil Beaton-esque mise-en-scene, with the help of his brother who works in construction. From Quinn’s South Peckham studio and open-access print studio, he spoke to fashion journalist and content creator Susie Lau, just as a second lockdown had begun in London, about navigating an albeit quieter year for everyone and how we will emerge and react to these strange times. Dress up, up and up is the takeaway! “Those key turning point, red carpet moments aren’t happening right now. But once this is all gone, it will be more saturated than ever. Everyone will be just like ‘Let’s go for it!’. It will be like the 1920s again. Any occasion will be special.” Keeping things special is precisely why Quinn opted not to show his SS21 collection in September and instead postponed it until February. Being brave enough to pause and wait for a better moment is why Quinn’s shows are such hot tickets. Welcome to the House of Quinn!
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary...Cecil Beaton famously said that and it's a clarion cry could be attributed to any one of my guests, and John Williams is no exception. A senior managing consultant at Deloitte he was set up for life until the day came when he could bare the beige existence no more and so fucked it all off, swapping the trappings of predictability for a life of freedom, risk and edgy creativity, swearing he would never work another conventional day as long as he drew breath.He now he runs the groundbreaking, job ruining, rule breaking The Ideas Lab which has helped thousands of people to break free from their commonplace existence to create their own successful businesses.Not content with just changing people's lives, John is also the best selling author of three books, translated into ten languages.His new book is 'Fuck Work Let's Play: Do what you love & get paid for it' which is business book of the month in WHSmith travel shops.John's and inspirational character who has faced and overcome many challenges in his lifetime and here he takes time to share his story and philosophical outlook in another raw and unguarded episode of the show. https://fworkletsplay.com/Title track composed by Jerry Hyde and Nick Van Gelder, produced by Nick Van Gelder, keyboards by Kenny Dickenson, brass by Noel Langley, vocals by Sian O'Gorman.
Thérèse Raquin (1868), the third novel by French writer Émile Zola, is the book featured in this episode of Backlisted. Joining John and Andy to discuss the sensational and still shocking founding text of Naturalism are the novelists Rachel Joyce and Andrew O'Hagan. Also in this episode John has been reading Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano’s Memory of Fire trilogy, while Andy takes a tour of the National Portrait Gallery's cancelled Cecil Beaton exhibition with Cecil Beaton's Bright Young Things by Robin Muir.
We complete our exploration of the dark shadows in the background of Cecil Beaton's sunny photograph. The laws of the time made it perfectly possible to prevent Edward VIII from marrying Wallis Simpson. Then there wouldn't have been any point in abdicating. But nobody even tried. Did the yet-to-be-crowned king himself manufacture the crisis? Or had Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, by never revealing the private letters he had from Wallis Simpson, carried off a very British palace coup?
2 May 1937. Cecil Beaton photographs for American Vogue the twice-divorced American heiress soon to marry the ex-King Edward VIII. Wallis Simpson wears a Schiaparelli ‘waltz dress' with a Salvador Dali red lobster down her skirt. The setting is a French chateau belonging to the American businessman who a few months later will mastermind the Windsors' honeymoon tour of Germany. But what – other than Wallis Simpson - connects all these people?
This week, Lucy and Ben explore the life and times of Dress: Fancy’s patron saint, Cecil Beaton. The social upheavals in Europe between the First and Second World Wars created an unsettling mix of expectation and fear. Weary and wealthy, a privileged group of twenty-somethings attempted to turn doubt and despair into delight and delirium. Their antics and fancy dress shenanigans became legendary, but, Beaton apart, their hopes for escape remained tragically unfulfilled.

The Bright Young Things were a group of rich, indulgent aristocrats who between the two wars entertained themselves by dressing up, posing and performing.

Cecil Beaton was one of Britain's greatest cultural icons - not just as a photographer capturing some of the most celebrated portraits of the 20th century but also as designer of the iconic sets and costumes for the films My Fair Lady and Gigi. In 1980, Beaton personally chose Hugo Vickers to be his biographer, entrusting him with his diaries and the entire body of letters he had written - both personally and professionally - over the course of his life. Drawing on five years of intensive research and interviews with the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Truman Capote, Princess Grace of Monaco and Sir John Gielgud, Vickers' biography was an instant bestseller upon its publication in 1985. Exploring Beaton's metamorphosis from being the child of a staid middle-class family to an international figure mingling with the glittering stars of his age, the biography also details his great love for Greta Garbo and reveals his private sense of failure that the success he always wanted - as a playwright - eluded him. Republished in a new paperback edition in time for Bright Young Things, a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in 2020, Cecil Beaton is the definitive and authorised biography of one of the world's most fascinating, famous and admired photographers.

