    Tiere essen

    April 26, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Im Frühjahr 2013 ging ein Aufschrei durch Deutschland: Pferdefleisch – in unserer Lasagne? Kein Tag verging, ohne dass mit dem Finger auf mindestens eine weitere Supermarktkette gezeigt wurde, die Wendys besten Freund als Fertiggericht im Sortiment hatte. Viele waren schockiert über diesen Etikettenschwindel – aber warum eigentlich? Weil uns die Entscheidung abgenommen wurde, welches Tier wir essen und welches wir gern haben sollen? Weil wir die Illusion der Kontrolle über unser eigenes Essverhalten somit endgültig abgeben mussten? Oder vielleicht doch, weil uns ein ums andere Mal vor Augen geführt wird, dass wir uns nicht allzu erhaben fühlen sollten – weder über Tiere, die ebenfalls Fleischfresser sind, noch über Menschen aus…

    The Good, the Bad, and the 17th Century

    April 4, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Here we are again at the 17th century, the time of Master Rembrandt and his many self-portraits. But, frankly, when I consider wanting to go back in time, I don’t fancy returning to the 17th century. There were a tonne of wars. Famines in Russia, France, and Finland and a plague in both Seville and London. Shakespeare died, for crying out loud – I’m still mourning this loss.     The Good: Jamestown, Virginia was established – which later led to a massacre of 347 English settlers by the natives (essentially score one and only) St Peter’s Basilica was completed Torture was outlawed in England (we’re still waiting for that…

    Where’s The Respect?

    March 28, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Animals:  We keep them as pets; use them for food, clothing, and transportation; we travel thousands of miles to see them on safari; gawk at them in zoos; revere them in certain religions; abhor them and call them vermin; experiment on them for medicine and for beauty; work alongside them in certain jobs; use them therapeutically; compete them; bet on them; cage them; free them; hurt them; heal them; study them; and learn from them. They truly are deeply ingrained into our way of life, and have been since the dawn of time. Our treatment of our (usually) four-legged friends, as a society, differs greatly from one country to the…

    Libertadamente Gaultier

    July 31, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Todos hemos oído alguna vez ese apelativo un tanto raído de «L’enfant terrible de la moda» que se utiliza con frecuencia para calificar a un sinnúmero de modelos y diseñadores —mujeres ellas, hombres ellos, salvo la honrosa excepción de Vivienne Westwood—, especialmente a los segundos. La frasecilla no atiende al decoro y habla sin acatamiento del réprobo John Galliano, del atribulado Alexander McQueen, del guipuzcoano Ion Fiz, del talentoso Esteban Cortázar, de mi paisano David Delfín, de Christian «L’enfant-Roi» Deslauriers, del renovador Marc Jacobs o, cómo no, del francés Jean Paul Gaultier. Precisamente a este último le ha dedicado una exposición el de Young de San Francisco. «The Fashion World…

    Mode – Jean Paul Gaultier

    July 31, 2012 / 0 Comments

    La mode est-elle forcément synonyme d’extravagance ? En général pas dans la vie de tous les jours. Jean-Paul Gaultier est une exception dans le cercle des créateurs de mode, qui a le premier voulu intégrer à ses créations les caractéristiques du monde qui l’entoure. Ce qui le différencie ? La provocation.       Depuis le début de sa carrière dans les années 70, on le connaît pour ses créations hors-normes, souvent multi-ethniques (il a fait sensation avec une collection intitulée « Barbès ») et toujours transgenres. Ses silhouettes androgynes sont facilement reconnaissables, parées de matières brillantes et métalliques. Madonna en est le symbole parfait. L’exposition du musée De Young de San Francisco…

    Fashion Passion

    July 31, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Fashion is not my thing. I’ve stated before that I am a neutral, solid colour kind of girl. Occasionally I’ll throw on something bright to mix it up, usually a pair of stilettos. Leading me to the point in which I must confess to my deep, inherent, undeniable love of shoes, and, more specifically, boots. (Cue in blaming my mother, who tried to get me to care about blouses, skirts, and dresses as well, but was less successful. Apologies and gratitude, mom!) Once upon a time my friends wanted to go out for the evening; I didn’t want to open my closet, because it can get very taxing as a…
