The Collection on Masterpiece PBS is the best series you're going to see this year that you don't know about yet. Peachy loves Paris in February 1947, even though she wasn't born yet. The last time Peachy Deegan watched an entire series TWICE was years ago and it was a show no one in America had started watching yet at the time, Downton Abbey (we reviewed it on tv as well as dvd). We like The Collection just as much as we liked Downton Abbey, and maybe even more as no one yet has said every day involves a fight with an American.
The Collection is multiple-level surreptitious and winds you in several layers of drama from the start. During the entirety of the series there is no slow point and if you think it is slowing down it is only going to be crescendo/decrescendo when you go back and look at it. This is not a series that you casually watch while multi-tasking because you are prone to miss something key. It is deserving of every second of your attention. What is Paul Sabine capable of, for better or worse? You will be entertained, intrigued and enlightened by The Collection. It's written at a high level and every aspect is intelligent.
Style has never been better in a tv drama, and we liked the art-deco influences tremendously. The cinematography is phenomenal and the camera-shot perspective is highly laudable. We like that they included a hair stylist in the cast. (Edward Tricomi has earned our highest recommendation.) Since we have known it, fashion has always been cut throat and as total capitalists appreciating competition, we love it that way. We actually even loved the music.
Dream sequences were strong in particular and every shot of every minute is well-thought out and edited tightly.
The strongest actors by far are the family trio of brothers Paul Sabine (brilliant businessman), played by Richard Coyle, Claude Sabine (creative chaotic), played by Tom Riley, and their horrific mother, Yvette Sabine, played by Frances De La Tour. Blood is thicker than water...to a degree. Sometimes. The conniving mother is the perfect stage mother gone bad, and De La Tour executes this performance in amazing fashion. With all due respect to Maggie Smith, Frances is absolutely the new Dowager Countess.
Frances's Twitter picture-not what she looks like in the show
We wanted to visually include her as she is triumphant!
"Paris is paradise. This is purgatory."
"Her first husband died. I met her. It was his only escape."
The epitome of annoying, Yvette Sabine by Frances has stellar delivery of lines, especially to Helen and Charlotte. They will be the highlight of your life for weeks. You can only dream of coming up with phrases so cutting! Constantly she is in everyone else's business and you will be so glad you are not related to this character.
Who is the talent behind the designs? We won't give it away totally, but it is not all that meets the eye in The Collection so pay close attention. Paul is a believable charmer with sage statements, and is open to interviews with American journalists that have much more sinister motivations than we ever have had, namely Stan Rossi. Watch out for him and remember this is only fiction! The constant bickering between brothers is pure television gold, as it elevates to matters of life and death. Remember, good taste can happen to bad people.
Coyle as Paul portrays terrific sense of frustration with his brother Claude's total inability to see which side his bread is buttered on and his constant attempts to rein in his brother are highly entertaining. We do like that they are independent and do not include a PR firm in any regard which is key to fashion success. The business of fashion versus the creative aspects are in constant battle, creating further entertainment for the audience. Paul knows that you should save your energy for the fights that you can win.
Some of the casting and ultimately, the acting is not as phenomenal as these three, whom we thought were by far the best. There was not a weak link; all were good. We did find it interesting that there is a mix of British, French and American actors and liked that.
The Collection spans the spectrum of human emotion, and is unafraid to go to the dark side. The underworld of gay sex, darkness and violence is captured well, and we perceive it to be accurate but do not know this world.
Every aspect of the visual is tremendously superlative from the set to the fashion to the color combination evocative of phenomenal mood creativity. Claude, we want your apartment in Paris with the light, the view and the Tiffany blue tub. Our one criticism would be that the cars, although stunning, do seem to be created before 1947. Of course, WWII had effects on car sales and distribution. Also, the poor bunnies in the backyard and doorstep hopefully will have a better day in the sun on an upcoming season we hope.
Not only is this the smartest script we've seen in ages, but also it has some of the best acting by people we have never seen before or heard of, a total rarity. Maybe we should know Mamie Gummer as she also is a Connecticut girl and attended Miss Porter's (Peachy is an ancient; Peachy graduated, was a four-year senior and was elected to a term on the Alumnae Board) but we do not know her. We loved the darkroom scenes and will never forget Lucy Byrd Pegau's instruction on how to differentiate chemicals!
The question is not IF there is going to be a season two: the question is: WHEN may we view it? It would be a monumental mistake if there is not a second series.
The only thing that is missing is an actual Paul Sabine store where you can shop after you watch the show, but maybe they will come up with that after this airs on PBS.
The Collection's Inaugural season is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.
If you worked on this, we want to hear from you directly please! peachydeegan@gmail

World War II is over and stylish clothes are back as Paris recovers from the horrors of the Nazi occupation. Richard Coyle (The Fall), Mamie Gummer (The Good Wife), and Tom Riley (Da Vinci's Demons) star as a family struggling to build a fashion empire at any cost, on The Collection, airing in seven gripping and gorgeous episodes on MASTERPIECE on PBS Sundays October 8 – November 19, 2017 at the special time of 10pm ET.
Focusing on the Sabine family, composed of business-savvy Paul (Coyle), his wealthy American wife, Helen (Gummer), and his brilliant but dissipated designer brother, Claude (Riley), The Collection also stars Frances de la Tour (Harry Potter) as Paul and Claude’s overbearing mother, Yvette, who will stop at nothing to advance her boys’ careers—often to their dismay.
The series also features Jenna Thiam (The Returned) as Nina, the seamstress with a secret and a future in modelling; Max Deacon (Hatfields & McCoys) as Billy, an American photojournalist on a mission to record the vitality of postwar Paris; Alix Poisson (Last Love) as Charlotte, the ambitious head saleswoman at the Sabine studio; and featuring Michael Kitchen (Foyle’s War) as Paul’s mentor, Frederic Lemaire.
Set in 1947, The Collection captures a turbulent era in French history, when partisans hunted down Nazi collaborators and anyone with something to hide shunned the past and embraced the future. Fashion became the perfect expression of this impulse to look ahead. Wartime rationing, drabness, and erotic restraint gave way to alluring displays of color, form, and fabric in women’s clothes—for those who could afford them.
In The Collection, the Sabine family firm is at the forefront of this exciting but ruthless pursuit, and Paul has been chosen by the French government to lead the battle to reclaim the nation’s preeminence in the couture world. Widely regarded as the genius behind his studio’s stunning designs, Paul is in fact purveying the work of his brother, Claude, an unbridled sensualist who can’t restrain his amorous impulses. In free moments, Claude works in a frenzy to sketch new gowns, often consigning them to the wastebasket, where they are retrieved and turned into the Sabine collection’s latest sensations.
Into this superficially elegant universe comes hard-boiled American reporter Stan Rossi (Stanley Townsend, The Tunnel) with suspicions about Paul’s past, but so far little to go on. Assigned to photograph a fashion story for Rossi, Billy soon parts company to become the Sabine studio’s official photographer. In the process, he elevates the worker Nina to be the signature model for the firm—much to the chagrin of the reigning top model, Dominique (Poppy Corby-Tuech, The Royals), who plots revenge.
Adding to the turmoil, police Inspector Bompard (Allan Corduner, Homeland) enters the picture when Yvette’s scheme to get Claude under control goes horribly awry, leading to an investigation that threatens the entire Sabine enterprise.
Who knew that couture could be so cutthroat?
The Collection is a Lookout Point and Artis Pictures Production co-produced with Amazon Studios, Federation Entertainment, MFP and MASTERPIECE with the participation of France Télévisions and BBC Worldwide Ltd. It was producd in Wales and France with the support of Welsh Government, Pinewood Studios and the CNC. The creator is Oliver Goldstick. The directors are Dearbhla Walsh and Dan Zeff.

