<p>GANRYU by Fumito Ganryu</p>
<p><strong>A beautiful foreign element of the house of Comme des Garçons</strong></p>
<p>The house of Comme des Garçons has found a beautiful foreign element. It’s Fumito Ganryu, who designs his signature label “GANRYU” launched in the Spring-Summer season of 2008.</p>
<p>“If I do something the least like Comme des Garçons, that would be something the most like Comme des Garçons. So, I’d admit there is a strong root of avant-garde / Punk attitude in my creation. But GANRYU is meant to be human and personal. Every single moment of the daily life is quite inspirational for me. I would not visit a special place nor try to listen a special music. Those “SPECIAL” things would not influence me directly.”</p>
<p>At a glance, GANRYU is very visual clothes; colourful pallet, dynamic graphic and strong proportions, such as super over-sized blouson or buggy trousers. The truth is, however, that each single pieces of the collection is quite wearable and even intimate.</p>

<p><strong>Un hermoso elemento extranjero de la casa Comme des Garçons</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>La casa Comme des Garçons ha encontrado un hermoso elemento extranjero. Se trata de Fumito Ganryu, cuyos diseños tienen la marca “GANRYU”, lanzada en la temporada Primavera-Verano de 2008.</p>
<p>“Si hago algo al menos parecido a Comme des Garçons, podría resultar algo lo más parecido a Comme des Garçons. Así pues, debo admitir que existe una fuerte raíz de vanguardia y actitud Punk en mi creación. Pero GANRYU pretende ser humano y personal. Cada momento específico de la vida diaria es para mí una fuente de inspiración. No visito un lugar especial ni trato de escuchar una música especial. Esas cosas “ESPECIALES” no influyen directamente en mí.”</p>
<p>A primera vista, GANRYU es una ropa muy visual de colorida gama, gráfica dinámica y fuertes proporciones, como por ejemplo blusones o pantalones sobredimensionados. Pero la verdad es que cada pieza de la colección es realmente es bastante ‘ponible’ e incluso íntima.</p>

<p><strong>Saratoga Springs. 1st race of the season</strong></p>
<p>Just before the gun goes off, the racetrack is eerily quiet. As the shot resonates, the starting gates explode only to unleash jockeys astride their horses competing a furious melee.</p>
<p>Time is suspended as women parading with peacock hats empty gin and tonics with voracious appetites, all the while keeping an observant eye as men and animals merge into modern centaurs.</p>
<p>Like a black and white movie turning to color, reality gains back its lost ground as the first horse reaches the finish line, unleashing a flood of deafening screams of joy and luck but also shouts of abandon and broken dreams.</p>
<p>#Espanol|Fotografiado por <strong>Marc Lecureuil</strong></p>
<p><strong>Saratoga Springs. Primera Carrera de la temporada</strong></p>
<p>Justo antes de que suene el disparo, la calma de la pista es escalofriante. Cuando el tiro resuena, las puertas de la salida estallan para permitir que los jockeys montando sus cabalgaduras ingresen en un tumulto furioso.</p>
<p>El tiempo queda suspendido mientras mujeres desfilando con sombreros de pavo real vacían sus gin tonic con apetito voraz, manteniendo al mismo tiempo un ojo observador cuando hombres y animales se convierten en modernos centauros.</p>
<p>Como una película en blanco y negro que se transforma en color, la realidad recupera su terreno perdido cuando el primer caballo alcanza la línea de meta, despertando una marea de ensordecedores gritos de alegría y celebración, junto con gritos de desilusión y sueños rotos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>#English|Text by <strong>Godfrey Deeny</strong></p>
<p>Vik I Myrdal, Iceland.</p>
<p>We have entered a new era of fashion where the dominance of Paris, Milan and New York is being boldly eroded by a new tribe of talented designers emerging from every continent, whose creations are best appreciated in their home towns. The latest stylistic boomtown is Reykjavik, whose fashion is a visual expression of its citizens’ gutsy energy, protective clothing, all-night partying and, above all, the uniquely bold beauty of its thoroughly offbeat women.</p>