Russell & Robert meet iconic British actor Sir Ian McKellen CBE at his home in East London. We have a private tour of Ian’s art collection including stunning works by L.S. Lowry, David Hockney, Andrew Logan, textile artist John Allen and an Antony Gormley cast iron figure he chose to display in the River Thames at the end of his garden! We learn about Ian’s childhood in Bolton and how his father’s natural talent for art meant Ian chose a different way to express himself on stage and screen! However his own passion for art led him to buy a work to commemorate every part he’s played around the world and he even set up an artist residency in the house next-door. Ian remembers Andy Warhol taking his photo at The Factory in 1970s New York (& buying a screen print of Mick Jagger), being painted twice by his longterm friend David Hockney and why he sees the paintings of L.S. Lowry as stage sets. We also discuss the 20 portraits of Ian at the National Portrait Gallery collection by artists as varied as Cecil Beaton, Lord Snowdon, Mary McCartney, Trevor Leighton and Clive Smith who won the BP Award from the National Portrait Gallery and was given the commission to paint McKellen for their collection. Whilst, Christian Hook painted McKellen in the final episode of Portrait Artist of the Year on TV and won the prize also!

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
"San Francisco is one of the great cultural plateaus of the world — one of the really urbane communities in the United States — one of the truly cosmopolitan places and for many, many years, it always has had a warm welcome for human beings from all over the world."—Duke Ellington In 2002 I began my career in teaching - my first job was teaching 9th grade English in a small town at the bottom of South Lake Tahoe in northern Nevada. And on occasion, maybe two or three, I believe it was two, times I made the four hour drive to San Francisco for long weekends. I found a small boutique hotel near Union Square, walked and drove the hills (becoming more proficient with a clutch than ever before) giving my calves an exquisite workout, enjoyed a delicious brunch at the Empress Hotel with my mentor who showed a bit more of the city to me on a long holiday weekend, as well as drinks at the Top of the Mark, but each of my visits was well before Google Maps and the entire tech sector engulfed Silicon Valley and the city by the Bay, so I wasn't sure really where to go and just visited as far as my feet and my comfort would take me. Fast forward sixteen years, and I finally had the opportunity to return to San Francisco. Since before moving to Bend, it has been on my list of places to visit. After all, it is in many ways the West Coast's New York City. Understandably, each city is uniquely its own, but having visited Los Angeles, Seattle and many times Portland, Oregon, San Francisco isn't quite like any other west coast urban destination. In fact, I have to agree with Cecil Beaton,"San Francisco is perhaps the most European of all American cities". Now, New Orleans certainly is a destination unique infused with French and Spanish cuisine and history, but San Francisco involves more ease and community than any other major urban city I have visited, sports the most delectable food options, offers transportation that is varied and easier than any other American city I have traveled, as well as a temperate climate that is never too extreme in any season. Again this is my opinion, but perhaps Twiggy is right, "I’m just mad for San Francisco. It is like London and Paris stacked on top of each other". But I am getting ahead of myself gushing about San Francisco. I'd like to share with you all that we experienced in a mere 72 hours this past week, offer up some recommendations, and perhaps encourage you to either visit or return to the Paris of the West (an old term used primarily in the late nineteenth early 20th century largely because of the three waves of French immigrants arriving in San Francisco beginning in 1849 with the Gold Rush, in 1852-53 when Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte III offering a national lottery of trips to California to rid the country of his intellectual opponents, and a third wave of many women and children as in San Francisco's early days, the city was comprised of 90% men. In short order, in 1852, six thousand of the city's 36,000 residents were French). No wonder I love this city so much. :) I've organized today's episode/post into the three fundamental parts for any trip to any country/city to be most successful. Thinking of it as the tripod foundation of traveling with ease: knowing how to get around to wherever you want to go (transportation), knowing you have a comfortable and safe place to sleep at night, and knowing you will be fed to satisfy your appetite. Where to eat, sleep and get about. Once these three decisions are made, reserved and settled, I am able to loosen up on the itinerary and also relax and look forward to my trip. Let's begin the 72-hour visit to San Francisco. The good news is you don't have to make your plans too far in advance to still have a wonderful experience. Case in point, for our trip last week, the trip was decided upon in April. Plane tickets and hotel arrangements were made, and then one month prior to the trip, dinner reservations were made as well. The only piece of the three part puzzle was to tend to the on-the-ground transportation, which I had researched, and will talk about more below. ~Fisherman's Wharf - classic fishermen’s boats docked in the bay.