Discovery Communications and Eurosport, the Home of the Olympics in Europe, congratulated the Paris 2024 Olympic Bid Committee on its successful campaign that will see the capital city of France host the 2024 Olympic Games.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted a press presentation on Monday, March 6, at Pavillon Vendôme in Paris, France to reveal early details about The Costume Institute's upcoming exhibition, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between, opening on May 4. Rei Kawakubo and Anna Wintour joined Museum Deputy Director Carrie Rebora Barratt and Costume Institute Curator in Charge Andrew Bolton for a glimpse of some of the ensembles to be featured in the exhibition, on view May 4-September 4, 2017, at The Met in New York City.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute spring 2017 exhibition, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between, on view from May 4 through September 4, will examine Kawakubo’s fascination with interstitiality, or the space between boundaries. This in-between space is revealed in Kawakubo’s work as an aesthetic sensibility, establishing an unsettling zone of oscillating visual ambiguity that challenges conventional notions of beauty, good taste, and fashionability. Not a traditional retrospective, this thematic exhibition will be The Costume Institute’s first monographic show on a living designer since the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in 1983.
“In blurring the art/fashion divide, Kawakubo asks us to think differently about clothing,” said Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of The Met. “Curator Andrew Bolton will explore work that often looks like sculpture in an exhibition that will challenge our ideas about fashion’s role in contemporary culture.”
In celebration of the opening, The Met's Costume Institute Benefit, also known as The Met Gala, will take place on Monday, May 1, 2017. The evening’s co-chairs will be Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, and Anna Wintour. Rei Kawakubo and Ambassador Caroline Kennedy will serve as Honorary Chairs. The event is The Costume Institute’s main source of annual funding for exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, and capital improvements.
“Rei Kawakubo is one of the most important and influential designers of the past 40 years,” said Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute. “By inviting us to rethink fashion as a site of constant creation, recreation, and hybridity, she has defined the aesthetics of our time.”
Rei Kawakubo said, “I have always pursued a new way of thinking about design...by denying established values, conventions, and what is generally accepted as the norm. And the modes of expression that have always been most important to me are fusion...imbalance... unfinished... elimination...and absence of intent.”
Exhibition Overview
The exhibition will feature approximately 150 examples of Kawakubo’s womenswear designs for Comme des Garçons, dating from the early 1980s to her most recent collection. Objects will be organized into eight dominant and recurring aesthetic expressions of interstitiality in Kawakubo’s work: Fashion/Anti-Fashion, Design/Not Design, Model/Multiple, Then/Now, High/Low, Self/Other, Object/Subject, and Clothes/Not Clothes. Kawakubo breaks down the imaginary walls between these dualisms, exposing their artificiality and arbitrariness. Her fashions demonstrate that interstices are places of meaningful connection and coexistence as well as revolutionary innovation and transformation, providing Kawakubo with endless possibilities to rethink the female body and feminine identity.
Exhibition Credits
The exhibition will be curated by Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, who will collaborate on the exhibition design with Rei Kawakubo. Lighting for the exhibition will be created by Thierry Dreyfus @ Eyesight Group. The design for the 2017 Costume Institute Benefit will be created by Nathan Crowley with Raul Avila, who has produced the Benefit décor since 2007.
Special thanks to Apple, Condé Nast, Farfetch, H&M, Maison Valentino, and Warner Bros. for their support of the exhibition and benefit.
Related Content
A publication, authored by Andrew Bolton and designed by Fabien Baron, will accompany the exhibition. It will be published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and distributed by Yale University Press.
The exhibition and gala will be featured on the Museum’s website, as well as on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter via #MetKawakubo, #CostumeInstitute, and #MetGala.

Barbie Exhibition at Musee des Arts décoratifs (Paris) March 10 – September 18, 2016 Our Coverage Sponsored by Paul Mayer Attitudes
Paul Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs keep women coming back for multiple -- even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet contemporary and always comfortable, his shoes are an addiction that we highly recommend. A staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat, with true ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of colors and materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent infused soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's designs emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the most incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear because we know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Mayer founded the brand in 2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are manufactured in Spain’s Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a skilled staff of 12 artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world attention to detail that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching as well as custom tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each retailer’s specific demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders completed in an unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks. When not in New York, Paul can be found traveling to his myriad of stores across the country meeting his loyal clientele or vacationing in his favorite spot, the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach.
Paul Mayer is a Mover and Shaker:

From the moment Barbie was introduced to the world, a fashion icon was born. Since her debut in 1959, Barbie has served as a model and muse to the most world renowned names in fashion and the arts. She provides the ultimate canvas for their imaginations, to identify and play out their dreams. Today, she continues to be at the center of pop culture, reflecting the times and inspiring conversation.
In 2016, Barbie is being honoured by museums around the world including the Musee des Arts décoratifs in Paris, paying tribute to this iconic doll whose story has made an indelible mark on the socio-cultural history of toys in the 20th and 21st Centuries. Drawing on Mattel archives which include over 700 dolls and work by contemporary artists and designers, the exhibition highlights the historical heritage of Barbie for both adults and children. More than just a toy, Barbie has mirrored a culture and its evolution.
Throughout her history she has adapted to social, political and cultural changes and evolved, embracing new trends and challenging stereotypes, always embracing the dreams and ambitions of contemporary life for the next generation of girls.
Barbie has always given girl’s choices – from her 180 careers, to inspirational roles, to her countless fashions and accessories. And earlier this year Mattel literally changed the face of the brand with a range of new dolls represent the world girls see around them with variety in body type, skin tones and style allowing girls to find a doll that speaks to them.
The newest generations of girls know there’s nothing they can’t do, and they’ve never been told otherwise. They have the confidence to try new things, take risks, and stand out among their peers. Barbie supports this empowered thinking, and reinforces it with every doll that is made — from Computer Engineer Barbie to Princess Power Barbie. Because when girls grow up in a world without limitations, they will show us that anything really is possible.

Today the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)™, formerly the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, announced the return of its CES Unveiled event series to France for a fourth consecutive CES Unveiled Paris and a debut event, CES Unveiled Prague. These two events, uniting innovative technology companies, top members of the press, industry analysts, buyers and key consumer technology influencers, will serve as a prelude to the innovation that will be showcased at CES® 2017 . Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association, CES is the global stage for innovation and will run January 5-8, 2017.
This year's CES Unveiled events series will kick off with CES Unveiled Prague on Thursday, October 20 followed by CES Unveiled Paris on Tuesday, October 25. Breaking CES news and global market research will headline conference programming during this half day event, followed by a tabletop exhibition networking reception. Technology influencers and media will see and interact with the ground-breaking innovation coming from global brands and startups alike.
"Every year we assess the global technology landscape in target markets when deciding where to host our CES Unveiled events abroad, and the entrepreneurial spirit that France brings to the tech eco-system through its innovation cities and startup parks makes it easy for us to come back to Paris year after year," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Technology Association. "Last year we had a crowded sold out exhibit area in Paris, and this year we are adding Prague to the lineup to serve as a hub for the Eastern and Central European market, it's a promising city with close proximity to other technology hotbeds and we look forward to seeing what this region will present at this year's events."
CES Unveiled events provide exhibitors, top tier media and leaders in the tech space the opportunity to come together in different cities around the world to make strategic connections around the latest technologies. These events give exhibitors the exposure and necessary momentum leading up to CES in Las Vegas.
French companies at CES have tripled over the last two years, from 71 exhibitors in 2014 to 216 in 2016. France has the leading number of startups outside the U.S. in Eureka Park™, the startup destination at CES, representing 28 percent of marketplace exhibitors.
CES Unveiled Prague will provide innovative companies from across Europe the opportunity to showcase their cutting-edge technology to top tier media and stand out amongst the CES elite.
CES Unveiled Paris and Prague join domestic CES Unveiled events in New York and Las Vegas. Companies interested in exhibiting in any CES Unveiled event, Aurelie Cornett at acornett@CE.org or 703.907.5245.

LONDON show ROOMS AW16 #LONDONshowROOMS 2nd - 9th March 2016 Our Coverage Sponsored by Paul Mayer Attitudes
Paul Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs
keep women coming back for multiple -- even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet
contemporary and always comfortable, his shoes are an addiction that we highly
recommend. A staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat,
with true ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of
colors and materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent
infused soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's
designs emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the
most incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear
because we know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Mayer founded the
brand in 2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are manufactured
in Spain’s Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a skilled staff of
12 artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world attention to
detail that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching as well as
custom tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each retailer’s
specific demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders completed
in an unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks. When not in New York, Paul can be found
traveling to his myriad of stores across the country meeting his loyal
clientele or vacationing in his favorite spot, the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki
Beach.
Paul Mayer is a Mover and Shaker:
