Remplaçant l'uniforme rigide et aristocratique de l'époque par des vestes en tweed et des pantalons
souples donnant une allure plus détendue et plus
accessible, Fred Astaire est devenu un modèle pour
toute une génération et continue d'être une référence pour les amateurs de style. Symbole d'une démocratisation de l'Amérique de l'après-guerre, ce dandy au naturel charmeur arborait également ces tenues décontractées pour une raison bien plus pratique : Astaire était un danseur et ses vêtements devaient être confortables, d'une coupe irréprochable - ils devaient danser avec lui. Le Style Fred Astaire analyse l'apport légendaire de ce danseur dans la mode du XXe siècle et décrypte son style, des pochettes en soie aux chaussures en daim blanc, en passant par ses cravates en laine ou gilets en tweed.
Replacing the stiff and aristocratic uniform of the time with tweed jackets and pants flexible giving a more relaxed and more accessible, Fred Astaire has become a model for a whole generation and continues to be a benchmark for style lovers. Symbol of a democratization of post-war America, this naturally charming dandy also sported these casual outfits for a much more practical reason: Astaire was a dancer and his clothes had to be comfortable, impeccably cut - they had to dance with him. The Style Fred Astaire analyzes the legendary contribution of this dancer in the fashion of the 20th century and deciphers his style, from silk pockets to white suede shoes, including his wool ties or tweed vests.

Visitez la page du produit →Surplombant la mer Égée, une charmante chaîne de quartiers côtiers forme la Riviera d’Athènes, une évasion sereine de l’activité constante du centre-ville. Une sélection d'hôtels haut de gamme borde les plages immaculées jusqu'au point le plus au sud de la péninsule Attique. Le Four Seasons Astir Palace rénové, avec une histoire de logement de dignitaires étrangers et de stars de cinéma des années 1960, est l'hôtel le plus luxueux d'Athènes, peut-être même de toute la Grèce. La boîte de nuit Island ramène le glamour et l'effervescence des clubs bouzouki du XXe siècle qui rappellent des noms tels que Melina Mercouri et Stavros Niarchos.
Athène connaît un renouveau - dans l'art, la vie nocturne et le design. Pour une métropole constamment associée au passé, les progrès modernes du développement et de la culture sont parfois négligés au profit des ruines et des artefacts de l'Antiquité. Alors qu'en fait, la juxtaposition ne fait que renforcer la beauté des deux. La Riviera d'Athènes met l'ancien monde à côté du nouveau monde et une compréhension plus profonde de cette ancienne capitale émerge. Avec un pied dans le passé et un pied dans le futur; accès à la fois à l'électricité de la vie urbaine et à la tranquillité d'une station balnéaire, Athènes ne peut pas être définie en termes simples. Il suffit d'en faire l'expérience par lui-même.
Overlooking the Aegean Sea, a charming string of coastal neighborhoods form the Athens Riviera, a serene escape from the constant activity in the city’s center. A selection of high-end hotels lines the pristine stretch of beaches down to the southernmost point of the Attica Peninsula. The revamped Four Seasons Astir Palace, with a history of housing foreign dignitaries and film stars of the 1960s, is the most luxurious hotel in Athens, perhaps even in all of Greece. The night club, Island, is bringing back the glamour and excitement of the twentieth century bouzouki clubs reminiscent of names such as Melina Mercouri and Stavros Niarchos.
Athens is experiencing a revival—in art, night life and design. For a metropolis constantly associated with the past, the modern strides in development and culture are sometimes overlooked in favor of the ruins and artifacts from antiquity. When in fact, the juxtaposition only enhances the beauty of both. Athens Riviera puts the old-world beside the new-world and a deeper understanding of this ancient capital emerges. With one foot in the past and one foot in the future; access to both the electricity of city life and the tranquility of a beach side resort, Athens cannot be defined in simple terms. One just has to experience it for themselves.

Visitez la page du produit →Il a été dit que Marrakech éveille tous les sens. Que ce soit voir les carreaux de zellige complexes; sentir les diverses épices vendues dans les souks; entendre l'appel à la prière émaner des mosquées voisines; toucher le cuir souple utilisé pour fabriquer une paire de babouches (sandales en cuir); dégustant un tajine savoureux, Marrakech ne manque jamais d'exciter. Située juste à l'ouest des montagnes de l'Atlas, la ville est habitée par des agriculteurs berbères depuis des siècles. Elle a été surnommée la «ville ocre» en raison de la prolifération des bâtiments en grès rouge et des murs rouges de la ville, qui entourent désormais la médina, qui abrite Jemaa el-Fnaa, l'une des places les plus fréquentées d'Afrique.
Marrakech regorge de culture et inspire les visiteurs depuis des décennies. D'Yves Saint Laurent à Talitha Getty, de Winston Churchill à Mick Jagger, Marrakech a attiré de grandes icônes inspirées par son esprit éternel ainsi que par sa douce et belle vie. La relation intime d’Yves Saint Laurent avec cette ville a conduit à l’ouverture d’un musée dédié à son œuvre légendaire. Le Festival international du film de Marrakech, annuel, attire une foule importante. Les musées abondent, présentant des arts marocains, des photographies, des tapis et l'esthétique du design andalou qui imprègne l'architecture de la ville. L'hôtel La Mamounia, ouvert en 1923, offre une histoire riche, qui comprend l'hébergement de clients tels que Winston Churchill. El Fenn de Vanessa Branson est une collection de riads traditionnels qui forment un superbe hôtel de caractère. Il existe d'innombrables façons de s'immerger dans la culture de Marrakech, mais le meilleur endroit pour commencer est peut-être avec un simple verre de thé à la menthe.
It has been said that Marrakech awakens all of the senses. Whether it is seeing the intricate zellige tilework; smelling the various spices sold at the souks; hearing the call to prayer emanate from the nearby mosques; touching the supple leather used to make a pair of babouches (leather sandals); tasting a flavorful tagine, Marrakech never fails to excite. Located just west of the Atlas Mountains, the city has been inhabited by Berber farmers for centuries. It has been dubbed the “Ochre City” because of the proliferation of red sandstone buildings and the red city walls, which now enclose the Medina, home to Jemaa el-Fnaa, one of the busiest squares in Africa.

Vanessa Branson’s El Fenn is a collection of traditional riads that form a stunning boutique hotel. There are countless ways to be immersed in the culture of Marrakech, but perhaps the best place to start is with a simple glass of mint tea.
