As an arts& fashion journalist I'm trying to stay curious about everything that matters

[La Mode Unknown @LaModeUnknown]

Let’s explore the intriguing bond between ✨Jean Paul Gaultier and Martin Margiela✨ with me — a thread 🧵 (inc. video of Martin walking the runway)

The Mentor and the Protégé:

Jean Paul Gaultier, known for his avant-garde and sometimes irreverent designs, recognized a kindred spirit in Martin Margiela when the latter joined his studio in the early 1980s.

Margiela, fresh from graduating from Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts, found in Gaultier not just a mentor, but a creative catalyst. Gaultier's willingness to challenge fashion norms resonated with Margiela, who was destined to become a revolutionary force in the industry.

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

“Francois Rabelais invented a number of neologisms […] one of his words has been forgotten and this is regrettable. It is the word ‘agelaste’; it comes from Greek and it means a man who has no sense of humor.”

[…] Irini Karayannopoulou’s images resemble allegories or myths - or, in fact, dreams. A dense layering, awash with visual metaphors and symbols that function with the autonomy the artist grants them as tokens of her peculiar rebellion against gender and identity stereo­types.
