FASHION 2005.
BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE.
Despite the doe-eyed models, miles of
muslin and yards of silk, the common man managed to catch and keep the
spotlight at Brazil's biggest designer event, Sao Paulo Fashion Week. The
watchwords at this year's event, were sales and jobs. An entire floor of the
Sao Paulo Biennale Pavilion was transformed into a fashion salon, a polite
word for a beehive of functional conference rooms where sales...

price of everything and the value of nothing." Oscar Wilde said that and he
hadn't even seen In Style magazine.

GAY PARIS IN THE 20s and 30s: Background, People,
Places, Personalities, Hospitality, Restaurants, Food, Wine, Pleasure, Style,
Fashion, Arts, Poetry, Music and Adventure. According to Maximillien de
Lafayette. Mon Dieu! To be and live in Paris during "Les annees folles",
between the end of 1917 and 1934, especially if you were an eccentric artist,
an intellectual adventurer, a frou-frou femme fatale, a genius or an
independently wealthy American, willing to spend a lot of money on arts,
dating and women. Ask Madonna, Paulette Attie, Penelope de Vassy
and Louise de Chambertin. Really "real" America's la crème de la crème
was there. The "real" American high society, the privileged class, the snobs
(Although it was too early for the Americans to know how to be a snob), les
bourgeois, wealth filthy characters, the hustlers with a style, the
scandalous adventurous women, the schmoozer and the cruisers, the handsome
gigolos, the champagne, the caviar, the kisses and the misses, sex, the drama
and all the "chic" pleasures of the era. Hemingway was here. Paramour Stein
too. Why Paris - what made everybody want to come here and create, and drink,
and dance, and paint, and write stories or invent them? Women? obnoxious,
over-cultured and over-sophisticated Frenchmen? Bubbly champagne? Sinfully
good wine? Nice plat de fromage? A nostalgia? A fantasy? A new social,
political and artistic era? A modern Parisian revolution? Yes! Yes! All of the
above!

WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE?
Alexandra Kerry loomed out of the Cannes night like a Magritte nude,
leaving the paparazzi pondering; "Did she dress in the dark? Was her
postmodern take on visible panty line and Mister Magoo chic a ghastly accident
— like an errant trail of loo paper — or a cunning ploy to lure lenses?".
Whatever, it worked. "I have been labeled like I'm this angry girl - I'm like,
this rebel, I'm like, punk, and I am SO not any of them...
t32.THE
MOST ELEGANT, THE BEST AND THE WORST DRESSED STARS IN AMERICA.
"You have one minute to impress, 30 seconds to catch the moment and just 3
seconds to make a lasting impression." Once, wrote Maximillien de Lafayette in
his book on world protocol and etiquette. And how you can you impress by
catching the moment in less than 3 seconds without saying a word? Simple:
Dress to kill. Dress for Success! Be Elegant and Refined. Elegance is the
key. Remember, nowadays stars don't create fashion anymore as did the femmes
fatales of the golden era of Hollywood, thanks to Valentino..

ART HISTORY
AND GENOCIDE. BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE
To fully understand the
essence and spirit of Armenian art in the homeland and Diaspora, a brief
glance at the history of Diaspora in the last hundred year (1895-1994) is
necessary. At the end of the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th
century the political and geographical role of the Russian Empire becomes more
dominant and active in the internal affairs of Armenia. Russia won the
1804-1013 war against the Persian empire. Consequently, Russia gained many
territories, and new lands, including the Caucasus, Gandzak khanates and
Karabagh.

KINGDOM
OF CILICIA: BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE. he kingdom
of Cilicia is considered by eminent historians, archaeologists and
anthropologists as one of the greatest ancient empires of all times. It did
not last very long in the history of human kind but, most certainly, it made
an immense mark on the European civilization, its way of life, its trade and
commerce, its arts and laws, its architecture and above all, it left an
extra-ordinary impact on Early Christianity edifices, castles, palaces,
cathedrals and churches, as well as on the Crusaders who learned from the
Armenians how to build circular- round-shaped castles and towers.
254. THE CILICIAN STYLE:
BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE.
FROM
ITS GLORIOUS DAYS, ITS ORIGIN, ITS RISE, ITS GLORY TO ITS FALL AND DEATH ON
THE HAND OF THE MAMLUKS.
The
second style of the early Armenian manuscripts painting is the Cilician
style. A very beautiful, colorful, rich, vibrant, humanistic and detailed
brighter and happier art. Tens of thousands of illuminated manuscripts were
produced in the times of medieval Armenia. Unfortunately many perished.
HISTORY OF THE FRENCH CABARET AND ENTERTAINMENT BY MAXIMILLIEN DE LAFAYETTE.
HISTORY
OF MUSIC, ENTERTAINMENT, SHOWBIZ AND CABARET IN FRANCE FROM THE 17th CENTURY
TO PRESENT. This
is the true history of Cabaret and how it came to existence. Our story will
bring so many memories and passages of history forgotten in the dark alleys of
life and on the dusty shelves of our mind. Some names and places are familiar,
while others are obscure and unknown for obvious reasons. More precisely,
because many of those places disappeared long time ago from the old Parisian
landscape. Some were ravished by the hardship of time, others demolished to
give place and definition to modern edifices, offices buildings, parking lots,
and in some instances to be replaced by modern Cabarets, facilities and
locals. As to people’s names, some were forgotten because, they shined for a
while and vanished for reasons we know and reasons we ignore. Once upon a
time, their music and words entertained many sad souls and adventurers who
found comfort and consolation in their warmth and imaginative style. But,
unfortunately, they lost appeal because they became “Demodes” meaning out of
fashion and out of style.
