impression culinaire et architecturale : le fruit du jaquier ou durian!
photos Roberto Fabris
à gauche les théâtres de Singapour "Durian Theater" en forme de fruit du jaquier et un marché en Malaysie avec un étale de durian
leur odeur particulièrement forte est un symbole de ce qui peut séparer les peuples, surmonter nos goûts et nos habitudes même culinaires peut paraître impossible...
Ce fruit est un des symboles de l'île cité nation de Singapour!

Marlon Brando sporting a stripe tee crossing his arms
when I look at such a picture, a reknown actor striking the pose in front of the camera with beautiful rows of books cum photos as setting, I don't see a young man with a library behind him, I see someone with his many dream friends!

A remarquer, le mot français dentelle (qui viendrait des petites dentelures autour de la dentelle) se dit en anglais lace (de lacet) ou needlework (travail d'aiguille!)

#Olatz Garmendia Schnabel wears a "Sporting Clubs" studded dress by RF
Olatz Garmendia Schnabel
who later married Julian Schnabel, the now famous film director once a famous painter, did her very first fashion catwalk show for me in Paris.Ilike the venue, totally "couture", my fab XVII th century Hôtel Particulier (french for mansion) said to have been once Lully's home near Opéra. Here, she is sprucing a cool wool studded-around-the-sleevehole bicolored shash dress in front of Just Jaekin, the film director of Emmanuelle the soft Xrate movie. Olatz was so beautiful and cool, somehow rather shy because she was really at the starting point of her career. She now runs her own luxury + home design store.

flowers, at Bruxelles Royal Museums and in Roberto Fabris estates
Dans les collections royales de Bruxelles à gauche et chez moi à droite : des fleurs. "For many years I could not figure out why people would like flowers paintings like they did in the XVIIth century, and later I would understand that the idea of freshness and colors or even more the idea of scents would be more important that the scent itself".

CHANEL'S ALLURE AND ATTITUDE IN 12 BOOKS
documents Aaron Vintage Store on Ebay.
(pas besoin de traverser la Manche, je vous apporte 12 livres qui parlent d'elle)
12 Livres à la recherche de Gabrielle Chanel, un personnage beaucoup plus passionnant que sa mode. 12 biographies et essais ou romans qui découvrent les aspects sophistiqués de cette personnalité des deux guerres, 14-18 et 39-45(ww1 and ww2). J'ai eu la chance et l'opportunité de travailler et de vivre auprès de gens qui l'ont contoyée en tant qu'amis, mannequins de cabine ou tout simplement "petites mains" de la rue Cambon.
Ces dernières d'ailleurs, m'en ont appris beaucoup plus à propos du quotidien de la couturière, sans les mythes, sans hostilité ou voire sans jalousie...A lire et relire en quelque sorte celle qui fut protectrice des Arts (Serge de Diaghilev et Les Ballets Russes) amie des plus grands (Misia et son mari José Maria Sert, décorateur pour les Saxton Nobel) collectionneur invétéré des paravents de Coromandel de Mme LangWeill, intime de Sem l'illustrateur, de Reverdy le poète (à qui elle devait la constitution de sa fameuse bibliothèque de la rue Cambon) et maîtresse des plus beaux, des plus intellignets, ou des plus célèbres hommes de son temps (The duke of Westminster, le grand duc Dimitri Pavlovitch, qui complota contre Raspoutine). Un parcours hors norme, à offrir à ceux qui aiment la vie, les passions et les drames humains dans le monde irréel de la couture et de la haute société du "turn of the century"(fin de siècle), à partager, un régal de finesse et d'esprit "à la française". Chanel, un être rare capable de se réinventer bien avant Madonna.
Merci à tous les auteurs pour ces moments de pur plaisir à vous lire. De Saint Moritz, sur les traces de Paul Morand à Roquebrune Cap-Martin où mes parent ont habités pendant des années.

Kimi, the Formula 1 return, "poco a poco"
what I prefer :the returns, re-try, re-invent, revamp. Any person who could make a come-back in his life, his career, I believe it's human. And here Kimi, who is definitely an excellent "pilote de F1", is coming back, I like the way he "conceives" his grand prix, how he builds his laps, step by step, in italian "poco a poco". That happens to be my venitian family motto "Paulatum" in latin it means step by step, in french "pas à pas".RmF.2012
NB no advice of the day, only keep up and may be find somebody else, better for communication!

John Kennedy's homage by George at breakfast
GEORGE Ph. Roberto iPhone4
George was a wonderful mag, not really a glossy but perfect to start the day as I did this morning, Nespresso Ristretto not lungho decaff! A leather jotting book cum fancy padlock bought in New York at Barney's or somewhere nearby...The mag featuring editorials by late John F.Kennedy Jr. was a sexy approach of politics in the states with a social and glamourous touch missing sometimes in politics, farewell John!

CARTIER...Tiffany's...Harry Winston...sounds like a Marilyn Monroe's song!
Ph. Roberto iPhone 4
It's a personal tribute to the fantastic work of art by Cartier.
At the time I met Pzema Karolak, the sculptor from Poland who hand-carved, wax cast, the panteras on the above pic, "sculptées à la cire perdue", I owned a brand store near Place des Victoires. She was coming directly from Warsaw, I believe with provincial clumsy taste, but somehow you could see she was gifted. I comissioned her tthe two costume brooches, "à l'identique" and I kept them since that time circa 1990.
The show in which they were presented was an homage to the elegance of the late duchesse de Windsor, who cherished those beautiful jewels by Cartier(the real ones for sure), place Vendôme.
I called the show "Existenz Minimum" wonder why?

[boire un petit coup, c'est agréable...] pinot noir and white collar's Matt Bomer
oh, yes Pinot Noir Mercurey 1° cru "tête de cuvée" isn't bad at all to share a good moment with a friend, like Matt Bomer in White Collar, one couldn't dissociate good times and wine drinking ( à consommer avec modération, toute fois!)

green concern? no, blueprint preservationism : NAICA fantastic giant rock crystals
MESMERIZING SHOWS!
Karl rock crystal inspiration for Chanel spring summer 2012 apparel show in gigantic Grand Palais cave-looking-glass-dome , is not doomed at all.
Instead KL showed us how to be a great environmentalist (remember the bigger than life GREENLAND iceberg show) in sprucing the real-fake sized amazing rock crystal beauty on his fashion catwalk show, think of that the wonderful Mexican NAICA rock crystal caves speleologists may disappear before the chic clients at Chanel!
It worth calling the show NAI-KARL'S

recently seen on tele, in Criminal Minds, Salavator Xuereb. On the pic above, actors Emmanuel and Salvator Xuereb exceptionally doing a show as models for me because I knew their late fantastic mother, PR Sophie Xuereb, so for fun they carried me around as a tropheo at the end. We were about 20 years old! I like the "before and after" photos...
