The Generic Man for Comme des Garçons SHIRT Presents 'River Mouth'



For the launch of the spring 2013 footwear collaboration between The Generic Man and Comme des Garçons SHIRT, GNRC Design enlisted Ways & Means director, Felipe Lima to head down to Brazil and capture movements of his young brothers donning the collection as they explore the city, by day and night. Over the course of a week, he filmed Rodrigo and Marcelo on the streets of Rio and in the jungle of Paraná. This story of brotherhood and indulgence takes us from walking Roberto Burle-Marx's iconic 'calçadão' of Copacabana to approaching the singularly powerful Iguazu Falls.

We can't say where, exactly, these shoes will take you but we do know that they all embody the spirit of adventurous souls, the appeal of spontaneous travels, and the desire to enjoy the subtle, mysterious pleasures of life that are so quickly forgotten and taken for granted.

Post Tenebras Lux





The Award-Winning Mexican Director Carlos Reygadas Offers a Glimpse into His Magic Realist Feature

A family drives along a dreamlike Mexican highway in this excerpt of Carlos Reygedas’ poetic new film Post Tenebras Lux. His forthcoming release, which won him Best Director at the 65th Cannes Film Festival, follows Juan and Natalia—played by Adolfo Jiménez Castro and Nathalia Acevedo—and their two children as they navigate the surreal and intimate conflicts of upper-middle class life. The kids asleep in the back of the car are the director’s own daughter Eleazer and son Rut, and their appearance forms part of Regeydas’ philosophy of exploiting elements of his domestic reality. “It’s my house and my children and everyone I know,” says Reygadas, who used his mountainside abode in the state of Morelos, 100km south of Mexico City, as the primary location during the four-month filming period. “I just took what is dear to me—I like to open the doors so you can look inside.” Reygadas’ first feature Japón received a special mention for the Caméra d’Or Award at Cannes in 2002 and his last full-length film Silent Light won the Jury Award there in 2007. His latest work eschews traditional storytelling conventions and instead offers up beautifully shot and striking scenes that work on their own or as part of a quixotic assemblage. “If you want to categorize it I would say it is a cognitive film rather than a narrative one,” says the filmmaker. “It is about the perception of reality, not the present conscious—the way we feel life.” 

How much of what happens in the film is based on your life?
Carlos Reygedas: It is not a recreation of my life, but a recreation of a lot of thoughts. Imagine you could connect some electrodes to your brain while you slept and saw the results the next morning on the television. I wanted to share what I have been living through, what I have felt, what I have thought—what is subconscious in my life. 


Was using your own house and the surrounding Mexican countryside as a film set a difficult decision?
CR: We are programmed to be shallow and because of that we think intimacy resides in very elementary things like a bedroom, or even in our underwear drawer. Some people never show those things to others because they are private, whereas a bedroom is only walls with a bed. I wasn’t afraid to do that, so I didn’t need to be brave. For me intimacy resides somewhere else. 


The opening scene features your daughter lost in the wilderness at dusk, surrounded by dogs. Was that tough to shoot?
CR: No more than anything else. It took maybe five or six afternoons as it had to be shot in the light of dusk. There were eight dogs in the scene—I have ten and we used them all in the film, so I was the animal wrangler on set! That’s why they seem so well behaved. All filmmakers should do this. Instead of inventing some strange story, why don’t we make a film about what we know?


Post Tenebras Lux is showing in UK cinemas from March 22 and in the US from May 1.

TAKE MY PICTURE


When we set out to make this short, our intention simply was to observe the phenomenon of fashion bloggers and street style stars. As we started to review the footage, two salient trends became apparent: fashion editors frustrated by the ensuing commotion outside of shows, and the rise of "peacocking" street style stars as a result of the proliferation of blogs. This film examines these themes from both perspectives.

Are you really open-minded?




Quebec’s Minister of Justice is asking people in that province if they really are as open as they say when it comes to homosexuality in the province’s first large-scale, publicly funded campaign to fight homophobia.

