Pierre René-Worms photo exhibit tribute to Ian Curtis tomorrow at Agnes B. stores

Just few weeks before the long awaited Paris release of Ian Curtis biopic Control by Anton Corbijn (watch the video trailer below), Agnés B. launches tomorrow (September, 12) the Joy Division photo exhibit at her store in the Les Halles district where the pictures were actually taken 28 years ago by Pierre René-Worms (see the invitation above).

This was on December 18, 1979, the day of the Joy Division concert in the Bains-Douches (CD of this concert was released on 2001) which was performed in almost empty auditorium.
It was Ian Curtis' first and last visit to Paris. Five months later, on May 18, 1980, at age 24, he committed suicide.

Joy Division photo exhibit at Agnes B. store, 3 and 6 rue du Jour 75001 Paris, Metro: Les Halles until October 6, 2007.

Visiting New l'Eclaireur's 600 m2 space in the 8ème yesterday


I took this photo of the l'Eclaireur's black van with printed Fornasetti patterns, yesterday in the front of the super sharp and sophisticated store, bar and restaurant L'Eclaireur at 8-10 rue Boissy d’Anglas (next door to the Buddha Bar).

Go to the Rue Boissy d’Anglas and have a dinner in this brand new Fornasetti temple owned by Armand & Martine Hadida, you won't regret it - everything here is breathtaking and so ultra holychic. The only other time I had this feeling was in Venice.
Soon: Video-interview with Mr. Hadida at HolyChic.com


New Hotel by Lacroix: Hôtel le Bellechasse


Upside: Ultra cool artsy ambiance. Finally a new Parisian hot-spot de luxe which is not designed with 90's minimalistic codes or by smothered "Plastic-Surgeon-From-16ème" flat decoration mold. Lacroix is here so over the top that you might find yourself searching for a White Rabbit after visiting the third room of the hotel.

Downside: Some rooms are so small. Lack of daylight. Does an old-fashioned bathtub in the middle of the tiny room with a low ceiling represent the playful imagination of the couturier or it's just prosaic result of space lacking? Read more at: HolyChic.com
