SUMMER READING: HOUSES OF THE SUNDOWN SEA!

Houses of the Sundown Sea: The Architectural Vision of Harry Gesner. For more than sixty years, casual observers and architectural aficionados alike have craned their necks to catch glimpses of Harry Gesner houses of Southern CaliforniaThere's one hovering on a mountaintop above Malibu, as it poised to take flight over the Pacific. Another is bolded to a cliff so that the site can support a home before the next 60 -foot cliff drops off. And yet another is tucked away on the grounds of the Getty Museum centre in Los Angeles. Maverick architect and inventor Harry Gesner was always drawn to unusual, challenging sites, which called for dramatic architecture and living environments. Houses of the Sundown Sea: The Architectural Vision of Harry Gesner will open doors to these and twelve other intriguing homes, all located in and round the Los Angeles area, accompanied by magnificent photographs by Jurgen NogaiThe book's scope will be broad, using archival photographs, documents and a rich collection of Gesner's own spectacular design drawings, blue prints and floor plans to trace his career from 1945 to the present. Even in Southern California, a region that has been a catalyst for great Modern architecture for more than a century, Gesner's utterly unique designs are outside the canons of doctrinaire modernism. Rather, his sensibility springs from his interpretation of the landscape and the messages it communicates to him after days of sketching on a new pristine site. Inevitably, for a man born an raised in Southern California, his sculptural designs are imbues with the vision of an almost primeval California, derived from his parents memories of the relatively undeveloped paradise of his youth. He is a Modernist, but one whose romantic, idealistic nature has caused his truly extraordinary body of work to be overlooked. Until now.

CONFUSING BRYANBOY!

I don't really know what's the story/business behind bryanboy, but I can't say I like his 'style' (?). His 'radical feminism' it's a bit confusing to me (and I'm strictly talking fashion. it has nothing to do with his sexual orientation(s))..Anyway, sometimes I check his blog, especially during FASHION WEEK, for his front row videos, which are very..short & capture the essentials (=perfect, when you don't have time to watch the full shows)..Anyway, back to point 1, from time to time, his masculine style arises, and the results are quite cool! Check out below!

MR CHARLES EAMES, THE ARTIST!

When, during World War II, Mr Charles Eames moved to Los Angeles with his new wife Ms Ray Eames (neé Ms Ray Kaiser), the design duo embarked on a career that would define the look of an entire era

Their creative and romantic partnership was of unrivalled influence in the post-war period, thanks to the way they combined an engineer's take on modernism, a joyful sense of optimism and a deeply artistic sensibility. They may now be remembered chiefly as the designers of beautiful furniture, but the film suggests that their talents were far broader than their current legacy suggests.

Eames: The Architect and the Painter is released on 3 August!

THE LOOK: MR VINCENT KARTHEISER!

 "It's like Oscar Wilde said: 'there are two great tragedies in life'," he says. "'One is not getting what you want, and the other is getting it.'"    


"Don't get me wrong, I get along terribly well with the cast," he says. "I don't think they hate me as much as they hate Pete Campbell, but maybe I worry that they do. So I share that with Pete."


 "Thirty years old are just teenagers that gold older. You do adult things like shave your face and pay taxes, but you have a lot of the same insecurities and socially awkward abilities"
