Vi bor på Carlton Club på St James's street, klubben där det nuvarande torypartiet bildades, fast lokalerna tog de över först 1940, efter en tysk bomb. Kungen fyller åttio och fick passande nog en fin Märta Måås-Fjetterström-matta. Kungen är intresserad av hantverk. Vi har sett en fantastisk utställning om Elsa Schiaparelli på Victoria & Albertmuséet. Otroliga kreationer av den första modeskaparen som verkligen gjorde konst av sitt hantverk. Ingrid Giertz-Mårtenson kommer att skriva om utställningen i Fokus, ingen kunde göra det bättre. Tracey Emin på Tate Modern inte så kul, hon är som en hispig tonårsbrud som aldrig utvecklas. Stig Strömholm har skrivit en fantastisk understreckare om 1870 års män, apropå en bok av Per Wästberg om Bo Bergman. De hade nyanserade, vuxna liv. Johan tänker på Hans L Zetterberg och hans tal om samhällets sfärer. De har blivit färre. Lite onödigt med överpriserna för att inreda Sagerska huset. En skithistoria, men lite av Konsultsverige möter resten av Sverige. Kvartals story om SOM-undersökningarna som antagligen överskattar förtroendet för Public service och delvis finansieras av Public service är bra, men problemet har varit tydligt hela tiden: förtroendet för PS växer vänsterut, sjunker högerut. Novus konstaterar att tre av fyra upplever samtalstonen inom politiken som ohövlig. Simona Mohamsson kanske inte vet så mycket, men har gott humör i motgång. Rädda våtmarkerna har skattefuskat, men de är svenska anarkister, så de böjer sig för Förvaltningsdomstolen. Oförklarlig trötthet ej oförklarlig: träna mindre. Vi gillar fortfarande våra favoritkrogar i London: The Wolseley, Mr Chow, Simpsons-in-the-Strand och så vidare. Men London har blivit mer privat. Bra att Operan i Stockholm kan renoveras och bli kvar, tack vare privata finansiärer. Blir det bensinransonering? Vi ser fram emot gengasen. Hosted on Acast.

TODAY on the GWA podcast: curator SONNET STANFILL on ELSA SCHIAPARELLI! Sonnet is the Senior Curator of Fashion at the V&A, where she has worked since 1999. Stanfill has curated numerous highly acclaimed exhibitions, such as New York Fashion Now, Ballgowns: British Glamour since 1950, and the landmark The Glamour of Italian Fashion (2014), which traveled to several museums across the US. She has published and lectured widely on various aspects of fashion design and holds an MA in the history of dress. But the reason why we are speaking with her today is because she has just curated the monumental exhibition, Elsa Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the V&A, which charts the fearless life and daring work of the artist, designer, surrealist, influencer and general pioneer of who the modern woman was and what she could be. A creator of surrealist wonderlands with her fantastical gowns with floating eyes, lips, and lobsters, woven jackets embellished with astrological symbolism and mirrors inspired by Versailles, plus carrot-shaped buttons with embroidered cauliflowers, Schiaparelli – who also made jewellery and perfumes and wrote extensively – was one of the most inventive people of the 20th century. Born in Rome in 1890, she fled her conservative life for London, New York, and later Paris, where she befriended the surrealists and built a business on a scale hardly any woman had done before.

To mark the opening of Schiaparelli's exhibition Fashion Meets Art at the V&A, I met Marisa Berenson at Claridge's for a thoughtful and quietly fascinating conversation about her life, work, and remarkable family legacy.As the granddaughter of Elsa Schiaparelli, Marisa grew up close to one of fashion's true innovators—someone who blurred the lines between couture and art long before it became a conversation. We talk about Elsa not just as a cultural force, but as a grandmother: her wit, her discipline, and the world she created around her.Marisa's wider family story is equally rich, spanning figures such as art historian Bernard Berenson and astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli. Discovered by Diana Vreeland as a teenager, she went on to become one of the defining faces of the 1970s, collaborating with an extraordinary roster of photographers including Avedon, Newton, Bailey, Penn, Bert Stern, Slim Aarons, Guy Bourdin and Cecil Beaton.She also reflects on her film career, from Death in Venice to Barry Lyndon, and offers clear-eyed insights into navigating both the fashion and film worlds.We return to Elsa in the context of the V&A exhibition—what it captures, what it leaves unsaid, and how her legacy continues to shape the way fashion and art intersect today.#marisaberenson #schiaparelli #icon #fashion #artDownload, it's a masterpieceSpecial thanks to @marisaberensonofficial @claridgesProduced by @martinlumsdenMusic by @robinkatz_ Hosted on Acast.

The Grand Palais in Paris this week unveiled an enormous exhibition focusing on the final 13 years of Henri Matisse's life and work, a project conceived by the Centre Pompidou. The show includes abundant examples of the celebrated gouache cut-outs, his works for the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence, and his final paintings, drawings, and illustrated books, among much else. Ben Luke interviews the exhibition's curator, the Centre Pompidou's Claudine Grammont, in Paris. The latest edition of Art Basel Hong Kong opened this week amid much uncertainty about the Hong Kong art world after a prolonged downturn in the Chinese economy. Yet, some commentators are suggesting that Hong Kong has turned a corner. The Art Newspaper's chief contributing editor, Gareth Harris, has been in Hong Kong this week and tells us what he discovered. And for this episode's Work of the Week, we focus on a related painting and dress. The painting is Salvador Dalí's Necrophiliac Spring (1936), which was owned by the fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli; the dress is the Tears Dress with Veil, from Schiaparelli's Circus Collection of 1938, made with a fabric designed by Dalí. The painting and the garment are in Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which opens this weekend, and Ben talks to Rosalind McKeever, one of the three curators of the exhibition, about the pairing.Matisse 1941-1954, Grand Palais, Paris, until 26 July.