~ When to visit: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." —Mark Twain Depending upon the weather you hope to experience, as one of our Uber drivers who has lived in the city for decades shared with us, don't come in June, July and August and expect traditional summer temperatures. Nope. While there is the rare extremely warm day as there was a couple of weeks ago, the average high in the summer is low 70s - expect the fog to roll in and out throughout the day and if you're by the bay, the wind will rip through in the afternoon. If you are looking for the idyllic weather, our driver, after sharing Twain's quote above, suggested coming in September and October. I quickly took note. The rain will abate in April and not truly return until November. Again, taking the advice of the driver, so readers who live in the Bay Area or who have lived in the area, please do confirm or correct. Also, we traveled during the work week. The opportunity to arrive on a Tuesday and return on a Thursday was perfect for the pace of everyday life. Nothing was too extremely tourist-laden (there was still an abundance), the evenings were very quiet on the street as we had a street-side window, and traffic at the airport and getting about was as would be expected in any work day scenario - rush-hour, etc. Whenever you visit, bring layers. One day we both were kissed by the sunshine more than we expected, but in the evening we needed a jacket. My mother packed her light-weight cashmere scarf, which was perfect. I saw many people with scarves. What did I forget, of all things? A scarf. I won't forget again. It is a city in which to wear a scarf. How to Get Around Once You Arrive BART - from the SFO airport, the Bay Area Rapid Transit is a very affordable and dependable way to reach the city. We took BART into the city with our luggage with great ease. It was helpful that the line basically begins at the airport, so you have a pick of where to sit and can get situated with your luggage before you get into the heart of the city at which time the train became very full (morning rush hour). The cost was $2.50/person versus a $45+ cab or Uber fare. ~waiting for the airport shuttle to take us to the BART airport stop~ Trolley/Cable Car - $2.75/adult; $1.35/senior - There are only three lines that the Trolley/Cable Cars travel, but they are easy to find on a transportation map. We relied primarily on the trolley throughout our trip. You pay in cash or can purchase a pass online. The fare is good for two hours if you buy a single pass. Each of the many cars we rode on were exceptionally clean, and the drivers very helpful. Bus — We happened to ride a bus one evening as it was serving the same line as the trolley car we had arrived on. The transportation map makes it easy to see where to get on and where they stop, and the pass you use for the trolley/cable cars works the same way. Uber/Lyft versus Taxis - We chose to use Ubers the entire time we were in the city when a trolley wouldn't get us where we needed to go and it was too far to walk, but we also wanted to make to our destination quickly (across the Bay Bridge, to the Golden Gate Bridge and to the Richmond neighborhood). I prefer to take Uber/Lyft because I know what my fare will be upfront. Taking six Uber rides during our trip, we were in a car in fewer than 10 minutes, the cars were clean, the drivers friendly if we chose to talk with them, and we arrived swiftly at our destination). Where to Stay While my list won't be long in this section, what I can share with you is where we did stay during our trip and why I highly recommend it. I know it will not fit everyone's budget nor be what everyone would prefer, but if you are looking for the following, you will be very happy with The Argonaut Hotel on Fisherman's Wharf: Located in North Beach along the Fisherman's Wharf - ideally located for easy access to common sites: Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, a primary Trolley Line that will take you throughout the city, Ferry Building (via Trolley ride), Lombard street, and Little Italy. Comfort - the beds are plush, the rooms are large, and you can reserve a room that will look out onto Fisherman's Wharf Located in a historic building The only hotel on Fisherman's Wharf Quiet - granted, we stayed during a weeknight, but I could not tell we were staying in a city. No tall buildings surrounded us, we woke up to seagulls and even seals saying hello along the bay, and the street doesn't have many cars use it as it isn't a through street to anything of importance to locals or even tourists as the parking lots are set off the shore. Impeccable service - we arrived early - 8:30 am, and while we didn't expect our room to be ready, they found one that was, even gave us a free upgrade and situated us before we went out exploring. If the room hadn't been ready, they would have stored our luggage. ~Fisherman's Wharf seen directly out our hotel room window.