Merci x Gap
September 9, 2009
Wednesday September 9th 2009 – Gap store at 54th street – New York City
Gap has a new trick up its sleeve this fall. The trusty purveyor of blue jeans and khaki pants has teamed up with Merci, a chic, Parisian lifestyle boutique, to open a pop-up shop in New York City, called Merci Gap. For one month only, Merci Gap will occupy the 500-square foot space next to Gap’s flagship store on 5th Avenue.
The original Merci is the brainchild of Marie-France and Bernard Cohen, the founders of Bonpoint (a children’s clothing company they sold in 2003, giving them seed money for Merci). Merci is a “concept shop” stocked with unusual housewares, fashions, perfumes and even fresh flowers. All the proceeds from the shop benefit Accueil des Sans-abri, a non-profit that helps Madagascar’s homeless. (All profits from Merci Gap will go to various children’s charities).

J.M. Weston Humeurs Exhibit or how to combine tradition and modernity
June 1, 2009
Kris Van Assche's dream shoes by J.M Weston
Humeurs Exhibition – Wednesday, May 13th 6pm – The Flag Art Foundation
I use to walk by the Avenue Victor Hugo J.M Weston store in Paris to go to school. Even at a early age the shoe maker was through my eyes the ultimate luxury shoe maker.
J.M Weston is for the shoes what the Rolls is for the cars, what the Hermes Birkin is for the bags.
I can imagine the excitement that Frank Gehry, Martin Szekely, Kris Van Assche, Clemence Krzentowsky, and Michel Perry have had when they’ve been asked to create the shoes of their dream.
It reminds me of the Louis Vuitton logo 100th anniversary celebration. Seven designers have been asked by Louis Vuitton to create new objects with the monogram canvas. Azzedine Alaïa, Manolo Blahnik, Helmut Lang, Isaac Mizrahi, Romeo Gigli, Vivienne Westwood, and Sybilla all created limited edition pieces.
What more desirable than having a carte blanche to design a pair of shoes with no limitation of skin choices, shape, decorations.
Frank Gehry the man who defined architecture in the 20th century, Martin Szekely multi-facette artist, Kris Van Assche Dior Homme designer, Clemence Krzentowsky and Michel Perry known for his pleated leather shoes, had the honor to unveil what their dream shoes would be and let the J.M. Weston artisans transformed the dream to reality.
In addition J.M Weston asked five photographers to stage these special orders. The result is the marriage of Claudine Doury, Harry Gruyaert, Karen Knorr, Martin Parr and Lise Sarfati photographers’s univers with the five designers.
A question came to my mind when I left the exhibition.
How to combine tradition, Art and modernity?
The J.M Weston Humeurs Exhibition is the answer.

We bumped onto Tyson Beckford and his lovely fiance Shanina Shaik that we met in frebruary at the Victoria Secret What is Sexy Party. Tyson confessed to us his weakness when it comes to J.M. Weston shoes.
All seven styles in the collection are on display in the J.M. Weston store in New York and available for special order through the end of the year, for $2,300 to $3,400.