<p>Most fashion shoots are set in East Village lofts or before the Eiffel Tower in Paris or on a drank street in Hackney to impress the readers by their alleged cool. That’s completely wrong. To support our new era of regional fashion – where inventive designers are springing up everywhere from Tbilisi and Riga to Rio and Reykjavik – these new talents need to be seen it in their true context. That’s why using the raw beauty of Iceland; its bluff drama, its rolling skies, its tumultuous topography, its avant-garde tailoring and the incendiary beauty of its women is so much cooler and better.</p>
<p>This dramatic Dreamland Journey shoot never falls into the classic mistake of attempting of be more than it is. Instead, Dreamland Journey is an honest, living reflection of the funky, earthy panache that is this rare jewel of an island isolated in the turbulence and mist of the north Atlantic.</p>
<p>No wonder photographer Erez Sebag and stylist Edda Gudmundsdottir stayed in Iceland, heading out of its capital to the country’s southern most city, Vik I Myrdal, whose black basalt sand beach gets attacked by giant Atlantic rollers.</p>
<p>Its fingers of basalt rock formed into giant cliff sentinels, were an ideal setting for the graphic elegance that is Icelandic chic, and the country’s two most energetic designers – Hildur Yeoman and Mundi.</p>
<p>This spring, in my first trip to ballsy badass Reykjavik and its once-a-year fashion festival I caught up with  Hildur Yeoman, whose stellar showed featured a brilliant life version of Olivia Newtown Jones bubble gum dance classic Xanadu. Staged in Harpa, the beautiful dimpled glass concert and theater complex located at the atmospheric Old Port, Yeoman’s tribal babe vixens from the north go to an after party in a naughty after-hours bar was pretty damned brilliant.</p>
<p>As was a blooming great show by Mundi, who rocked out in the basement parking of Harpa in a post-Armageddon collection, where the black and white graphic apparel had poise and practicality – tough chic to fend off a icy street corner wind, cool clobber for the inner circle. A beautiful video by Mundi featured the actual clothes worn on models in the stunning Elliaarhraun lava fields, with shaven head scene stealer, Aron Bergmann Magnusson in the starring role as chiseled jaw beauties indulged in bizarre blue blood drinking rituals. Just the sort of lovely lassie Irish poets want to bring home to meet their mothers for Sunday lunch. No wonder Mundi and Aron became good buddies, two bold dandies with enough style and alcohol capacity to drink with an Irish writer.</p>
<p>Our Dreamland Journey was based around Mundi’s remote farmhouse, which is to Iceland what Karl’s Biarritz villa or Donatella’s via Gesu palazzo is to their cultures – i.e. the insiders’ ultimate hangout.</p>
<p>They were not the only designers to tastefully attire the local Icelandic women and their beautiful soft eyed, yet fierce lipped, allure. I could also only admire Ziska, by Harpa Einarsdottir, an exotic local artist whose cross of skinny Nordic rocker, mystical tales, faux Viking tattoos and dramatic crocheted black wool designs was dementedly cool and out there. And when in Iceland do check out Kormaks &amp; Skjoldur, a gentlemanly duo whose basement store on the city&#8217;s main shopping Mecca, Kjorgardur. Call it patrician chic for highland rambles and whisky fueled dinner parties. In other words, an Icelandic must-see.</p>
<p>Reykjavik Chic is all about stupendously funky parties, leggy local beauties, gloomy pink sunsets, silvery dawns and jagged silhouettes, best appreciated in this Dreamland Journey shoot. As you can tell I loved Iceland, ever outlandishly hip but always ultimately uber itself. Long may she stay that way, long may our fashion universe discover this chilly paradise of the north.</p>

<p>#Espanol|Texto por <strong>Godfrey Deeny</strong></p>