Thời còn trẻ, nhà thiết kế Paul Poiret nổi tiếng không kém gì Coco Chanel. Tạp chí thời trang lừng danh Vogue từng so sánh tài năng của ông ngang hàng với Christian Dior. Nhưng ngày nay, tên tuổi của Paul Poiret lại bị lãng quên, cho dù gương mặt tiên phong của trường phái Art Déco đã có công thay đổi thời trang phái nữ một cách sâu rộng. Tên tuổi của Paul Poiret gắn liền với thời kỳ Belle Époque đầu thế kỷ XX, thời Paris là kinh đô xa hoa, ngập tràn sáng tạo, phù phiếm lễ hội. Xu hướng thời trang thịnh hành lúc bấy giờ là những chiếc váy « lưng ong » đề cao những đường cong bằng chiếc áo corset nịt ngực. Với tư cách là học trò của hai nhà thiết kế lớn thời bấy giờ là Jacques Doucet và Charles Frederick Worth, ông Paul Poiret đã phá vỡ khuôn thước thẩm mỹ này, giúp « tháo gỡ » những ràng buộc trên cơ thể phụ nữ bằng cách thiết kế những kiểu váy với đường thằng đơn giản hơn (kiểu áo Joséphine, vợ của hoàng đế Napoléon). Chiếc áo nịt ngực thắt lưng (corset) nhường chỗ lại cho một dải ruy băng mềm mại, giúp cho phụ nữ đi đứng thoải mái. Trong vai trò của một người tiên phong (nổi danh cùng thời với bà Jeanne Lanvin), nhà thiết kế Paul Poiret đã ý thức rất sớm về tiềm năng của thương hiệu, ngoài trang phục ông cho sản xuất thêm các chai nước hoa, phụ kiện thời trang và nhiều sản phẩm khác. Để vinh danh tài năng này, Viện bảo tàng Nghệ thuật Trang trí ở quận 1, Paris tổ chức một cuộc triển lãm lớn « Paul Poiret :La mode est une fête » (Thời trang như lễ hội) từ đây cho tới trung tuần tháng Giêng năm 2026. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI ban tiếng Pháp, cô Marie-Sophie Caron de la Carrière trưởng ban điều hành triển lãm và đồng thời là giám tuyển nghệ thuật cho biết đôi nét về thân thế sự nghiệp của ông Paul Poiret. Marie-Sophie Caron de la Carrière: Paul Poiret (1879-1944) là dân Paris chính hiệu, ông sinh trưởng trong một gia đình khá giả, bố ông à một nhà buôn vải cho nên ông đã lớn lên trong thế giới của gấm vóc, lụa là. Từ khi còn nhỏ, ông đã nuôi mộng trở thành một nhà thiết kế thời trang. Sự kiện quan trọng thúc đẩy ông chọn nghề này là khi cùng với song thân, ông đi xem cuộc Triển lãm Toàn cầu tại Paris năm 1889. Ông có kể lại điều này trong quyển hồi ký của mình. Vào lúc ấy, ông khám phá được nhiều nền văn hóa mà không cần phải đi đâu xa : nguyên tắc chính của Triển lãm Toàn cầu là mỗi quốc gia tham dự đều có một không gian triển lãm riêng để giới thiệu những nét hay nhất trong văn hóa nước nhà. Chính điều này đã khơi dậy sự tò mò, cũng như niềm khao khát được đi xa và khám phá những chân trời khác biệt. Những kiểu áo dài caftan của Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ, khăn xếp Ba Tư hay kimono của Nhật Bản đều gợi hứng rất nhiều cho Paul Poiret thiết kế các kiểu áo như váy hình chụp đèn, áo đầm suông, áo lụa rũ xếp. Nơi Paul Poiret, các kiểu áo may thẳng thon dài mềm mại, không còn siết chặt vòng eo khiến cho vóc dáng phụ nữ không còn giống như chiếc đồng hồ cát. Cuộc triển lãm lần này nhằm giúp cho giới trẻ thời nay khám phá (lại) nhà thiết kế thời trang Paul Poiret, thực sự là một nhân vật không may đã bị lãng quên, chính những sản phẩm của thương hiệu này giờ đây cũng không còn tồn tại nữa. Trong cuộc triển lãm này, có trích dẫn câu nói nổi tiếng của nhà thiết kế người Pháp Christian Dior về bậc đàn anh, theo đó ông Paul Poiret đã bước vào ngành thời trang cao cấp để rồi khuynh đảo mọi thứ. Vậy thì ông Paul Poiret đã thay đổi điều gì ? Cô Marie-Sophie Caron de la Carrière, giám tuyển nghệ thuật nhận xét : Marie-Sophie Caron de la Carrière : Theo tôi, ông Paul Poiret đã đem lại hai sự thay đổi lớn cho làng thời trang. Đầu tiên hết, ông đã hoàn toàn biến đổi vóc dáng của phụ nữ : quan niệm về nữ tính không chỉ được gắn liền với những đường cong trên cơ thể của người đàn bà. Từ khi mới vào nghề, ông đã muốn khuynh đảo những khuôn thước có sẵn cũng như những người bạn họa sĩ của ông đã từng làm với trường phái « dã thú ». Để phá vỡ truyền thống của chiếc corset, ông đã trao dồi tay nghề với Jacques Doucet và sau đó nữa là với Charles Frederick Worth. Hiệu thời trang « House of Worth » chuyên phục vụ giới quý tộc châu Âu hoặc giới thượng lưu ở Mỹ thời bấy giờ. Các kiểu váy xòe, với nhiều thước vải khiến cho phụ nữ không dễ chuyển động, đứng ngồi. Việc lược bỏ các chi tiết rườm rà, thiết kế từ những năm 1910 những đường nét vuông vức thẳng đứng, khiến cho Paul Poiret trở thành gương mặt tiên phong của trường phái Art Déco, thịnh hành từ năm 1925. Yếu tố quan trọng thứ nhì là Paul Poiret không những thay đổi hình dáng của phụ nữ mà còn thay đổi luôn vai trò của một nhà thiết kế thời trang. Nhà thiết kế không còn đơn thuần may quần áo theo đơn đặt hàng, mà thực sự góp phần làm cho cuộc sống tươi đẹp hơn. Ngoài thiết kế trang phục, Paul Poiret còn thành lập một công ty chuyên về trang trí nội thất, sản xuất nước hoa và mỹ phẩm. Đây là một thay đổi lớn trong ngành thời trang, khi nhà thiết kế có một tầm nhìn và lối tiếp cận toàn diện hơn về phụ nữ cũng như môi trường sống của họ. Paul Poiret đã sáng tạo ra điều mà thời nay được gọi là « liefestyle » (có nghĩa là lối sống hay phong cách sống). Các nhà thiết kế sau đó như Giogio Armani hay Ralph Lauren đều nâng lifestyle lên hàng nghệ thuật, rồi trở thành nhưng vị đại sứ toàn cầu cho gu thẩm mỹ thời trang. Thời trang không còn đơn thuần là quần áo, mà còn thể hiện một lối sống bao gồm cả thói quen và sở thích, từ chuyện ăn uống đến chơi thể thao hay giải trí. Chỉ riêng về điểm này có thể nói là ông Paul Poiret là một nhân vật tiên phong, đi trước thời của mình trước ngày đời của các thuật ngữ như lifestyle (phong cách sống) hoặc marketing (tiếp thị). Nhân cuộc triển lãm tại Bảo tàng Nghệ thuật trang trí ở Paris, nhiều mùi nước hoa đã được tái tạo hơn một thế kỷ sau lần phát hành đầu tiên, như mùi hương Rosine mang tên con gái của Paul Poiret hay là kiểu chai nước hoa « Le Fruit Défendu » (Trái cấm) ăn khách vào đầu thế kỷ XX. Paul Poiret đã vào nghề thiết kế gần 10 năm trước Chanel. Ngoài đời, hai công ty này là đối thủ cạnh tranh, với phong cách thời trang hoàn toàn khác biệt. Câu hỏi đặt ra là tại sao Chanel nay vẫn là một thương hiệu toàn cầu trong khi Paul Poiret giờ đây lại không còn tồn tại ? Marie-Sophie Caron de la Carrière : Một hiệu thời trang thực sự tồn tại khi nhà thiết kế có được một sự hậu thuẫn vững chắc về mặt tài chính. Chẳng hạn như hiệu Yves Saint Laurent tồn tại được lâu nhờ vào ông Pierre Bergé. Còn trong trường hợp của hiệu Chanel, gia đình Wertheimer, qua thỏa thuận hợp tác với Chanel, đã giúp cho thương hiệu trải qua bao sóng gió. Về phía Paul Poiret, ông đã không lập quan hệ đối tác với bất cứ nhà đầu tư nào, mục đích của ông là duy trì tính độc lập, quyền kiểm soát công ty, để làm theo ý mình. Vấn đề ở đây là Paul Poiret đã không trông rộng nhìn xa : do không đủ nguồn tài chính, công ty Paul Poiret đã sụp đổ khá nhanh sau khi Đệ nhất Thế chiến bùng nổ, thương hiệu này rốt cuộc đã biến mất. Một trong những điểm thành công trong cuộc triển lãm về Paul Poiret, là ban tổ chức đã tạo ra được một cuộc đối thoại giữa các tác phẩm thời xưa với các sáng tạo thời nay, cho thấy được tầm ảnh hưởng của ông lên thế hệ nghệ sĩ lừng danh đi sau kể cả Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint-Laurent hay Castelbaljac. Các bộ sưu tập của họ từng gợi hứng ít nhiều từ những tác phẩm của bậc tiền bối. Thực tế cho thấy thương hiệu này không còn tồn tại, nhưng trước sự đóng góp của Paul Poiret cho làng thời trang, thủ đô Paris ,tuy không thể trả lại cho hoàng đế César một ngai vàng, nhưng vẫn khôi phục phần nào ánh hào quang của một tài năng không may bị chìm vào quên lãng.

Sur les podiums, elles sont omniprésentes, mais en coulisses, les hommes qui dirigent les grandes maisons de couture sont beaucoup plus nombreux. Dans les dernières sélections de directeurs artistiques, seuls deux noms de femmes émergent contre une dizaine d'hommes – et bien peu de diversité.

Abby and Patrick welcome Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, to discuss her new book, Dress, Dreams, and Desire: Fashion and Psychoanalysis, and the exhibition of the same name that opened this week. What does “fashion” mean, and why are so many psychoanalysts and cultural gatekeepers so resistant to think about the topic critically? How do society's codes of dress reflect logics of identity, especially when it comes to gender, and how are those norms policed – and subverted? How does clothing mediate our first-person experience of our own bodies, how do clothes and nakedness recur in our fantasies and dreams, and how do we use attire to communicate with others while alternately armoring and revealing ourselves? A renowned historian and theorist of fashion, Dr. Steele masterfully walks Abby and Patrick through fashion as a field of overdetermined material commodities and complex articulations of identity and desire. From Freud's anxieties about paying his tailor to Lacan's florid wardrobe to ongoing debates over what therapists should and shouldn't wear; from Elsa Schiaparelli's mirror jackets to Jean Paul Gaultier's bullet bras to Sonia Rykiel's self-caressing knitwear to Timothée Chalamet's Haider Ackermann halter; from commodity fetishism in Marx to fetish objects in Freud; from Lacan's mirror stage to Joan Riviere's theories of masking and masquerade to the “skin ego” of Didier Anzieu; from high culture to low, and from the runway to the consulting room and beyond, it's a stylish and provocative grand tour of fashion, psychoanalysis, and the ways we all use clothes, like it or not, to literally fashion ourselves.The exhibition Dress, Dreams, and Desire: Fashion and Psychoanalysis runs from September 10th 2025 to January 4th 2026 at the Museum at FIT (227 West 27th Street, New York, NY) and is free and open to the public: https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/dress-dreams-desire/index.phpSteele's book Dress, Dreams, and Desire: A History of Fashion and Psychoanalysis will be released on October 30th 2025: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/dress-dreams-and-desire-9781350428195/MFIT will host a Fashion and Psychoanalysis Symposium on Friday, November 14, 2025.

Welcome to Luxe Stories, a new original series on SiriusXM that delves into the untold stories behind the world's most iconic luxury brands.In our premiere episode, we focus on the enigmatic Coco Chanel—the woman who revolutionized modern fashion and whose aesthetic style became a symbol of cultural transformation."Joining host Pauline is renowned fashion historian and New York Times columnist Rhonda Garelick. Together, they explore Coco's difficult early years -- how they shaped her tastes and fueled her rise.They also confront her wartime affiliations with the Nazi party, affairs with powerful men, conflicts with her longtime business partners, and bitter rivalries with other designers like Elsa Schiaparelli and Paul Poiret.Finally, they reflect on how her successor, Karl Lagerfeld, rescued the brand from near obscurity, how he transformed it with his own bold vision and unapologetic flair, and how Coco herself might react to her brand today as well as the fashion industry that she once ruled.

Alessandra Avagliano"elsa avant elsa"Elsa Schiaparelli. Roma, New York, ParigiGallerie Nazionali Barberini CorsiniElectawww.electa.it"Elsa avant Elsa" a cura di Francesco Pastore, Alessandra AvaglianoE' un libro-mondo, ideato dalle Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica insieme all'Accademia dei Lincei e alla Maison Schiaparelli, in cui per la prima volta è ricostruito l'ambiente di formazione e di successiva ispirazione della rivoluzionaria creatrice di arte e di moda Elsa Schiaparelli: la Roma classica, i suoi monumenti, i suoi giardini, la biblioteca “di casa” a Palazzo Corsini. Per la prima volta vengono così rintracciati e restituiti al lettore echi e rimandi antichi, vere e proprie citazioni della Roma classica e rinascimentale nella sua produzione di stilista, che si mescoleranno e in parte mitigheranno l'esuberanza e la vitalità del surrealismo. In una parola, il libro disegna la sua costellazione formativa: in copertina è raffigurata l'Orsa Maggiore che l'amato zio Giovanni, celebre astronomo, sosteneva fosse disegnata nei suoi nei del viso e che divenne una immagine talismano per Elsa. Inoltre, nelle pagine spicca il contrappunto cromatico del colore rosa, il “marchio di fabbrica” della sua produzione artistica.La prima sezione del volume analizza l'ambiente familiare e culturale della prima giovinezza di Elsa, nella Roma nei primi del Novecento. Le persone e i libri che la circondano nutrono la sua attrazione per i mondi lontani, in particolare per l'Oriente, suggestioni continue che riemergeranno nei suoi processi creativi.La seconda sezione, dedicata a New York, rappresenta il capitolo successivo del viaggio della stilista e segna il passaggio dalla tradizione europea alla modernità e al dinamismo americano. L'intreccio tra avanguardia e humor, il gusto per il travestimento e il radicalismo glamour di questo periodo rimarranno sempre con lei.La terza parte del libro riguarda il soggiorno a Parigi, dove Elsa raggiunge la sua consacrazione fondando la Maison Schiaparelli. Grazie anche alle collaborazioni con artisti del calibro di Salvador Dalì e Jean Cocteau, Schiaparelli trasforma la moda in un'esperienza unica e creativa, definendo un linguaggio estetico che continua a ispirare stilisti e designer.Testi di Alessandra Avagliano, Ebe Antetomaso, Flaminia Gennari Santori, Francesco Pastore e Luca Scarlini.Progetto grafico di Irene Bacchi e Leonardo Sonnoli, Studio Sonnoli.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

