Fabergé présente sa nouvelle collection de fine joaillerie « Matelassé »
Fabergé présente sa nouvelle collection de fine joaillerie « Matelassé »
/dans Joaillerie-Horlogerie /par Florence BernardinThe Matelassé collection takes its inspiration from the sumptuous furnishings of the great Romanov Palaces, evoking the intimacy and comfort of Empress Alexandra’s favourite salon, the Mauve Room, in the Alexander Palace in Tsarkoe Selo. The trellis-like lines of the quilted pattern, some trailed with diamonds, recall the classical century-revival style that dominated decorative design at the turn of the century, from Paris to St Petersburg. This evocative design, with its soft, tactile and gem-set quilting, represents the perfect marriage of heritage and modernity that is so much part of the ethos of Fabergé today. Superbly sculpted and engraved, the luscious cushions of gold, white, yellow or rose gold, conjuring the cocooning warmth and texture of quilting, are studded with diamonds or multi-coloured gems.
Les Beatles sur le devant de la scène à la galerie Kartner
/dans Spectacles, art & cinéma /par Florence BernardinOn the occasion of the 50th birthday of the song « Love me do », the Galerie Kartner « La Cardinale » in Paris proposes an exhibition dedicated to the Beatles. Unpublished, numbered pictures from photographers André Sas, Jean-Pierre Fizet and Patrick Siccoli bring back the memories of this mythical band of the 60s, during a show at Cyrano or in the intimacy of a room at George V. You can also see portraits of John and Yoko, made years later on the French Riviera… These pictures remind the complicity and humour that the four boys from Liverpool used to share. You can see this exhibition until October, the 12th.
