Hyeres we go !
Back from our wonderful french riviera, with mind full of beautiful things and lots of photos for you !
A nice 2009 Hyères festival with sun, wind and rain, a conference with the genius Tim Walker, Peter Knapp and Janet Froelich, creation director at New York Times.... Two english artists Swash, and knitting session with friends in the Villa Noailles garden, everybody staring at us !
A really nice atmosphere and nice people there, the winners of the competition with strong personnality (pictures in the second part of the post) — Marite Mastina and Rolands Peterkops, a couple from Latvia who build a world around oversized wigs (Grand Jury prize from L'Oréal and the 1,2,3 prize), Simon-Pierre Toussaint, a young belgian who would like to give a new life to sleeping bag and hicker uniform, my favourite ! (Swarovski and Public prize) and finally Harald Lunde Helhasen from Norway and his yeti-man (ahah) dressed with a nice sarouel tye-dyed (Swaroski prize ex-aequo with Toussaint). As you can see it was a very masculine year !
As always a real pleasure to be at the festival, even if the stylists selection was less exciting this year and the weather not really nice... We are back happy and full of beauties in our heads ! Already waiting for next year...
Amazing flower necklace by Swash.
Steven Meisel and his three-hundred-and-seventeen Vogue covers.