~ ~wallpaper in the bathroom~ Where to Eat As one Uber driver who has lived in the city for 22 years told us, San Francisco has always had a strong food culture. Boasting 5000 restaurants, whatever type of cuisine you prefer, you will be able to find it. While he couldn't guarantee it would be delicious fare at every destination, he did note that you can find many wonderful places throughout the city and Bay Area. So let me share with you four places I HIGHLY recommend. Tartine - If you are looking for French bakery buttery goodness, visit Tartine Bakery (the original bakery that opened about 15 years ago) and/or Tartine Manufactory (sit down for breakfast and lunch). The two locations are about 10 short blocks away from each other. Pearl 6101 Restaurant - Having been opened for about a year, this Richmond neighborhood located restaurant opens at 8 am for breakfast and lunch (closing 1t 2pm), and opens for dinner at 5pm, running until 10 pm. They have brunch on Sundays. ~the scrambled egg plate and avocado toast~ Boulettes Larder + Bouli Bar - Located in the Ferry Building on the far right corner next to Sur la Table, this two-part restaurant offers scrumptious seasonal and locally sourced meals. Boulettes Larder is the light and bright restaurant space that is open for lunch and breakfast (dinners are only reserved for special group occasions, as I learned later). BouliBar (where we dined) is where they serve lunch and dinner, and the pizza as well as other items on the menu will please your palette immensely. My slow baked King Salmon set atop a bed of millet and vegetables dressed in sparkling vinaigrette was mouth-watering delicious. Paired with a glass of rosé - yum. ~the dining room for Boullettes Larder (open to the public for breakfast and lunch; private group dinners in the evening)~ ~Bouli Bar (open for lunch and dinners for the public)~ ~Pistachio Cake with strawberry ice cream~ Chez Panisse - Yep, Alice Waters' famed restaurant in Berkley. A dream of a experience, of which I will share in detail on Wednesday of this week, so do stop by. Reservations are taken only one month in advance on the day you wish you dine, but one month prior. Call on that day, when hours of operation begin. Every night a different menu. Every menu is seasonal and sourced locally. You can keep your menu. I had mine signed by the waiter. That is how awesome and, perhaps in admiration I am, of this restaurant. It exceeded my expectations. Stop by Wednesday to find out exactly why. ~the entrance to Chez Panisse in Berkeley~ ~the menus - guests can keep them~ ~dessert: Savarin cake with fresh summer berries and candied pistachios~ Now it's time to tailor it what you love Each one of us who visits San Francisco will come to the city for different and special reason. As I shared in last Friday's weekly newsletter with subscribers, my visit was all about the food in preparation for The Simply Luxurious Kitchen's upcoming second season. And the city did not disappoint. However, there were a few other places we took the time to see and experience, and I'd like to share them below in case you too might be curious to check them out. Beautiful views of The Golden Gate Bridge - visit Baker's Beach Consignment Clothing, designer options galore at reasonable prices - Goodbyes (two shops) on Sacramento. To see an infinite amount of flowers - The San Francisco Flower Market Luxuriate in the splendid scent of sourdough bread - Boudin at the Wharf (Fisherman's Wharf) The Ferry Building - farmers market Tuesday and Thursday beginning at 10 am (small); Saturday at 10 am (large) All of the shops inside the building are opened each day (this is also where Bouletttes Larder + BouliBar is located Frog's Hollow Bakery is scrumptious as well and located next to Boulettes Larder So many delicious food-inspired businesses inside. Ghirardelli's Square — Of course, you will find the Ghirardelli's Chocolate shops inside this square, but there are also many other shops, boutiques and restaurants. The view of the bay is lovely, and the park in front, as it is situated next to The Argonaut, was some place I enjoyed just sitting and relaxing after a long day of exploring. ~Ghirardelli's Square in the background, park in the foreground~ With the 72 hour trip nearing an end, we decided to hop in an Uber to take us to the airport as we didn't want to lug our luggage onto BART amongst the crowds, although, it wouldn't have been impossible to do, we were just tired. In a swift 30 minute time period, leaving from our hotel, we were at the airport ready to return to Bend. While I knew we had soaked up every minute of our trip seeing and exploring and eating, we also were able to take a nap each day which for me was absolutely necessary. But even with the naps, I slept deeply and quite more at length this past weekend than I have in awhile. What a pleasure this trip was, and I am thankful it is only a 90 minute flight away. Needless to say, with even more recommendations from readers, and places I look forward to visiting again, I look forward to returning. "Leaving San Francisco is like saying goodbye to an old sweetheart. You want to linger as long as possible." —Walter Kronkite Be sure to stop by the blog later in the week for a detailed post on Chez Panisse. ~None of this trip was sponsored and all was entirely planned according to my own curiosities and predilections.

