Working 60 hours a week got me feeling like…

In capsule 3, Mosaert’s moved away from Stromae’s formal stage style and given us something more casual. Instead of polos and cardigans, there are collared t-shirts, and soft-touch velvet sweatshirts and jogging pants. The new designs feature geometric birds and pixelated roses, recalling the songs Carmen and Ave Cesaria. I’m in love with the rich colors on the velvet pieces!

The collection is pricey, due in part to the clothes being manufactured in Europe. When you buy Mosaert, you support workers making a fair wage.

Once again, all pieces were produced in limited quantities. So check it out now at store.mosaert.com!

[sinflowwer]

what abs tho he himself said in that one interview that when in France i think fans yell “naked” at shows and he’s like?????????????????? why would you want me naked there’s nothing to see??? im so skinny?

someone explain pls

Stromae has said many times that he was very self-conscious about his body growing up, and he jokes about it as a defense against his own insecurity. And this isn’t him just being insecure, he really is that thin. If you’ve ever met him or paid close attention to the Formidable video, you know what I mean. Believe it or not, in most videos he looks bigger than he really is because of the way the camera & lighting can add the appearance of 10-15 lbs to a person.

Stromae’s really skinny, and many of us assume skinny = weak. But those abs you see in that glorious picture above aren’t painted on…that’s all him, just sitting in a way to show off muscles that aren’t always obvious on his body type. Because of the way he’s built, he’ll never look “buff,” but if you’ve seen his show, you know how he keeps moving and jumping for up to 2 hours. His dancing takes a huge amount of strength and stamina, something only a performer at the top of his game could do night after night for 2 solid years of touring. Dude is FIT.

There are a few pictures out there that show how muscular he is; I’ll try to compile a collection soon.

Here’s a funny, catchy French tune about a barman plagued by difficult customers. At the 1:30 mark, we see a Stromae lookalike dancing drunkenly on a table. Here’s the verse that goes along:

Et là d’un coup un homme monte sur la table Avec son accent bizarre il nous traite de macaques Il nous dit qu’à l’époque il était formidable Puis il tombe dans mes bras en pleurant qu’il est fort minable

And all of a sudden a man gets on the table With his bizarre accent he claims we’re macaques He tells us in the old days he was formidable Then he falls into my arms crying that he’s so pathetic

Thanks to Amy Harris Van Vranken for the translation!

I like this a lot, it simultaneously captures Stromae’s melancholy and cynicism.

Stromae just confirmed on Twitter that he’ll return to the US in September, and he’s added some great opening acts!
