a visual collective outlet of inspiration
jsbj self publish fanzine-like books of photographers. it’s so nice and powerful that it’s making me feel bad about not doing this kind of things. of course everything is out of print so forget about owning a print but i will be on the starting block for the next one. moving! by pp

diptyque – still in love!
after proudly sporting diptyque’s for about ten years i wanted a changes and went unfaithfully to every other perfumers in paris to get an idea on what to switch for. my nose went to numerous more or less pleasant smells, people were really nice and the all experience was pretty glamorous but nothing rocked my world and i eventually went back to diptyque! i know it’s a bit mainstream nowadays and kind of obvious but they’re my guys!
ps: do you fellows know the name ditptyque comes from the fact their original store on boulevard saint germain is a corner and offers two large windows that the founders interpreted as… a diptyque! by pp’
viviane sassen – sol&luna
i remember the work of photographer viviane sassen in some magazines years ago.
and now there is this book “sol&luna;”, assignment from our legacy and libraryman co.
it’s described as:
“a specially made and well-built series of imagery with androgyny and beauty as the key principle”
just so nice! by pp
tintin and milo figurines: i mean who wouldn’t want this?
ok for all you tin tin and milo, old-school-ers looking for a perfect gift for that favorite niece of yours, here it is. it can be hard to find these guys in the united states but i finally did (sold here), and got the missing pieces for my favorite girls, made the girls and their daddy super happy… (also check here). by dd
yves behar for intersection
ok, while we’re in the car post business, the intersection website preview an article of its latest issue about yves behar’s electric car study, worth checking it! by pp’
starck+intersection magazine
saw the starck+intersection mag concept car in the window of colette last night. that is a really nice piece actually. maybe starck should stick to this kind of project since not far away from there is another one of his production, the hotel meurice and believe me, the soap car is definitely on top! by pp’
jane march where are you?
anybody seen jane march lately? by pp’
RICHARDSON MAGAZINE IS BACK!
no, this magazine is not from the richardson you think it is, that being said that’s true there is some similarities and the main richardson used to shoot a lot for this publication but the man behind this magazine is andrew richardson. dodgy man himself but none the less one of the best stylist in the industry. the issue number 4 is out, something like five years after the third one. welcome back naughty one! by pp’
apc journal – singapore store
apc is presenting it’s own blog for a couple of weeks now. they posted a pics of their new store in singapore… pretty cool store isn’t it? very colonial in the aesthetic, love it! this blog was elaborate with ezra petronio and its actually based on the exact same template as the selfservice blog which oddly disappeared . but enough bitching, we will follow this one for sure! by pp’
jerszy seymour – design workshop
just saw one of those chairs by designer jerszy seymour at palais de tokyo. as you might guess the designer is living in berlin and even if this kind of work is not really my cup of tea, i though it was really really interesting! maybe design is getting less consensual after all or maybe people living in berlin are just so out of an hardcore capitalist reality that they are catching a glimpse of truth. by pp’
warhol – all time fav’
few posts ago, i was talking about mr lichtenstein and how i was mostly attracted to the more confidential work of his (if we can say so). so i have the same feelings for andy’s, the first works, the ones that are not re-printed on bags, socks, umbrellas and so on, still feel really fresh. love when it’s not to produced. i won’t do a third post but i feel the same for the beatles… by pp’
