• Because she keeps it simple...

  Agnes b

  13 July 2005

  This logo to me, is a love signature that says "I care for you!" When I enter the shop, all of the products are of exceptional quality but I'm not so sure about the black and pastel colours. I dont know exactly what makes it exceptional except...well, maybe less is more I guess. There are many choices to make before I can find that perfectly cut piece of fabric, but once I've found it, it will barely leave my side. My mum bought me an Agnès B pullover in 1989, I guess now this garment still remains somewhere in another family's home. I've nominated Agnès B as a Lovemark because she keeps it simple.

• Monet's Gare Saint-Lazare in the mist at 6am

  Paris

  28 November 2006

  Romantic? Architectural? Historical? Fashionable? Finest? Many words to qualify Paris, none of them expresses the reasons for my emotional link to this city. I love Paris because it’s grey - then it rains and the drains leave marks on the painted walls. I love Paris because of its hidden places, because it’s genuine. You can find rats and visit the catacombs. The unbearable noise of the Metro makes you drowsy after work. Because there is something secret about taking a cab, being lost in the crowded Place de l’Opera, a losing-meeting point. I love the railway stations with the chimneys. Paris is, before all, a realistic chunk of cloud. It makes you nostalgic. It’s pure poetry. It is Monet’s Gare Saint-Lazare in the mist at 6am.
