By sculpting the female figure with precise cuts, the french designer Jérôme Blin embodies a vision of fashion where each creation is an artistic exploration, a textile narrative that celebrates individuality and history. An excellence “Made In France”.

JEROME BLIN

Originally from Dinan in Brittany, Jérôme Blin, with his atypical artistic background, moved to Paris in 2022 and turned to Couture to become a singular French fashion designer.

Recognized by his peers for his unique pieces blending Couture, art and historical narrative. This artisan of French fashion perpetuates his innovative creations and designs that transcend trends to become true works of art.

In his sublime and intimate Parisian atelier-showroom, nestled in the heart of Ile St Louis, the discreet designer exhibits his elegantly structured works. This universe, in his image, is a true marvel for our eyes. Gentle details, timeless inspiration... we fall under the spell of his sublime contemporary creations and are quickly captivated by the personality of the owner.

Simplicity, intelligence and humility are the hallmarks of this materials enthusiast.

A unique vision. Sculptural couture. A second skin. Over time, the collections gain in maturity. Each Jérôme Blin creation is a “bubble of elegance”. The artist, who likes to surround himself with French craftsmen, revisits the art of the silhouette, conceived as a textile sculpture. In this artisanal fabrication, Jérôme fuses haute couture techniques with unexpected elements, such as rigid lace with random patterns, constructed using a hot glue technique, the signature of his creations. An instinctive, singular and elegant style. Each of his timeless pieces is custom-made.

We love his softly strict, deceptively simple yet truly chic pieces. As if animated by a movement of their own, the dresses seem to caress the skin. Everything is combined and superimposed to create an extremely elaborate and singular model. As if the woman was free to tell her own story.

At his shows, the designer doesn't just present clothes; he tells a story. On March 13, 2025, the Jérôme Blin show, with its poetic scenography, took place in a magnificent, typically Parisian Hôtel Particulier on Rue de Turenne. An artistic moment where nature and beauty were everywhere. Here, we pay tribute to “The modern woman”.

An explosion of embroidery. Muses proudly paraded inspired and creative outfits, blending fashion, dance and grace. A unique show.

interview.

You live in the heart of Paris - which Parisian neighborhoods do you particularly like?

I live in ‘Ile Saint-Louis’, where I chose to set up my showroom. I love the feeling of being in the heart of historic Paris, bordered by the Seine and protected from the noise of the city. On the other hand, I also need to feel the energies of certain districts in the tenth and eighteenth arrondissements of Paris, where different cultures intermingle. ‘Place Maubert’, in the fifth arrondissement, is also a place where I like to sit on a terrace.

How would you define “The Chic Parisian Woman”?

First and foremost, she's independent. She can dare to wear a couture piece with jeans and flat shoes. With a determined stride and a slightly proud look, she treads the Parisian pavement, advocating a certain ease in her clothes, but never neglecting to highlight a part of her body... either she shows off her waistline, reveals a pretty ‘décolleté’ or shows off the curve of her calves. She never goes out without a fine piece of leather or a chic piece of jewelry to complete her look. She knows she'll be noticed for her allure and natural elegance.

Is there anywhere in France where you like to recharge your batteries?

Northern Brittany, where I come from and where everything began for me creatively. It remains the place that allows me both to clear my mind, take a break from my rhythm and recharge my batteries, surrounded by the vivid elements provided by the strong tides and the green, rustic, generous countryside.

What's the most memorable meal you've had recently? Where was it?

Bruno Verjus's TABLE was a true culinary experience. However, I highly recommend the KHANA restaurant, which offers subtle, refined Afghan cuisine.

What “dream trip” would you like to experience?

A trip around the Mediterranean Sea, feeling the character of Andalusian Spain, the vibrancy of North Africa, passing through the history imprinted in stone of the mythological Greek islands, and taking the time to appreciate the light, flavors and musicality of the Middle East. I'd also like to make a stopover in Jordan.

What's on your bedside table at the moment?

An art book on women in various mythologies... a book that is bound to inspire my future creations.

Do you have a junk drawer? What can you find there?

Fragments of my life! Francs coins received as presents from my grandmother, my bracelet from my First Communion, little lucky charms, religious medals, watches I've insisted on giving myself even though I don't wear anything on my wrists or fingers.

What's the piece of your wardrobe that you're wearing the most at the moment?

A long Vintage coat in anthracite wool, soberly personalized.

An excellence “Made In France”

JB PARIS

If you had to get rid of one piece from this same wardrobe, what would it be?

A wool sweater that fits a little too snugly, which can be a hindrance when wearing loose-fitting styles more often.

