Brigade de Cuisine is the new bible for contemporary chef, experiences and food culture.

Brigade de Cuisine narrates of “people who make food”. A new publication bursts on the web scene to tell the life and work deeds of the key players in international culinary excellence. They are portrayed by photographers borrowed from the fashion world, and interviewed by creatives and artists coming from various different schools of thought. Brigade de Cuisine publishes exclusive features dedicated to the brightest chefs and their disciples, living in the deepest way the experience, the research, the quality, the way of life they breath and shape day by day. In addition, it presents the reviews of the best cooking and design books around, as well as an overview on top restaurants, unlikely recipes, and unique experiences.

Avant Tradition Marsèll

marsèll deconstruction of the shoe making process made me think it is actually possible to build fashion that is inspiring and motivating. The architecture of the exhibit is perfectly minimal where the bits and pieces assume almost a duchamp's ready made status. I also enjoyed the video edit of machinery and sounds where industrial-noise meet artisan craft. I am happy to acknowledge that the legacy of Martin Margiela is still alive..

Nada Imàgenes


My friend Caroline Corbetta just made me notice this surreal case. here is the list of do's and don't for usage od press images of Mario Testino's exhibition Todo o Nada. 

We both think this has nothing to do with the 21st century as such. Images belong to the people! 
by the way having met at least 10 photographers in the past 10 years declaring to have been Mario's assistant and having realized that there must be at least 10 clones of Mr Testino I feel so scared of publishing images on this post that THIS WILL BE THE FIRST AND LAST I PUBLISH WITH NO IMAGES AT ALL! ENJOY!
