FASHION NEWS JAPAN – NOVEMBER 2007
WHAT IS YOUR LATEST NEWS?
I'M IN NYC TO RECEIVE A COOPER HEWITT NATIONAL DESIGN AWARD, AND A FASHION GROUP INTERNATIONAL AWARD. I'M ALSO DOING A BOOK SIGNING OF MY NEW BOOK, "L'AI-JE BIEN DESCENDU?", WHICH MEANS “HOW DID YOU LIKE MY DESCENT?". THIS WAS A QUOTE FROM A FAMOUS PARISIAN SHOWGIRL, CECILE SOREL, WHO USED TO SAY IT TO HER AUDIENCE AFTER HAVING MADE A GRAND ENTRANCE DOWN A STAIRCASE ON STAGE. IT'S A SCRAPBOOK COVERING MY LAST 10 YEARS IN BUSINESS. WHILE I'VE BEEN IN NEW YORK, I'VE HAD A FURNITURE SHOW RUNNING IN PARIS. BESIDES THE PLYWOOD AND ANTLER PIECES THAT ARE EVOLUTIONS OF LAST YEAR'S PIECES, I DID SOME MARBLE LAMPS AND CAST BRONZE PIECES THAT I'M VERY PLEASED WITH.
