I got into this song little by little. I started to listen to it here and there while driving, or in some café in the evening. I like the multiplicity of voices that speak from the lyrics: we all felt like both ways at least once in our lives. The video, using the complicated pattern of triangles reflects as well the complications, angles and cuts that always end up coming out during relationships, despite the purposes we started with. Gotye defines himself as “not a club guy” that would not know how to consciously create a big pop hit, but He also says to put most of his effort writing the lyrics, and so he’s finding himself glad because of the huge success of the song. I think I like this tune: one of those that pop up on the radio while you’re driving around, that sounds like Sting in the Police Era.

Mi sono appassionata a questo pezzo poco alla volta. Ho iniziato ad ascoltarlo per caso mentre guidavo la macchina, o in qualche caffe’ la sera. Mi piace la molteplicita’ delle voci presenti nel testo: tutti ci siamo trovati in entrambi i punti di vista della canzone almeno una volta nella vita. Anche il video con il pattern di triangoli che ingloba le persone rimanda alla complessita’, ai tagli e agli spigoli che vengono sempre a crearsi nelle relazioni, a dispetto dei nostri propositi di partenza. Gotye si definisce “uno non da club”, che non saprebbe come comporre consciamente una grossa hit pop, ma dice anche di mettere molta energia nella scrittura dei testi, e quindi e’ molto felice che una canzone che non era stata concepita per un grande pubblico abbia raggiunto una tale popolarita’. A me sembra un bel pezzo: di quelli che ascolti in macchina alla radio, molto Sting ai tempi dei Police.

.. Don’t you think so too? Rodarte came out with so many beautiful creations and testimonials lately that everytime they find a way to leave us stunned. Any examples?

..Non lo pensate anche voi? Il brand ha creato dei vestiti cosi’ belli e ha avuto dei testimonial talmente eccezionali ultimamente da lasciarci sempre a bocca aperta. Volete degli esempi?

– White Swan/Black Swan: Kate and Laura Mulleavy created the coreographic ultra-feathered tutus worn by Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in Black Swan. “We began by fixating on the shredded tutus on Degas’ Bronze ballerinas. We were inspired by the idea of metamorphosis, specifically the dichotomy between perfection and decay” – Said Kate and Laura on their inspiration for the movie’s costumes.

– White Swan/Black Swan: Kate and Laura Mulleavy hanno disegnato i coreografici e piumatissimi tutu’ indossati da Natalie Portman e Mila Kunis in Black Swan. ” Abbiamo iniziato a concentrarci sui tutu’ delle ballerine in bronzo di Degas. Ci siamo ispirate dall’idea di metamorfosi, e nello specifico dalla dicotomia tra perfezione e declino” – Hanno detto Kate e Laura a proposito della loro ispirazione per i costumi del film.

– Some famous sisters you might know..: Rodarte has been chosen lately by some of the most stylish Hollywood actresses (like Natalie Portman – that won the Academy Award in a Rodarte plum gown-  and Rooney Mara), and especially the two Fanning sister contributed to grow the charme of the maison (Below, Elle and Dakota in Vogue‘s Best Dressed of 2012 issue both wearing Rodarte at the S/S 2012 show).

– Sorelle famose di cui avrete sentito parlare..: Rodarte e’ stato scelto ultimamente da alcune delle piu’ eleganti attrici di Hollywood (come Natalie Portman – che ha ritirato l’Oscar in Rodarte color prugna- e Rooney Mara), e specialmente le due sorelle Fanning hanno contribuito ad accrescere lo charme della maison (sotto, Elle e Dakota nel Vogue Best Dressed of 2012 issue, entrambe vestite Rodarte alla sfilata S/S 2012).

– The change: Taylor Swift looked as fascinating as never before wearing Rodarte for Vogue US.

– La sorpresa: Taylor Swift e’ diventata affascinante come mai prima d’ora in Rodarte per il servizio di Vogue America.

– Beck and Charlotte Gainsbourg, photographed together for i-D in Rodarte: could you ask for anything more?

– Beck e Charlotte Gainsbourg, fotografati assieme per i-D in Rodarte: si potrebbe volere di piu’?

– The Fra Angelico Collection at LACMA (photos by Autumn De Wilde): dreamy and hieratic at the same time. Classic Art meets research and the prestigious fabrics and embroideries of couture, and dresses look like modern saints’ gowns.

– The Fra Angelico Collection at LACMA (photos by Autumn De Wilde): sognante e allo stesso tempo ieratica. L’arte classica incontra la ricerca e i preziosi tessuti e rifinimenti couture, e i vestiti sembrano gli abiti di santi moderni.

– That Dress: Worn by Elle Fanning to the 2012 Critic’s Choice Awards and by Taylor Swift for Vogue, the Rodarte’s S/S 2012 Iridescent Seafoam Silk Chiffon and Tulle Gown with Sunflower Silk Embroidery is my first #dresscrush this year.. And now that I shared it with you all, I  know I won’t be lonely in this longing anymore.

– Quel vestito: Indossato da Elle Fanning al Critic’s Choice Award 2012 e da Taylor Swift per Vogue, il vestito di Rodarte S/S 2012 color acqua marina in seta di chiffon iridescente e tulle con ricami di girasoli di seta e’ la mia prima #dresscrush di quest’anno.. E ora che l’ho condivisa con tutti voi, so che non saro’ piu’ sola in questo mio desiderio.

I found on xoJane this beautiful photo shoot of Courtney Love’s townhouse in NYC. Not only this is a wonderful house, finely painted and decorated, but I felt kind of emotional looking throught the objects of her own private life. It’s like, do you remember that book, Post Secret? Looking at these photos I had the feeling of taking a sneak peek through someone else’s past and present, at the people that shared places with them, and the simple taste for what’s beautiful, or unexpected, to furnish a house.

Ho trovato su xoJane questo bellissimo servizio di foto della casa newyorkese di Courtney Love. Non solo e’ un posto da sogno, decorato e dipinto con splendido gusto, ma mi sono quasi emozionata nel guardare tra gli oggetti della sua vita privata. E’ un po’ come quel libro, Post Secret. Guardando queste foto ho avuto quella sensazione di quando si da’ un’occhiata di nascosto al passato e al presente di qualcuno, alle persone che hanno condiviso quei posti con loro, e la semplice passione per cio’ che e’ bello, o inaspettato, per arredare una casa.

Above: A Damien Hirst on the wall, a photo of Kurt and Frances Bean, and a needlepoint blanket that reads “I did survive”.

Above, Gretchen Ryan Accident, oil on linen.

Above, Courtney’s collection of vintage cake toppers.. Can you spot which one is from Kurt and Courtney’s wedding?

I’d like to close this post with an image from Post Secret, sometimes these hidden confessions hit you with such a strong unexpected beauty.

Vorrei chiudere il post con un’immagine tratta da Post Secret. A volte queste confessioni segrete ti colpiscono con forza con la loro bellezza inaspettata.

LOVE