<p>Hemos ingresado a una nueva era de la moda, donde el predominio de París, Milán y Nueva York está siendo claramente desterrado por una nueva tribu de talentosos diseñadores que emergen de todos los continentes y cuyas creaciones son las más apreciadas en sus ciudades originarias. El más reciente boom de diseño es la ciudad de Reykjavik, cuya moda es la expresión visual de la cojonuda energía de sus ciudadanos, la vestimenta protectora, las fiestas de toda la noche y, sobre todo, la incomparablemente audaz belleza de sus  excéntricas mujeres.</p>
<p>La mayor parte de las fotos de la moda se hacen en buhardillas del East Village o ante la Torre Eiffel en París o en una callejuela de Hackney para impresionar a los lectores con una supuesta frescura. Error garrafal. Para apoyar nuestra nueva era de la moda regional –donde imaginativos diseñadores están surgiendo en todas partes, desde Tbilisi y Riga hasta Río y Reykjavik –es necesario ver a estos nuevos talentos en su verdadero contexto. Por eso, recurrir a la belleza autóctona de Islandia, a su fingido drama, a sus cielos turbulentos, a su accidentada topografía, hace su sastrería de vanguardia y la incendiaria belleza de sus mujeres  tanto más atractiva y mejor.</p>
<p>Estas dramáticas tomas de Dreamland Journey  nunca caen en el clásico error de pretender ser más de lo que son. Por el contrario, Dreamland Journey es un reflejo vivo y honesto del original y terrenal salero que tiene esta rara joya de una isla encerrada en la turbulencia y la bruma del Atlántico Norte.</p>
<p>No es de extrañar que el fotógrafo Erez Sebag y la estilista Edda Gudmundsdottir, durante su estadía en Islandia, salieran de la capital y fueran a la ciudad más meridional del país, Vik I Myrdal, cuya negra arena de basalto de la playa es azotada por gigantescas olas atlánticas.</p>
<p>Sus dedos de roca basáltica convertidos en acantilados gigantes fueron el escenario ideal para la gráfica elegancia de los más energéticos diseñadores del país: Hildur Yeoman y Mundi.</p>
<p>Esta primavera, en mi primer viaje a la increíble Reykjavik y su festival anual de la moda, me encontré con Hildur Yeoman, en cuyo estelar mostró una brillante versión en vivo del clásico Xanadú de Olivia Newtown Jones. Instalado en Harpa, el hermoso complejo de teatro y conciertos  ubicado en Old Port, la criatura tribal de Yeoman, venida del norte para acudir a un pícaro bar noctámbulo, fue un espectáculo brillante.</p>
<p>Y también lo fue el radiante y grandioso espectáculo de Mundi, que se desarrolló en el estacionamiento subterráneo de Harpa con una colección post-Armageddon, donde el blanco y negro de la lencería lucía elegante y práctico, aunque lo suficientemente chic como para derretir el viento helado de la calle. Un hermoso video de Mundi presentaba la vestimenta actual que lucían las modelos en los asombrosos terrenos de lava de Elliaarhraun, en una escena con el rapado Aron Bergmann Magnusson en su papel estelar, mientras bellezas de mandíbulas cinceladas participaban en rituales extraños bebiendo sangre azul. Justamente del tipo en que encantadoras poetas irlandesas quieren llevar a casa para saludar a su madre en el almuerzo dominical. No es de extrañar que Mundi y Aron se hicieran buenos compinches, dos atrevidos “dandis” con suficiente estilo y capacidad alcohólica como para beber con un escritor irlandés. Nuestro Dreamland Journey se localizó en torno a la apartada granja de Mundi, que para Islandia equivale a lo que la mansión de Biarritz de Karl o el palazzo via Gesu de Donatella son para su cultura -lo máximo.</p>
<p>No fueron los únicos diseñadores que se sintieron atraídos por el aspecto de la mujer islandesa y su hermosa y suave mirada, aunque decidida expresión. No pude sino admirar a Ziska por Harpa Einarsdottir, una exótica artista local, cuya mezcla de calvo roquero nórdico, leyendas místicas, falsos tatuajes vikingos y espectaculares diseños a crochet en lana negra eran increíblemente frescos y originales. Y luego estaba Kormaks &amp; Skjoldur, un caballeroso dúo cuya tienda se encuentra en el principal centro comercial de la ciudad, Kjorgardur. En las fiestas en los parajes montañosos y las cenas regadas de whisky se le considera de una elegancia patricia, en otras palabras, un infaltable islandés.</p>
