WHEN IT WAS JEAN CACHAREL

In 1962 Jean Bousquet, in Nîmes, founded the company Jean Cacharel. Cacharel is named after the local name of the garganey (Anas querquedula, a small duck) in the Camargue.
Jean Bousquet was the son of a sewing machine salesman; he was immersed in the world of clothes making since childhood. He trained to be a tailor at a technical college and worked for two years as a designer before returning to Paris to found his own fashion house in Le Marais. The success of his first collection inspired him to create Cacharel.
The first successful recognition thanks to the famous blouse made in a pink crepe photographed by Peter Knapp for the cover of Elle magazine. The iconic blouse. Once called "Le Cacharel", allowed the brand to enter the history of fashion for its emblematic design characteristic of the years 1960 and 1970. Cacharel designs are characteristic for their youthful style, femininity, lightness, refinement and use of bright colours. Over the years Cacharel had a tremendous impact on the fashion industry. They led the Liberty blouse boom into the 1970s. Cacharel designers have included legends like Agnès B, Azzedine Alaïa, Corinne Cobson, the Clements Ribeiro and more.

Studia per diventare sarto in un istituto tecnico e  lavora per due anni come designer prima di tornare a Parigi per fondare una propria casa di moda a Le Marais.

60's SHIRT WITH SMALL RUFFLES

During my research for vintage clothing and accessories, I usually find myself to ransack in the deeper corners of the drawers either on the top shelf, in the basement or in the garage, around shops and markets. This time it was so much simpler. This 60's flesh-pink silk shirt with small ruffles survived my mother's urge to throw all out, and it was there, motionless, for about 50 years, hanging in the my mom's closet.

 Nella mia ricerca di abiti e accessori vintage mi ritrovo solitamente a dover ravanare negli angoli più reconditi dei cassetti o sulla mensola più alta, in cantina o in garage, in giro per negozietti e mercatini. Questa volta è stato tutto molto più semplice. Questa camicia di seta color carne con piccole rouches degli anni '60 ha resistito alla smania di mia madre di buttare via tutto, ed era lì, immobile, da circa 50 anni, appesa nell'armadio di mia mamma.

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER:SARAH MOON

The images of British photographer Sarah Moon are distinguished by a dreamlike atmosphere. Through his lens, fixed the contours of a dream upon awakening caught in the 'moment before it can svanirne the memory. Offers the viewer rarefied visions, melancholy and refined. Among the recurring themes that emerge from the work of Sarah Moon include the memory,childhood, death, femininity, solitude. Sarah Moon is a French photographer born in 1941 into a Jewish family. She went to England and there studied drawing. Sarah Moon exercises the profession of modeling from 1960 to 1966, and turned to photography from 1970. She became famous for its advertising campaign for Cacharel. After 15 years working in fashion, responding to commands from brands such as Vogue, Chanel, or Dior, Sarah Moon’s career takes a turn when the artist decided to devote more time to photograph even more personal, more introspective and this time purely artistic. The big subject of her work is the time that the artist tries to stop, to win over and to tell.

MY SOUL SMELLS LIKE JASMINE

.. "there will come a day, say the sorcerers,  in which time, tortuous and devious, will end up being trapped   in this architecture of complaints   and we will be light, light ... "
..."verrà un giorno, dicono gli stregoni, in cui il tempo, tortuoso e subdolo, finirà con l'essere intrappolato in questa architettura di lamenti e noi saremo leggeri, leggeri..."
