Grace Jones ... "So Far So Goude"

Portrait by Jean-Paul Goude


The arabesque that Grace Jones is executing in this 1978 photograph/artistic creation may be graceful, but it is also impossible. "What I'm interested is the illusion of reality," says the photographer and art director Jean-Paul Goude, who was to be Jones's Pygmalion, transforming her from hard-partying model to an androgynous fantasy image and international superstar. "And unless you are extraordinarily supple, you cannot do this arabesque. The main point is that Grace couldn't do it, and that's the basis of my entire work: creating a credible illusion."

A look through So Far So Goude, which collects the highlights of Goude's idiosyncratic 30-year career, reveals how much he has been inspired by the idea of an impossible image of womanhood. Goude's approach was to prove ultimately frustrating as far as Jones was concerned.

She had gained a certain amount of fame from modelling and performing in gay discos when Goude met and fell in love with her, and decided that she needed a more dramatic image. He photographed Jones in a variety of positions that were combined in a montage to make it possible to show her in profile and full frontal simultaneously. The anatomically unlikely arabesque was the end result. Accompanying an article by Nik Cohn in New York magazine, Goude's photographs were to launch Jones as an icon. Then he let his imagination run free, creating images of her with an imaginary male twin and multiplying her into an army of clones.

"Initially, she was flattered by all of my attention," says Goude on his former muse and lover. "And she's no dope - Grace is an opportunist and she knew my vision was good for her career. Initially, she let herself be taken over, but then she suspected that I had only fallen in love with her image." Was that true? "Of course it was! That's the story of my life."
— Will Hodgkinson

Isaac Mizrahi Heads to [QVC] for "New" Show

Isaac Mizrahi Heads to QVC for New Show

Thanks to the CUT for this "fab" story and ISAAC info! =)

"Isaac Mizrahi's going on TV. No, we don't mean the little-watched The Fashion Show. The designer is going on, wait for it ... QVC. Once the domain of cubic zirconia and spatulas, the cable channel is now home to a hybrid show featuring Isaac that's part reality TV, part talk show, and part sales. If you're wondering if this is genius, or thinking "What the hell?" you're not alone.

This little venture came about because of Isaac's personality, which, we can attest, is entertaining and pretty much what you see on camera. “We were just sitting there watching him talk, thinking, ‘My God! On air, you are going to resonate so strongly with our consumers!’” Doug Howe, chief merchandising officer of QVC says. So QVC execs decided he'd be a gold mine, and, as they recently saw a 10 percent drop in their first-quarter sales, they're trying to think outside the box.

And Mizrahi, who of late has seen a resurgence in his popularity, thanks to his lines at Target, Liz Claiborne, his own higher-end line, and his variety of TV work (Bravo, Food Network), is only extending his brand. But is it too much? At what point is it overexposure? “I think we are being strategic about the brand and its channels of distribution,” says business partner Marisa Gardini. Glad that's settled! Besides, Isaac gets to cook on this one. And who wouldn't want a cheesecake by him? See, people, fashion and carbs do go together."

{and I was JUST talking to my BFF[s] on the beach about this on sunday!!] HA!! .. I am excited 4-sure + 4-serious!! xo xo :el fano:

IRMA VEP

what does one do when one can no sleep... [one] watches IRMA VEP [el fano{s]] top [3] films of all time! {it rotates between} David Lynch[s] "DUNE" - Peter Greenaway[s] "THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE [and] HER LOVER" and Olivier Assayas[s] "IRMA VEP" ... anyway... IRMA VEP [ahhh i can't even begin to give you a "review" [so to speak] because I could be talking going on for hours and hours and pages and pages [ha!] but.. the star [MAGGIE CHEUNG] has been [as is] one of my all time favourite actresses/leading ladies/model/muse/[shall i go on] ?! [lol] .. anyway..
"Irma Vep is a 1996 film directed by the French director Olivier Assayas, starring Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung (playing herself) in a story about the disasters that ensue as a middle-aged French film director (played by Jean-Pierre Léaud) attempts to remake Louis Feuillade's classic silent serial Les vampires. Taking place as it does largely through the eyes of a foreigner (Cheung), it also a meditation upon the then-current state of the French film industry." ..
with that being said.. the last 2 minutes of the film changed my life forever and have influenced me in my work, my thought process, the way i approach design, and well [its one of my favourite happy places to go to] =) one of ASSAYAS[s] best {ever} IRMA VEP.. 4-serious.. [rent it/buy it/download it/SEE IT] it will change your life =) I promise!! heee [lol] xo xo :el fano:

Robot takes to the catwalk in Japan

Thank you GRAZIA for the story [+] the scoop!
"We had Pamela Anderson for Vivienne Westwood in Paris and Barbie dolls in New York, but something even more out-there took to the catwalks in Japan this week: a humanoid robot, named Miim. No, you're not hallucinating. Japanese designer Yumi Katsura sent the 5'2" virtual model down the runway in full wedding dress regalia as part of her ‘Paris Grand Collection' in Osaka. She even got the robot, sorry Miim, to take realistic sidelong glances at the bemused front row. ‘Like the father of the bride, I feel both happy and sad', said Katsura of Miim's debut, perhaps a little too proudly. So move over, Agy – the robot's developer hopes she will be able to work ‘in fashion in entertainment' in the future. There's just one problem Mrs Katsura. She's a little short for modelling standards these days.."

PETE PETERSON 'MORTIFIED' OVER PC

"BILLIONAIRE Pete Peterson is said to be "mortified" over the sneering performance of his grandson PC (above) on Bravo's "NYC Prep." "Pete is really upset," a friend said. PC -- whose official bio says, "Money, women and life's spoils are all he's ever known" -- is seen bragging and picking on younger kids. The insider added, "He was kicked out of several schools and the family cut him off at one point. He's doing this show to get an acting career." Good Luck! Last week, PC was spotted getting "super touchy-feely" with Barron Hilton at the Gramercy Park Hotel. A Bravo rep had no comment."

limelight a retail store?
*the ny post - page six

...THE LIMELIGHT -- the notorious nightclub opened in 1983 in a deconsecrated Episcopalian church on Sixth Avenue and 20th Street -- will reopen soon as a store. Jack Menashe, who owned nightclub Lounge in SoHo, is turning the long-vacant, 1849 Gothic Revival church into Limelight Marketplace with the help of designers James Mansour and Melisca Klisanin. Mansour told John Norwood of guestofaguest.com, "We're taking a place that was a blight on the neighborhood for so long and turning it into a shopping haven." Limelight was trouble from opening night, when a man costumed as Jesus carrying a large cross tried to get in. Long gone are the trannies, the drugged-up club kids and their pied piper, Michael Alig, who's in prison for the 1996 murder of the venue's resident dope dealer. After battling authorities over tax and drug charges, one-eyed club king Peter Gatien was deported to Canada...."

The Return of Goblin

OM[f]G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - GOBLIN IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! "The Italian prog rock band, who architected the soundtrack of Dario Argento's films is back with a run of live shows and a new album." OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Suspiria is like one of my top [3] movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [ahhh] and of course the mistress of the RubyTraxxx and I have a passion for both ARGENTO and GOBLIN!!! I am soooo exxxcited for lot[s] of GOBLIN incredible[ness]!

[from the supersonic Festival]
"The soundtracks of Italian horror films of the 1970s' are epic examples of filthy, psychedelic, synthy, lucid prog rock. Teamed with gratuitous nudity, bad dubbing, excessive violence and lurid fake blood, it’s a recipe for a golden age of cult cinema. One band synonymous with this type of music is Goblin.

Originally a prog rock band, they were drafted in to score the soundtrack to Dario Argento’s Profondo Rosso after friction between the director and the original composer. The entire soundtrack, including the now much loved title theme was close to being re-written. This led to a long and successful working relationship, which effectively saw Goblin become Argento’s ‘house band’. They are also responsible for the acclaimed soundtrack of Suspiria, which was recorded before Argento had made the film. In an experimental move, he wrote the film after listening to the soundtrack, letting Goblin’s eerie and atmospheric aural atmosphere guide the story. The band also produced the European soundtrack for George A. Romero’s Dawn of The Dead and scores for later Argento films.

Over the years, the band’s line up has changed numerous times, but after a long absence they have begun playing together again and are working on a new album. In a move that will excite both horror and serious music fans alike, they will make a very rare live appearance at the Supersonic Festival in Birmingham, and at London’s Scala at the end of July."

NOOOO WAY!! there is a NEW MATRIX movie!??! [WTF]!!! ha!.. but then, I was like.. wait.. "that's SNAPE el fano!" ... so it was the "good guys on one side" and the "bad guys on the other side" [of the subway platform] as if they were going to come to life and "DUEL" right before my very eyes [see all of this while waiting on the platform] HA!.. anyway.. it makes me kinda giggle.. cuz its just a BIT TOOOOO MATRIX[y] for Harry Potter.. but, I love it none-the-less!!!!!!!!! xo xo :el fano:
