This is not misplaced nationalism, I love that girl, that's all. Far images of girls from the East or Californian girls who always look the same and that ultimately does resemble nothing (personally, I start curling overdose and I do not agree with them), and a pretty girl , sparkling, full of charm, nature.
And that annoys me all those people who criticise. I heard it far more stupid. Admittedly, it is not highly sentences punished but it is the first to admit: she left school aged 15 and lack of vocabulary. And then, if it was so stupid as that, would she have made the same career? I do not know many of the models stop to have successfully completed their conversion.

All that to tell you about the Miu Miu campaign in which she appeared last season in true pin-up. I love it! Much more successful than the current campaign in which we are shown a Kirsten Dunst fadasse well ...

Duration: 2h53mn

This fresco gay pink and red coco, colourful color hippies, is proving to be a model of cinema committed combattif and charges, until his undeniable candor.

The argument: 1968. Catherine, Yves and Hervé some twenty years, are students in Paris and love. The revolt of May disrupts their lives. Won by the Utopia community, they start out with some friends move to a farm abandoned Lot. The requirement of liberty and the pursuit of individual achievement lead them to make choices that ultimately separate them. 1989. The children of Catherine and Yves enter adulthood and face a world that has profoundly changed between the end of Communism and the explosion of the AIDS epidemic, the militant legacy of the previous generation must be revisited.

Our opinion: Born in 68 is a little engaging at first sight. The presence of Laetitia Casta in mind casting (always bad omen for the future for a film), displays appalling itself in the laid without reflect the pleasant cool footage; hours a priori 2h53mn who laboured to finally pass a two-stroke three movements through the many vicissitudes of a family on atypical forty years, would almost a film foil. But it is not. Born in 68 is a saving.
It commits us in a political reflection through a subjective view that transgresses historic populism and fragmentation of contemporary political correctness to put the clocks an hour. She proposes that we follow the evolution of our company since May 68 (the sexual revolution, the legalization of abortion, life hippie community, the sag of the Communist thought, the advent of Mitterrand, the bloodshed homosexual years of AIDS, PACS, victory at the polls of ultra-liberalism of Sarkozy...). A work undertaken therefore that is not without a little story particularly strong. This is one of a group of youths who spend trotskystes barricades on May 68 at libertinage pastoral before knowing the disintegration. The scenario focuses on children born pending the roaring twenties, who, between liberation and alienation, live all the upheavals post 81.
The spring drama around the character atypical Laetitia Casta, matriarch hippie unique, brilliantly interpreted by the former model - which ironically accentuates its positions left when another great name of fashion goes now droitière - are exciting, on three hours. They would take the route of emotion intelligent, flirt, of course, with melodrama but for better return to basics fun film, namely present strong characters, both funny and touching, led by personal feelings that communicate with 'Universal and speak to our breaks. The directors Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau questioned them on the descent, the legitimacy of the family they are redefining anyway, and the evolution of social thought from adolescence to adulthood which is that of personal achievement.
In a spirit of consistency with their artistic manifesto filmography past, the two filmmakers synthesize all the qualities of their previous cinematic portraits, with a freshness and a natural confusing. Interpretation of choice that improves over the plot through the precious makeup, never ridiculous; rural setting filmed in full freedom, without the constraint of technical excellence (here sometimes verges on the train-train of a film produced television ); Your independent always avoids vulgarity to focus on the authenticity of soul characters.. It is found in Born in 68 vagabond spirit of the beautiful Virginie Ledoyen in Jeanne and the boy formidable and Sami Bouajila in Funny Felix. Both authors deploy the same willingness to give flesh to the youth dreams of a Community company, freed from the yoke of hypocrisy and taboos so moved that they become killers.
And while today some high-placed political tend to demolish the cult of May 68, helped by the ambient cynicism and weariness permanent the individual, who revire on itself as if to resign from its social responsibilities, our two happy lurons of Ducastel and Martineau leave at the end the ghosts of the past survive and filming a youth struggling as to better outline the hope of a revival. That of a new revolution? The do they want themselves? Whatever, basically lies in the emotional impact of their commitment, always worthy and commendable, and he deserves to arouse emotions and thoughts on an equal level, which is great.

Born in 68
A long saga that stretches from 1968 to the election of Nicolas Sarkozy in May 2007. The story of Catherine, and Yves Herve, three Parisian students who are doing their "revolution" in May 68. Dreamers and utopians, they leave with their friends build a community in an abandoned farm Lot. The free love, drugs, guitar, flowers, the campaign ... everything is there. Gradually, some leave while children are born. Children who will face a society where AIDS, capitalism and unemployment have replaced the "flower power". In the role of Catherine, Laetitia Casta is very convincing. But ultimately, this film, plus historical romance, is sealed by a few lengths. 3 hours to tell the life of a gang of youths who wanted to simply change the world after the events of 68 is too many.
From Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau. With Laetitia Casta, Yannick Renier. Running time: 2 hours 53.

Duration: 2:50
Link Official: www.pyramidefilms.com / pyramide.html
Between 1968 and today, forty years of our political history and social views through the destinies of several young people and their muse Catherine. A young girl who, in the shadow of barricades, discovers freedom, love and try his entire life to live in accordance with his convictions and libertarian community. Four decades that AIDS will hit the full brunt of the advances in sexual liberation, women out of their matriarchal status and the victory of a liberal economy indiscriminate and indifferent to the plight of individuals. A fresco feuilletonesque as generous as possible, sometimes missing blast to keep the distance (nearly three hours) but whose emerging humanism and a spirit at once joyous and melancholy.


BORN IN 68
If you like chronic committed
Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau, with Laetitia Casta, Yannick Renier, Yann Trégouët. France. 2:53. Comedy drama.

We are in May 1968. Students evade the truncheons of the Gaullist repression. Catherine, Yves and Hervé some twenty years, full of illusions. Born in 68 invites us to follow this trio of friends-lovers to see how the ideals that were to change society overcome the test of time.
Inevitably, forty years, it does not drain within ten minutes of film… Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau (Jeanne and the boy formidable, crustaceans and shellfish) presented their epic-river in the form of tables thematic n'échappant unfortunately not all clichés. Everything is there: the community at a farm in the Lot, fumettes and guitars, flower power, the van and 2 CV, sex (very) free, goat cheese, the anti-abortion law, the homosexuality, the temptation of violence, the left in power, AIDS, the right to power, the extreme right in the second round… The insouciance before maturity. Laughter before the tears. "But what has been done that has not functioned at this point? "Asks one of the protagonists, culpabilisé by the turn taken by events.
It may feel perplexed by the accumulation of interest destiny really uneven, fed by an overdose of characters (young people become parents and then grandparents). But it is in its second part that the film finds its relevance and emotion that finally point the tip of his nose, when disenchantment drills in the eyes of future generations. In any case, a disgraceful experience not adding to the filmography of a Laetitia Casta (photo-cons) who knows definitely be surprising.

French designer Yves Saint Laurent is dead: foundation

PARIS (AFP)
lYves Saint Laurent, pictured in 2002, one of the top French designers of the 20th century, died Sunday evening in Paris, the Pierre-Bergé-Saint Laurent Foundation said.
lYves Saint Laurent, pictured in 2002, one of the top French designers of the 20th century, died Sunday evening in Paris, the Pierre-Bergé-Saint Laurent Foundation said.

Yves Saint Laurent, one the top French designers of the 20th century, died Sunday evening in Paris, a source in the fashion icon's foundation said.

"Yves Saint Laurent died Sunday at 11:10 pm," the source in the Pierre-Berge-Saint Laurent Foundation told AFP.

The reclusive French maestro, who had retired from haute couture in 2002 after four decades at the top of his trade, had been ill for some time.

During his farewell appearance seven years ago, Saint Laurent had told reporters he had "always given the highest importance of all to respect for this craft, which is not exactly an art, but which needs an artist to exist."

One of a handful of designers who dominated 20th century fashion -- on a par with Christian Dior, Coco Chanel and Paul Poiret -- Yves Henri Donat Mathieu Saint Laurent was born in the coastal town of Oran, Algeria, on August 1, 1936, at a time when the North African country was still considered part of France.

A shy, lonely, child, he became fascinated by clothes, and already had a solid portfolio of sketches when he first arrived in Paris in 1953, aged 17.

Yves Saint Laurent, pictured in 1977, who died Sunday aged 71, was one of a handful of designers who dominated 20th century fashion, on a par with Christian Dior, Coco Chanel and Paul Poiret.

Vogue editor Michel de Brunoff, who was to become a key supporter, was quickly won over, and published them.

The following year Saint Laurent won three of the four categories in a design competition in Paris -- the fourth went to his contemporary Karl Lagerfeld, now at Chanel.

Discerning the young man's potential, de Brunoff advised Christian Dior to hire him and he rapidly emerged as heir apparent to the great couturier, taking over the house when Dior died suddenly three years later.

Saint Laurent would say of his mentor: "Dior fascinated me. I couldn't speak in front of him. He taught me the basis of my art. Whatever was to happen next, I never forgot the years spent at his side."

However in 1960, like many Frenchmen of his age, Saint Laurent was called up to fight in his native Algeria, where an independence war was under way.

Less than three weeks later he won an exemption on health grounds, but when he returned to Paris it was to learn that Dior had already found a replacement for him, in the person of Marc Bohan.

With his close associate and lover Pierre Berge, Saint Laurent resolved to strike out on his own, with Berge taking care of the business side.

Saint Laurent's success lay in the harmony he achieved between body and garment -- what he called "the total silence of clothing."

He was also in the right place at the right time. Having learned his trade at the house of Dior, he founded his own couture house at the start of the 1960s, at a time when the world was changing and there was a new appetite for originality.

Saint Laurent rode his luck through the rise of the youth market and pop culture fuelled by the economic boom of the 1960s, when women suddenly had more economic freedom.

His name and the familiar YSL logo became synonymous with all the latest trends, highlighted by the creation of the Rive Gauche ready-to-wear label and perfume, as well as astute licensing deals for accessories and perfumes.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he set the pace for fashion around the world, opening up the Japanese market and subsequently expanding to South Korea and Taiwan.

Among his many fans in his native France was the actress Catherine Deneuve, who was always to be seen at his shows.

Berge, speaking Sunday on France's LCI television, called Saint Laurent a fashion revolutionary.

"He knew perfectly well that he had revolutionised haute couture, the important place he occupied in the second half of the 20th century," he said.

But Saint Laurent's career was not without controversy. In 1971 a collection modelled on the styles of World War II Paris was slammed by some American critics, and his launch in the mid 1970s of a perfume called "Opium" brought accusations that he was condoning drug use.

For fellow-designer Christian Lacroix, the reason for Saint Laurent's success was his astonishing versatility. There had, Lacroix said, been other great designers but none with the same range.

Yves Saint Laurent, one the top French designers of the 20th century, died Sunday evening in Paris, a source in the fashion icon's foundation said.

"Chanel, Schiaparelli, Balenciaga and Dior all did extraordinary things. But they worked within a particular style," he explained. "Yves Saint Laurent is much more versatile, like a combination of all of them. I sometimes think he's got the form of Chanel with the opulence of Dior and the wit of Schiaparelli."

In his later years the depression that had haunted him all his life became more oppressive, and at his farewell bash in 2002 Saint Laurent admitted to having recourse to "those false friends which are tranquillisers and narcotics."

Quotable quotes from Yves Saint Laurent:

"You have to regard every fashion with humour, to be above it, believe in it enough to give the impression of living it but not too much, so that you keep your freedom."

"The elegance of a line depends above all on the purity and refinement of its construction."

"Black is my refuge, it is a line on a blank sheet of paper."

"The silhouette counts more than anything. It should never be overloaded."

"I found my style through women. That's where its strength and vitality comes from, because I draw on the body of a woman."

"A woman who has not found her style, who does not feel at ease in her clothes, who does not live in harmony with them, is a sick woman."

"To be beautiful, all a woman needs is a black pullover and a black skirt and to be arm in arm with a man she loves."

"Is elegance not totally forgetting what one is wearing?"

I have nothing against Noémie Lenoir, I find it really very nice but it should not be talking about it, it breaks a little while. I find it quite vulgar and his phrasing would be a shame to caillera La Courneuve is not very elegant. I do not support people vulgar, let alone when they are women .. And then I remember one of his statements in a show of Ruquier where she said she would never come out with a white, which I was rather shocked ...

Examples include Phil Collins, Sting, Ricky Martin, Seal, Justin Timberlake, Will I Am or the Spice Girls. Like any big American show, it is broadcast on the CBS television channel and can also watch it on Paris Premiere in France. Obviously, in puritan America, some voices were raised as the American Decency Association (American Association for decency). The feminist associations have also expressed accusing the mark Victoria's Secret "soft pornography" in its advertising campaigns. But that's not all, the catalogue paper has also been pointed to by associations for the protection of the environment which accuse the company does not use recycled paper and thus, contribute to deforestation. But Americans are the Americans and the online site http://www.victoriassecret.com/, you can admire the collections of clothes and sexy lingerie whose prices are very affordable and accessories, jerseys bathrobes, sweaters, pants, shorts, T-shirts, etc..

