Il faut être toujours ivre. Pour ne pas sentir l'horrible fardeau du temps qui brise vos épaules, il faut s'enivrer sans trêve. De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise. Mais enivrez-vous!.

Listen guys, all I'm saying is I think the Fandom (overall) is sleeping on Southern French culture, history, and attitude. Please give my boy some more Southern badness <3

To start off, here's one thing my Chad François can do that your Fanon-favourite Pompous Parisienne François could never /lh

Bernhard Roetzel

Le luxe s'achète, le goût s'acquiert, l'élégance est innée. Bernhard Roetzel est l'auteur de manuels d'éducation du goût portant sur les détails de la culture occidentale. Ses livres illustrés Der Gentleman (1999) et Traditional Style (2000) sont des reportages photographiques de chaque aspect concret de la  Culture européenne: le vêtement, l'ameublement, les arts de la table, l'éducation des enfants, l'ordonnancement urbain, la classification des loisirs, jusqu'à l’entretien d’une pelouse, au cirage des chaussures ou à la préparation du pique-nique champêtre. Ce sont là des choses connues? Pourtant nous redécouvrons à neuf chacune d'entre elles, ressuscitées, à la lumière de photos et de commentaires dont l'efficacité sont sans concurrence dans ce domaine. M. Roetzel est un réenchanteur de tout ce que nous aimons dans le monde.

Il y avait davantage de sagesse dans le concret des gestes quotidiens de nos grands-parents que dans la pseudo-philosophie du 20ème siècle. Vivre ainsi aujourd'hui, en Français traditionnel, est une voie ouverte à qui veut la prendre: la Culture Européenne détaillée par Roetzel est intemporelle ; la forme de cette Culture touche à une perfection qui ne souffre ni ajout ni retranchement.

Nous vivons au milieu des pièces d'un fabuleux héritage et y sommes accoutumés au point de ne plus même le voir. Ce faisant nous perdons l'usage de ce legs, oublions d'où nous venons, qui nous sommes et ce que nous faisons.

Un homme annonce-t-il vouloir diriger une ferme, un village, une ville ou une région? Pour évaluer la confiance à lui accorder vous étiez jusqu'ici habitués à écouter ses discours. Vous examinerez désormais la manière dont cet homme a dirigé son propre domaine: son jardin, sa maison, son studio de 20 mètres carrés, sa toilette du jour. L'homme fidèle en peu de choses est capable de grandes choses dit l’Evangile.

Notre monde du tertiaire, du débat, de l'abstrait, est rempli de directeurs de cabinet mais vide de chef de protocole. Aux "valeurs" il est bon de joindre les actes. C'est la stature, l'incarnation, l'exemple vivant qui nous donnera sans recours aux mots les clés de la vraie Culture. "Je n'ai point besoin de sermon mais de délivrance légère" disait Céline.

Der Gentleman est à la fois une encyclopédie du vêtement masculin, jalonnée d'encadrés, de bonnes astuces, et une notice d'utilisation, un vrai mode d'emploi de la vie pratique. Si Der Gentleman constitue le catalogue de l'Européen habillé, Traditional Style explore le cadre de vie de ce même homme. Ces deux titres complémentaires ont pour objet ce que les peuples occidentaux ont produit de plus beau, de plus intelligent, de plus pratique, bref d'objectif, au point d'y convertir le monde entier: porter un pantalon, manger avec des couverts dans une assiette, s'asseoir sur une chaise, dormir dans un lit. La fenêtre, le savon, la salle de bains et mille autres objets spécifiquement occidentaux sont eux aussi devenus objets universels.  Roetzel a expliqué, illustré chacun de ces éléments considérés dans leur finition la mieux aboutie.

Est-ce en raison du fameux "esprit de système" germanique qu'il fallait que Bernhard Roetzel, allemand, fût le pédagogue le plus complet sur la culture anglaise, par exemple? L'Angleterre, l'Italie et la France sont des revendicateurs bruyants d'un certain art de vivre. Il existe en Allemagne une classe d'esthètes ignorée du reste du monde et peu soucieuse de s'en faire connaître. La bourgeoisie patrimoniale et industrieuse de Cologne, Munich, Hanovre, Brême, Hambourg, aux bourgeoisies très Heimat, connaît bien ses codes culturels : habitat, vêtement, sport, éducation, voiture, art et artisanat. Une bourgeoisie probablement plus raffinée, plus enracinée que la parisienne, que la londonienne, plus sérieuse, plus discrète.