In episode 29 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed considering dyslexia amongst the photographic community, whether the expectation for writing to support photography is necessary, and where photographers are today with the moving image. Plus this week Grant re-visits a recorded conversation from 2011 with legendary photographer David Bailey. In this brief edited extract Bailey uses some strong language to deliver his thoughts on how people see him, the importance of cameras to photography, and the problems of achieving success early on in his career. As always with Bailey he doesn't mince his words! In 1959, Bailey became a photographic assistant at the John French studio, and in 1960, he was a contracted as a fashion photographer for British Vogue magazine. Along with Terence Donovan and Brian Duffy, Bailey captured and helped create the 'Swinging London' of the 1960s. The three photographers socialised with actors, musicians and royalty, and found themselves elevated to celebrity status, named by fellow photographer Norman Parkinson 'The Black Trinity'. 'Swinging London' was aptly reflected in his Box of Pin-Ups(1964): a box of poster-prints of 1960s celebrities including Terence Stamp, The Beatles, Mick Jagger, Jean Shrimpton, Cecil Beaton, Rudolf Nureyev, Andy Warhol and notorious East End gangsters, the Kray's. Strong objection to the presence of the Krays by fellow photographer, Lord Snowdon, was the major reason no American edition of the Box was released, and that a second British edition was not issued. Bailey's ascent at Vogue was meteoric and, at the height of his productivity, he shot 800 pages of Vogue editorial in one year. Since 1966, Bailey has also directed several television commercials and documentaries. From 1968 to 1971 he directed and produced TV documentaries titled Beaton, Warhol and Visconti. As well as fashion photography, Bailey photographed album sleeve art for musicians including The Rolling Stones. In 1976, Bailey co-published Ritz Newspaper. In 1985, he documented the Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium. In 1995 he directed and wrote the South Bank Film The Lady is a Tramp featuring his wife Catherine Bailey. In 1998 he directed a documentary, Models Close Up, commissioned by Channel 4. In 2012, the BBC made a film of the story of his 1962 New York photoshoot with Jean Shrimpton, titled We'll Take Manhattan. He continues to work for a variety of editorial clients including Vogue and publish books of work from his archive and of new work. He does not have a website for his work.