Archives: sensual Laetitia

Thank you for your comments on my note yesterday, your enthusiasm confirms my desire to show you other series mode that marked me.

That today has nothing to do. Based on Vogue Paris, she is much more recent (2004?), But I find it in the air time: everything bleached denim, this is exactly what I want to wear this time. And this gently wavy hair, stack is what I dream for six months (double click to enlarge images)!
vogue_casta_richardson1.jpg

I love also the ironic side of this series: while Terry Richardson is known for his photos usually openly sexual on this shooting, the idea is to play the paparazzi, in other words to keep at a distance. This gives rise to a false constraint magnetism enjôleur: In the face of the bomb Casta, one is very happy to play the voyeurs who mitraillent.

Minijupe, microshorts and t-shirts make perfectly fitting its forms in value. Again, the issue of changing patterns arise between us, how many models today could hold such a role outside Gisele? Small new display rarely such sensuality.

Finally, I like the naturalness of these photos. Of course Laetitia knows she is taking a photo, but we want to believe it does not really. Likewise we have doubt that the clothes selected by Emmanuelle Alt owe nothing to chance, but it seems that we too can be well don shorts and a mariner for our next Paris-New York. First.

Photo Archives, La Presse

"When I want someone is sincere, whole, shown, said. It is very pleasant and stimulating. Some phases where I am not desiring there a. But I know that it renews itself naturally. I am not trying to be a kind of image, always a seduction. I prefer letting me wear my feelings, my emotions, my statements. Moving from the desire waiting, thinking curiosity. Do not force things ... "

Laetitia Casta, beautiful scene

Theatre. She plays a woman abandoned alongside Bruno Todeschini in "She is waiting for you", the piece de Florian Zeller. Meeting with an actress who did not play it.
Reports

Sanglée in a silky dress that sweeps its thin ankles and small flat shoes, she arrives radiant - motorcycle-taxi - the Theatre de la Madeleine. It occupies the same dressing room as Jeanne Moreau who triumphed three months ago in "Quartet" of Heiner Müller. The comparison makes her afraid, but at 30 years she did everything to deserve the compliment. Laetitia is a studious young woman. The text of "She is waiting for you", the piece de Florian Zeller it will play from September 9, is smeared notes, scribbles. On stage, a terrace overlooking the sea is thought to "Contempt" Godard and is believed to guess the Gulf of Bonifacio. During rehearsals, laughter rain. Between the actors, no competition or unsaid. They feel happy to be together, almost reluctant to leave penetrate a journalist to whom we must show the first words of a document previously announced as the event of the season.

an interview with Marie Affortit

Paris Match. "She is waiting for you" is going to Corsica. Is it counted in your choice, you're a native of Lumio?
Laetitia Casta. No, not really. The history and I enjoyed my island origins are not guided my decision. Florian Zeller had written his play well before our meeting, without thinking about me. What counted was the presence of the sun, the sea .. Something very sensual.

After Giraudoux, you explore the chasms of love. Would you love to inspire such heroines so passionate?
It would be inaccurate to me purely a lover ... I believe in the pursuit of vitality, energy, and physical joy. As Anna, I explore thousands of ways. But this character is not only a love. There is also something very dark and very violent in it. This is often the dark side of my people ...

Have you, like Anna, experienced the turmoil of waiting, as a man?
The play will speak for me. It is a scene that I give things to me. That is what is exciting for an actress: through a character, we can deliver much. But honestly, I'm different from Anna, and my personal life does not resemble her own.

Why have you waited four years before climbing back onstage?
"Ondine" was a revelation to me totally submerged. Before you can reinvest me with as much energy, I had to make bereavement. "She is waiting for you", with all its magnitude, and m'emporte me want to throw me again in a vacuum.

Is it more daring to slip into a contemporary setting?
With "She is waiting for you," I saw a second shot at heart. At no time, I have sought a contemporary text to prove that I could vary registers. I do not compute. "She is waiting for you" was presented, the instinct has played, it was very hard, and I am confident.

Florian Zeller it is also convincing in the way you save a scene that Jacques Weber, who guided your first steps on stage?
They are not comparable and I did not want to find a new Weber. For his physical, Jacques takes places, eating the walls, devours the scenery, the boards. It made me make a monumental leap and I dived under his benevolent protection. He became my father theatre, he knows. With Florian is a different order. What I like in him is that it allows me to enter another dimension, more intellectual, to go far in reflecting on the scene. Physically, I m'arrange with space, under his leadership. He is the boss. Our relationship is fine. I had a father, he is like my brother. It was the same age, is joined on the same path.

Have you taken over comedy?
I would have liked, but I have attended no school of its kind. I learned things along the world and making meetings. And it allowed me to immerse myself in a universe, while staying myself.

What actress are you? Speaker, obedient, in the balance of power or trust with the director?
There is obedience to me, but also a side horse crazy. Here, everything goes smoothly and without conflict. I work my character, we do know. Then, I present to me based on the vision of the director. Before proposing, I try things, if my approach would be meaningless.

Did he masochistic not to leave one career top model adulée to the scene might be judged harshly?
I do not fit on stage to take blows on the head. Far be it from me suffering! It's more a question of desire, realization of my dreams beyond the judgement of others. That's stronger than me, I have this taste of freedom exacerbated. The real risk is not to live my desires.

Are you sensitive to criticism?
Inspiring comments, I am accustomed for ages. Do not cause would be more boring. But it is the public who decides and who gives me the niaque.

The seduction is it an engine for you?
I think very few attractive people who seek to seduce permanently. It does not interest me. And it would be too dangerous to live in the meantime, in the eyes of others, there is nothing more exhausting.

Be honest, you know that for you, it's easier?
Often, we try to make me responsible for my image. I leave to others the task of managing their fantasies, their eyes or their curiosity. They see what they want to see.


Kids, go to the theatre?
No, never, my parents were short of time. They were young, working enormously. I grew up in Normandy, I spent my days in the campaign, in the forest. My education was more bucolic an academic. Let's say I was a little girl very spoiled by nature.

Play theatre is first rehearsals and then, each evening the scene. Family life is not too chamboulée?
During one month, rehearsals me intensely engaged. From September 9, regular schedules me make life easier. I have a daily appointment night ...

The film seems less you. How do you explain?
Someone told me that every day I added a pearl necklace for my preparation for my future in film. It is true, I think that is what I am trying to build. Gradually. With humility. Obviously, I want to find my audience on the screen. But today, I try to do things for which I really burns ... And it is the theatre, in particular, that I can live it. In cinema, I believe that the choices I made previously were not zero. I worked with people that I really admire ... But perhaps that for the moment, I am not fashionable ...

On the evening of the first, who will play for you?
For Anna, my character ... For all Anna! I want so much transcend me on stage. This is not for the others that I play, nor for the people I love. I play for me. If my family or my friends come, I will be affected, but at no time did I seek their support.

Not to mention your lovely physical, do you consider to be spoiled by life?
Reparlons out in twenty years, I've had time to take stock.

Ralph Lauren to launch £2,000 ($3,540.00)women’s perfume

03-Sep-08

Ralph Lauren is launching a “super premium” perfume that will cost £2,000 a bottle. Love, which will be launched in Harrods in October, comes in a gold-plated bottle.

The fragrance is aimed at women aged 25 years old and over with “high spending powers”.

Antny Rankin, senior marketing and product manager at Ralph Lauren, says Love is the brand’s most exclusive fragrance will have “a more engaging marketing strategy than a blanket media campaign” to support its launch.

The super-premium launch comes despite increased pressure on consumer spen­ding in the UK, which has led to a downturn in retail sales this year and persuaded many brands towards discount strategies.

Ralph Lauren is also bringing its Notorious fragrance, which was launched in the US over the summer, to the UK. Rankin says that the company is increasing its media spend by 150% to launch both brands. It has spent just £436,000 on its Romance perfume over the past year (Nielsen).

It says it has developed “an innovative media strategy” for Notorious including infusing the November issue of Marie Claire with the fragrance. It is also launching a red button campaign with ITV which will allow interactive viewers to order samples and find out more information about the fragrance.

The brand will be supported by a print and TV campaign starring French model Laetitia Casta.
Notorious will be available nationwide at Boots, Harrods, Selfridges and Debenhams.

It is hoped that the two launches will account for 60% of sales during the Christmas period.