Launched Sunday night during the two most-watched TV shows in la Belle Province (La Voix on TVA and Tout le monde en parle on Radio-Canada), two spots questioned viewers’ ideas of openness. One shows a man waiting at the airport, getting a message on his phone saying “I’m coming, my love.” Both a woman and a man smile as they approach him, but he greets and kisses his boyfriend. The voiceover says: ”Does this change what you thought a few minutes ago?” 

The other spot shows a woman arriving home to find a rose and a note saying “My love, come meet me in the living room.” It turns out to be a surprise party. Her female partner kisses her and wishes her a happy birthday.
The Québec City offices of Cossette have been working on the campaign for the past year. The campaign began as a mandate set by the now-defeated Liberal provincial government. When the Parti Quebecois took power in the fall of 2012, it carried that part of the Liberals’ agenda forward, bringing the campaign to completion.
”Our insight came after we did research and it came out that, individually, Quebecers thought they were more open-minded than society in general,” said Martine Delagrave, the agency’s Quebec City general manager. “When you scratch the surface, though, there is often a ‘but.’”
The research showed these “buts” often looked like this: “I have nothing against homosexuals, but is it really safe for them to raise children?” “I don’t mind gays, but do they have to kiss in the streets?”
“We wanted to invite the population to do an introspection and question their openness,” Delagrave said.
Part of the campaign is a website that allows people to do just that. The user is exposed to diverse situations – for example a little boy who “loves his two mommies” – then asked if the situation bothers them “not at all,” “a little” or “a lot.” After answering a few questions, the user gets their results and is invited to share the site within their social network.
In the 48 hours since the site’s launch, it has received 30,000 likes on Facebook, been tweeted 1,800 times, and 74% of people who started its online test completed it.
Delagrave said one of the challenge with this effort is that homophobia isn’t easy to measure. “Nobody wants to be labelled homophobic. The only measurement we have is when a homophobic crime is committed. That’s the sensationalist part. But the most insidious one is in attitudes.
“Also, because it’s backed by the government, the message had to be positive. We couldn’t target homophobic people and talk to them [directly]. We had to use the population in general to pass our message.”
The campaign has sparked some harsh comments. Morning TV show Salut, bonjour! asked its Facebook fans what they thought about it. More than 330 responded, and approximately 11% of those respondents said it wasn’t necessary to show two men kissing on TV, that they’re going to have to explain that to their kids. A TVA employee also received a voicemail asking the network to remove the spot showing ”two faggots kissing.”
“This is the proof this campaign was necessary,” said Delagrave.
A second campaign phase is planned to start in 2014, which will potentially address homosexual parenting.

The Listener



The Listener - the name given to the collection and conceptual work this season - is our take on the importance and beauty of story telling. Some stories have inspired us to such an extent that we decided to work with the people behind them. One is of surrealist artist Antonio Lourenco, a dissident of the former military regime in Portugal, who has hidden his artistic talent whilst spending the last 30 years working as a librarian in Sweden. Another is that of modern circus men Eos, Aaron and Valia who tell a vibrant story through their explosive acrobatics. An essential source of inspiration for us is the abundance of great stories that surround us. We choose to slow down and simply listen, believing in the correlation between inspiration, perception and real action. This way of slowing down allows us to acknowledge what is going on around and within ourselves. In today’s world of intense information flow we find this increasingly relevant.

VSP collections evolve from one to the next. With each new season, details build on past experiences. Leather craft is furthered with new technical detailing, fabric treatments and material combinations. The winter season allows us to experiment with new tactile qualities, by constantly exploring shearling leathers and wool-leather combinations. For FW13, VSP shearlings are shaved and short haired, giving a soft character to materials. Colours are increasingly deeper with burgundy reds, olive greens and golds.
Oversized collars and wrapped layers emphasize the heavier silhouettes of the collection and contrast with its silk plisse and slick tight leather, to create the VSP look.