M. Roetzel est un sujet qui s'efface pour ne montrer que l'objet, la chose en soi. En cela il rend davantage service à la cause qu'il sert que les "sartorialistes" montreurs de costume issus du youtubage. Seule doit demeurer la Culture, dont le vêtement et l'ameublement sont des catégories "superficielles par profondeur", parmi d'autres.

La production d’une Culture est la preuve de la Conscience de Soi d’un peuple. Les primitifs ne produisent pas de culture. Plus un peuple a de Conscience de Soi et plus la Culture qu’il produit est codifiée. L'exaltation de l'intelligence individuelle est une marque de basse époque, source de divisions hélas durables. La Culture, elle, est une intelligence collective, un pacifique ensemble d'habitudes forgées par l'expérience concrète de la vie, un tissu de réticences du Je en faveur du Nous, une science de la sous-expression (understatement), un code de reconnaissance communautaire à usage interne pour l'exercice du Bien Commun. La Culture était très understatement jusqu'à la fin des années 1990, avant les années Eden Park, avant la vague tapageuse du faux preppy, du genre gala d'école de commerce, lorsque l'argent était encore une chose un peu honteuse et que les classes sociales d'avant internet vivaient dans un relatif cloisonnement. Charme discret de la petite bourgeoisie locale, où êtes-vous ?

M. Roetzel écrit non en conseiller en mode mais en technicien de la culture attentif aux faits, aux actes et aux objets qui équipent celle-ci, il rédige un rapport d'enquête renseigné, neutre, qui démontre chaque argument par la photographie appropriée.

Le vrai style ne peut être sujet qu'à un ou deux changements mineurs par génération. Contrairement à la mode le style est stable, sa supériorité n'est pas dans le renouvellement cyclique de nouveautés mais dans le perfectionnement d'une Forme qui vise la plus pure exactitude fonctionnelle. L'ergonomie du vêtement bien pensé, l'importance de connaissances en anatomie pour former de bons modélistes, vastes sujets qui sont la voie royale du bel habillement.

Deux principales tendances accaparent les hommes: ils sont plutôt exhibitionnistes ou bien plutôt voyeurs c'est ainsi. Les exhibitionnistes sont la majorité de ce monde qui gît au pouvoir du mauvais goût, individus à haute estime de soi et basse conscience de soi. Monsieur Roetzel appartient au tempérament exactement opposé, celui du voyeur, celui des hommes en retrait qui aiment voir et n'être pas vus, qui ont tout compris et que personne n'écoute, c'est pourquoi ils écrivent.

do you have thoughts or feelings about fashion and clothing?

i love fashion yes. it's one of the most important forms of self expression. i love streetwear so korean and american fashion have an influence on the way i dress. french fashion (à la parisienne) is usually too pompous or drab for my style, and i don't usually like japanese fashion as much as other people

i'm a big fan of cultural clothing as well, you can't really tell based on what i post here i guess but i like to use all kinds of traditional costumes as inspiration for character design

Exposition Monaco, Moscou 2009

En mai 1909, Serge Diaghilev stupéfia le monde de la danse avec les premières représentations parisiennes de ses ballets, combinaison sans précédent de grâce et de vitalité, d’originalité et de raffinement technique. Monte-Carlo, qui fut pour Diaghilev un important centre d’activités pendant l’existence de la compagnie connue sous le nom de Ballets russes, célèbre ce centenaire par une grande exposition comptant plus de 300 oeuvres d’art ayant trait aux Saisons russes de 1909 à 1929. L’exposition s’accompagne d’un catalogue entièrement illustré auquel ont contribué les plus grands spécialistes de l’histoire du ballet et des arts visuels russes. Les productions légendaires du Pavillon d’Armide, de Cléopâtre, de Schéhérazade, du Sacre du printemps de Petrouchka, de Parade et de bien d’autres ballets revivent à travers des projets de décors, des costumes, des tableaux, des sculptures, des photographies, des éditions de luxe, des programmes et des objets de culture matérielle. Les oeuvres d’art proviennent d’une grande variété de collections publiques et privées, nationales et internationales, telle la collection Fokine du Musée du théâtre de Saint-Pétersbourg. Les créations scéniques de Diaghilev s’accompagnent d’un nombre important de tableaux, de dessins et d’autres objets contextuels qui ont caractérisé la renaissance culturelle russe dans les premières décennies du XXe siècle. L’exposition et son catalogue s’inscrivent dans une plus vaste série de manifestations ayant trait à l’activité de Diaghilev à Monte-Carlo et à Moscou, comprenant des spectacles de ballet, des films, des conférences et un colloque international.

