KAWS for Kiehl’s

In the US, 100% of net profits will support RxArt, a non-profit national organization, committed to fostering artistic expression and awareness through the challenging, yet rewarding task of engaging young patients through contemporary art in pediatric hospitals.

Brian Donnelly, professionally known as KAWS, began his artistic career as a graffiti artist in the early 1990s, and since then has built an identity that had its genesis in guerilla imagery added to billboards and bus shelters. Through his company OriginalFake, he has released limited edition works. In addition to Kiehl's, he has collaborated on design projects with Commes Des Garcons, Marc Jacobs, and A Bathing Ape. Recently he has worked with Kanye West to create the cover art for 808s & Heartbreak which appeared on a Times Square billboard. In 2009, his art was selected for the cover of the annual "Best of New York" issue of New York Magazine. Born 1974 in New Jersey, KAWS graduated with a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. He is currently working on his first solo museum show at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, opening June 2010. A book titled KAWS, a survey of his work, will be published by Rizzoli in June 2010. KAWS has been an avid Kiehl's user since moving to New York City in 1996. His preferred product is White Eagle Shave Cream.



RxArt, a non-profit organization, is committed to fostering artistic expression and awareness through the challenging yet rewarding task of engaging young patients through contemporary art in pediatric hospitals. By curating installations in hospital settings, RxArt provides a humanistic and creative surrounding that helps to relieve stress and anxiety, while increasing appreciation for contemporary art.

YVES SAINT LAURENT VINTAGE II

Cet hiver, Yves Saint Laurent fait un pas de plus en faveur du développement durable et de l'environnement. La maison lance cet hiver, la deuxième édition de sa collection capsule éthique appelée "New Vintage II". Cette mini collection se compose de pièces créées à partir de tissus recyclés des saisons passées. Stephano Pilati, le directeur artistique d'Yves Saint Laurent, était déjà à l'initiative de la première collection et avait imaginé ce concept fondé sur la récupération, le recyclage et la création durable. Il poursuit son engagement et recycle des tissus inutilisés des collections passées. Il les adapte, les retravaille, et allie, dans sa collection, un raffinement propre à la marque et développement durable.
La première collection "New Vintage" avait été lancée en juin 2009 chez Barney's à New York où elle avait rencontré une forte demande et un succès immédiat. Cette fois-ci, les pièces seront en vente à partir de mi décembre dans les boutiques phares d'Yves Saint Laurent de Paris, New York et Londres, en éditions limitées et numérotées.

ELEKTRA - LA MONNAIE

Par sa puissance et son audace formelle, Elektra est l'une des œuvres majeures du 20e siècle. Celle par laquelle Richard Strauss, après Salome deux ans auparavent, fit une entrée fracassante dans l'histoire de l'opéra, fruit de sa collaboration avec le poète Hugo von Hofmannsthal.
Dans une mise en scène de Guy Joosten et sous la direction musicale de Lothar Koenigs qui fait ses débuts à la Monnaie. Du 19 janvier au 4 février 2010, La Monnaie
http://www.lamonnaie.be

De muzikale kracht en formele durf maken Elektra tot een van de belangrijkste opera's van de 20ste eeuw. Het was de eerste samenwerking tussen Hugo von Hofmannsthal en Richard Strauss, en de componist gaf, twee jaar diens Salome, opnieuw een luidkeels visitekaartje af. Guy Joosten regisseert en dirigent Lothar Koenigs maakt zijn Muntdebuut. Van 19 januari tot 4 februari 2010, De Munt

By its sheer force and formal audacity, Elektra has become one of the 20th century's major works. The one with which Richard Strauss, two years after Salome, literary made his shattering entry in the history of opera. Directed by Guy Joosten and conducted by Lothar Koenigs who makes his debut at la Monnaie. From 19 January to 4 February 2010, La Monnaie

LEE ANNOUNCES COLLABORATION WITH VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

Lee is proud to announce the launch of its new collaboration with Vivienne Westwood which will debut in stores for Autumn/Winter 2010/11.
The Vivienne Westwood Anglomania and Lee collection will be available to buy from Vivienne Westwood showrooms from January 2010 and will comprise of 4 styles of jeans for men and 5 styles for women. The capsule collection will be complemented by denim shirts and printed tee-shirts.
The line takes as it’s main inspiration the Vivienne Westwood archive with references to her seminal punk and pirate collections of the 1970’s and 80’s but also to the dynamic cuts she has since developed throughout her career. These designs have been reinterpreted using Lee’s extensive knowhow in the jeans field. The result is a fresh look at denim seen through the eyes of one of fashions most original designers. Styles for women include a super skinny jean as well as a slim fit, a baggy ‘boyfriend jean’ and micro shorts. For men styles include the rock’n’roll skinny fit, ‘bondage’ jeans and low crutch oversized jeans as well as a more classic easy fit. Black and dark indigo denims in stretch and non stretch are contrasted with more distressed and vintage washes. This is complemented by a range of bright over-dyed denim in electric blue, red, emerald green, camel and white. There is also metallic printed gold and copper denim as well as a ‘trompe l’oeil’ lace all-over print taken from one of Westwood’s couture gowns. The line will initially be distributed through Vivienne Westwood stores as well as through a selected number of retailers world-wide.