The Monkey Review: This Stephen King Horror Adaptation Will Shock You - In A Good Way

Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast

We are back with another episode of the Fully Booked podcast, and as February drags on, we find ourselves waiting for the winter snow to melt, just like everyone else in Eastern Canada. To shake off the seasonal gloom, we decided to treat ourselves to a movie!Luckily, our timing was perfect because February 21, 2025, marked the release of The Monkey, a film adaptation of a Stephen King short story, directed by Osgood Perkins. Given our love for horror, and with Perkins' track record of unsettling films, we were eager to dive into this adaptation. So, we grabbed our tickets, watched the film, and now we're here to break it down for you.The Story Behind The MonkeyThe movie is based on Stephen King's short story, The Monkey, originally published in Gallery magazine in 1980 and later included in Skeleton Crew (1985), a collection that also contains The Mist - another King classic with multiple adaptations.The story follows Hal Shelburne, a man who, since childhood, has been haunted by a cursed wind-up monkey toy. Someone dies every time the monkey claps its cymbals (or, in the movie's case, beats a drum). As an adult, Hal's past comes back to haunt him when the monkey is rediscovered, dragging his family into a cycle of death and destruction.Though the adaptation stays true to the core concept, the film takes some liberties, including changes to the monkey's mechanics and added layers of dark comedy. The Monkey currently has a 6.5/10 on IMDb, a 79% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 60% audience score. We personally think the audience is wrong - this movie is better than that.A Darkly Comedic and Campy Horror ExperienceOne of the most striking aspects of The Monkey is its unexpected tone. It is absolutely a horror movie, but it also leans into an absurd, almost slapstick, dark comedy style that took us by surprise. We laughed - a lot.The film is directed by Osgood Perkins, who comes from a long line of cinematic and artistic figures. His father, Anthony Perkins, famously played Norman Bates in Psycho, and his mother, Berry Berenson, was a photographer, actress, and model. His grandfather was a silent film actor, and his maternal grandmother was Elsa Schiaparelli, a legendary fashion designer. With this rich lineage, it's no wonder Perkins has carved out a unique space in horror filmmaking.Perkins has directed eerie and atmospheric films like The Blackcoat's Daughter and I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, but The Monkey is a departure from his usual style. It leans into camp, exaggeration, and grotesque humor. While some horror fans might find the film's comedic undertones off-putting, we found them incredibly entertaining. There's a certain madcap energy to the way events unfold - especially in the film's death scenes - that makes it feel like a Final Destination movie, but funnier and more stylized.The Plot: A Family Cursed by a Sinister ToyThe movie follows Hal Shelburne and his twin brother, Bill, from childhood into adulthood. As kids, they stumble upon their father's old belongings and find the wind-up monkey. When they activate it, strange and horrifying deaths follow.The film opens with a chilling cold open - one of the best we've seen in a while - where their father, played by Adam Scott, tries to get rid of the monkey in a pawn shop, only for a brutal series of events to unfold, leading to his own gruesome death. The family, unaware of what really happened, believes he simply abandoned them.As the story unfolds, we see how the curse haunts both brothers in different ways. Hal isolates himself, fearing that anyone close to him is in danger, while Bill grows more obsessed, believing he can control the monkey's power. As adults, they each react to their trauma differently, showing how past events shape people in unexpected ways.One of the film's central themes is the illusion of control over fate and death. Both brothers, at different times, believe they can direct the monkey's killings, but ultimately, they cannot. Death is random, and any attempt to manipulate it only leads to destruction.The Kills: A Mix of Horror and Ridiculous GoreIf you're a horror fan who enjoys creative and over-the-top death scenes, The Monkey delivers in spades. The deaths in this movie are insane, brutal, and bizarrely comedic.For example:A woman jumps into a pool only to explode into pieces the moment she touches the water due to an electrical surge.A man shoots a wasp nest, and every wasp flies directly into his mouth, suffocating him.Another victim is trampled to death by horses while trapped inside a sleeping bag, and when they unzip it, all that's left is slush.These deaths don't just shock - they make you laugh at their absurdity. Even the director, Osgood Perkins, mentioned in an interview that audiences laughed so much at the kills that they missed the actual jokes that followed. That's how outrageous some of these moments are.While the film has plenty of gore, it doesn't dwell on it. Each kill happens quickly and unexpectedly, without excessive lingering on the aftermath. This pacing keeps the film moving at a fast clip, making it an incredibly entertaining watch.Performances and Final ThoughtsWe have to give credit to Theo James, who plays both Hal and Bill, delivering two distinct performances that make each brother feel like a separate person. Elijah Wood has a hilarious cameo as a stepfather, bringing his usual quirky charm to the role. Even the child actors playing young Hal and Bill are excellent, carrying much of the film's early tension.There's also an interesting discussion to be had about how trauma shapes people differently, and the film explores the inescapable pull of family ties, no matter how much you try to separate yourself from the past.While The Monkey is undeniably fun and entertaining, it also carries deeper themes of fate, death, and the inability to control life's chaos. The story makes us wonder: If we had the monkey, would we turn the key? Our answer? Absolutely not.This film is one of the most enjoyable horror-comedies we've seen in a while. Whether you're watching it for the bizarre kills, the dark humor, or the unsettling themes, The Monkey is a wild ride that horror fans shouldn't miss. We'll definitely be grabbing the Blu-ray to revisit all the behind-the-scenes details.That concludes our in-depth summary of The Monkey. We're heading into March with a new theme, and while we can't reveal too much yet, let's just say it's going to be a little dark and a little twisted. Stay tuned for more!

Born in 1890 to an aristocratic family in Rome, Elsa's life was anything but conventional. As a child, she released a box of fleas under her parents' dinner table and later staged a hunger strike to escape a Swiss convent. After a whirlwind marriage to a charming con man, she found herself as a single mother in New York, scraping by while mingling with avant-garde artists like Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. It wasn't until she moved to Paris and met legendary designer Paul Poiret that she discovered her true calling: inventing fashion. From surrealist collaborations with Salvador Dalí to creating her signature shocking pink, Schiaparelli defied norms, blending wit, art, and bold femininity. She gave us iconic designs like the lobster dress, the shoe hat, and the first wrap dress. A pioneer who refused to play by the rules, Elsa didn't just make clothes—she made statements.Follow Darrian@iamdarrian ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

II: ⁠patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping⁠ (Full notes viewable via the link) An impromptu Halloween session w/ Orion St. Peter gave birth to this Nicolas Cage dbl feature—in which we discuss occult, cultic, & PTK themes in the loosely defined horror films "Longlegs" & "Mandy", tentpoles of the late Cage capitalism debt-induced “renaissance”. We dig deep into the interplay between the "Longlegs" narrative and director Oz Perkins's personal esoteric & intergenerational familial trauma history, sussing out the sources of inspiration in his own highly strange, quasi-aristocratic pedigree. For ex, his great-grandpa "Count" Wilhelm de Wendt de Kerlor, a psychic detective cum spy in the mold of PPM usual suspects Aleister Crowley or Erik Jan Hanussen who was a member of the Theosophical Society, an avid spiritualist, and supposedly the medium who prophesied tabloid journo & anti sex trafficking crusader W.T. Stead's death on the Titanic... We discuss his Italian great-gma, world-conquering designer (aka Chanel's rival) Elsa Schiaparelli & her affiliations with Dadaists & Surrealists like Dalí and Man Ray, not to mention the fact the de Gaulle government suspected her of collaborating with the 3rd Reich. We unpack how psychic detective de Kerlor appeared on the scene in New Hampshire to "investigate" a murder that two BOI agents linked to German espionage in the Northeast during WWI, and we discuss how de Kerlor & Schiaparelli would be surveilled & interviewed, Wilhelm seemingly under suspicion of serving as a foreign agent. These fascinating, little known histories re Oz Perkins's ancestors are an obvious touchpoint for the clairvoyant FBI agent Lee Harker in the glam Satanic serial-killing-by-sympathetic-magick-or-mind-control flick "Longlegs". We also talk about how it's conceivably 9/11 as Mass Ritual pilled, seeing as Oz's mom Berry Berenson died on Flight 11 on 9/11, which gives one a headrushing vertiginous feeling indeed... Seeing as she's descended from this Theosophist spy. Her BDay is repeatedly woven into the sigilistic & algorithmic subtext of the film. And we also discuss how, on the patrilineal side of Oz's family, his Dad Anthony Perkins's confessed childhood Oedipal complex, the early wished-for death of his father, his lifelong closeted life, and his ultimate succumbing to AIDs... How all of this informed the emotionally-charged, cathartic film & its unspoken traumatic seeds... As we go, our analysis of the film begins to force us to confront a theory where a kind of unstated CSA blackhole is the source of the the Longlegs mystery's gravitational pull. We talk: Mandy dir. Cosmatos's father George Pan Cosmatos's final film “The Shadow Conspiracy” which concerns a pres assassination by drone; both Panos & his Dad having Pan in their names; the Mansonian failed songwriter vibes of both villains Jeremiah Sands & Longlegs; the Mandy scene where a planned ritualized orgy lubricated with “the chemist's best batch” & hallucinogenic wasp injections derails when Mandy openly clowns on the cult leader; Longlegs's character obvs nodding at glam Satanism, Marc Bolan, & David Bowie's infamous “Station to Station”, Dion Fortune-informed exorcism of his possessed indoor pool in what was once stripper & burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee's LA manse; Longlegs's cinematic influences - Fincher fare like Se7en, Zodiac, etc; Silence of the Lambs; Don't Look Now; Altman; Twin Peaks; The Omen; New French Extreme; Gaspar Noe; & Phantasm Many thanks to Orion for jumping on for this spooky dbl feature at such short notice.

