Imagine all the People - Anna Mouglalis, Diane Kruger... New icons next door

Modern muses and perfect representatives of the contemporary "female icon". Far from the throngs exasperating and hollow "it girls", they would have us accept as a new concept of disposable icons ... Gross ... They are the "new glam", ie a mix of old and new codes of "female icon" adjusted to our time.

They continue to offer that touch of dream and share of mystery by adding a new accessibility, subtly translated by a "girl next door" look or rather now "I'm not a celebrity everyday". This is the coronation of the refrain: "I am a simple girl who does extraordinary things," taking it to heart by all the new wave of actresses of the latest generation.

They have understood that the actual icon is a woman with two faces, but particularly holds several strings to her bow. The icon of this new century is apparently uninhibited and easily admirable ... For neither too sulfurous and desirable, neither too pale and common.

Similar to an excellent poker player "the icon next door" can play its image under any circumstances, impassive and imperceptible or sassy and bold. But each time, with that little "spark", that "something" that makes them and no others, true icons.

Imagine all the People - Vogue's Popes in somebody's else shoes... Girls just want to have fun

Most little girls play with dolls, then they become real human size dolls, and play in way different spheres as those of their childhood's clean and cosy nest.

I speak knowingly...

Some will not play the doll at all and others go on their quest, indeed their art, imposing their diktat to almost inevitable hordes of giant puppets swoon in front of each of their sermons...

Today, I had the regressive desire to replay the doll myself but with a twisted mind that characterizes me. So I chose those with whom no one ever plays on the pretext that they have invented the game...

What's more exciting than playing with the Pope's environment... I name Carine Roitfeld and Anna Wintour... Showing such intelligence and humor I am sure, will appreciate.

I dedicate this first draft, and game to a child who could provoque and upset the codes, with intelligence and verve, this genius who left us and whom we will miss: MR. ALEXANDER MC QUEEN.
