Eye On Fashion

Clothing is one of the first thing you notice about any persons encountered. It innocently shows the personality, taste, and style that one possesses. Time changes as does fashion. I browse through the latest collection from the runway of Vivienne Westwood and Dior Homme and found these interesting.

Vivienne Westwood – Spring/Summer 2006
Wearable and classy with unique details that are sure not to be too ordinary.

Dior Homme – Summer 2006
Prince-of-Bhutan style and formal rock tux from Heidi Slimane for Dior Homme. The only obstacle for those who wish to wear is that you have to be slim enough.

Even though these selections cannot easily be found in stores near you, it only requires taste and keen eyes to match one's personality, identity, occasion, and such, to the clothing out there waiting to be picked up. Time, money, fashion should be in equilibrium. Image is everything nowadays, remember?

Happy shopping!

Art On Film

It is generally accepted that movie itself is an art – art of expression and imitation of life in every kind of imaginative and creative setting. Sometimes you may encounter the artist's life and works in movies, for example, Leonardo Da Vinci in Ever After and Da Vinci Code, Frida Kahlo in Frida, René Magritte in The Thomas Crown Affair, Francesco Clemente in Great Expectations, and so on.
My favourite pieces of art that included in films are listed here.
René Magritte – The Son of Man (Le Fils de l'Homme)
This iconic artwork was featured as a key to the con of Thomas Crown, starred by Pierce Brosnan. This businessman with an apple in front of his face is described by the artist as this:
Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden...
Even though it is a self-portrait, you can not easily distinguish this fact due to the apple.
The belgian surrealist died of cancer in 1967 with many interesting artworks left for us. You may also read this for his biography and list of artworks.
If Dalì had crossed the bridge from his surreal side to our world, he would certainly see the back of Magritte.

Marc Chagall – Murals for The Metropolitan Opera House or "The Met"
In the movie "Moonstruck," when Ronny Cammareri finally met Loretta Castorini at The Met for "La Bohème" Opera, Ronny said to Loretta about Chagall's art like this:
Ronny Cammareri: This was painted by Marc Chagall. And, as you can see, he was a very great artist.
Loretta Castorini: It's a little gaudy, don't you think?
Ronny Cammareri: Well, he was havin' some fun.
Yes, maybe Chagall is having fun painting this mural at the coolest opera house in New York. It is a bridge between art and symphony – perfect "gaudy" harmony.
The contrast between harsh and stark building and this freely and inspiring art complements each other with awe to the audience's eyes.

George Seurat – Un Dimanche Aprè-Midi à L'Ile de La Grande Jatte (A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte)
When you watch "Amelie," french ironic movie, you might probably notice one character, who have painted imitations of this artwork for all his life. The french pointilist created this masterpiece in 1884, while the world have had enjoyed the chill-out positivism since the 1886 exhibition.


Francisco Clemente – Estella
This portrait of Estella, starred by Gwynette Paltrow, expresses the out-of-reach love of Finn, a naïve self-taught painter. This Alfonso Cuarón adaptation of Charles Dickens's "Great Expectations" sets in modern New York instead of London with all the Big Apple atmosphere – from costumes, lifestyles, restaurants, art, music, media, and such. It is my favourite movie, soundtrack, and score of all time!

These are just a few examples of many out there that bridges the movie and art world to encompass the audience with blissful appreciation.

Viva L'Italia!

Italy wins the FIFA World Cup 2006 against France after playing for 120 minutes and Zidane being ejected for headbutt action. In the Olympiastadion, Berlin, every road paves its way for Italy to the World Cup as Italy has won their matches consecutively from Ghana, Czech, Australia, Ukraine, German, and France. Also noted that this time is the fourth championship they are celebrating, which means it surpasses Germany as the most successful European team in winning the World Cup. Many factors have been accounted for Italy success, including better position, better spirit, more player, and such. It is Italy year this very year.
Viva L'Italia!

Football Craze

From my point of view, football is one of many games that teaches us about "practical" teamwork and strategic planning. "Practical" in this sense really means "in action" not in some meeting table or on monitor screen. That is one of many alluring aspect of this kind of game: many resources have been allocated to take every chance of winning, from technology, training, coaching, analyzing, planning to buying and even speculating. Football unites people as one.

I am personally not the kind of regularly watching football match but this time (World Cup 2006) is an exception and Portugal is the reason. Their great teamwork and determination, despite the weak scoring skill, get the team to semi-final. At the moment I am now writing this blog, Portugal losed Germany by 1-3. The only goal of theirs is a very beautiful shot. Hey, the match ended and we must live on to watch Italy vs. France tomorrow! Glory to Portugal.

Did I just mention my bias or broken-hearted aftermatch fever? Up to your judgement. But if you would want a second opinion or analysis, I could recommend this marketing pocketbook "Brand Sense" by Martin Lindstrom that will definitely open up your perception about how to achieve marketing excellence via five senses, instead of just tradition two. Football can be explained extensively and comprehensively through this book of why people all over the world share the same craze. Could it be the cheering of audience, the exciting player movement, the smell of the match, the high level of participation in the game by wearing the team shirt, the painting on your face, the singing of the team songs, the celebrations after the match, the drinking, the betting and many many factors. Every successful brand with landmark marketing strategy that can be "smashable" follows the same guideline written out well in this book - embrace as many senses as possible in each and every marketing activities and win the market gracefully.

Artist List Update

After my conversation with my faraway friend, whose name is not to be disclossss (*cough* Murz) sed, she asked me to recommend some new music upon which I am not to disappoint her, so included in my list are as follow:

Enya – Amarantine
Mode: Sleeping beauty
Intensely packed with her full featured featherly voice to soften your mood like a sweet lullaby you could ever wish to listen. You could turn your stereo or iPod into a cradle
instantly whenever her songs are played.
This mermaid could definitely join up with Annie Lennox or Sarah McLachlan to the battle between human and giant and win! Light up your room with aromatherapeutic candles and her music to fully absorb the spell. In Enya, we trust.

Gnarls Barkley – St.Elsewhere
Mode: Out of your head
Jump out of your chair and start dancing like crazy with their smash hit single "Crazy" even though you prefer to keep the rhythm to your head. The album artwork best suggests its theme – to explode yourself out and live on freely. The music video of "Crazy" imitates the general psychologic blot-ink test but with artistic creativity that links craziness to psychology. Clever and crazy.
Enjoy the world of Barkley's and you would never return back normal.

The Goo Goo Dolls – Let Love In
Mode: Into rock
Despite the fact that Goo Goo Dolls is famous for its "Iris" hit and doesn't succeed in Thai market ever since, this album is another attempt to emphasize its true devotion to music. "Better Days" and "Let Love In" are one of my favourites at the moment. Cool as heaven, beautiful as (gutter)flower, and tempting as love Goo Goo Dolls invites us all in. It is this time that ears are also the windows to your heart.


Lee Ryan – Lee Ryan
Mode: Back to mainstream pop
This guy from Blue promises you with his debut album packed with a-little-bit-high-pitched songs that melts your heart away, especially women's.
His songs are easy to sing along and enjoy the ordinary pop sensation. You're my past, my future, my all, my everything, the six in the morning when the clock rings, and I open up my eyes to a new day – "When I Think of You". This catchy phrase is currently set as my ringtone due to its melt-your-heart-away sensation. Nice.

There are so many music to recommend but a little time to introduce them all, though, I will try my best.