Matt Crawford speaks with Therese Casadesus Rawson about her book, My Musical Notes: A Journey in Classical Piano between the World Wars and Beyond. This is actually her mother's book which she has translated and rereleased on the 25th anniversary of her mother Gaby Casadesus' passing.  Chronicling nearly a century of music, Gaby Casadesus' My Musical Notes, recounts the French pianist's remarkable career as half of one of the most extraordinary husband and wife teams in twentieth century classical music, with her husband Robert Casadesus. Told in a lively conversational tone, she evokes the delicate balance between touring and family life, maintaining her own solo career and traveling the world while raising three children. Her decades-long teaching imparted the stylistic legacy of Debussy, Fauré and Ravel, a personal friend to both Robert and Gaby, to generations of young pianists. In this memoir, we experience the bustling Paris of the 1920s and 30s as well as numerous adventures touring North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia while championing French piano repertoire as the internationally recognized duo Robert and Gaby Casadesus. She also details her encounters and collaborations with the greatest names of 20th century classical music: Fauré, Ravel, Stravinsky, Poulenc, Bruno Walter, Toscanini, Szell, Boulez, Bernstein as well as other celebrities of the era such as Albert Einstein, with whom she played Mozart, Elsa Schiaparelli, Joan Miró and more.

In this episode of The Art Bystander, our host Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar meets with Nicolas Hugo, the now leader of Ateliers Hugo.Ateliers Hugo, nestled in Aix en Provence, France, has been a bastion of creativity since the early 1950s, crafting exquisite jewelry and limited-edition objects in gold. Their legacy intertwines with history, embracing tradition, skilled craftsmanship, and collaboration with legendary artists, sparking a renaissance in artist-made jewelry.In the aftermath of World War II, François and Monique Hugo founded Ateliers Hugo, initially focusing on crafting enamel and metal buttons and objects for fashion and commercial ventures, collaborating with esteemed designers like Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli. Surrounded by the artistic milieu of the South of France, Hugo cultivated friendships with luminaries such as Picasso, Derain, and Ernst, igniting a movement where artists experimented with jewelry as an art form.The journey continued as Picasso and others sought collaborations with Hugo, laying the foundation for a pioneering era in jewelry artistry from 1956 to 1961. This period witnessed artists like Cocteau infusing their distinctive visions into small, gold objects, transcending commercial considerations for pure artistic exploration.A "second wave" emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s under Pierre Hugo's stewardship, marrying experimentation with commercial viability. Collaborations with artists like Arman, César, and Salvador Dali birthed masterpieces that adorned museums and galleries worldwide, elevating jewelry to coveted collectibles.Despite soaring demand, Ateliers Hugo remained a closely-knit family business, cherishing tradition and familial bonds. The studio's ethos, deeply entrenched in familial heritage, fosters a culture where lunchtime gatherings are as sacred as the craft itself.In the contemporary era, under the leadership of Nicolas Hugo, Ateliers Hugo continues its legacy, collaborating with artists like Ugo Rondinone and Eric Croes, bridging the past with the present. Upholding tradition while embracing modernity, they maintain their unique stamp, rooted in time-honored techniques passed down through generations. With a commitment to serving artists and bearing witness to the zeitgeist, Ateliers Hugo preserves its legacy while illuminating the artistic landscape of today, embodying a timeless mission of creativity and cultural stewardship.

Profitez de cette offre sur Apple Podcasts dès aujourd'hui ! Gabrielle Chanel et Elsa Schiaparelli. Deux reines de la mode, aux styles et aux personnalités diamétralement opposés, qui se sont détestés. Au travers de leurs destins croisés, Virginie Girod refait le match entre les deux grandes dames de la haute couture dans un récit inédit. À l'origine de Chanel et de Schiaparelli, il y a deux fillettes malheureuses, Gabrielle et Elsa. La première, issue d'un milieu modeste, perd sa mère alors qu'elle n'a que 12 ans. Confiée à des religieuses, c'est à l'orphelinat d'Aubazine qu'elle aurait découvert la couture, où Chanel s'imprègne du style épuré de leur robe. L'univers familial d'Elsa Schiaparelli est aux antipodes de celui de Gabrielle. Elle appartient à l'aristocratie romaine ! Mais la vie de la fillette n'est pas si rose. Sa mère passe son temps à lui dire qu'elle est laide et qu'elle lui préfère sa sœur. Alors Elsa cultive son côté fantasque pour se faire remarquer. Les deux jeunes femmes vont être marquées par leur premier amour. Pour Chanel, ce sera Arthur Capel, surnommé Boy. Il soutient Gabrielle sur la voie de la création et de l'émancipation. C'est lui qui lui prête l'argent nécessaire pour qu'elle ouvre sa première boutique de modiste à Paris en 1910. Les succès s'enchaînent et ses boutiques se multiplient. Mais Boy meurt dans un accident de voiture. Elsa Schiaparelli n'a pas 20 ans quand elle se marie à un charlatan beaucoup plus âgé qu'elle, Wilhelm de Wendt de Kerlor, qui la laisse tomber alors qu'elle vient d'avoir un enfant. Schiaparelli trouve refuge dans le monde de l'art parisien, qui raffole bientôt de ses créations, et lui permet d'ouvrir sa propre boutique. Chanel travaille avec des couleurs neutres, des lignes sobres et dépouillées, alors que Schiaparelli c'est le too-much. Chanel et Schiaparelli tutoient les sommets quand la Seconde Guerre mondiale éclate. Chanel signe une dernière collection patriotique baptisée « bleu blanc rouge » et ferme sa maison de couture en septembre 1939. Sa position pendant l'Occupation, partagée entre les services secrets allemands et un réseau de Résistance est encore trouble. Schiaparelli s'exile aux Etats Unis où elle prolonge son succès en devenant la créatrice préférée d'Hollywood ! Elle rentre à Paris après la guerre en 1945, mais Schiaparelli comme Chanel sont passés de mode. Le style New-Look de Christian Dior les a ringardisés. Elsa Schiaparelli tombe progressivement dans l'oubli et meurt paisiblement dans son sommeil en 1973. Chanel, quant à elle, devient malgré elle un symbole du classicisme. Elle continue à travailler et à diriger ses défilés jusqu'à la fin de sa vie, en 1971.

