好明顯,這個人買樓心切,傻掉了。

(Cerruti Spring 2008)

天呀,就讓我擁有一件Nicolas的衣服吧!


咩事呢?禁多掌聲都要炒?係咪班意大利佬覺得自己係意甲o既身形所以著唔落先?但無可否認佢地係保守囉!即是呢,講到尾最慘o既係我。Hedi又無,Nicolas又走埋。他們有理過我這位小粉絲的感受嗎?無。我是否要打去香港Cerruti問問,喂,黎緊會唔會返Nicolas果批衫呀?唔會唔該早d單聲等我儲定錢去意大利好喎。我諗我趕到季尾o卦?!

但,另一個問題又來了:香港哪裡有Cerruti的女裝?LC?

換歌

音樂播放器已轉了The Arcade Fire的Black Mirror。

I walked down to the ocean
After waking from a nightmare
No moon, no pale reflection
Black Mirror, Black Mirror

Shot by a security camera
You can't watch your own image
And also look yourself in the eye
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror

I know a time is coming
All words will lose their meaning
Please show me something that isn't mine
But mine is the only kind that I relate to
Le miroir casse
The mirror casts mon reflet partout
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror

The black mirror knows no reflection
It knows not pride or vanity
It cares not about your dreams
It cares not for your pyramid schemes
Their names are never spoken
The curse is never broken
The curse is never broken

Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!
Black Mirror!
Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!
Black Mirror!

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me where them bombs will fall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me where them bombs will fall

曾經有這麼的一段時間,常躲在學校圖書館的一角看他。黑白到彩色。杜魯福到貝魯托奇。(OKOK,高達的沒有看)

看了兩次Irma Vep。一次為Maggie;一次為他。

之候,就決定不再去看他那老去的臉容了。

這幾天我在做甚麼?

Cole Mohr。


Hedi Slimane 鏡頭下的Cole Mohr。


右一那位喪男便是Cole Mohr。

Cole在Hedi的鏡頭下顯得柔弱了一點。我跟大家說,他其實是傻的!昨晚我在FTV看他的對答,非常惹人喜愛。

甚麼叫崇洋媚外呢?看我便知道了。即是呢,近來常在聽Arcade Fire的Black Mirror。我覺得好好聽喎,因為這首歌有一句法語歌詞:

Un! Deux! Trois! Dis: Miroir Noir!

完。

我想怎樣



臨近日語大考的我,卻還有這樣的閑情逸致,花了一個晚上去搞這一壇東西。圖中的耳環,只是冰山的一角,數量最多的銀耳環並未有擺出來,我怕它們很快會氧化掉。N年前的我,很喜歡變黑了的銀耳環。可我現在是一位OL,要戴一些比較閃的東西(!)所以﹐銀器全都會用小包包著﹐極力保持它們閃/令的程度。

話又說回來,我的日語考試是死定了。12課喎﹐是少野來的嗎?究竟我學日語是來幹甚麼呢?真的可以幫助我找工作嗎?老闆有一位日本來的客人﹐天知道我跟她是用普通話來交談的!我真的呆掉了。之前走去學意大利語﹐說是要看懂signore Fellini的電影。當然少女(!)的心是另有目的﹐滿心期待會是一位貌似signore Mastroianni的男士來教你浪漫的意大利語。現實卻是一位婦人﹐來了香港100年還不懂廣東話的意大利婦人。當然這個意大利語我是學不成﹐我的程度只可以看明意大利版Elle Decoration的一組字"mia/mi casa"。

我是一位五時花六時變的少女(!)我呢﹐現在想去學法語。我要溝(平常的我是很溫文爾雅的)法國仔/佬(?)!和加拿大仔(!)對﹐是加拿大仔。我是傻了嗎?我這一刻是多麼的想去多倫多旅行啊(......)

好了﹐瘋話是完。我要「勉強」去。

(Dior Homme Fall 2008)

咩事呢請問?

****

(Review taken from men.style.com)

Does Kris Van Assche feel like a fashion Cinderella when he wakes in the morning? It was decreed that the Dior Homme shoe fit him and he was granted one of the twenty-first century’s most powerful, influential legacies. But how can he prove he’s more than a pretender to the throne? With great caution, evidently. With this, his first runway show for Dior Homme, Van Assche cleaved close to the original blueprint: a chiaroscuro spectacular featuring live music and a cast of non-professional model boys corralled on the designer’s travels. Clothing-wise, he opted to explore a couple of themes until there was simply nothing more to be said about them: an outfit composed of a tiny jacket and trousers with a legginglike cling, and a shirt-and-pants combo that featured a bottom half of multi-pleated harem-pant-like extravagance. Hammer pants, they were called in the early 1990s, after everyone’s favorite—at the time—rapper. Except that Van Assche’s interpretation was more MC Lestat, after everyone’s second-favorite vampire.

