Dopo il tour de force del Salone e del Fuori Salone cosa c'è di meglio di un rilassante week-end in Costa Azzurra,a Hyeres per il Festival de la Mode et de la Photographie (27-30 Aprile, 2007).
Il Festival si tiene nella bellissima Villa Noailles costruita da Robert Mallet-Stevens negli anni '30 sulla collina di Hyeres: è un posto favoloso! L'atmosfera del Festival è molto rilassata, con gente interessante da conoscere e soprattutto i designers che partecipano ad Hyeres sono sempre talentuosi. Non dimentichiamo che è stato il Festival d'Hyeres a lanciare designers come Viktor and Rolf,Alexandre Mathieu,Felipe Oliveira Baptista,Jamin Puech,Gaspard Yurkievitch e molti altri. Ed i fotografi non sono da meno!


After Salone del Mobile and Fuori Salone that are interesting, but not so much relaxing, a week-end to plan for chill-out is at Hyeres for the XXII edition of the Festival de la Mode et de la Photographie (April 27-30, 2007).
The Festival is at Villa Noailles , a beautiful villa built by Robert Mallet-Stevens in the '30 on the hill of Hyeres. The atmosphere of the festival is very relaxed, with interesting people to meet and, above all, talented young designers and photographs to see.
Remember that from the last editions of Hyeres Festival came out talented fashion designers like Viktor and Rolf, Alexandre Mathieu, Felipe Oliveira Baptista,Jamin Puech, Gaspard Yurkievitch and many others.