What you'll learn in this episode:   Why it's harder to find quality vintage and modern costume jewelry today than in years past How Rosie secured a spot as an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow  What Rosie looks for in the pieces she collects, wears and sells in her shop Where the term “costume jewelry” came from and its history Why Rosie is one of the only people in America who will repair costume jewelry   About Rosie Sayyah Rosie Sayyah has been selling and repairing vintage and estate jewelry from her shop, Rhinestone Rosie, in Seattle since 1984. In the early 1980s, Rosie felt her family tradition of dealing in antiques calling to her. Upon leaving her corporate career in television, she decided to open a jewelry store that not only had unique, exciting items for sale, but also where she could restore greatness to jewelry that had fallen into disrepair. Teaching herself about vintage costume and estate jewelry culture and repair through books, hobby shops, and hands-on experience, Rosie has become a national expert in the field. In the late 1990s, she began appearing regularly on “Antiques Roadshow” on PBS TV and continues today as one of their expert appraisers.   Photos available on TheJewelryJourney.com   Additional resources: Website Instagram Facebook Twitter Transcript: Rosalie Sayyah, aka Rhinestone Rosie, first got jewelry lovers' attention as an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow. But she has earned her customers' loyalty for her ability to repair vintage costume jewelry and perfectly match missing rhinestones when no one else can. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about why so few jewelers will repair costume jewelry; what she looks for in the pieces she buys; and how to start a costume jewelry collection of your own. Read the episode transcript here.   Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.   Today, I'm talking with Rhinestone Rosie. You may already be familiar with Rosie. She has her own retail outlet in Seattle, and she does a strong mail order business. You may be familiar with her by seeing her on Antiques Roadshow giving the price of vintage jewelry to people who want to know.    All I know is that whenever I have a piece and I can't find the stone that's the right size, or I know it would be impossible to find the right kind, the color of the stone, or I know it's out of production—maybe it's a really old piece—I turn to her. She hasn't let me down yet. Many of her stones are out of stock elsewhere, but somehow she manages to find them. We'll hear all about her business today. Welcome to the program.   Rosie: Thanks for having me. It's a pleasure. I love to talk about jewelry.   Sharon: I'm so glad you're here. How did you choose the name Rhinestone Rosie?   Rosie: It was kind of a joke. I was an English minor in college, and alliteration is something that's very memorable. I was dealing with my sister over the mail. She was sending me pieces and I would sell them. Just as a joke, I signed a check Rhinestone Rosie and it stuck.    Sharon: So, from the get-go, from day one, the name of your business was Rhinestone Rosie.   Rosie: That's right. That's correct.   Sharon: Does Rhinestone Rosie refer to any kind of costume jewelry stones or just rhinestones?   Rosie: Oh no, we deal with all kinds of jewelry. Beads and metals and pearls, all materials, and actually all ages. We do a lot of repairs. In our shop, our inventory goes from, I would say, the 1870s through present day.   Sharon: I know you have some pretty old vintage pieces, but I don't know how old the antique line goes. A hundred years?   Rosie: Exactly.   Sharon: When did you first become attracted to rhinestones?   Rosie: It's hard to say. My parents had a secondhand business, and they repaired things and sold them. This was in Orlando, Florida. I helped my mom reupholster furniture, and sometimes in the old furniture, we would find a piece of jewelry and she would give it to me. It wasn't always rhinestones. I collected rocks when I was a kid, and they always had cut glass in the store. They had a secondhand store, and I just loved that cut glass. I've always liked shiny things, so that must have been what led me to this.   Sharon: And that includes all the shiny costume jewelry.   Rosie: Exactly, yes. And I like to work with my hands. I've been doing that since I was a little girl. So, working with things, that was just a natural offshoot.   Sharon: How did you get into the repair aspect of it? From your parents?   Rosie: No, actually after I had my baby, Lucia, I had a friend who had a vintage store in Seattle, and I would help her. I would bring home clothing and patterns and do mending on clothes, and she always had broken jewelry. I asked her one day, “Do you ever fix this?” She goes, “Oh, nobody really does. I do it once in a while.” So, I did some research and found out that nobody really repaired this jewelry. I thought, “Hmm, this is something I can do,” and I went to the local hobby shop, the guys that did model cars and model airplanes. They told me what lead solders to use, what glues to use, what paints to use. They were very helpful. They told me all kinds of stuff. I'm self-taught, so there it is. I bought a bunch of books and read the books. I learned how to knot in between beads and practiced through trial and error. I had to go through a lot of stuff.   Sharon: But you did this all yourself. As you were saying, there aren't that many other places that do it.   Rosie: No, I don't think there's a full business anywhere that does it. A lot of dealers will do some of their own. A lot of my contemporaries who did similar things have all either passed on or decided to go a different route. I think I've got a monopoly on it.   Sharon: I don't know anybody else who does it or has a store like yours, but I didn't want to say it without knowing for sure.   Rosie: I think you're right.   Sharon: That's why I'm surprised you're not in New York.   Rosie: Oh, no, we left Florida in 1973. We got as far across the country as we could. We wanted a big city, which Seattle is, and water and a temperate climate. We ended up settling here.    Sharon: It sounds like you made the right choice, but in terms of jewelry and being surrounded by jewelry, I think of New York first, Chicago maybe.   Rosie: I know. A lot of my contemporaries on the Road Show are from back East. I am an anomaly for sure, but it is what it is. That's what I do and I do it well, if I might say.   Sharon: I know in my jewelry cabinet, I have a pile of things and say, “Oh, that should go to Rhinestone Rosie's because I know she can fix it. There's nobody else that does that.” Until I found you, there were pieces I would toss or, like you're saying, give away or just say, “I can't do anything with it.”   Rosie: Exactly, I remember. You did come into my shop. It was a pleasure to meet you in person one time. We did close for about three months during the pandemic. Now we're only open three days a week in the brick-and-mortar store, although our online is still going on. I have people coming in almost daily with their pile of stuff that's been saved for two or three years. They're finally in the shop to get fixed.   Sharon: That's interesting. I noticed that you're only open a few days a week, which seemed to be fewer than before.   Rosie: Yes.   Sharon: What percentage of your business is mail order?   Rosie: I would say mail order and repair—because we do local repair. Of course, people walk in, and then people mail us things from all over the world. I think it's about a 50/50 split, for online sales and for walk-in sales and repair.   Sharon: Wow! I have a friend who was a little hesitant about sending something that was precious to them. It wasn't a precious item, but it was precious to them. I did it. I didn't have any compunction. She did it, too. Where do you source the stuff you have, your vintage pieces? Where do you get them?   Rosie: People just bring it into the store. Sometimes, I'll go to a yard sale or something and pick a piece, but mostly it's people that are downsizing or someone just passed. The family has chosen the pieces they want. Sometimes there's even a note in the collection, “Take this to Rhinestone Rosie.” It's kept me going, and I don't have to go out and beat the bushes.   Sharon: That's great. Have you found it's harder to get things in or harder to find things because costume jewelry—   Rosie: Oh yeah, the good stuff. I know there were a lot of manufacturers at the time, but I'd say the high-end pieces are in collectors' hands, and they go from one collector to another collector. They're not normally available in the market. Every once in a while, you will see that someone found something in a box of junk or something. What was so fun on the Road Show is uncovering something like that, but most of the time, it's hard. It's hard to find the good stuff, so you've got to change your focus. Right now, it's more modernist and clean lines, big, chunky necklaces. It's different than it was in, say, the 20s, 30s and 40s. Some people change.   Sharon: Do you think that costume jewelry has become more popular over the years or right now?   Rosie: People need to learn about the vintage pieces because there are lots of ones like dress clips or fur clips. They have a different way of attaching to the fabric, shall we say, but today a lot of stuff is coming out of China and Korea. There are very, very good contemporary artists making costume jewelry.   Sharon: With eBay and all the online sources, do you think it's harder to find? People know what they have, let's say.   Rosie: I don't think they know what they have, but I think there's a lot of the lower-end stuff. You could buy costume jewelry in a dime store. You could buy it in a pharmacy. You could buy it in a department store. You could buy it at a jewelry story. Jewelry stores and department stores usually sold the best quality. A lot of people bought the lower-end pieces because they were cheap, 10¢, 25¢, sometimes $1. I've seen more of that and less of the higher-end pieces.   Sharon: The audience can't see this, but maybe you'll send a picture. You have a beautiful Juliana necklace on. Do you think people know if they have a piece of jewelry on, I shouldn't bring that to you, I should try and sell it elsewhere?   Rosie: It's funny because they say, “I didn't think you wanted that big, ugly stuff. It's too gaudy,” and I'm like, “I want that. I want big, bold and ugly.” This is what people don't understand, especially in the plastics. It's very hard to find good Bakelite and celluloid and other plastics these days because people just toss them. But if they have something like the necklace I have on, I think it would give them pause, and they would bring something like that to me and I would be glad.   Sharon: As the market changes, like you mentioned, if it's cleaner lines or contemporary, do you change with it?   Rosie: Oh sure. Part of my job, Sharon, is educating people on what they have, how to wear it, where it came from, when it was made, what the materials are. I'll have someone come in. Let's say they're going to a wedding and they want a pair of earrings, and they think rhinestones can only be that clear, diamond-looking thing. When they walk in the shop, they realize it can be red, green, blue, purple with an iridescent coating like the necklace I have on, and they go out with a green pair of earrings instead of the clear ones. My job is not only educating people on what they have, but how to wear it, how to take care of it and, yes, it can be fixed. Don't let your high-end jeweler tell you that it can't be fixed. Just keep looking and you'll find me.   Sharon: That's really true. I have found that a lot of high-end jewelers tell me they can't do anything, and somebody who's more an engineering type feels they can do something with it. They can fix it.   Rosie: Exactly, yeah. I spend a lot of time re-repairing things that someone else did. “My father soldered it or my husband,” or “I used this kind of glue.” A lot of our repairs are removing the glue and old solder and getting it down to a basic where I can rebuild it back.   Sharon: Is it you or does somebody else work with you on repairs?   Rosie: Me and my daughter, we both do it in the shop. We don't send it out. We don't work with gold, and we don't do silver solder. We do lead solder. But yeah, these hands, that's what they do.   Sharon: Did you approach Antiques Roadshow or did they find you?   Rosie: It's funny. In 1997, they did the first launch of the program, and Seattle was one of the test cities. Some of my mentors who do fine antique jewelry said, “Rosie, you should have been there. We had so much costume jewelry come in and we didn't know what to tell people.” Long story short, my background is in television. I used to be a producer. I made commercials, and I knew the producer was the one to call.    So, I called WGBH, a guy named Peter, and I said, “Hey, my name is Rhinestone Rosie,” and there was a beat. I said, “I'm not a stripper. I can walk and talk at the same time. I'm fairly presentable on camera and I know about costume jewelry.” He said, “Yes, we would love to have you.” So, in 1998 in Portland, Oregon, it was my first show. I don't think I taped. I was a little bit afraid. I've always been behind the camera, not in front of the camera, but I got over that pretty quick. Yeah, I did call him up and I said, “You need me.” I did it for 20 years.   Sharon: That's sort of connected to this question. I didn't know how to phrase it, but it seems to me that a lot of stylists would come in and say, “I'm doing a 40s show. What do I need?” Does that ever happen, that you have a stylist come in?   Rosie: It happened a lot more before the pandemic. Whether things changed in that industry, I don't know, but yes, we had a lot of stylists or a magazine shoot. If they were doing a shoot, they would come in and pick out pieces. We used to rent our pieces, but we don't do that anymore because people just wouldn't return them. But yes, we get stylists. We would get theater seamstresses, the designers, the costume makers for theaters. We didn't get a lot of movie people in, but maybe this'll help. We can help them if they need us.   Sharon: Is it hard to decide what color or what kind of jewelry somebody should have?    Rosie: What I do is ask them about their lifestyle and what they want the piece for. I look at them. I see how they're dressed, how their hair is cut, and I can pretty well sus out if they're an edgy person or they're a modest person, kind of timid. We have tiny, little earrings, big, bold, down-to-the-shoulder dusters, and you can usually tell by talking to someone. Someone who's got nose piercings and whole-body tattoos, they're not going to go for something real mild.    You can pick up on their body language. That's helped me a lot, plus I encourage people to bring in outfits and put them on. It's like the Barbie doll thing, just dress them and put jewelry on. They can try it on, and if the necklace is too short, we can adjust things. We can change earrings. Most of our earrings are clip-on or screw-back. We can change them to pierced if they want. We do that with our jewelry, or we can do it with your jewelry.   Sharon: What's your return policy if they decide they want to take it home and try it?   Rosie: They get a store credit.   Sharon: A few of the pieces don't work. Maybe it's your daughter who told me that something wouldn't work. I can't even tell the stone apart from the original stones. How do you decide that? How do you decide if it's going to work? Can you tell us about some of the pieces that haven't worked, where you've had to come back to somebody and say, “I can't find anything”?   Rosie: Some of the older stones, I would say pre-1910 to the late 1800s, a lot of those stones, I can't find. I've taken stones out of pieces. I try very hard. If the piece comes in and the stone I'm matching is slightly discolored, I'm not going to put a brand new, shiny stone in its place. I will try to find in my pile of stones one that is slightly discolored. I try very hard to match it.   But, yeah, there are times when we just can't fix a clasp or it's in a place that's too thick for us to solder or the thread is so weak and the restringing cost is prohibitive. We do understand sentimental value. We try to let people know that we appreciate what they have and we understand. It doesn't matter to us if it cost 25¢. If it's important to you, it's important to us. So, if we honestly can't fix it, we tell them, “No, we can't fix it. We can't help you.”   Sharon: How did you get your inventory? You have quite an inventory of stones that you can put in pieces.   Rosie: 40 years. I do have a source for new stones. Sometimes I'll even go to Etsy and try to find something, but I've taken a lot of stones out of pieces. There have also been people through the years—like there was a lady who made earrings that sold in Nordstrom. Her name was Nellie, and she called me up and said, “I'm going out of business. Would you consider buying some of my stones?” That kind of thing. Jewelry stores have back inventory. When they close, I love to go in and dig around in their storerooms.   But I can't buy stones that are unfoiled. I don't do a lot of that because if you glue an unfoiled stone in, the foil is what makes a rhinestone shine. It's like a little mirror. So, if it has no foil on it, I can't really use it. A lot of stones out there have no foil backing, and I can't use those. But most of time, it's just here and there. People hear about me, or they have a hobby or they know somebody who's fixed their own jewelry and they're wanting to sell. I'll look and see what they have, and I'll pick and choose what I might use.   Sharon: Did you have any reservations about opening this kind of store in Seattle?   Rosie: No. I had it all over the kitchen table, and my husband said, “Hey, you'd better start a business because this has taken over our house.” I had no idea how to do it, but all I needed was the license. I shared space. Actually, right next door to where my shop is now, I was in the front of her store. I just had a desk and some jewelry behind me.    Now, this is a really good story. Again, my background is television, but I also have a degree in advertising and public relations. So, I printed up business cards and marched into I. Magnin and Frederick & Nelson and the major boutiques in downtown Seattle. I said, “This is what I do. I can help you,” and I walked out of every place with something to repair. That gave me street cred, so I could say, “I repair jewelry for I. Magnin or Nordstrom.”    I've never been afraid of talking about my abilities to do what we do and that we do it well, and I've always been true and honest and open to my customers. I learned that from my parents. That's how they ran their business. I started with very little cash. I didn't get any loans. It was a bootstrap business, and it's grown to what it is. I'm very proud of it.   Sharon: As I was putting these questions together, I kept asking myself, “What are you doing in Seattle?”   Rosie: Why in Seattle? I just ended up where I was.    Sharon: It's a nice place, but I wouldn't think of it as the first place I'd open anything.   Rosie: We're busy enough. There's a lot of money in Seattle and there are a lot of people. They might dress in Gore-Tex or flannel or whatever, but they like a little bit of bling. The thing is it belonged to grandma or Aunt Masie or somebody, so it's sentimental. It's not always something they're going to wear all the time. I don't wear jewelry all the time, but it's something you look at and hold and treasure. I wanted to preserve that for people.   Sharon: You don't wear jewelry all the time. That's interesting. I don't have jewelry on today. A lot of times I realize I don't have any jewelry on. People used to say, “Well, you're the kind of person who wouldn't go out without earrings.” Do you stop and put on a vintage piece?   Rosie: Well, I'm not an earring girl. I wear rings, watches, necklaces and brooches. Usually, I only wear them when I'm in the shop or if I'm giving a talk, a lecture. I do a lot of lecturing for groups about the history and culture of rhinestones. Sometimes I'll even dress totally vintage, the shoes, the hat, the dress, the jewelry, usually from the 40s. That's what my era seems to be. This is a 50s, 60s necklace I have on. Of course, when I did the Roadshow, I always wore jewelry and people loved it. I would get so many emails, “I love your jewelry. That's cool.”    Sharon: I always say something. If he's watching the show, “Oh, it's Rhinestone Rosie.” I can see why the jewelry gets attention.   Rosie: Oh, yeah.   Sharon: Do you collect anything?    Rosie: I didn't start as a collector. I started as a merchant, so my collection is just based on what I learned about. Since I did so much lecturing, I liked to have a piece of almost every major name that I could show to people. I do have that type of a collection. For some reason, I collect vintage watches. I have maybe 50 watches. It's insane.    As far as jewelry, I think my whole collection is very modest because I purge occasionally. I find if I'm not wearing it, I will take it to the shop. We'll sell it, and people get excited when they find out it is something I have worn and loved. I don't mind doing it. I'm not afraid to separate myself from some major pieces. Right now, I'm more into the clean, modernist lines, a lot of metals. Mexican 40s jewelry I really like to wear. Usually my clothes are very simple, one color, and then the jewelry is the standout part of it.   Sharon: Do you think that older Mexican jewelry is included in modernist?   Rosie: In what?   Sharon: In modernist?    Rosie: Oh yes, they were influenced by it greatly. In the 40s and 50s, some of that jewelry is –   Sharon: It is beautiful.   Rosie: Yeah, I would say it's definitely influenced by a modernist approach, yes. It shows in the Pre-Columbian and the Spanish people that came over, but that's what makes it intriguing. Look at Georg Jensen. You can have that flow, that feel in the 40s Mexican pieces. I have seen new designers make pieces that take my breath away. They're crazy, like things that wrap around your neck and stand out, nothing I could possibly wear, but I certainly appreciate.    I don't know what we would call today's costume jewelry. This term came about because Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, they made costumes. Their clothing was costume, and they said, “It needs something.” So, the jewelry that went with it, the term costume jewelry came from that happening.   Sharon: That's interesting. What if they had made it out of real pearls and real gold?   Rosie: Chanel combined both. She wasn't afraid to wear costume and fine jewelry at the same time. As matter of fact, the word rhinestone—the best costume or stones came out of Europe, near the Rhine River. The first piece of rhinestone was a water-washed piece of crystal that came from the Rhine River. So, the name rhinestone has become ubiquitous, like Kleenex or anything like that. It is actually from a piece of crystal from the Rhine River, because the best stuff still does come out of Europe.   Sharon: That's interesting.   Rosie: They make the very best. Certain brands or names in costume jewelry use these incredible stones. You just can't find them anymore. They don't make them anymore.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