And the piece that will never leave your side?

A white cotton shirt by a designer who's gone out of business, which I wear almost religiously on certain occasions.

A color that suits you? Why?

The Red color for the forbidden and passion, and the green for nature and the field of possibilities.

Can you give us an idea of your creations for next season?

A message of anchoring and blossoming... even bolder play with materials and textures on free, uncluttered bases. To set myself new technical challenges by creating cuts that are meticulous and distinctive. Impose my signature, my even more accomplished vision of clothing. And above all, to continue to enjoy myself to the full, in complete freedom!

If you had to choose a “muse”, who would she be like?

She'd have to be free and singular, and I'm thinking of Charlotte GAINSBOURG (French actress- singer) and Penélope CRUZ.

How do you see fashion a century from now?

Objectively, I see it as technological. New materials will certainly be designed, used and exploited. As long as they retain the imprint of pure creation without resorting solely to AI.

Which fashion designers do you admire?

John Galliano's talent is undeniable and remains the benchmark for me, as his boundless creativity is underpinned by remarkable technicality. The worlds of McQueen, for his tailored cuts and rock repertoire, and Vivienne Westwood, for her unbridled fantasy, are also very inspiring to me, as is Maison Margiela, for the sobriety of its lines and its impertinent finishes.

How would you describe the current state of the fashion industry?

I'm generally optimistic by nature, but we have to admit that this industry is using increasingly abject production methods, and that profusion is favored over quality. I think it's important to suggest a different approach to clothing, one that's more reasonable and more unique. Buying a piece made from raw materials manufactured in France and bought by the metre in my case, designed in an artisanal way that respects the various parties involved, and then certifying that it will remain unique, is a positioning for which I am totally convinced and which has a bright future. The challenge is to bring a new offer rather than systematically responding to existing demand.

Do you see yourself as someone who lives and breathes fashion?

What drives me is to create wearable pieces that protect a body and highlight a personality, without necessarily shying away from trends. As it happens, this approach is part of the fashion world, but I identify much more with that of a clothing craftsman. That's where I find my inspiration...

Which country would you like to visit?

Well, I've never been to Italy but I'd love to visit Florence and the Tuscan countryside, Rome, Naples and Syracuse in Sicily.

Which culture inspires you more ?

I've been lucky enough to discover several countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East that have left indelible imprints on my creations. I feel the strength of these authentic and powerful civilizations, which systematically permeate my work and from which I draw my inspiration. I feel a kind of original vibration.

Through an exceptional collection of nearly 230 works, "L'art est dans la rue" explores the spectacular rise of the illustrated poster in Paris during the second half of the 19th century. Organized in partnership with the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the exhibition is the first of its kind on this scale. In fact, no major event in Paris has ever been devoted to this social phenomenon, bringing together so many outstanding works by the "Masters of the Poster". Bonnard, Chéret, Grasset, Mucha, Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec... Conceived as an immersion into the visual universe of the 19th century city, the exhibition traces the golden age of the artistic poster, analyzing the social and cultural changes that favored its development, in dialogue with a unique collection of posters, paintings, photographs, costumes, sculptures and decorative objects that evoke the exuberant world of the street at the turn of the century.

The Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci (Cenacolo Vinciano) is one of the most famous paintings in the world. This artwork was painted between 1494 and 1498 under the government of Ludovico il Moro and represents the last "dinner" between Jesus and his disciples.

In order to create this unique work, Leonardo carried out an exhaustive research creating an infinity of preparatory sketches. Leonardo abandons the traditional method of fresco painting, painting the scene "dry" on the wall of the refectory. Traces of gold and silver foils have been found which testify to the artist's willingness to make the figures in a much more realistic manner, including precious details. After completion, his technique and environmental factor had contributed to the eventual deterioration of the fresco, which had undergone numerous restorations.

The most recent restoration was completed in 1999 where several scientific methods were used to restore the original colors as close as possible, and to eliminate traces of paint applied in previous attempts to restore the fresco.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, which held its fourth annual gala tonight, raised over $11 million to support the museum’s exhibitions, education initiatives, and public programming, including screenings, K-12 programs, and access initiatives in service of the general public and the local community of Los Angeles. Dedicated to the arts, sciences, and artists of moviemaking, the gala was generously presented in partnership with Rolex—Founding Supporter and Official Watch Partner of the Academy Museum. The company has been with the museum since the beginning. Its recognition of excellence and achievement in cinema is the basis of its long partnership with the Academy. The gala was co-chaired by Academy Museum Trustee, physician, producer, philanthropist, and entrepreneur Dr. Eric Esrailian; OscarⓇ-nominated actress, producer, director, and activist Salma Hayek Pinault; Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman; Academy Museum Trustee and actress, director, producer, and activist Eva Longoria; and Academy Museum Founding Supporter, Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award winner, actor, filmmaker, and studio founder Tyler Perry.

