Grace Jones by Chris Levine

Artist Chris Levine photographed Grace Jones, known as the queen of androgynous and fashion. Grace is one of the greatest women alive. She's a singer, actress and also a model, she's half jamaican, half "american". She's 61 years old and she's still looking gorgeous and makind a statement everytime she performs at a stage.

Along with Annie Lennox, she was a very influential woman back in the 80's. She became famous as an actress in the U.S, keeping her fame as a singer in Europe. There's many things to say about her, but in my case I felt in love with her for one song ("La vie en rose") and because of her fashion sense. "Met her" many years ago, while I was watching an haute couture fashion show from Philip Treacy and instead of playing music from a cd or a dj, Grace Jones was performing live at the catwalk, I went speechless!

Since that day I've being paying attention to everything she does: new songs, photoshoots, performances, etc. And she's always renovating herself but as the same time she keeps a signature look, like her "flat top" hairstyle.

"Stillness at the speed of light" is Chris Levine's latest exhibition. He's a light artist, who works with 3D, lasers and LEDs to create contemporary and almost futuristic pieces. For this specific expo, he focused on portraits and videos. Both artists met through Philip Treacy. "I met Grace standing on stage at the Royal Festival Hall and told her that if she stood on this cross on the floor all light would break loose from her head. Luckily my theory worked and it looked awesome", said Levine. And that's how this project came to life.

The exhibition is on show from April 30th until May 15th at The Vinyl Factory Gallery in London's Soho.

Rolls-Royce ♥

I've always been a car lover... And nothing better than the luxury brands such as Rolls Royce, Maserati, Ferrari, Bugatti, Bentley and all of those who drive me crazy.

The luxury goods business is very wide, includes cars, yachts, technology, hotels and of course fashion (bags, shoes, jewelry). People day after day has a different point of view when buying any kind of good. Is a better investment to pay for something exclusive and more expensive, than paying for something that is massive like Zara. With crisis hitting many fashion houses we can see how Hermés or Louis Vuitton are still alive and also increasing their sales.

So the same theory (and it's a fact now!) applies to the car industry. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is a British manufacturer of luxury automobiles based in Goodwood, England. They've making history since their start back in 1903. Always being recognized for the quality, design, luxe and exclusivity in each a every piece that makes a Rolls-Royce.

That's why it's impossible not to fall in love everytime I see a Rolls-Royce. Feels the same way as when you see an amazing dress out in a runway or when something is amazingly created, taking care of every detail, wowing everywhere it's used. I think I could make a whole speech about this cars and how much I love them and how beautiful is their aesthetics. But as we all know, a picture worth a thousand words... So here's some amazing photos by one great photographer/designer: Hedi Slimane who is also in love with Rolls-Royce.

They speak for themselves. They captured beauty, sexy, elegance, sobriety, design, luxe, time, texture, sculpture... It's everything capture by photography!

Tilda Swinton for Pringle of Scotland

The moment I've been waiting for!

Tilda's ad campaign and short film for Pringle of Scotland is finally out!

My friend Fede (who also has a blog with a very interesting proposal) noticed me about the launch of the campaign and also the film on the Pringle of Scotland website. The first thing you see when you enter the site is the movie, it starts by itself, full of beautiful landscapes from Scotland and also the unique presence of Tilda Swinton. She run around different locations (forest, beach, mountain...), everything is perfectly made in the film. Every detail, the lightning, the music, the images, the places, the dresses, the make up, the paleness of her skin, for me everything is extremely harmonic.

Simple, yet beautiful!

Just a few lines from Tilda, plus all the things I wrote above, makes of this movie a piece of art (for me!). The film was made by Ryan McGinley, a famous photographer from U.S.

Here's some photos from the campaign also. And check the film, you won't regret!

my favorite! ♥