Van Assche clearly has great faith in this silhouette, because he’s used it before. And maybe it is in the DNA of the brand, given David Bowie’s brief flirtation with the Big Pant (the Thin White Duke was a seminal inspiration for Hedi Slimane, in both baggy and tight-trousered phases). But even that can’t shift the uncomfortable echoes of an early eighties Montreal/New York boutique business called Parachute. Which led on, in this case, to other discombobulating New Wave-isms: the patent leathers, the Eldritch footwear, the curious geometries of hems pointing this way or vents stitched that way. In his show notes, Van Assche evoked “the solemn advance of a Shakespearian hero,” which possibly accounted for the Hamlet-on-Mars feel of a slashed doublet… I mean, sweater and hose. Those notes hinted at an acutely self-conscious need to inject portent into the collection, likewise the unremittingly dark palette. That leads one to the obvious solution: Lighten up. There were gems in the murk, however. Van Assche presented some beautiful, poetic shirts; a barathea coat had a sleek (okay, vampiric) glamour. Maybe next time, the sun will be shining.

La Grande Vadrouille

一部由喜劇導演Gérard Oury執導﹐1966年放映的法國電影。背景發生於二次大戰期間﹐受德軍佔領下的法國。內容於我﹐不是在描寫甚麼戰爭帶來的災害﹑怎樣暴露了人性的醜惡。而是﹐很單純的﹐友情。

故事也很簡單。三名英國空軍駕駛的飛機在法國上空被擊落﹐他們在跳傘前一刻約好之後在某處會合。三人於不同地方降落﹐而每人亦給德軍發現。幸好﹐他們分別遇到三位法國人(油漆工人、指揮家和一位女的木偶團成員)﹐冒生命危險安排三人在指定的地方會合。雖然惹到週身蟻﹐卻送佛送到西﹐協助三位空軍逃回英國。

我最喜歡的一幕﹐當油漆工人和指揮家與空軍逃到郊區後﹐其中一位軍人便跟那兩位與他們出生入死的法國人說再見﹐然後掉頭便走﹐頭也不回。可憐的兩位法國人互相訴苦﹐說他們過橋抽板﹐現在也不知怎算好(他們因協助英軍逃亡而被德軍追捕)﹐說得要哭的樣子。鏡頭一轉﹐空軍們原來去找一架馬力較大的車子。他們坐上車子﹐其中一人便說﹐快去找他們吧﹐現在他們一定是在抱怨我們掉下他們不理喇。

這種輕描淡寫﹐仿彿你也曾說過的對白﹐原來是可以這樣的窩心。

理想髮型

我一直一直一直一直一直一直都想電這種髮型。奈何,和我一起剪髮的G友、痴玲和McQueen小姐都知道,我們的理髮師只會說,「呢種頭係自己set出黎架咋。」

真的嗎?真的只是set出來的嗎?如果,有哪位女孩子,是梳著這個髮型,又巧合地看了這篇post,請告訴我,妳們都是每天自己set頭的嗎?

我也只能說,我是怎樣也set不出這個髮型來的。

(圖為Preen S/S 08)

This Is Spinal Tap

就是在forum裡看到太多鬼仔讚這部電影,所以當我看見這張vcd賣10元的時候,二話不說便買了下來。(當然,了解我的,都知道這個動作是在100年前發生的)到今時今日才拿來看,顯然是過了氣。我也看的不太投入,畢竟覺得內容比較乏味。可能因為說的都很「大路」,只有你看多兩、三部有關任何樂隊的訪問或documentary,你都寫/拍得出。

我覺得這部電影的導演Rob Reiner不只這個級數,所以又上網找資料。不出所料,原來電影的最初是一部4½小時的bootleg。我好想買。

****

套用導演的口吻問自己,"If you have to choose a band member to be your boyfriend, who would it be?"

"Nigel Tufnel,definitely.He makes me laugh."

