Se la jouer "Revolutionnaire tendance Trotskyste" ou "Ouvrier Metalurgiste Syndiqué" sera furieusement tendance en 2007…où comment se la jouer petit père du peuple par le détournement mode des codes révolutionnaires…Le Nouveau Noir sera le Rouge tendance Maoiste…
Oui la révolution sera reservée au costume, au design, ou dans son art contemporain. Il faut pas déconner quand même, le citoyen se déclinera dans la consommation, pas dans la rue, mais peut être dans l’isoloir…

Voici une Interview exclusive du créateur de la marque Kiki de Montparnasse, et initiateur de la tendance "Sex Luxury" : Andrew  Pollar

DP : "What is the «
Kiki de Montparnasse » vision of "Sex Luxury"?

Andrew Pollar : ""The Kiki De
Montparnasse vision and mission has always been to reinterpret existing ideas
of eroticism and intimacy and bring what should be acknowledged as a beautiful
and sensual part of everyone’s life into an unprecedented luxury retail
environment. This idea was spurned from the conviction that discerning
consumers should be introduced to a lifestyle brand that not only pays homage
to their intimate lives but may also inspire it. Until now, this clientele has
been deprived of a retail environment and quality of product that would meet
their aesthetic and luxury expectations."

DP : ""Sex
Luxury" is for Women and Men?"

AP : "The very core of
our brand is the firm belief that we admire and support sensual communion for
consenting adults, but also that individuals may indeed explore their own needs
and passions independently. That said, yes, Kiki De Montparnasse has designed
exquisite lingerie, personal beauty products, bath, home, gifts, art,
literature and more. Each product fits within the context of our brands mission
and each product is a perfect gift for one’s self or one’s lover. The
possibilities are endless and open, as are the many types of intimate relationships."

DP :"Why the name
"Kiki de Montparnasse"? "The Parisian Women" is still a Sex
Icon?"

AP : "Kiki was a modern
woman, an artist’s muse and independent thinker well ahead of her time in terms
of her personal power and strength. We were inspired by what she represented
intellectually and in terms of her progressive nature. I think Kiki is and will always be an iconic
figure and without doubt the very essence of Parisian women inspires ideas of
confidence, fashion, beauty and independence."

DP :"When
does "Kiki de Montparnasse" come back to  Paris and Montparnasse? 

AP : "With our flagship
store in Soho having opened in Spring of 2006 and our next store opening summer
of 2007 in Los Angeles, our objective is to open in other major cities around
the US and world as soon as possible.
Paris of course, is
in that plan."

Marian Salzman. la papesse internationale de la tendance, créatrice des mots "Metrosexuel" "Ubersexuel", tête chercheuse et pensante de l’agence de communication JWT, nous a fait l’honneur avec son bras droit Ann Mack directrice du Trendspotting, de répondre à nos questions forcément furieusement tendances.

MARIAN: I wish I could just go the Gap or Old Navy or Barneys or Whole Foods
and deal with me and my life. Sometimes I just need to buy soup or shoes, but I
see something and I get so caught up in it that I don’t do what I need to do.
It takes some of the pleasure out of consumption for me. Shoe shopping is not
as fun when it’s work; getting your hair cut is not as fun when it’s work. And
yet going to the hair salon and sitting in that chair can be some of the most
important work that I do, because that’s where people talk.

ANN: Marian’s mind works at a mile a minute, so it’s incredibly fascinating to
observe and absorb. She has the innate ability to connect the dots in a fresh
and exciting way that has lasting implications for our business and that of our
clients.

2- Talking about the Übersexual, in
2005, we began in this blog to talk about a new Man, a new form of masculinity,
we called him the ‘Heterock’ ( for Heterosexual and Rock’n Roll) and he was
supposed to kick the Metrosexual’s butt, then you came back with the Übersexual…So
we organized, Heterock vs. Über.. lol…(we lost of course..) Can you talk us of your work.. For example,
the genesis of your Übersexual?