Curator Romy Cockx talks to Danielle Radojcin about Man Ray's journey from growing up as the son of working-class immigrants in Philadelphia to a towering giant of 20th Century image-making.Man Ray was responsible for some of the most eye-catching photos of women in the 20th Century: Lee Miller's floating lips, the glass tears of Kiki de Montparnasse, and portraits of fashion stars Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli to name but a few.MoMu, the Fashion Museum in Antwerp, is currently running an exhibition showcasing Man Ray's relationship with fashion, from his photo editorials for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, to the gowns worn by some of the famous women who modelled them. Cockx talks about what influenced Man Ray, from Paul Poiret to Marcel Duchamp and the Marquis de Sade, and the designers he in turn has influenced, including Phoebe Philo and Martin Margiela.Recommended links from Romy Cockx:https://www.stockmansartbooks.be/nl/man-ray-and-fashion.htmlhttps://www.momu.be/en/exhibitions/man-ray

Jean Cocteau – en man med (väldigt) många talanger

Han skrev, tecknade, målade, gjorde film. Det finns knappt en enda bok om 1900-talets kultur där hans namn inte dyker upp. Jean Cocteau var en kille mitt i smeten, och dessutom en välklädd sådan. Under ett halvt sekel befann sig Jean Cocteau i centrum av den franska kulturvärlden. För många, framför allt utomlands, kom han att förkroppsliga det tidiga 1900-talets avantgardistiska franska kultur tack vare sin intelligens, ironi och espri. Han kunde kalla såväl Proust, Picasso, som Piaf sina vänner. Riktigt nära stod han modeskaparen Coco Chanel, som han också arbetade med. För ja, han hade även ett finger nere i mode-syltburken. Även till Chanels konkurrent, Elsa Schiaparelli, lånade Cocteau sina tjänster. För produktiv var han; Jean Cocteau jobbade jämt. Även om han gärna ville låta påskina motsatsen. Klädd i perfekt skurna kostymer, skjorta och slips, gick många på hans lättjefulla pose. Så pass att vissa kritiserade honom för att lägga mer energi på att spela rollen som poet och konstnär, än att skapa meningsfulla verk.I veckans Stil berättar vi om den mångfacetterade multikonstnären. Bland annat tittar vi närmare på en av hans främsta musor, trapetskonstnären och dragartisten Barbette. Uppvuxen i en småstad i Texas lyckades Barbette bli en av 1920-talets Paris stora stjärnor.Vi pratar också med modejournalisten Lotta Lewenhaupt om det sätt som länge var det självklara för att skildra stil, nämligen modeteckningar. Under en period på 1900-talet var just modetecknare ett av de hetaste yrken man kunde ha.Dessutom djupdyker vi in i en av de myter som omgärdar Cocteau. Det sägs att han dog samma dag som Edith Piaf, och att det var hennes dödsbesked som fick honom att lämna jordelivet. Vi träffar regissören Rikard Bergqvist, som berättar för oss om denna sägen, och om Piaf och Cocteaus vänskap.Veckans gäst är Sten Bernhardsson, kulturdirektör i Uppsala Kommun, samt ordförande för Alliance Française d'Upsal.

