Photoshooting at Richard Goullet’s house near Uzes

Photoshoot at Richard Goullet's House

It was a cold but sunny day, as Provence makes them, in this magical place decorator Richard Goullet created. Journalist Marie Maud Levron and photographer Yann Deret where there to shoot the house, and Richard was so kind as to put forward some of my products. He has been a guardian angel for me, ever since I met him when moving back to France, so this is a heartfelt tribute to him. Of course my pictures don’t do his place justice, but the shoot was published in the December 2021 publication of Art et Decoration Magazine, with the «proper» pictures! So this is behind the scene set…

Sur la route du Tokaido @ Musée Guimet

Sur la route du Tokaido, Musee Guimet

It seems as I haven’ really come back from Japan… keep looking for indigo everywhere! On a busy day in paris, I managed to stop at the Musee Guimet to catch an exhibition showcasing a flurry of etchings from the famed Tokaido route. The Tokaido is the east and most famous of the Gokaido routes. It started to develop from the Kamakura (1185-1333) period, but reached a peak during the Edo (1603-1868) period.

Indigo is indeed very present in the etchings, in the landscapes but also on the clothes which are a fascinating sight if you have the slightest interest in indigo reserve techniques! The…

Lee Young-Hee, l’etoffe des réves

Lee Young-Her, l'etoffe des réves

Una exposición sublime en el Musee Guimet de París, una fuente infinita de inspiración como todas sus creaciones donde se basan en telas teñidas naturalmente, hechas a mano, de hecho de ensueño! La exposición se abre con trajes tradicionales coreanos, todos recreados por el estilista coreano. La mayoría de la ropa de mujer cuenta con el Hanbok, un top corto muy corto y elegante, emblema del traje tradicional coreano. Incluso los granjeros tenían ropa extremadamente elegante.. En este clima muy cálido y húmedo, esos chalecos de bambú y bandas de brazo de primer nivel donde se utilizan contra la piel, debajo de la ropa, para evitar que se peguen a la piel y dejen una capa de aire para ventilar el cuerpo… La segunda parte de la exposición…

Aizumi-cho historical museum

Another perl in our awesome trip organised by @leafLuberon around the indigo course at Buaisou Set in the former house of a major indigo merchant, this museum traces the history of indigo production, and use: from seed to fabric. The exquisite miniature scenes are a moving testimony or the hardship endured by people working in that trade. Indigo seedlings are protected from pest at night with straw panels They are pulled out and transplanted in between wheat rows, wheat protects the young seedlings from the strong sun Wheat is than harvested, leaving only the indigo to thrive Fertilisation The indigo is harvested and the leaves are cut and separated from the stem The indigo leaves are dried and made into Sukumo, a leaf compost, which is than used…