MARIAN:
Ubersexuals were a result of guys wanting their M-ness back. They were tired of
taking their behavioral and fashion cues from their female counterparts and
from men’s magazines that boil men down to their basest, most simplistic
selves. The übersexual is
a man who is supremely confident (without being obnoxious), masculine, stylish,
and committed to uncompromising quality in all areas of life.

ANN: Think
Bono or George Clooney. These are men who embrace the positive aspects of their
masculinity–confidence, leadership, passion, compassion–without giving in to
the stereotypes that give guys a bad name–disrespect toward women, emotional
emptiness, complete ignorance of anything cultural outside of sports, beer,
burgers, and athletic shoes.

3- The past year has been a difficult
one for our world: Terrorism, Wars, Islam vs Western world, even the last day
of 2006 of was darkened by the execution of dictator Saddam Hussein.. So for
2007 we foresee a great need of Joy, an unbelievable thirst of Frivolity, we
named this trend guideline ‘Back to
Excentricity’. What are your feelings about that?

 MARIAN: With constant looming threats, watch for us to flip-flop between a
Carpe Diem attitude and a survival instinct. We may indulge their
eat-drink-and-be-merry mindset with a wildly extravagant, of-the-moment item
one day or play to our desire for a long life by painstakingly planning for
their future the next. It all depends on our mood and the mood of the world at
large on that given day.

ANN:  Knowing that we can’t
single-handedly avert the next big catastrophe in this uncertain world, we’re trying
our best to exert control in their immediate home and familial environments. And
technology and other advances have allowed and will continue to allow us to satisfy
our inner control freak (think mobile phones, Nanny Cams, school metal
detectors). It’s clear that we are yearning for the security of the past, both
on a personal and greater level–which could be looked at as both frivolous and
naïve. 

4- 15 Trends will be released during ‘La Quinzaine de la Tendance’ but let’s talk
about just some ones:

a. Psychedelia
As we said, last year was full of wars, threats
and fears, in 2007, people will be eager of Dreams, and Escapes…One could
feel the very beginnings of this trend in some ads ( AIDES ‘Sugar baby Love’
Coca-Cola ‘What goes around comes around’) and in Design (The new Longchamp
flagship store in New- York) can you explain us this phenomenon?
MARIAN: This type of
creative approach manages to be innovative and appealingly fresh, without
taking itself too seriously. I would look for more of this amalgamation of
escapism with a subtle wink.

 b. Antiglam
With the triumph of the ABC’s TV show ‘Ugly Betty’, the comeback of Pilosity in the fashion world (cf some
photoshoots of Inez van Lamsweerde with Kate Moss, the rise of the Stefano
Pilati’s style, the new mature ‘sexy back toy’ Justin Timberlake or the new
models on Hugo Boss, Dior, Dolce&Gabbana shows)
2007 seems to be the year of Antiglam! We won’t need to look like
the perfect Top Model anymore.. No to be ‘in’ we’ll have to have the boy/girl next door look. Why in your
opinion?
ANN: Everyone loves an
underdog. That’s why Ugly Betty and Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite and others of
their ilk are so beloved.
We
have quickly exhausted of plastic (and in some cases, panty-less)
personalities, who have built their fame on nothing other than being paparazzi
pleasers. Barbie-doll perfection is being replaced with a more natural, more
genuine, more attainable beauty, not to mention more likable and relatable. In
fact, we put soft natural hair on our 70 Things to Watch for 2007 List. Kate
Middleton is THE girl next door. She has a softer look and softer style. She
brings glam to the anti-glam, in that she’s not chasing fame; it’s chasing her.

c. Sex Luxury
No Excentricity without Sex of course… In the world of Luxury, a revolution is occuring,
its name Kiki de Montparnasse. Now,
the transgression is no longer in the object
(sex toys) but in the behaviour
(having some lessons of Oral sex!!) How can this affect people in the streets.
MARIAN: Luxury is being redefined as experiences that deepen
one’s understanding and                 appreciation of life—unlocking the cultural,
architectural, natural, and traditional richness of the world. So it comes as
no surprise that sex (let’s call it ‘high-end hospitality in a very hands-on
sort of way’) has entered the luxe domain. After all, as luxury becomes  more
accessible and affordable to acquire, people will derive their greatest
satisfaction from experiences.

