September Issue

I saw “September Issue”.

It’s a Anna Wintour’s documentary film and the story about the September 2007 Issue of VOGUE magazine.

She is the legendary editor-in-chief of VOGUE magazine for twenty years.

It’s nice to see how to complete the magazine.

And I was excited about work of various artists.

I looked back on some photographs after a long time.

Also I’m interested in a conversation between Anna and Grace.

Grace has an attractive personality.

I really enjoyed this movie..

NINTH STREET ESPRESSO

Do you like coffee?

I love coffee…

“NINTH STREET ESPRESSO” is one of my favorite coffee shop.

They say that we love for the art of coffee making…

It’s so tasty and a wonderful aroma.

Also, I love a modern and simple designs.

The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion

メトロポリタン美術館で開催されていた、MARC JACOBSスポンサーの「The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion 」。

それぞれの時代のミューズとしてファッション界に君臨したモデル達に焦点を当てながら、FASHIONの歴史を振り返る展覧会。

ツイッギーや、元祖スーパーモデルのシンディー・クロフォードをはじめ、リンダ・エヴァンジェリスタ、ナオミ・キャンベル、ケイト・モス…

「ヴォーグ誌」に掲載された写真や映像を見て当時を想像…

FASHIONは『時代を映す鏡』。

自分はどんな絵をつくりたいのかと妄想…

VALENTINO THE LAST EMPEROR

「 VALENTINO THE LAST EMPEROR」 is a documentary film on the legendary designer Valentino Garavani.

Produced and directed by Matt Tyrnauer.

The movie shows the final two years of their careers from June 2005 to July 2007.

The struggle of art against commerce is at the center of the film.

In the end, however, the story doesn’t show about money or expensive clothes only , but about love.

What is a ” professional ” ?

I have thought and found a bit of the answer in the movie.

Guggenheim Museum

『　Frank Lloyd Wright　』展。

Guggenheim Museumは、美術館建築の概念を根本から覆した作品として、ライトの代表作に数えられている。

ライトやコルヴィジェとともに、近代建築の三大巨匠と呼ばれているミースの言葉を思い出す…

Less is more …

より少ないことは、より豊かなこと

『もっとも単純な手法で最大の効果を得る』

ポストモダンの建築家、ロバート・ヴェンチューリは、ミースの標語「Less is more.」をもじり、『Less is bore.』（より少ないことは退屈だ）と皮肉った。

デザインはおもしろい…

LESS IS MORE. 　　　　 LESS IS BORE...

AROUND THE WORLD

I left Narita for NY on March 16 2009.

I've been searching for myself.

What do I want to do? What do I want to be?

In other words, why am I here?

For what?... For who?......

What can I do??

I've been thinking seriously about these things since I was a child.

 I think a world will be happy if everyone finds favorite things and tries to live the best.

That would be great if everyone can go one's own way.

We only live once in this world.

I think " Life is a learning process."

I still go on learning and living…

I meet a lot of people everyday who are from various countries and who have different cultures.

They are unique in many ways.

It's really exciting for me.

I'd like to convey my gratitude to my family, friends, coworkers, customers, and everyone who has done something for me... here, in NY.

"Thank you..." with all my heart.

I hope everything is great with you and I hope to meet you again.

Many thanks,

Rie