As a freelance jewelry historian and curator of the Alice and Louis Koch Ring Collection at the Swiss National Museum, Beatriz Chadour-Sampson draws on her wealth of knowledge to find jewelry clues—even when a piece has no hallmark or known designer. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how she creates jewelry exhibits that engage viewers; how she found her way into the niche of shipwreck jewelry; and what it was like to catalogue 2,600 rings. Read the episode transcript here.  Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com. My guest is Beatriz Chadour-Sampson. She's been the curator of the Alice and Louis Koch Ring Collection at the Swiss National Museum for almost 35 years. Welcome back.   Beatriz: You asked about the catalogue. We didn't know if the exhibition was going ahead at one point, but I was asked by V&A Publishing to do a book on pearls, which I did. So, yes, we did a book which was for sale during the exhibition. That was in 2013. We redesigned the jewelry gallery, and 2008 was the end of that. The pearls exhibition was in 2013, the beginning of 2014.   Sharon: Why was it redesigned, the gallery?   Beatriz: The jewelry gallery. With all galleries, there comes a point where they need to be refreshed and renewed, and the previous design needed it. You even had gates you had to get through, and if you weren't quite as slim as myself, you would have problems getting through the gates. When it was redesigned, it was a completely different aesthetic. As I said, the boards have to tell the story, so when the visitor walks in, they have to understand the story and go from one to the other. Some people say the gallery is very full, but it is a study collection. We asked the education department artists to do certain things.    I was very keen on going “from cradle to grave.” The gallery is chronological, so you want a display before you start to know why you wear jewelry. A child wears jewelry or a mother wears jewelry to protect them at childbirth, or they wear it for status or religion or whatever it is. Jewelry is multitasking, multifunctional. Today we think of jewelry as decorative, but that is not the case. Jewelry was made for an occasion and a reason. With status, you always have the big diamonds and the big stones. That has always existed, in recently centuries definitely. But there are so many more reasons for jewelry, for mourning and birth and good luck. That sort of exists today, probably with charms. So, jewelry is multifunctional.    Then we have a screen with pictures from different centuries showing portraits because, at a jewelry gallery, you can't see the pieces on someone. They need the body, but they don't have the body. So, it's good to have a screen showing how the jewelry was worn through the centuries, which is very important. Also in the display, each board—let's say you had earrings, a necklace and a bracelet. The concept was that what you wear on the top of the head goes on top. What you wear around your neck comes next and then the base, so you have a feeling of an abstract body in a way. It's not always obvious, but I try to think of it logically.    Of course, with the contemporary, we couldn't do that. It is all chronological until you get to about the 1950s, and that's it. You have to find a completely different concept. So, we decided to do it by materials. Good chronology at the beginning, but then it comes into materials. Natural materials, new metals, techniques. You couldn't do decades. That couldn't work. So, we did it by materials, which is an interesting aspect because you have all the different materials they use in comparison to all the gold and silver you see throughout the gallery. Suddenly, you're seeing a whole wall of completely different materials.   Sharon: What is your role as co-curator? You're curator and co-curator of so many places. What's your role as a co-curator? What do you do? What do they call in you for?   Beatriz: It's an advisory role. The Victoria and Albert Museum is a bit more than just an advisory role. You're working with the team, with the architect. It's a team procedure, but as I say, everybody has their own role to play. It intermingles, of course.    Sharon: At other times, you've talked about a different museum in Switzerland where you came, and it looked just—was it at eye level? Was it low? Was it too high?   Beatriz: Oh, that one, no. You remembered that detail. The eye level, that was the Victoria and Albert Museum. That is in the center of the gallery because we did a display for a tourist who goes to the museum and only has 10 minutes to look at jewelry history. So, in the center you've got these curved glass cases. The jewelry is on special mounts. You remember that. I asked my colleagues of different heights, from four foot something to six foot something. In the storage room, we had glass doors where there was a lot of storage space with artifacts in it, and I used Post-it Notes to put the different heights of people to see what a good eye level is. So, if you're looking at a broach or a tiara or something, you want it on the level where you more or less visualize it on your body so you can see it well. So, yes, that's the Post-it Notes. I used not only double-sided tape and pieces of paper, but also Post-it Notes, trying to find the right height for the pieces.    Eye level is hugely important, but the other museum you're thinking of may be something I'm current advising on. This is really an advisory role. It is a museum that will open next year, the Dubedeen, a German museum. Of course, there are gemologists there that are very specialized, but their museum experience is missing. So, I'm giving a little bit of advice on the background of things. Don't put a plinth that you can fall over. Don't make drawers that a child can get their fingers caught in. You learn these things from places like the Victoria and Albert Museum. There's health and safety. There's also the height of displays, the attention span of visitors. Text shouldn't be too long. It's more of an advisory role than an active role.   Sharon: I'm thinking about attention span. You must have seen that really go down. It seems nobody has more than two seconds for attention anymore.   Beatriz: There is an element of that. I think the Koch Collection of rings in the Jewelry Gallery is one of the most visited in the England museums. When you get to sparkle and glitter, there's more attention span, but not so much on the text.   Sharon: Yeah, that's probably true. You've also done a lot of work on shipwrecks. That's very interesting.   Beatriz: That goes back to 1989. By sheer coincidence, I came to work on shipwrecks. I was in New York when I was working on the Concepción Collection. I met Priscilla Muller of the Hispanic Society of America in New York, and I helped her with some Spanish and Portuguese jewelry. When she was asked, she just didn't have the time to work on the shipwrecks. She thought with my Spanish and Portuguese knowledge, I would be suited for that, so I was asked by Pacific Sea Resources in 1989 to work on an incredible shipwreck called the Nuestra Señora de la Concepción from 1638 that sank. It was the usual thing, mutiny and the wrong person taking care of the ship. That's a private story, not a jewelry story, but the interesting thing is that the jewelry was basically made for Spaniards in the Philippines. The jewelry was made in the Philippines, the majority of it for Spaniards. It was a Spanish colony at the time.   When I was first went through it, I thought, “It looks quite European. It looks O.K.” I signed the contract, and little did I know how much research was involved for the material, which I hardly knew. It was because of the influence. The Spaniards definitely had European design books they brought with them. By then, you had printed books with designs in them, and they must have had them there. Chinese craftsmen were working for them in the Philippines, and of course the Chinese had great skills with outside countries. Some of it looks very European, and some of it is Indian influences, Siamese influences, and influences from Java, Sumatra. The chains, heavy gold chains, were certainly Chinese filigree. In fact, I told the Ashmolean Museum it belonged to Sir Elias Ashmole, whose portrait and chains still exist in the Ashmolean Museum, and I told them that one of the gold chains he had was Chinese. It was given by the Kuffners from Brandenburg, and I happened to find out that the Kuffners from Brandenburg travelled to China. So, that all fit. That was a little like detective work. That was published in 1990.   I've recently been working again on shipwrecks, just a few pieces of absolutely fascinating jewelry found off the shore of the Bahamas, which has now been in the Maritime Museum on the Bahamas for only a few months. I also worked on the Atocha in Key West. I organized an exhibition in Hanover for them, where we did a display of the Atocha and Santa Margarita events. But what's so fascinating about shipwrecks is that we see so many portraits of beautiful jewelry from the Renaissance, the 16th, 17th centuries, where they really documented beautifully painted jewelry in paintings. Thanks to that we can study them in detail. All this jewelry doesn't exist anymore, especially gold chains, because gold chains were the easiest thing to melt and reuse for more modern jewelry. As I have said, I have a smile when somebody talks to me about recycled gold being something new. Well, it's nothing new. Recycling gold goes back centuries.    Sharon: I'm surprised because in the pictures, you always think it's a straightforward gold chain with no Chinese engraving or anything. You think of it as a gold chain.   Beatriz: Some of it is simple, what they called a P-chain. You saw loads of it, especially on Dutch paintings. But in the Atocha there was a spiral. You can see they're very tidy on the portraits, but it looks as if they had a spiral at the back holding the chain so they flowed down properly. Some of those chains we had were definitely Chinese filigree because those chains are filigree. In the 1655 shipwreck from the Bahamas, there's a chain like that, and that's mainly why they asked me to look at it. That certainly reminded me of some of the Concepción work, which was Chinese craftsmanship.    The trade was amazing. You had trade happening in the Philippines. Even the Dutch were trading with the Spaniards. The Dutch were trading silks and spices from China and so on. These big galleons went from the Philippines to Acapulco and Vera Cruz and then to Havana. They went on a route around South America, loading and offloading things from Europe. It's interesting because in Seville, there's the Archivo General de Indias, and there they have all the books on the shipping material. Like with the Atocha, they found out which ship it was because the gold bars have a text mark on them, and that coincided with the documents they have in Seville. It's fascinating. It's a fascinating field.   Sharon: It seems like it.   Beatriz: It's a mystery and it's global, of course. Made in Asia; there's nothing new. It's hundreds of years. There would not be any porcelain in 18th century Europe the other way around.   Sharon: Do you get to see the ship right away? When it comes up, do you see it when they pull it from the ocean?   Beatriz: No. When I was asked to work on the Concepción, I had to travel to Singapore where it was being cleaned and conserved. In one instance I had to say, “Stop cleaning because I think there's enamel underneath, black and white enamel. Stop.” You have to be careful because you have to get rid of the marine dirt. No, I got to see it after it was cleaned or while it was being cleaned.    Sharon: Wow! And then what? It goes to the museum? What happens afterwards?   Beatriz: It nearly got split up and sold at auction. I'm glad it didn't because it's a historical find, but unfortunately you have to go the Mariana Islands to see it. You can't see it always. The material is put together, and it was published in a black and white archaeological report. It was published in 1990, so at least it's documented. National Geographic did a beautiful spread with color, so you know what it's like.   Sharon: What have you learned from parsing these shipwrecks, from researching the shipwrecks?   Beatriz: The extent of influence in Europe of some motifs and how far they went. It was made in the Philippines and sold in Europe because everything that was made and transported on this galleon, the Atocha, at some point went to Seville and then it was traded on. We definitely know that the emeralds the emperors were after came from Colombia and then went through Havana to Seville. It's a fascinating trade, but the trade is something we never think about. In Roman times, the Roman emperor wanted pearls, so they traveled to southern India to get pearls. History does amaze one.    Sharon: It does. You're working on many projects now. What can you tell us about some of them?   Beatriz: I can tell you what's half-finished and what's coming. I've had a year of three books. I co-edited a book with Sandra Hindman, founder of Les Enluminures. I need to add Les Enluminures because for many years, I've been their jewelry consultant. They're based in Chicago, New York and Paris and are specialized mainly in Medieval and Renaissance jewelry, but this has nothing to do with the book we did. It just happened to be that we worked together again. Sandra and myself did something called a liber amicorum in honor of Diana Scarisbrick, a leading jewelry historian. It was for her 94th birthday, and we kept it a secret until her birthday. It had 20 authors in three languages all writing in her honor. That has come out. It's now available. It was published by Paul Holberton. It's on varied topics, from archaeology to today, really. 20 authors contributed towards that.    Today I received my copy of a book I worked on for the Schmuckmuseum, so it's now published. The launch is on Sunday, but I won't be traveling to Germany for that, unfortunately. It has to be a Zoom celebration for me. It's to do with the humanist Johann Reuchlin. He was from Pforzheim. He lived in the late 15th to the 16th century, and it's about script and jewelry from varying periods. It's a lot of contemporary jewelry as well. The cover doesn't really tell you that because it was the 500th anniversary of, I think, his death date. So, he was honored in this book, which has just come out, with essays from many people. Lots and lots of jewelry. That was published by Arnoldsche, and it's called—I have to think of it—German sounds so much easier in this case. It means script and pictures worn on the finger. I worked on rings with script on them.   Sharon: With writing you mean?   Beatriz: Yeah, writing, that's it. There are a lot of other topics in the book as well, but jewelry is certainly the dominant. Yes, they are rings. Mary Queen of Scotts is somebody who wrote her inscription inside the ring and was loyal to the queen. Had that been seen, her head would have gone to the chop. It's rings with prayers on them or rings with some sort of amuletic inscriptions. It's all inscriptions on rings in my case, and it's about Josiah Wedgwood who gave this ring to John Flaxman. You've got a whole history behind it. It's rings with script on them, highly visible on the bezel, either visible on the bezel or inside the hoop.   Sharon: In English or German?   Beatriz: It's basically German, I'm afraid to say, but with lots of good pictures with excellent captions, which are international. I am bilingual in German and English, but I haven't written German for a long time.    I've actually written a third book that's coming out, but that won't come out until January. That was a huge task. It's on jewelry from Bossard from Lucerne. It started in the early 19th century, but the two I worked on were a father and son from 1869 until 1934. That was the period of historicism. It was also a time of fakes of Renaissance jewelry being made, because there were so many collectors who wanted Renaissance but couldn't afford the real Renaissance jewelry. So, it was very tempting for fakers to make fake jewelry. When I started, I didn't know what I was in for, but I have come to the conclusion that it's pure historicism, what Bossard made. I had very little jewelry to go on, just a few pieces in private hands, but I did find by sheer coincidence a drawing, and I found the bishop who it belonged to. You have a hundred drawings by the Bossard Company over this whole period, and it's very interesting material to see their designs they were making. In some instances, it's real Renaissance. I don't know if they were Renaissance or if it was actually made later. Then it gets critical. It's a very complex period, but a very interesting archive in the Swiss National Museum in Zurich.   Sharon: For next year, do you have other projects going on?   Beatriz: Yes, the coming projects. I mentioned the gem museum, which is opening next year. I'm in the midst of advising. I'm going to be working very shortly—I've already started a bit—on the jeweler Eileen Coyne from London. She's been working on jewelry since the 1970s and continues to make jewelry very, very different to anything I've worked on before. What I find so fascinating is that her imagination and inspiration come from the material. It comes with the material and the tools. She also uses interesting gemstones and beads that come from ethnic backgrounds. She uses the most amazing materials. Also jades, carnelians, all kinds of things. So, we're going to do a book. She had a shop in the 80s and into the 90s. Her jewelry was displayed in Harvey Nichols in London, and she had a shop where all the celebrities and royals went shopping. It was quite an interesting clientele. We'll see if we get photographs or if they allow us to show some of the things they bought. It's very much about discretion in such cases. So, that's interesting, a completely different type of jewelry.    I'm really excited about it, but at the same time, I've also been involved, and am more involved now, in an artificial intelligence project. That is a ring that has been designed by Sylvia Reidenbach and John Emeny in England. Sylvia Reidenbach is German, but she teaches in Glasgow and London and all over Europe as well. She has created, with John Emeny, a ring with artificial intelligence based on one or two rings from the archaeological museum in Munich, a few rings from the  Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremburg, and 150 rings from the Koch Collection. There's one design. The machine makes the design, mixes it all and combines it into one design. The ring is now being made. The stone is labradorite. It's been on display since Wednesday last week in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum but will be coming to Zurich afterwards. So, I'll be learning a lot about AI and design. That is completely different from anything. I like the natural materials and history, and then the contrast is the AI.   Sharon: The AI is the dimensions of all these hundreds of rings?   Beatriz: Yes, the images are put into the machine, the AI. Don't ask me the technology of it because I haven't got a clue about AI technology. I'm at the beginning of it all. I'm learning, but I have seen how it develops. The images are fed into the machine, like the 150 rings from the Koch Collection and the others, and the machine designs one ring out of that.   Sharon: Wow! So, it's already made and in the museum.   Beatriz: Only just now. It's hot off the press, but there's more to come on that. There will be more to come on that, yes.   Sharon: You've written several other books. You wrote “A Life in Jewels.”   Beatriz: That is the book we did for Diana Scarisbrick, honoring her. I've written books since 1981, so it's added up quite a bit. Sometime I can give you a list.    Sharon: How about the influence of women on 20th century jewelry? Has it changed jewelry? Has it made it more feminine?    Beatriz: It's an extremely complex story, the role of women in design. You have to see it from the role of the woman in history. Just recently by coincidence, I've seen some material on women painters from the 16th and 17th centuries. In Bologna, for example, there were quite a few, and it's only now coming to the fore. You also have to see high jewelers' workshops in the field of jewelry. You don't have a Renaissance piece of jewelry and know, “So-and-so made it.” That didn't exist. It's only in the 19th century that we start that. The hallmarking system in England goes back to the 13th century, but jewelry was considered smallware, so they didn't consider putting a hallmark on it.    That changed later on, the but the name of the designer is something that we very often don't know. The high jewelers of the 19th century, when you knew the name of who made it in Paris or New York, you never know the name of the designer. That is something that came in in the 20th century. You have some classical examples. With Cartier, it was Jeanne Toussaint. She designed some of the iconic pieces for Cartier and the Duchess of Windsor. She worked for I don't know how many decades designing jewelry. She was a very important female designer. Then you've got Coco Chanel. She designed jewelry, mostly costume jewelry, but she also designed diamond jewelry. Not that she wanted to, but it was for the nation and probably the economy that she did it. Elsa Schiaparelli, with her fantastic surrealist jewelry, made that incredible neckpiece with beetles in plastic. If you had to date that as a jewelry store and you didn't know the background, you'd easily say 1970s or 80s. It's so amazing. In that period, you also had Suzanne Belperron with her really unique designs in jewelry.    Of course, the role of the woman changed after the First World War. You had millions of widows, and they had to work. The whole society was changing. After the Second World War, it became even more evident that women were working. I was very cheeky. I did a lecture. It was in the British Museum, and I was talking about the changing role of men and women buying jewelry. You can imagine the shock of some of them. I said, “Women go out and buy their own jewelry.” Before it was classical: the husband bought the jewelry for the wife. They were the earners, so they bought it. There were a few examples in the early 1900s, like the Duchess of Manchester, whose tiaras are in the Victoria and Albert Museum. She was one of these Dollar Princesses and quite a character. She liked smoking cigars and all. She went off with the family diamonds to Cartier and said, “Make me a tiara, and use up the garments.” You have Lady Mountbatten, who, after the birth of her daughter, Pamela, decided to go to Cartier and buy herself a nice bracelet that she could also wear in her hair in the 1920s.    There are a few examples. On the whole, it was always the husband buying the jewelry, but past that, you have women earning money and buying their own jewelry. The 60s sets off in that direction, and then it becomes jewelry that's more affordable. Jewelry has never been so diverse as in the last decades. It's never been so diverse in all its history. If you look at the Royal College of Art, I think you'll find that, in general, there are a lot more women in training to become jewelers. You find so many names of women designers, now one doesn't even talk about it. Whether it's a man or a woman, it's just become a norm.    Sharon: That's interesting. If you stop to think about it, I don't even know if there are that many male designers. I'm thinking about when I go to studios. You see more women than you do men.   Beatriz: It's more and more, yes. There are more and more women, absolutely.   Sharon: What would you advise? What piece of advice would you give emerging jewelers or people who want to follow in your steps?   Beatriz: Remember that if you're a jewelry historian, you're an academic. Remember that. You have to really enjoy what you're doing. In my case, I was very lucky. I've worked for so many different projects and so many different jewelers internationally. I've specialized in that, but it's very difficult. Maybe, depending on the economic situation, people can volunteer in a museum to learn the trade. I think what you really have to know is do you want to work in a gallery, or do you want to work in an auction? Do you want to work in a museum? They don't always mingle, so you have to learn where you want to go. It depends on what your interests are. If you have anybody, send them to me privately. I'm happy to talk it through.   Sharon: Thank you for being with us.   Beatriz: My pleasure.   Sharon: Well will have photos posted on the website.