5- Before the end of the interview,
what are your predictions for 2007? What are the next big things?

 MARIAN
AND ANN:

1.
New WorldThe Old World Takes on  Habits: It seems Europeans’ joie de vivre is catching up with them. Europeans
have always drunk, smoked and eaten with a superior air of nonchalance,
congratulating themselves on the slimmer waistlines and more relaxed attitudes
that seemed to elude their cousins across the pond. But it now appears that
when it comes to obesity and smoking, Europeans aren’t all that different from
Americans—they’re just a few years behind the curve.

 2. In
God We Trust? Secularism Approaches Its Tipping Point: In times
of turmoil, many Americans turn to religion for reassurance. Americans are not
alone. Across the world, secular societies are growing uneasy as small groups
of Islamic fundamentalists insulate themselves in ethnic enclaves and make
headlines as religious and political dissidents. Now, the world could be poised
for a pushback, at least in countries where the separation of religion and government
is part of the national tradition.

 3. Mr. Sandman, Send Me a Dream:
With too little time to spare and too much input coming from all manner of
media, sleep itself has become a luxury. When we want to sleep, we can’t. More of
us will come to the conclusion that sleep is worth a serious investment.

 4.
Entertaining Ourselves: We are no longer simply
interacting with entertainment—rating it, talking back to it—we’re creating it.
Technology is allowing more amateurs to express themselves at minimal expense
or risk in formats that range from blogs to video clips to mash-ups (videos or
songs edited together to create new pieces).

 5.
The Disappearing Generation Gap: Fourth-graders dial
up their friends on cell phones, and teenage girls strut down the street in
Ferragamo pumps—while their moms sport canvas Converse and their grandparents buy
up Rolling Stones tickets. The generation gap has nearly closed, at least in
the West, where medical and cosmetic advancements are redefining our ideas
about age and aging.

 6. The New Woman’s Prerogative: No
longer trapped by the domestic constructs of the 1950s or even by the corporate
expectations of the 1980s, women are in greater control of their lives than
ever before. Growing numbers of women are through with the 9-to-5 grind that
kept them at the mercy of their employer’s policies on child care and maternity
leave; instead, they’re harnessing a spirit of entrepreneurship.

 7. The Art of Eating Well: Eating now has a
moral overlay: If you are what you eat and you eat bad food, are you a bad
person? If you do not read nutritional labels, are you to blame for your
children’s health problems? Even for those who do pay close attention, the
advice of experts is contradictory and confusing, so who’s to say what the
right choices are?

 8.
The Tyranny of the Middle: U.S. Iraq During the past six years,
it seemed as if most
politicians had forgotten all about the silent majority: the purple people. The
majority of Americans are befuddled by a war in  that may or may not have
anything to do with the war on terrorism, the ethical complexities of stem cell
research and the purported culture wars between red and blue populations. In the middle of the last century, Americans were
heroes—in their own minds, but also in the minds of many others worldwide—and
the next challenge will be to once more build a reputation for the just
application of power.

 9.
Buying the Experience: In coming years, more of
us will want a taste of such high-end pampering and a chance to flaunt our own
exclusive personal experiences. In a world of well over 6 billion people, it’s
all too easy to feel lost in the crowd. Expect to see more retailers pampering
their customers in 2007, doing all they can to make the shopping experience
less about shopping itself and more about the experience—especially the
experience of being recognized and made to feel special.

10.
Truthiness in Branding: “Truthiness,” the American
Dialect Society’s 2005 word of the year, is defined as “The quality of stating
concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than concepts or facts known to
be true.”

In popularizing the term, Stephen Colbert struck a nerve:
The anchor of the faux news/opinion show The
Colbert Report found a way to both embrace and satirize the rampant culture
of lies and spin that colors the national and international discourse. From
politicians to pundits to admen, the communications business today has become
all about shaping the facts, or the factoids, to suit one’s point of view—or,
in many cases, to obscure it.
