Marché!


Ne morate ni da pitate, naravno da uvek prvo izguglam gde i kada su buvlje pijace. Subota prepodne, šetam se bulevarom Hausmann u potrazi za mirisom vintaža. Bezuspešno. Odlučujem da se utešim jednim window shoppingom u obližnjem Printempsu i Galeries Lafayette. Gledam, balavim i skoro pobožno pipam Céline, Ricka Owensa, Balenciagu, ostajem koji minut da meditiram u Prada hramu, pred svom tom divotom. Pa još Margiela dame, u belim mantilima. Možda sam se utešila, ali pijaca je pijaca, ipak sam ja bon marché devojka.

Francuzi su majstori casual chica. Gospodin bela raskopčana košulja, dobar džins i New Balansice poprilične kilometraže mi kaže da su ’to sve s**t markets, da je jedna, jedina i prava flea market Porte de Clignancourt’. Kaže radi ceo vikend. Još nije (pre)kasno, Milana i ja žurimo, do poslednje stanice metroa. Porte de Clignacourt je imigrantska četvrt, na obodu Pariza i u početku mi je malo neprijatno, ali to više ima veze sa mojim predrasudama, nego sa realnim stanjem stvari. U Paizu ništa nije jeftino, pa ni buvlje pijace.  Tip-top sređene Francuskinje u poodmaklim, da ne kažem Advanced style godinama, skupo prodaju svoje vintaž kolekcije. I pored toga što na Porte de Clignancourt dvocifreno možete pazariti jedino plastične đinđuve kakve svake subote viđam na Najlonu, ipak je doživljaj koji ne treba propustiti. U to ime, jedan photo spam :)

p.s. Ne zaboravite na giveaway iz prošlog posta, i dalje imate šanse da osvojite savršenu Prodigy Red haljinicu!

You don’t even have to ask, I always do my homework and google when and where are the best flea markets. It’s Saturday morning and I’m walking Boulevard Hausmann in a search of a genuine scent of vintage. Without success. I decide to comfort myself by (unfortunately, only window) shopping therapy at Printempsu and Galeries Lafayett. I drool over and almost religiously touch all the masterpieces - Céline, Ricka Owensa, Balenciagu, I take a moment to meditate in Prada temple, overwhelmed by all the beauty. Oh, and add Margiela ladies, so perfect in their white coats. I might have comforted myself for a short bit, but my heart’s not it in, I’m a bon marché girl, after all.  

French truly are the masters of casual chic. Mr. white shirt perfectly unbuttoned, jeans and New Balances told me that ’all those are shi**y markets, that the one and only flea market is the one at Porte de Clignancourt’. He says it’s open all the weekend. It’s still not too late, Milana and I ride Ligne 4 till the last station. Porte de Clignacourt is mostly immigrant neighbourhood at the outskirts of Paris and I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but it has to do more with my prejudices, than with reality. There is nothing cheap about Paris, not even flea markets. Finely aged French ladies, dresses to the nines, as if they belong at Advanced style, are surely not selling their vintage jewels under price. Besides the fact that the only thing you can buy under three figures are some plastic beads I see every Saturday on Nylon flea market, Porte de Clignacourt is not to be missed. With so much to experience, photo spam was inevitable, sorry :)

p.s. Don’t forget about the giveaway I’m hosting, you still have a chance to win this amazing Prodigy Red dress!

Tokyo, Paris


Ne možete da je vidite. Mislim, možete da primite vizuelnu informaciju o njenom postojanju, obliku i bojama, ali Mona Lizu svakako nije moguće videti, osim ako se zavodoljavate letimičnim pogledom kroz gužvu dostojnu U2 koncerta. Nije mi prvi put u Parizu, ali jeste u Luvru. I ko god vam kaže da ne idete u Luvr ako idete na manje od nedelju dana u Pariz, potpuno je u pravu. Impozantan, kako u svojoj postavci i veličini, tako i u dužini reda ispred ulaza, ipak je znamenitost koja se ne sme zaobići. Mona Liza možda ne pruža vreme i mesto za kontemplaciju, ali zato možete zastati  i uživati ispred mnoštva drugih Leonardovih dela. Moj plan za taj dan bila je lagana šetnja od renesanse, preko baroka do flamanskog slikarstva, ali moram priznati da su najveći utisak ostavila romantičarska platna Delacroixa i Gerricaulta - velike dimenzije i velike emocije pred kojima naprosto ne možete ostati ravnodušni. Pa onda sabiranje utisaka ispred, u Tuileries vrtu, uz šampanjac, trešnje, jagode i prijatelje. 

