After launching their line for grown-ups in 2009 around a campaign with cool US pop group MGMT, Petit Bateau launch a new musical collaboration with the French neo-folk group Herman Dune. The group has designed an exclusive collection for the brand, based around their latest album Strange Moosic and its iconic blue yeti, which will be on sale from Tue 28 Feb. There’s also a special new track ‘I’ll Be Blue’ for the campaign and included on a deluxe edition of the album. Not the band’s first foray into fashion, last year Herman Dune designed a pair of chinos for Paris rock label April 77.
PS The band will perform live next Sat 3 Mar in Petit Bateau’s Champs-Elysées shop.

It’s the final days of this grisly show which celebrates the creation a century ago of the Lausanne forensic police department. The twenty or so images were all taken by the pioneering forensic scientist Rodolphe Reiss, and display, in a chill formal style, the crimes and passions of humanity. It’s rare that these archives see the light of day.
After dominating the Golden Globes earlier this month with 3 awards, the French, and silent, surprise hit of the year The Artist continues its triumph of the US with ten Oscar nominations (Actor In a Leading Role, Actress In a Supporting Role, Art Direction, Best Picture, Cinematography, Costume Design, Directing, Film Editing, Music, Original Score, Writing, Original Screenplay), falling just behind Martin Scorsese’s Hugo (11 nominations). It’s nevertheless the most nominations a French film has ever held at the Oscars. In case you didn’t know, the film is directed by Michel Hazanavicius (OSS 117: Lost in Rio, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies) and stars Jean Dujardin as George Valentin, a popular screen star in the silent film era who with fellow actor Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) finds their careers and their relationship influenced by the coming of talking pictures. Valentin resists the transition to sound, while young Peppy Miller embodies a modern age that is leaving Valentin behind. All will be revealed at the Oscars on the evening of 26 Feb, US time. |