<p>La elegancia de Reykjavik  tiene que ver con fiestas totalmente en la onda, estilizadas bellezas locales, brillantes atardeceres color rosa, plateados amaneceres y formas escarpadas, las que se aprecian mejor en estas tomas de Dreamland Journey. Como pueden ver, adoré Islandia, siempre estravagante pero a la vez fiel a sí misma. Deseo que permanezca así por mucho tiempo y que nuestro universo de la moda descubra este helado paraíso del norte.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>#English|By <strong>Russell Kleyn, </strong>text by<strong> Ria Hall<br />
</strong></p>
<p>My name is Ria Hall. I am of Maori decent, raised on the east coast of the North Island in the city of Tauranga. I have strong Scottish and English ancestry through my mother, and French ancestry through my father. My tribal affiliations (or iwi) are to the 2 main tribes within Tauranga, Ngati Ranginui and Ngai Te Rangi. My parents are also from a number of other North Island iwi, namely Te Whanau a Apanui, Ngati Porou, Waikato and Ngati Tuwharetoa.</p>
<p>I feel very fortunate to have been raised in my tribal area. I grew up living near my marae &#8211; which for Maori is the focal point of our tribal communities. I was versed from a young age in the stories and histories of my people. Tribal folklore was a part of every day life, and gave us all subconsciously a great sense of belonging. In our community of Maungatapu, a small suburb in Tauranga, my older sisters and I were raised around our cousins, aunties, uncles and elders who consequently all lived on the same street, so I always felt very safe in my neighbourhood. In 1985 at age 2, I was a part of a historical Maori language movement known as ‘Te Kohanga Reo’ or ‘The Language Nest’ where pre-school aged children began learning our native language, as there was a great fear amongst our elders that our language was in dire straits.</p>
<p>Because of my upbringing, my culture informs everything that I do. I am an avid supporter of the te reo Maori movement (Maori language movement), a strong advocate and performer of traditional Maori performing Arts (otherwise known as ‘Kapa Haka’ which means to ‘stand in rank’) and a tutor of Kapa Haka at secondary school level. My music reflects all of these elements, and fused with modern beat, hip-hop and roots influences presents a very strong case musically. My songs make reference to social commentary and the state of our nation (New Zealand) touching on how important it is that we come together as a people in order to move forward in a positive way, making Aotearoa the country we wish it to be for our children.</p>
<p>It has been proven that Maori children who participate in cultural activities such as Kapa Haka are more likely to succeed academically, move through to university, and become well-rounded members of society. I believe it is my duty to provide youth with the opportunity to learn about their culture, their language, and to be proud of being Maori. It is the birthright of our children to have access to their culture. And it is my absolute honour to be able to tutor the youth in my community in Wellington. If anything, they have taught me!</p>

<p>Me siento muy afortunada por haber crecido en mi área tribal, viviendo cerca de mi marae –que para los maoríes es el punto central de nuestras comunidades tribales. Desde mis primeros años, me enseñaron las historias y leyendas de mi pueblo. El folklore tribal formaba parte de la vida cotidiana y nos dio un profundo sentido de pertenencia. En nuestra comunidad de Maungatapu, un pequeño barrio de Tauranga, mis hermanas mayores y yo crecimos entre nuestros primos, nuestros tíos y tías y nuestros mayores, quienes vivían en la misma calle, por lo que me sentí siempre muy segura en mi barrio. En 1985, a los dos años, participé en el histórico  movimiento lingüístico  maorí conocido como ‘Te Kohanga Reo’ o ‘El nido de la lengua’, donde los niños de pre primaria empiezan a aprender su idioma nativo. Entre nuestros antepasados existía el temor de que nuestro idioma pudiera desaparecer.</p>
