Ever wonder how Charlotte Gainsbourg got that amazing coolness and those incredible looks? Just look at her parents; Serge Gainsbourg (French singer-songwriter, actor and director) and Jane Birkin (English actress, model, singer and film director), who had a 13 year long turbulent relationship. Birkin recollects the beginning of her affair with Gainsbourg, where he first took her to a nightclub, then to a transvestite club and afterwards to the Hilton hotel, where he passed out in a drunken stupor. Gainsbourg married Birkin when she was 21 and he was 40. Birkin left Gainsbourg when pregnant with her third daughter, Lou, by the film director Jacques Doillon, whom she later married. |

Swedish singer, just released a new album - 'Hardships'. Her voice and style have references to Kate Bush, but she is also electro influenced. And she is so adorably stylish! You might have heard her on The Knife's 'Deep Cuts' album, where she was a guest vocalist. She is touring this spring/summer - eg. in John Dee, Oslo on April 15th, and in Vega, Copenhagen on April 16th. |

| Fashion photographer Tim Walker is showing at The Design Museum in London this summer. His pictures are a wonderful mix of fashion and fairytale, with references to childhood and dressing up. Nice use of color, and unique set design. He has contributed to magazines as Vogue, W and Harper‘s Bazaar, and has shot advertising campaigns for clients including Barneys, Comme des Garcons, Gap and Yohji Yamamoto. |

Tim Walker about this photo, which is the one he has been asked the most about: “A lot of people get confused when they see this image. They think it was done by computer, but we actually took pigment powder, mixed it with talc to get the right ice-cream pastel colours, and brushed it into the cats. We were worried about applying the powder, but they were so vain they loved it! I didn’t arrange them. This is just what the cats did.” |

Singer/songwriter from a small town in Ireland. Former lead singer of Moloko. Her image is this street-diva; fashionable, and at the same time very down-to-earth. In her music videos and promotion material she is often wearing the edgiest designer gear, fantastically avant-garde stuff, in everyday situations, that are often humoristic. I love that mix, and how she wears those outfits in a very relaxed way, as if they could as well be tracksuits, and I think that’s what makes her a style icon! She has also been seen wearing great designer outfits on stage. |

“If my film makes one more person miserable, I’ll feel I’ve done my job.” Woody Allen (born Allen Stewart Königsberg on December 1, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York) is a three-time Academy Award-winning American film director, writer, actor, jazz musician, comedian, and playwright. His large amount of work, and intellectual film style, mixed with satire and humor, have made him one of the most respected filmmakers. He writes and directs his movies and has also acted in the majority of them. He is heavily inspired by literature, philosophy, psychology, Judaism, European cinema and New York City, where he was born and has lived his entire life. Woody Allen has always looked the same – kind of goofy, with thick black glasses, a big nose, and uncontrollable hair, wearing tweed jackets or woolen sweaters and shirts – creating a unique image for himself on his looks alone! Also as a movie maker and actor, he has a certain image; he frequently plays a neurotic New Yorker who talks a lot, and a lot of his movies feature at least one character who is a writer, which is often Woody himself. It’s amazing how he has kept this image during more than four decades (his career started in the mid-sixties), and how he has always seemed to fit in the times being. The next work that willl be seen from him, is the staging of a production of Puccini’s “Il Trittico”, a trio of one-act operas. The production is scheduled to open the 2008 - 2009 Opera season in Los Angeles… “I have no idea what I’m doing,” Allen said in a recent statement to the press, “but incompetence has never prevented me from plunging in with enthusiasm.” A young Woody Allen: |

She works with feeling rather than technique – she uses intuition and prefers a minimum of equipment. Dreamy, feminine fashion photographies are her trademark, and she is excellent at conveying emotions and atmosphere, like it comes naturally to her. Which is why we love her so much, and what she does for us! - “I love when I’m allowed to create universes, and fahion photography gives me great opportunity to do that. I do not work for fashion – for me the product is secondary, in the way that I don’t care if I photograph Prada or second hand, as long as the product is photogenic. It is about making the whole picture work. Like playing with Barbie or a doll house, I have always loved to decorate, draw, and organize.” - ”I move around with my camera and try not to settle too much on for example specific poses or light. One of my favourite pictures is one that I shot for Stella Nova, where the model accidentally sneezes. I just pressed the button at the right moment! It turned out a quite powerful and non-fashion-like picture, and luckily my client was brave enough to use it as their campaign image!” |

That photo is one of our favourites too! Signe Vilstrup also took the photos for our Autumn/Winter 08 collection, that you can see in ADS. |

“The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.” A strong personality in a small woman, a charismatic, mysterious old Baroness - this is what I feel she was! I don’t really know how old she is in this picture (she died in 1962, 77 years old), but what great style and confidence! She was once asked, what her advice to young girls and women would be, and she answered; “Practice your courage every day!” A short introduction; she was a Danish author also known under her pen name Isak Dinesen. She is best known for Out of Africa, about her years of living in Kenya, and one of her stories, Babette’s Feast, both of which have been made into movies. Her life story is kind of rough. Her father hanged himself when she was nine, she was in a bad marriage with a man who cheated on her almost from day one. After their divorce she started a relationship with the love of her life, Denys Finch Hatton, but he died in a plane crash a few years later. It is a sad story, but I’m sure that’s part of what made her who she was! I think the experience can be read in her face. |

Our adorable model for the Autumn/Winter 08 campaign – see the photos in ADS. She is Hungarian, born in Slovakia, and now lives in New York. She has done shows and campaigns for names such as Missoni and Alexander McQueen, and editorials for Vogue Paris and Italia, among many others. The contrast of her dark hair, fair skin, and blue eyes is just beautiful, and she is such a sweet girl! |