Ingen annan moderedaktör har blivit så omtalad och så mytomspunnen som Diana Vreeland (1903-1989) vars namn än idag väcker respekt, och intresse trots att det är över tjugo år sedan hon dog. Just nu är hon extra aktuell genom en bok och en dokumentärfilm som båda bär hennes namn: Diana Vreeland - The Eye Has To Travel. I veckans STIL tittar vi lite närmare på denna kvinna som satt mitt i modesmeten i nästan femtio år. Diana Vreeland började som moderedaktör för Harper's Bazaar 1936, där hon stannade i tjugofem år innan hon blev utnämnd till chefredaktör för Vogue. En tidning som hon lyfte till nya moderna höjder under 1960-talet. Två nummer i månaden producerade hon, med aldrig sviktande kvalitet och överraskande vinklar på traditionella ämnen. ”Diana Vreeland uppfann moderedaktören”, hävdade den ansedde fotografen Richard Avedon med vilken hon länge samarbetade. Från Vogue fick hon sparken 1971. Det var nya kärva ekonomiska tider och ingen plats fanns för en kvinna med nollkoll på utgifter. Men kort därefter inledde hon en ny karriär som ansvarig för kostymavdelningen på Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art i New York. Det är henne som museet kan tacka för att avdelningen blivit en publikmagnet med besökssiffror i miljonnivå – och en förebild för andra museers modeavdelningar. I programmet berättar vi mer om Diana Vreeland och hennes strävan efter att skapa skönhet, en längtan som fick bränsle av hennes mamma som deklarerade: ”Det är tråkigt att du har en sådan vacker syster när du är så väldigt ful”, som hon sade. För Diana Vreeland var ingen skönhet utan snarare fulsnygg, med prominent näsa, svart färgat hår lackat med hårspray och en utpräglad gångstil med utskjutna höfter. Den kände fotografen Cecil Beaton beskrev henne som ”en elegant trana som med långa kliv tar sig ur ett kärr”. Mammans ord skavde hela livet men fick henne att arbeta hårt och målmedvetet på att skapa sig ett eget universum, som hon gärna delade med sig av. En värld många än idag fascineras av. Vi har även talat med Lisa Immordino Vreeland, som är gift med ett av Diana Vreelands barnbarn, och som står bakom boken och filmen Diana Vreeland – The Eye Has To Travel. Hon ville veta mer om denna berömda kvinna vars namn fortfarande nämns med vördnad och respekt, och började forska. Det var inte lätt. Diana Vreeland tog lätt på det här med fakta och hittade gärna på historier som inte var helt med sanningen överensstämmande, men nästan. Men vad spelade det för roll? Underhållande var det. Det var även hon, som gärna bjöd hem gäster till sitt vardagsrum som hon ville ha inrett som ”En helvetesträdgård”, a garden in hell. Med tapeter har vi talat med Hanna Werning. ”En ny klänning tar dig ingenstans, utan det gör livet du lever i klänningen”, hävdade Diana Vreeland. Varför köpa, om man kan låna kläder? Lena Patriksson Keller på Patriksson Communication berättar i programmet om vilka de lånar ut kläder till, och varför.
I veckans STIL ägnar vi oss åt cocktails och cigaretter, rappa repliker och utstuderad manlig elegans. Vi ska nämligen gå i Noël Cowards (1899-1973) fotspår. Genom sin snofsiga stil skapade nämligen denne brittiske dramatiker, skådespelare och kompositör ett mode som följdes av gemene man. Alla sorters män ville se ut som Noël Coward elegant slätkammad, välklädd i siden med en cigarett, en telefon eller en cocktail vid sin sida, som den brittiske fotografen Cecil Beaton konstaterade. Från det tidiga 1920-talet, ända fram in på 50-talet, var Noël Coward en stilförebild, i många bemärkelser.

About 60 of his photographs, many never before exhibited, along with more than 40 photographs by his contemporaries, including Cecil Beaton, Walker Evans, and Alfred Stieglitz, will appear side-by-side with 20 of the African objects featured in the images. The exhibition explores the pivotal role of these photographs in shaping the perception of non-Western objects as fine art. Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens is organized by International Arts and Artists.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the journalist and writer Anne Scott-James. Now in her 92nd year, Anne Scott-James came from a line of critics and writers and became one of the first women career journalists, editors and columnists, before embarking on a second career as the author of a series of gardening books. After Oxford she joined Vogue - first as an assistant to a secretary and then went from writing the odd picture caption to proper articles. She became editor of Harper's Bazaar - and during her magazine career she commissioned work from such figures as Cecil Beaton, John Betjemen and Elizabeth David. Her marriage to Macdonald Hastings collapsed and in the early 60s she met the writer and illustrator Sir Osbert Lancaster and they married in 1967. At around the same time she embarked on a new stage in her career - gardening writing. Her first book, Down to Earth, and The Pleasure Garden, which she produced jointly with Sir Osbert, are now being republished as gardening classics.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Double Concerto for Two Violins in D by Johann Sebastian Bach Book: Semi-attached Couple by Emily Eden Luxury: Nightdress made of pure white cotton