Loira, de olhos azuis e corpo violão, a boneca mais famosa do planeta, surgiu no fim dos anos 1950, nos Estados Unidos, como um ideal de mulher e feminilidade. De lá para cá, foi pintada por muitos como um símbolo cultural de sexismo e racismo. Ainda assim, nunca saiu de cena e, agora, inspira o nome de uma nova tendência fashionista, a chamada "Barbiecore". Só no Brasil, em junho, a busca pelos termos "Barbie girl" e "Barbie tattoo" na rede social de imagens Pinterest cresceu, respectivamente, 92% e 46%, em relação ao ano anterior E ainda que a Barbie seja um brinquedo voltado a crianças, são adultos e jovens da geração Z —os nascidos entre 1995 e 2010— que, nos últimos tempos, têm dado destaque à sua imagem. Enquanto os atores Margot Robbie e Ryan Gosling viralizam nas redes, com imagens vazadas do filme "Barbie", de Greta Gerwig —diretora de "Lady Bird" e "Adoráveis Mulheres"—, a cor vibrante do rosa-choque, que é marca da boneca, invade vitrines e passarelas pelo mundo. Isso porque depois de meses trancados em casa, vários sobreviventes da pandemia têm vivido dias de extravagância. Com a vacinação em massa, foi possível ostentar não só as alegrias do contato social, como também o apreço por estar vivo. E é nesse contexto que cores vibrantes passaram a ganhar mais espaço nos guarda-roupas. No episódio dessa semana, o Expresso Ilustra discute como o estilo "Barbiecore" fez do rosa-choque a grande cor do momento, como esse movimento está atrelado ao "dopamine dressing" —a tendência de cores intensas e tecidos chamativos que remetem a sensações como felicidade, prazer e êxtase—, e como a estilista Elsa Schiaparelli, que ganha mostra em Paris, foi determinante na criação desse tom. Para isso, o podcast entrevista a jornalista Carolina Vasone, a professora de história da moda Maíra Zimmermann e a especialista em design Ethel Leon. .See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
