Elsa Schiaparelli is regarded as one of the most important artist-couturiers and taste-makers of the 20th century. A genuine influence on the style of her times, she numbered among her collaborators and friends the artists Pablo #Picasso, Salvador #Dali, Jean #Cocteau, Christian #Bérard and Marcel #Vertès. She was an early client of the important modernist decorator #Jean- MichelFranck who decorated her salons for her using #Giacometti lamps from him. Here, with a text on her memories of her beloved grandmother by the international film star Marisa Berenson, is Schiaparellis own album of photographs of her life starting in Italy when we see her as a very young girl in the early 20th Century. We meet the people she knew, we see round the houses she lived in, the parties she gave and we can read her witty writings, some translated from the original French or Italian, some in English, many in facsimile. Ninety per cent of the photographs in this book have never been seen in public before, nor published. They are original studio proof prints by giants of 20th-century photography such as Man Ray, #Hoyningen-Huene, #Horst, Andre Durst, Madame d’Ora, Baron #deMeyer and other notable photographers of the time. None of the writings have been previously published.

Marketing is everywhere making you do and #buy things because you think you want them. When really, your wants are #programmed by taste makers using psychology and assorted trickery. This is an old ad remixed to be transparent as to what and how they peddle. Never believe the hype. Modern media is only more nuanced and refined than this: thin - long lasting film of nasty chemicals.

Julia possessed a unique qualification that allowed her to be a great teacher of French cooking for Americans: She carried no threat of the outsider. As Julia's fame grew, she understood that her American origins were a crucial component of why viewers listened to her.

Mayukh Sen, "Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America"

[jennamacaroni]

Not everyone watched Julia on television because they wanted to cook. Many just wanted to watch her. Julia turned cooking into theater. Television put Julia's very American appeal on full display: her charm, her gaiety. Among Julia's most vital gifts was her ability to laugh at herself, as in one of her most enduring moments on television, when she half-heartedly tried flipping potatoes in a pan, only for most of them to spill onto the stove. She reassured viewers that they could always pick the potatoes up and put them back in the pan. Besides, if they were alone in the kitchen, who would even see?
