Art + Commerce now exclusively representats Hedi Slimane, a singular talent whose vision crosses one boundary after another: fashion, photography, curating, publishing, industrial design.

Slimane is perhaps best known as the creative director of Dior Homme from 2000 to 2007, a role that earned him a CFDA Designer of the Year award in 2002. He has worked as a photographer for French Vogue, Vanity Fair, V, VMan, Purple, and Dazed & Confused. Slimane has organized over a dozen art exhibitions, including the seminal ‘Sweet Bird of Youth’ and the recent ‘Young American’ at Amsterdam’s FOAM Museum with filmmaker Gus Van Sant.

Among the nine books of photography Slimane has published is London Birth of a Cult, a document of London’s postmillenial rock scene viewed through the eyes of former Libertines frontman, Pete Doherty. Slimane has designed compelling architectural spaces from Paris to Shanghai and recently created an original furniture system for Comme des Garçons.

Slimane is available for projects through Art + Commerce (www.artandcommerce.com). Slimane’s photographs are available for licensing exclusively through the Art + Commerce Image Archive.

It doesn’t come as a surprise to us that Karl Lagerfeld, the german fashion designer who chose to live in France favors Carla Bruni over the other first ladies.

In an interview he gave to Vanity Fair he said about Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife: “She’s imaginative, clever, educated. She knows how to behave. She speaks many languages. It must be an embarrassment for the wives of other heads of state to see this beautiful creature who can wear anything and speak like that.”

Looking out of our office window and seeing the roof of the Reichstag in the distance where german chancellor Merkel often holds her speeches i think to myself that at least one spouse won’t be embarassed by her looks - as long as Carla doesn’t look too long into the eyes of our chancellor’s husband Joachim Sauer.

Makes me wonder about how to call a husband of a female head of state? Can’t be first lady for sure. Maybe first gentleman, first man, first husband...? As far as i have read, Margaret Thatcher’s husband was always called “the man behind Margaret Thatcher”. But that was some days ago and in the end…

Though the company has not revealed the exact location of it’s japanese flagship store, the plans of the architects can already be viewed online.

Shibuya or Ginza are among the places where Louis Vuitton might build it’s Japan Flagship Store.

Check out some pictures of the desings by dutch UNStudio on dezeen.com.

In their september issue Vanity Fair features the supermodels from yesterday who have never been more up to date than today.

The story “A League Of Their own” is about Stephanie Seymor, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford - the girls for whom somebody created the title supermodels.

Wish that i’ll manage to have a “derriere” like Naomi or Claudia when i’ll one day be a woman of their age…

Summer is always the best season to ride around with your bike.

Stay healthy and in perfect shape - just two reasons to take a ride. Roman is riding on a daily basis on his 26” triathlon machine while i’m thinking about getting me one more comfortable steel horse - maybe the one Agyness has?

No matter what - we agree with whowhatweardaily and call bikes the must-have accessory of the season! If you wanna find out more about why bikes are so en vogue at the moment, read their article by clicking on the name of their website.