<p>Por mi educación, acostumbro comunicar todo lo que hago. Soy una entusiasta seguidora del movimiento maorí Te Reo (movimiento de la lengua maorí), sostenedora e intérprete de las artes de la representación (también conocidas como ‘Kapa Haka’ que significa  ‘hacer una fila’) y profesora de Kapa Haka en la escuela secundaria. Mi música refleja todos estos elementos, combinada con el beat moderno, el hip-hop e influencias tradicionales, constituyendo un fuerte acerbo musical. Mis canciones hacen referencia a aspectos sociales y al estado  de nuestro país (Nueva Zelanda), poniendo énfasis en lo importante que es nuestra unidad como pueblo para avanzar, haciendo de Aotearoa el país que deseamos para nuestros hijos.</p>
<p>Se ha demostrado que los niños maoríes que participan en actividades culturales como el Kapa Haka tienen más posibilidades de éxito académico, de llegar a la universidad y convertirse en apreciados miembros de la sociedad. Creo que es mi deber entregar a los jóvenes la oportunidad de aprender acerca de su cultura, de su lengua, y de sentirse orgullosos de ser maoríes. Es un derecho natural de nuestros niños el tener acceso a su cultura. Y me siento honrada de poder guiar a la juventud.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>#English|By <strong>Stephanie Black</strong></p>
<p><strong>Text by The Big Report Editors</strong></p>
<p>2012 is a big year for Jamaica.  The powerhouse nation is celebrating its 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Independence and dominating the Track and Field lanes of the World Games in tandem.  Olympic “world boss” Usain St. Leo Bolt made sure to bring home the gold once again as a special “Jamaica 50” anniversary gift – while Yohan Blake took the silver – proving that if Beijing was a takeover, London is a takedown. And yet, with so many reasons to raise the black, gold and green high, there are still so many unanswered questions about what the future holds for this uncommonly iconic place.</p>
<p>Released in 2001, Stephanie Black&#8217;s film “Life &amp; Debt” is an on-the-ground, of-the-people commentary that tells the story of individuals whose strategies for survival and day-to-day existence are determined by the U.S. and other foreign economic agendas.   As we learn in the film, former Prime Minister Michael Manley was elected on a non-IMF platform in 1976, but subsequently forced to sign Jamaica&#8217;s first loan agreement with the IMF in 1977 due to lack of viable alternatives. And more than three decades later, the IMF contract is once again being renewed.</p>
<p>Narrated through excerpts from Jamaica Kincaid’s award-winning non-fiction text &#8220;A Small Place,” “Life &amp; Debt” is an emotive and revealing panorama. It is a labour of love dedicated to the heart and soil of Jamaica, or to quote Michael Manley “to an honorable Jamaica, based on principle, sovereignty, pride and dignity.”  As Buju Banton sings in one compelling excerpt, “The rich man’s wealth is in the city.  Destruction of the poor is our poverty. Destruction of our soul is vanity. Well, do you hear? I’n’I, we wanna rule our destiny.”</p>
<p>As Jamaica celebrates 50 years of Independence, embarks on signing yet another IMF agreement and tries to find its stability in an unlevel and often corrupt globalized economy, &#8220;Life &amp; Debt&#8221; remains an important and timely reminder of the work that lies ahead.  The fact that on the eve of its 50<sup>th</sup>, Jamaica celebrated two of the fastest men in the world and two of the three fastest women amidst strong competition from large countries like the U.S., China and the continent of Europe, is proof positive that there is little to hold back this nation whose unsurpassed talent and indomitable legacy is setting the world on fire. <a href="http://www.lifeanddebt.org/" target="_blank">http://www.lifeanddebt.org/</a></p>
