Beautiful, bizarre hijinks ensue, and so does a damn catchy single.

Dear iDEALS, both me and Maria Mastori were very pleased when Mr Vassilis Zidianakis asked us to participate in his project MONSTERS IN FASHION, curated along with Mr Angelos Tsourapas and ATOPOS. Unfortunately I was not in town to attend the official opening last week but it was certainly the first thing I wanted to see them moment I set foot on Parisian land yesterday..

Here are some of the snaps I did, focusing mostly on the faces of each monster. If you haven't yet visited, well, you need to do so! Its just fantastic!

BRANKO POPOVIC REPORTS: BLUE JEANS, FROM THE 17th CENTURY to PRESENT

Dear Filep and iDEALS, you don't even have to take a closer look to notice that Dutch people love to wear jeans like nothing else. Jeans dominate the street styles in the Netherlands while apparently it seems the Dutch wear the highest number of jeans per head of the world's population.

Based on general street style in the Netherlands this is not something to pursue. However this exhibition proves that there are reasons to be proud of this phenomenon. With this exhibition Centraal Museum Utrecht is showing the historical and current aspects of jeans as well as the experimental and creative side of jeans: from their origin as work-wear in the 17th century, to high fashion in the 20th century, to contemporary jeans - including worldwide renowned Dutch brands such as G-Star.

The amazing about this gathering of jeans' creations is the fact that it covers all kinds of topics does not fail to exhibit many amazing pieces from classic jeans brands to jeans couture from brands like Maison Martin Margiela, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood.

As Yves Saint Laurent often repeated: “I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes”.

"Blue Jeans, from 17th century to present day" is open until March 10

MODEMUSEUM HASSELT PRESENTS: AXELLE RED / FASHION VICTIM

Dear iDEALS, from 26 January through 2 June 2013, the Fashion Museum of Hasselt presents Axelle Red - Fashion Victim. Axelle Red has been given ‘carte blanche’, or should we say ‘rouge’, to express her story about music and about a certain (Belgian) fashion throughout her life and her career.

Fashion has always been a way of expressing herself, a passion, an art, a mirror for herself and society. Her video clips, art work and performances reflect the zeitgeist of innovative designers, including Helmut Lang, Maison Martin Margiela, Olivier Theyskens and A.F. Vandevorst.

And stories she has... about creation, cooperation, commitment, recognition, aesthetics and all her delicious anecdotes about garments during recordings, shoots and her life. Axelle is passionate about many pieces in her wardrobe, such as the tabi-shoes by Martin Margiela, the various jumpsuits and the hats by Elvis Pompillio that have been ever-present since her career began. Her style inspires; the cowboy hat may remind us of Madonna on the cover of her Confessions on a Dance Floor album, but that was years after Axelle had presented this look for her album, Face A-Face B.

In addition to her wardrobe, photography and visual language as a whole also form a visual memory for Axelle's career. She carefully selects the talented photographers, artists and collaborators whom she admires to illustrate and help present her work. These encounters have led to friendships with, for example, graphic designer Paul Ritter, who is based in New York and will be working on this exhibition.

As is the case with her music, here too, Axelle Red is not afraid to cross the universe to work with the very best.

All the photographers with whom she has worked are authorities in their field. They include Giorgia Kokolis, Jan Welters, Melodie McDaniel, Sylvie Lancrenon, Alex Salinas, Serge Leblon, Kurt Stallaert, Annette Aurell, Vincent Soyez, Nicol’ Andrea and Glen Luchford, to name a few. Axelle Red: Fashion Victim tells the very personal story of this passionate relationship.

The Fashion Museum of Hasselt and Axelle Red have asked Didier Vervaeren, artistic director, stylist and lecturer at La Cambre, to assist her in this project, along with Paul Ritter, Jean François Pinto and Véronique Leroy. A few names Maison Martin Margiela, Véronique Leroy, Olivier Theyskens, Helmut Lang, Elvis Pompilio, A.F. Vandevorst, Sam Dillemans, Marlene Dumas, Evelyne Axell, Christian Wijnants, Ann Demeulemeester, Boy & Erik Stappaerts, Georgia Kokolis, Charlie De Keersmaecker, Veronique Branquinho, Maria Gil, Sylvie Lancrenon, Rick Owens, Haider Ackermann, Tim Van Steenbergen, Alex Salinas, Bruno Pieters, Serge Leblon, Vincent Soyez...
