No, you don’t need to scream and cry to be a good male actor: “Marty Supreme” and the complete range of emotions
If you’ve watched a few male performances lately, you know the routine. Someone shouts. Someone breaks something. Critics nod gravely, and awards follow. Is louder better?

La conversation à 88 touches de Pierre-Laurent Aimard au Louvre
Dans l’amphithéâtre Michel Laclotte, sous les pyramides du Louvre, le passé et le présent ont comparé leurs partitions, arbitrées par un piano (et parfois deux). Une démonstration que le temps, bien tempéré, tient en quatre-vingt-huit touches.

Column #14 - Is there such a thing as good style?
Style is often treated like a personality trait: you either “have it” or you don’t. Like freckles. Or charisma. The problem is that this idea collapses the second you try to define it. If style were purely instinctive, then no one would learn it, teach it, refine it, or lose it… right?

Column #12 - In gold we trust, in silver we spend
They’ve weathered recessions, bad perms, and the brief moment when cargo pants were chic, and now they’re quietly bankrolling the future of fashion.

Column #11 - Squarespace, Skylines, and Designer Dreams
Some cities sell dreams. New York rents them by the square foot - no returns, no refunds.

Éditorial #4 - Qui veut la sac? La maison? Le titre?
Paris en juin 2025. La Fashion Week est là, fashion week qui sent à la fois le neuf et le formol, le changement, et l’encre qui sèche sur des contrats qui viennent d’être signés. Cette saison, ce ne sont pas juste des collections que l'on voit défiler, ce sont aussi des ambitions, des virages, et quelques CV récemment mis à jour sur LinkedIn. Des premiers shows pour certains directeurs artistiques, des collections d’adieu pour d’autres. Qui dirige? À voir.

Éditorial #3 - Palais, pastèques, et panne sèche
On sait tous que la collection Cruise 2026 de Gucci a été présentée au Palazzo Settimanni. C’était un peu Florence, un peu Fellini, un peu Gucci en storytelling calibré. C’était beau. C’était émouvant. Les terrasses étaient remplies. Tout le monde a applaudi. Tout le monde?