 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 You can’t see it. I mean, you can perceive it, get information on its very existance, shape and colour, but Mona Lisa is impossible to be seen, unless you are ready to settle for an accidental glance through a U2 concert-worthy crowd. This is not my first Paris trip, but it’s the first time I have enough time to visit Louvre. Whoever said you need to stay in Paris for at least a week to visit Louvre, was more than right. Impressive both when it comes to the gems in its collection and rows in front of the entrance, its definitely something you should not miss when in Paris. Mona Lisa might not give you a chance to stop and contemplate, but there’s plenty of other spots to take your moment and enjoy. Smooth walk from Renaissance and Baroque to Flemish painting was plan for the day, but Romanticists surely left the  strongest impression. The heroes of Romantism, Delacroix and Gerricault, big both on emotions and canvas size, is simply something that cannot leave you indifferent. A perfect way to finish your visit is time spent in Tuileries, with champagne, strawberries, cherries and, of course – old friends. 



Palais de Tokyo nije jedan od onih belih muzejskih prostora, koji se izvinjavaju i sklanjaju pred veličinom izloženih dela, već ravnopravan učesnik u dijalogu s njima. Izgrađen za svetsku izložbu 1937. godine, ovaj muzej savremene umetnosti skrivao je svoje čari skoro tri decenije, da bi novi život dobio posle rekonstrukcije završene u aprilu ove godine. Arhitekti Lacaton & Vassal prostor namerno ostavljaju nezavršen, nedorečen, kao da pozivaju umetnike na interakciju, brišući jasne granice između umetničkog dela i arhitekture. Brutalistički lep u svojoj sirovosti, skoro ranjivosti otkrivenog, mesto je na koje ću se sigurno vraćati. U to ime, treba obavezno popiti jedan  rosé na terasi Palais de Tokyo, s diskretnim, nikako previše turističkim pogledom na Ajfelov toranj.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 Palais de Tokyo is not one of those overwhelming white exibition spaces, that have this almost apologetic relation to the art they contain, but an equal participant in the dialogue. Build in 1937 for the International Exibition of Arts and Technology, this contemporary arts museum hid its gems for almost three decades, until it was reopened in April 2012, after an overhaul by French architects Lacaton & Vassal. Their intention to leave the interior with the feel of unfinished works fine in function of inviting artists to interact with it, dissolving the strict boundaries between art and architecture. Beautiful in its raw brutalism and vulnerable because of what it shows what is usually hidden, surely is a place I will keep coming back. And I drink (rosé) to that, on a perfect terrace of Palais de Tokyo, with a subtle view over Eiffel tower.

Crescent


Jedna reč - pogled. Na ceo grad, na park, na reku, na nebo. Volimo Božin novi stan, i pored vertigo šesnaestog sprata. Ili, baš zato. Gospodski prostran lift, u kojem ni ja, ni moja bicikleta na moramo da se guramo i krivimo. Dok smo Ivana i ja uživale u bojama sumraka, društvo unutra nije gubilo vreme - naručile smo samo kafu, a dobile i thai piletinu pride. Novo mesto, stari prijatelji, jedno sjajno veče...

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

One word - the view. Over a city, over a park, a river and the sky. We are in love with Boža's new apartment, besides a sixteenth floor vertigo. Or, because of it. An elevator spacious enough, where neither me nor my bicycle have to cramp and bend. While Ivana et moi were enjoying the rich sunset colors on the roof terrace, our friends inside were surely not wasting time. We opted for a coffee only, but got fabulous a thai chicken bonus. New place, old friends, and one evening to remember...




Prodigy Red zaista me je lepo iznenadio. Mislim, osim ove divne haljine. Digitalno je doba, poslednje što sam očekivala je analogno napisano pisamce, pozdrave od Aerefe sa sajta Prodigy Red. Ipak, najlepše Prodigy Red iznenađenje je - što ništa ne košta preko 15£! 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

A Prodigy Red package was truly a nice surprise. I mean, besides this amazing dress. It's a digital age, after all, the last thing I expected was a little analog letter from Prodigy Red's own Aerefa. Anyway, I believe that the most surprising thing about Prodigy Red is that nothing there costs more than 15£!