The celebratory evening, commemorating the acclaimed museum’s three-year anniversary, was a star-studded affair that honored three Hollywood icons for their contributions to film both past and present. Gala co-chair Eva Longoria kicked off the programming for the evening, introducing Director and President of the Academy Museum, Amy Homma, who welcomed guests to the special fundraiser event before introducing the first presenter of the night. Three-time Oscar-winning Director and 23-time nominee, Steven Spielberg presented the Icon Award to Oscar-winning actress, singer, and dancer Rita Moreno. After the dinner service, Colman Domingo made his way to the stage to welcome the next presenter, four-time Oscar-nominee Saoirse Ronan, who presented friend and recent co-star, Oscar-nominated actor Paul Mescal with the Vantage Award. The Luminary Award was presented by two-time Oscar nominee and long-time collaborator, John Travolta to two-time Oscar-winning and six-time Oscar-nominated writer and director Quentin Tarantino.

Before the night was over, Ariana Grande closed out the evening with a heartfelt introduction to co-star Cynthia Erivo, who treated guests to a surprise musical performance, singing “I’m Here,” from The Color Purple, Diana Ross’s “Home” from The Wiz (1978)," “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz (1939), and Prince’s “Purple Rain.”

The Vantage Award honors an emerging artist or scholar who is helping to contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema. The Icon Award, presented by Rolex, celebrates an artist whose career has had a significant global cultural impact. The Luminary Award is given to an artist whose singular contributions have expanded the creative possibilities of cinema. The Icon and Vantage Awards, designed by the Haas Brothers and fabricated by UAP, are solid cast bronze, hand polished, hand stamped, and triple plated in nickel, copper, and 24k gold.

President, and founder of global private jet company Bitlux,

Kyle Patel, sheds light on how private aviation connects flawlessly with the silent travel trend, allowing wonderers to reach remote and secluded places far removed from the usual tourism magnets.

How private jet travel maximizes
the ‘quiet travel’ mantra

relais signature world, luxury travel magazine, ode travel magazine, yamile sadok, ybsc communication,

&

Travel Jet

In an era dominated by the incessant buzz of social media, where experiences are often measured by their shareability, a refreshing countertrend is gaining momentum, that of quiet travel, according to the Pinterest "Summer 2024 Travel Report". This movement goes against the frenetic pursuit of tourist traps and instead proposes a more contemplative, introspective approach to exploring the world.

At its core, quiet travel is about creating space for mindfulness and self-reflection. It’s a rebellion against the pressure to constantly perform and document our adventures, instead inviting us to fully inhabit the present moment. This might mean rising early to watch the sunrise over an ancient temple, sitting alone in a quaint café to scribble in a notebook, or taking a solitary stroll on a secluded beach.

Of course, private jet travel is known for being exclusive and flexible and maintains total privacy. It is the natural partner to the trend of quiet travel as it takes away the stress of commercial travel and the hassle of the airport. You can travel from a small local airport with excellent facilities and the whole travel process is expedited. The experience of traveling by private jet is of course, unparalleled and the time saved, compliments the quiet travel ethos.

Quiet travel is not necessarily about isolation, but more about choosing meaningful relationships over superficial ones. It might involve striking up a conversation with a local shopkeeper, learning a few words of the native language to better appreciate its rhythms, or simply observing the way of life in a new place. In an age of highly filtered perfect vacation images, the quiet travel movement embraces the authentic and unique instead.

Where to go

As an alternative to the famous party island of Mykonos, a quiet traveler could take a private jet to the tiny Greek island of Kastellorizo. The airport (IATA: KZS ICAO: LGKJ) can accommodate a Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft or general aviation aircraft or you can reach the island by ferry. It is a picture-perfect destination, unmarred by tourism. There is the Blue Cave, a pretty grotto to explore, and a visit to an old taverna at the picturesque harbor with a sparkling bay, is a must.

This shift in travel is driven in part by our growing recognition of the importance of mental health and self-care. The relentless pace of modern life can be exhausting, and quiet travel offers us the chance to unplug from our devices, recharge our inner batteries, and tune back into ourselves and what brings us joy. Wellness travel is on the increase, as we try to escape the busyness and stress of life as well as being relieved of a digital detox and the stream of news.