girlhood

these days on tiktok i see a lot of these illustrations made by Kanako, mostly from My Little Paris Love and i just want to put my feelings here about them

Kanako's paintings exude nostalgia, specifically girlhood nostalgia. their art style is the one i used to see in my childhood( books, cartoons, movies), and the drawings are how i imagined my 20s to look like :)

i love the way kanako depicts womanhood and girlhood, and i, having an interest in this subject, can only talk about it and appreciate it, because it reminded me of who i wanted to be and what kind of lifestyle i dreamed of when i was little, and that's how ill live, for my inner child :)

p.s. i noticed another thing here, maybe I'll talk later about this too. Kanako Kuno is a Japanese artist who illustrates books about Parisians and their life, mostly about a blonde Parisienne woman. and here we see, again and again, the love and inspiration Japanese people have for France and its aesthetic/culture hahah :)

THE SWINGING SIXTIES

The Defining Look of the Sixties

Taylah Brewer. (2022). 60S FASHION FOR WOMEN (HOW TO GET THE 1960S STYLE). [Online]. www.thetrendspotter.net. Last Updated: 7 August 2022. Available at: https://www.thetrendspotter.net/60s-fashion-for-women/#google_vignette [Accessed 4 January 2023]

The Supremes

They were not only the most commercially successful female group of the '60s but among the top 5 pop/rock/soul acts of that decade. Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard had a mature, glamorous demeanor that appealed equally to teens and adults. Beautiful, musically versatile, and unique, the original Supremes were America's sweethearts.

Edie Sedgwick

The original 'it girl' inspired Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol, and was the toast of the New York art scene with her bouffant blonde hair, vintage chandelier earrings and by wearing nothing but a leotard and tights.

The Designers

London's fashion sector existed until the 1960s in the shadow of the renowned Parisian couturiers. Paris served as the centre of global fashion, specialising in tailored clothing for a fantastically wealthy, elite group of women. But all of a sudden, as the youth market expanded, London started to lead the pace.

Thanks to a handful of up-and-coming young designers trained in the couture tradition, Paris has maintained its edge. Fashion firms like Saint Laurent, Cardin, and Courrèges discovered how to appeal to younger customers. They established ready-to-wear shops and concessions in department stores and produced "space age" clothing that was quickly imitated on the high street.

The youth market was enormous in the US, and department stores made millions by importing London fashions. But retailers also recognised the boutique's potential. Local stores that catered to affluent customers by selling unique, cutting-edge designs thrived, notably in New York.

Andrè Courrèges

André Courrèges

The French designer is best known for introducing the revolutionary space look- featuring white boots, goggles and boxy dresses designed in futuristic metallic shades, high shine fabrics such as PVC. His look was a blend of avant-garde geometry with sports classic driven by the youth culture.

Pierre Cardin

Became famous for his brightly colored mini dresses. At the time his garments were "avant-garde" he like other designers at the time was heavily influenced by “Age" movement. His design style is mainly geometric shapes and colours.

Paco Rabanne

The Spanish born designer made a name for himself in the 1960s with his space-age inspired fashions. He used materials such as metal, aluminum, plastic, plexi glass and even fiber optics. He was the first fashion designer to use black models in a catwalk show. As a result, he was almost thrown out of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, the governing body of Parisienne fashion.

Givenchy

Responsible for the iconic little black dress that is essential to every woman's wardrobe and dressing the most elegant ladies of the time such as Audrey Hepburn, U.S. first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Grace of Monaco; Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor and socialite Babe Paley.

Yves Saint Laurent

Shift dresses and pea coats became YSL trademark styles. In 1965, colour blocking made its entrance in the world of fashion, when Yves Saint-Laurent introduced the colour block dress, inspired by the works of the famous painter, Piet Mondria.

Emilio Pucci

Is best known for colorful psychedelic prints, especially for headscarves and dresses. In 1962 the world lost screen siren Marilyn Monroe. It's believed that she was buried in one of his dresses. Monroe was a huge fan of his work which can be clarified by the volume of Pucci garments in her personal collection displayed at Christies in 1999 prior to auction. Although an already established designer, Pucci saw an increase in sales in the sixties which he attributed to Miss Monroe and her popularity.

