Sketchbook Magazine - the Bloggers Issue

Dear Shaded Viewers,

The London based independent magazine, SKETCHBOOK, showcasing new creative talents in fashion , design and culture around the planet has launched its first edition, The Blogger Issue, "I blog therefore I am". I just saw it and really enjoyed it even though I over-reacted a bit when I saw the illustration of me, which I thought made me look about 110 years old,. Beyond that outburst of vanity, I am very happy to be a part of this new publication.

SKETCHBOOK can be purchased here: http://magcloud.com/browse/issue/38767.

At the moment SKETCHBOOK is only shipped to the US, United Kingdom and Canada. I tried to order it but....not possible for shipment in France.

Lichting 2008

Dear Shaded Viewers,

After the Lichting show, José Teunissen and I commented on the show and discussed Dutch fashion trends. Journalist Bregje Lampe facilitated the discussion. I have to hand it to the sound operator, during the interviw music was blasting out at a very high level and it is pretty much a miracle that you could hear us at all.

A CUT ABOVE THE REST...BY KATRINA CAYTON GUEVARA

Diane Pernet on CHIC / Arte

On Arte at 13h30 "Tendances" Blog de Mode

Dear Shaded Viewers,

If you have a tv, which I don't...you can watch "Tendences" Blog de Mode at 13h30 today on Arte. I think for the rest of the week you could find it on www.arte.tv/fr/connaissance-decouverte/chic. The part on www.ashadedviewonfashion.com was filmed the day of the final selection for Hyeres, so you will be privy to a bit of the process.

El Pais in the Sunday Special Fashion Magazine supplement

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Thanks to Mario Canal, I heard that I appear in the Special Fashion Magazine supplement of El Pais today. Of course, aside from telling me that it made him smile, I have no idea what it says and this is the only image of the magazine that I have. Looks comfortable on Mario's bed in his new apartment.

If any of my Shaded Viewers in Spain have a copy and would like to translate it for me, please do. You can easily find El Pais here but unfortunately not with the magazine supplement. The photo is by Miguel Villalobos.

I have the coolest Shaded Viewers, within no time I received the translation from Itzi and the scan from DFC, thank you both.

P.S. Happy 25th birthday to Shaded Contributor Yoanne Lemoine. In addition to his many accomplishments as a filmmaker, director and illustrator, Friday he signed a contract with Polydor Records as a jazz/folk singer. I'm looking forward to his first album. I never even knew that he could sing....guess I had not read his myspace page.

DP in D la Repubblica delle Donne today

Dear Shaded Viewers,

This is crazy, I just got in the door from Florence and the journalist that wrote the article, Laura Antonini, sent me this jpeg. I was in Italy where I could have easily picked up a copy of D la Repubblica delle Donne had I known that I was in it...Of course, I don't speak Italian so I only understand about half of what it says but I love sharing the page with Anthony Hopkins. I'm honored.
