Emma Chamberlain- You Tube veteran

Emma Chamberlain- You Tube veteran Growing up in 21st century means to watch a lot of videos and make them, too. Emma Chamberlain did it as well and in 2017 changed the world of online video and created her online empire. It is curious that her audience is more than 10 millions but it feels like she’s sharing her life only with you. “I remember when I first started making YouTube videos, I was kind of emulating the style of the time, which for girls my age was make-up and clothing-focussed, and very pristinely produced. I loved consuming that content. But I had this epiphany where I was like, why am I doing this? There’s no need to be emulating what’s already there. So what do...

Odile Decq – Space, freedom and body.

Odile Decq - Space, freedom and body. Odile Decq's aesthetic is both contrast and continuity. Her mission is to find continuity into a context.  Her  work is joyful, sensual, and intuitive.

It goes beyond designing objects, for it is also about sociology, politics, geography, economics, law etc.. We have to bring these disciplines together into a synthesis that addresses all the relevant issues. This synthesis generates an idea, and this idea is the project. The idea is more than the building, because it deals with all the scales involved from the smallest details...

“We must never confuse elegance with snobbery” - said Yves Saint Laurent. These words were part of his never written personal manifesto of ethics and esthetics. As a young and fragile boy, born in French Algeria, he told herself repeatedly that one day Yves will be famous. On his ninth birthday he has blown out candles and imagined that his name will be written on the Champs Elysees. On the other side, in the school he was bullied for showing homosexual tendencies but his young and creative spirit found solace in making paper dolls dressed in various shapes, colors and fabrics.  “I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition” - said designer twenty years later and it became true. At the...
