Black Swan trailer

I took the occasion that it was the "Printemps du Cinema", 3,50e the ticket! to go and see "Black Swan" with the fantastic Nathalie Portman: slightly disturbing and beautiful at the same time... Watch the trailer here.

Sessun

They open a new store on Rue de la Clef, one fashion brand that I like to follow: Sessun. Emma Francois, designer at the origin of the brand, studied first anthropology, that's why you really travel through different cultures when you look at her collections, with the subtle prints and colours; the different products work quite well in the whole story-atmosphere, refreshing I find...

"Aux Merveilleux" patisserie

"Aux Merveilleux" is a patisserie in Lille known for its special dessert "le merveilleux". See their website! I personally prefer the white chocolate version called "l'incroyable" made with speculos!

Binic by Foscarini

A shape that you notice with a nice colour palette, I stopped when I passed in front of "Binic" small series of lamps, edited by Foscarini: website here.
Seen at Emotions, interior design and lighting store in Lille.

MOOD shoe-shop

Definitely my favourite shoe-shop: MOOD.
Located rue de la Clef in the Old-Lille, inside a tiny space, I can be sure to find a gorgeous pair of shoes almost anytime... but generally pricy, excellent quality.
For women & men.
Also based in Paris, good to know!
Their website with their strong identity: here

Tiny beautiful library!


Located rue de Gand, 28, "L'espace du dedans" had a selection of artistic hand-made book covers the other day, all very delightful... It's great to walk in the Old Lille, very charming, packed of restaurants, fashion shops, very inspiring, a bit of the Flanders soul you can feel in Lille.

Antwerpen discovery!

I was in Belgium last weekend, went to Brussels & Antwerpen, and I loved Antwerpen very much. It is probably with its specific light, architecture, beauty, traditional aspect revisited into contemporary things; you really feel that aesthetic and design are at the top. Arriving at the incredible train station directly sets you in the mood... Highly recommended to visit!And we went to the open days of the famous Design Academy-Artesis-where I've been amazed by the never-seen high-level of drawing from any course. Studying there is I'm sure the top to develop your personal strengths and respond to the industry needs, which is so often otherwise disconnected... why?Artesis website