The Birth of the Hippie

(1960-70s)

Originally used to designate beatniks who had settled in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood, the word hipple is derived from the hipster. The hippies sought for alternate lifestyles. The majority of hippies cherished independence, nature, closeness, peace, generosity, and spirituality.

Nudity was another expression of freedom that hippies used to set themselves apart from society's norms. They frequently stayed in parks or set up camp in the woods, discarding their belongings.

All throughout, people wore tight-fitting bell-bottom jeans, preferably with flower patches and ankle fringe, T-shirts, or just a skimpy halter top. All of the peasant blouses complemented jeans. Anything handcrafted was considered an accessory, and many of them had peace symbols. Popular shirts and dresses had floral prints that stood for peace and love.

In general, people dressed in a way that they believed represented who they were as individuals and not only to follow the rules of fashion. For instance, both sexes wore their hair longer and it had an unruly, uncared-for appearance. This was in response to the mid-60s girl in the miniskirt who had neat, short hair.

Woodstock 1969

At Woodstock over 250,000 hippies showed up to hear artists like Janis Joplin, The Who, Canned Heat, The Allman Brothers, and County Joe and the Fish. Woodstock was not just a music concert. It was a "profound religious experience."

The controversy of drugs

The most popular music of the time was psychedelic rock. Many of concerts were places for lippies to protest, socialise, dance, or take drugs. Drugs like marijuana and LSD were a big art of the hippy/counterculture movement. Using drugs made hippies feel like the were belling from mainstream society.

First day of the leap month

happy black history month. we here to create so ig its time to do that.

I hate giving outlines cause you'll know whats up when its over - but I've heard its necessary n I want to leave a traces of my original intention from the start.

im starting this page to discuss fashion, share thoughts on arts, and maybe society. I'm not interested in centering or decentering on the whole, at least not right now...all Im discussing is what Im up to, what Im learning, and how I see things as of right now.

i started this post watching Aachon Wol's vlog down below. u cant talk fashion without mentioning the Sudanese girls. realest most creative people you might ever meet, if u ever lucky enough to be friends with em, cherish it

I always love Copenhagen fashion week because I think it always has some of the best street wear of any season. I've seen a few good looks here. link not posting but heres the looks.

https://x.com/muglare/status/1753152681894355354?s=20

there's this Chinese saying that roughly goes wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. the idea is that people gather into a variety of streams that intersect and overlap. hopping off from that I realized that there had to be some sort of organization or community of couturiers responsible for protecting and preserving Paris' fashion primacy. I was already reading Valerie Steele's books, Paris, Capital of Fashion, and Paris Fashion, A cultural history. Both books pointed out the existence and importance of fashion organizations in Paris, like the guilds, La Chambre Syndicale etc., and their role in collectivizing and shaping parisienne fashion. from there I've been drawing mainly from Veronique Pouillard's article "Managing fashion creativity". I'm going through the citations now to see what I can find.

and one photographer I just came across is Wanda Wulz. when i look deeper, I'll go deeper.

and i will keep you guys posted on my finds.

[ourpickwickclub]

"it would be such an easy thing to camouflage, and I don’t know why her professional stylists aren’t doing this."

I don't know why the western society decided: 'a woman's chest having additional tissue? Good. An asset. Let's accentuate it. A woman's lower belly having additional tissue? Bad. Camouflage that sh**' when both are there for the same reason: protection of the reproductive system. A woman's body will always be inclined to have a little bit of extra tissue there, skinny/fit or not. Whether you're young or older. Nothing 'cheap' about it. Thinking a woman should aim to look completely flat there, is like trying to look completely flat-chested. Sure, it exists, but for most girls it's not how they're built. Back to biology class, all y'all 😂 It's a modern western culture thing. In many other cultures, a womanly lower belly is considered attractive, accentuated even. In history too. Go to Parisian art museums* and you'll notice the women in the paintings will have a lower belly. Cheap art? Marilyn Monroe wore dresses cut like that too, showing her lower belly. Cheap old Hollywood fashion?

*Coincidentally thats where I was when people were freaking out about the pink dress in NYC last fall. Looking around, pretty much all of the painted women + the slim Parisiennes had lower bellies just like Gwen, regardless of age. Me and my friend couldn't stop making the 'well I guess they're all pregnant 🤪' joke.