In the Pinterest study, one of the most popular destinations is the English countryside, so a visit to God's Own Country and the historic spa town of Ilkley might be in order. The town is surrounded by the beautiful Yorkshire Moors where you can meander to the Cow and Calf Rocks in solitude. Ilkley is skirted by the beautiful River Wharfe and a visit to Betty’s Tea Rooms is a must for the ideal taste of Yorkshire. Nearby is the historic town of Haworth, home to the Bronte sisters. The local airport is Leeds Bradford Airport (IATA: LBA ICAO: EGNM).

Of course, quiet travel will not appeal to everyone and that’s perfectly okay. The beauty of exploration is subjective, in the countless ways we can engage with the world. Those who crave action and adrenaline, who delight in the hustle and bustle of foreign cities, will continue to do so. But for those yearning for a deeper, more introspective journey, quiet travel offers a powerful path forward. It allows you to take solace in the serene and feel rejuvenated. Pinterest noted that their travel-related searches over the last year were increasing with 'quiet places' and 'calm places' increasing by 50%.

The islands of Okinawa in Japan are another trending place for quiet travel. Okinawa is a world heritage site and has beaches that can be accessed all year round with its gentle climate. The national park on Iriomote Island covers 90% of the island and has mountainous jungle and lush mangroves to navigate and create the perfect quiet travel experience. Okinawa is popular with foodies too and has a flourishing food scene. The nearest airport is Naha Airport (IATA: OKA ICAO: ROAH).

The phrase 'cabin in the mountain' also trended in the report. If a mountain retreat and focus on wellness are more your thing, the VIVAMAYR Altaussee at Lake Worthersee in Austria might be an option. The famous wellness clinic offers the Mayr health concept and relaxation to create a tailored and unique well-being journey. The closest airport is Klagenfurt Airport around 20 minutes away (IATA: KLU ICAO: LOWK).

For a spiritual journey like no other, you could visit the Ananda, a destination spa, set on a hillside in the foothills of the Himalayas. The spa overlooks the ancient spiritual city of Rishikesh in India, and they offer holistic experiences such as ayurveda, yoga and meditation, fitness, massage, and much more. The nearest airport is Dehradun Airport or Jolly Grant Airport as it is sometimes known (IATA: DED ICAO: VIDN) followed by a 40-minute picturesque drive through the Himalayas. Helicopter transfers are also available to the resort’s own helipad.

As we move through the world with greater intention and awareness, we may just discover that the best souvenirs we collect are the insights we glean about ourselves. In the stillness and the present moment, one can take time to enjoy the beauty that awaits just beyond the next horizon. So, if you find the quiet travel revolution appealing, embrace it. Take a private jet to somewhere remote and secluded and get away from it all.

Bitlux delivers various services across the air charter industry, but Executive Travel is closest to heart. Whether you are flying for business or leisure, Bitlux provides a top-tier private jet service that actively exceeds expectations.

Wien Museum

The most spectacular museum opening in the Austrian capital

Wien Austria

THE WIEN MUSEUM: HISTORY MEETS THE FUTURE

It's Vienna's most spectacular museum opening yet. The Wien Museum on Karlsplatz, completely renovated and enlarged, has been open to visitors again since December 06.

The building, which was inaugurated in 1959, had to be refurbished due to a lack of space and the need to renovate. Over a period of four years, Austrian architects Certov and Winkler + Ruck completely modernized the building, adding an extraordinary new floor. A concrete cube now "floats" above the original building.

Karlsplatz and the Gußhausviertel, with its imposing architecture and exceptional gastronomy, invite visitors to explore one of the city's emerging districts. The reopening of the Wien Museum is accompanied by a major innovation: the permanent exhibition is free for all. The new permanent exhibition "Wien. Meine Geschichte" ("Vienna. My History") tells the story of the city from Neolithic times to the present day over three floors, 3,300 square metres, and features 1,700 objects.

The new "floating" floor offers ample additional space for unusual temporary exhibitions, which visitors will be able to access with a ticket. The museum has already prepared some incredible exhibitions for 2024: the exhibition "Fischer von Erlach. Entwurf einer historischen Architektur" ("Fischer von Erlach. Portrait of a historical architecture", from 01/02), for example, presents the Baroque architect in a contemporary context. The exhibition "Secessionen. Klimt, Stuck, Liebermann" ("The Secession. Klimt, Stuck, Liebermann", from May 23) presents the genius artists who strongly marked the beginning of Modernism at the dawn of the 20th century in Vienna, Munich and Berlin.

An open space between the old and new buildings now serves as a terrace, offering spectacular views over Karlsplatz and the surrounding area. This floor houses a café and conference center, as well as mediation workshops.