我會這樣答。

SAME HAIR STYLE



George Barnett(These New Puritans) & Hedi Slimane

理想男人

有沒有擇偶條件? 如果說,最好佢鍾意/識「咩咩咩」啦(任何人的心中都有「咩咩咩」),這只是一種幻想。但我認我有,但通常(永遠?)都不會遇到這個人(有沒有這樣的一個人存在?)。如果要每個人列出自己心目中的「咩咩咩」,實不只一樣。

1. 聽音樂(指rock)
2. 看電影
3. 懂時裝
4. 曉時裝設計
5. 玩傢俬設計
6. 搞裝置
7. 明中外古今藝術歷史
8. 又高又瘦(唔好同我講內在美緊要過外在美。呢個社會是沒有內在美的人,只要你在繁忙時間乘地鐵,便會明白一切。連最基本的禮貌也沒了﹐不用再說其他)
9. 有錢(!!)(bonus++++)

以上條件可能也有人能夠附合(某幾樣?全部?)。但這個「理想男人」,除了要附合以上所有條件外,他還要是主修political science的(!!!)打從小學看完甘迺迪傳後,我便立志要讀政治,長大後要從政!當然,現在的我是連區議員....的助手也做不成。

我其實想說,這個世界上,原來真有這個「理想男人」的存在。

教我如何不愛他。

All About Hedi Slimane

- A Boston punk band named Keys to the Streets of Fear released a song "Hedi Slimane":

I want pants like Hedi Slimane
I wanna dance like Hedi Slimane
Live in France like Hedi Slimane
I wanna fuck like Hedi Slimane.

Slimane has listened to it but says, “I could not hear or understand the lyrics at all.”

- In 1999, Gucci took over Y.S.L., which meant that Slimane would have a new boss: Tom Ford, the creative director at Gucci, who insisted that Slimane report to him. “It was a totally new idea to me, this story of ‘reporting,’ ” Slimane told me. (His English is good but not perfect.) “I might have never heard the word ‘reporting’ before. Reporting to Tom was not going to happen.” Bergé objected to the arrangement, too. “I was absolutely against it,” he told me. “Tom Ford is not my cup of tea. I don’t respect him, not at all. He is not a designer. He is a marketing man.” After meeting with Ford at the Ritz (“The situation became unpleasant,” Slimane said), Slimane resigned.

- Hedi Slimane can’t drive. He’d like to learn how, but he can’t find the time. While in Paris, he keeps a car and driver on call around the clock, in case he decides to go out searching for models in the early-morning hours. The car is a Jaguar. The driver wears Dior. “It would be a bit strange for him to show up in a funny suit,” Slimane said.

- Slimane’s most recent haircut has not been widely imitated. It consists of a wad brushed thickly forward over the top of his forehead and cropped straight across. It looks, frankly, a little like a toupee. Slimane’s friend Janet Street-Porter, the British writer and broadcaster, said, “He looks like a demented monk.”

-“When I was a teen-ager, people used to comment on how dreadfully skinny I was,” Slimane told me. “I used to take pills to put on weight.” Since no clothes fit him, he began designing his own. His mother was a seamstress, so he knew his way around a sewing machine. “I also always thought clothes looked better on a lean figure,” he said. “Life was not that unfair after all. There was a future for skinny people.”


From 《New Yorker》

Hedi Slimane was born in Paris to an Italian seamstress and a Tunisian accountant. 'My mother was always using the sewing machine, and it was driving me crazy. I was always awake because of the noise it made. I'd have to wake up and have my coffee in the middle of a piece of fabric.'

His mum would make his clothes, which annoyed him. 'When you're a kid you want to look like you're your friends and you just want to have the same dumb labels.' At the age of 16, in pursuit of teenage self-expression, he began designing his own clothes. He did all his own tailoring, seemingly having picked up the skill without thinking about it. He always wore a proper jacket, but even vintage ones didn't fit. 'I was so lean then,' he says, so he had to make his own clothes. And so began the Noughties shape of men's fashion.

From 《The Observer》

那時的J最愛穿上Lanvin的西裝四處走,他對Lucas很有好感,就像對Nicolas一樣。所以他要到Cerruti工作,之後又要離去。

主角受了J的影響,跟他離開Cerruti。

他們有很多共同愛好,非常老友。

My Love For Asparagus

This Really Makes Me Laugh.

"...features of a Russian prince, the signature cock's-comb flip of hair and the figure of an asparagus shoot..."

-《Vogue》

asparagus shoot,有甚麼比"asparagus"來形容他的身形更貼切?
Interview Magazine: How do you think the concept of time has evolved in the 21st century?

Hedi Slimane: I think there's a different sense of time: time for others and time for oneself. Personally, I've learned to do less of the things that I don't care about.

唉,我都想學會"do less of the things that I don't care about"。

A DAY IN THE LIFE (五)

知道將要結束這頓毫無意義的早餐後,我才有心情留意起四周來。

餐廳裡只有數檯的客人,可能大部份已上班去。如果不是老闆叫我來,這一刻,我該是坐在辦公室裡,百無聊賴地喝著咖啡。百無聊賴地,我是這樣形容自己近來的工作態度。Paris men's fashion week在上個星期二結束,打仗似的生活告一段落。翌日,公司裡只有幾個人上班,我是其中的一個。我不是要擺出一副勤力的樣子,只是我想不到放假後可有甚麼娛樂。反正J也不放假,我也樂得有人陪我一起虛渡光陰。

J與我是Cerruti的舊同事,然後一起過來幫Mr. P打工。他當時做一些street casting的工作,雖整天往外跑,卻穿得比任何人還要端正。一整套Lanvin就這樣陪他穿過橫街小巷。我總覺得Lucas Ossendrijver的設計像火一樣地燒壞了他的腦袋,以為自己是被cast的那位。換著我,頂多是一套Helmut Lang。Minimalism,我又想起了這個形容詞。

****

10時正離開了Café Marly。

老闆叫我跟他一起走回公司。

一路上﹐他也沒有怎樣開口﹐只是問我的工作怎麼樣﹐適應沒有。來這裡工作一年半有多﹐他還問這種問題﹐跟本就是沒話找話說。我唯唯諾諾地應著﹐總覺得老闆他今天有點心神恍惚。

我繼續左顧右盼﹐暗示著不大想說話。

M又打電話來了。

雖然有點害怕在老闆面前說私人電話,但是一起走的這段路我覺得非常的沉悶與不安,所以接了M的來電。

望著手機顯示屏﹐10時04分。

有沒有興趣和Damir Doma午飯?他這樣問。

我已約了E,改天吧。

然後匆匆掛了線。原來他找我不是因為Daft Punk的門票,我有點失望。

****

10時08分﹐已到辦公室門口。

我顯出一副慇勤的樣子﹐搶著幫他拉門。

Diamonds, glitter and trauma tears
with an unfriendly atmosphere
We'll make our night
We'll make tonight


門還未開﹐便已聽到玻璃門後傳來了Biffy Clyro的"Glitter And Trauma"。

準是J播的。

我底頭笑著﹐順便瞄了一眼老闆。他沒有甚麼表情,大底已習慣了我們的胡鬧。

****

J上月從倫敦回來﹐買來一堆唱片,他全搬到公司來。我跟他對坐﹐面前的唱片﹐將我倆隔著。

我的桌上沒兩樣東西。我說過了﹐我喜歡minimalism。不必要的﹐都不會放到這裡來。桌上只有文具文件。

****

J今天一身casual look,全套Raf Simons上陣。

Talking shit with my colleges
Did we do the same degree
You've said less to me all week
Got to go home in early
That's alright that's alright
If the money is alright
22 grand job
In the city it's alright

In the city that sounds nice

P.S. 當日的邀請卡上寫有"Somethings Can Never Be Pronounced Somethings Can Never Be Spoken"的字句。

北京遊。前篇(三)

除了去梅蘭芳紀念館外﹐我們去了梅府品嘗了梅先生生前在家常吃的東西。梅府內的厨师中有四位都是梅蘭芳家厨王壽山的傳人。所以說﹐到此進食﹐就是去嘗嘗梅蘭芳的食之道。
去梅府絕不輕易﹐我們截了兩部的士﹐司機均說不知道怎去。萬念俱灰之際﹐唯有打電話到梅府求救。「我們現在在徐悲鴻博物館呀﹐怎樣去呀。」「我給你我們的地址好了。」「我有喇﹐大翔凤胡同24号嘛。」「我再給你一個詳細一點的吧。」然後﹐他便開始捲起舌頭來。
我將電話遞給了痴玲小姐。
排除萬難﹐終於到達。
那裡是沒有菜牌的。訂位子的時候便要點名吃哪種價錢的菜式。吾等窮小子﹐只得叫每位300元(最平)的那款。再加梅府特有的酒﹐埋單780元人民幣。

北京遊。前篇(二)

說過了,這次北京之旅是以尋找梅蘭芳的足跡為大前題。所以呢,去梅蘭芳紀念館是其中一個必去之地。
今次花得最多除了是吃和乘車外,其次便是花在買梅蘭芳的紀念品上。就這一趟,便用了大概400元。雖然捧得半死,還是很開心囉。
當然,我亦跟那裡的一位大姐反映說:04年我來的時候剛巧維修,很不開心!

北京遊。前篇(一)

去北京的其中一個收獲,就是在798裡一間書店內找到07年10月號的Wallpaper。早一個星期,還在eBay上bid著這本雜誌,當時叫價已去到200港元左右。如果連郵費,恐怕要300元。幸好我的出價已被人叫過,我也放棄了。事隔數天讓我在北京看到,說是喜出望外。購買價:75元人民幣。

當然,同行的痴玲小姐是一貫地冷眼旁觀,「翹」著雙手看我一個人淹沒在一棟的back issue裡。
