STYLING EXERCICE “ALL ABOUT FLAG”
"At a time when borders have almost disappeared when it comes to "Made in", creation and trends, at a time when countries who were irrelevant yesterday have run up their flags proudly as tomorrow’s emergent markets, the trend is to assert one’s cultural identity. Whether it be patriotic, a backup for symbols, or a standard bearing a message, we are giving our exhibitors the opportunity to create their own flag: a flag that looks like them!"
STYLING EXERCISE AROUND ABAYAS
A styling exercise was organized around ABAYAS, the traditional gowns worn by women in the Gulf region, during the first edition of WHO’S NEXT & PREMIERE CLASSE IN DUBAI last October. Our exhibitors gave free rein to their style and creativity to give their own interpretation of this traditional clothing item, or gave an Oriental touch to one iconic item of their collection. Among the participating brands, come and discover creations by Gig, Epiure, Radical Delicacy, Iodice, Marbella, J Maskrey, Marc Rozier, Isabelle Collomb, Nathalie Sekivian, Philippe Roucou et Philippe Audibert.
WHO'S NEXT CATWALK
To celebrate its 15th birthday in a fun way, WHO’S NEXT goes back to school and chooses to express the College spirit of the Fall/Winter 2010 collections. From cheerleaders to geeks, technology and video game fans, without forgetting intellectual misfits, always ready to change the world, and dreaded provocative rebels, WHO’S NEXT has never felt younger…

ROSEBUZZ'S TRIBUTE TO YSL
Launched in September 2007, Rosebuzz is a free bimonthly magazine released by vente-privee.com and devoted to Fashion, Arts and Trends. Enjoying a circulation of 10 000, it is sent to opinion leaders in the field of fashion, communications, arts and music. The February 2010 issue will be exclusively devoted to Mr. Saint-Laurent. In this exceptionally luxurious issue, you’ll (re)discover the story of the designer and brand, two designers who were influenced by the work of this master (Jean-Paul Knott et Alexis Mabille), some artists who admired him (Helmut Newton, Alain Chamfort)… as well as his legendary elegance, on more than 190 pages.
E.T.A.T
Elegangz overthrows WHO’S NEXT before establishing a fictitious and ephemeral artistic regime somewhere in Paris in 2010. Fifteen artists (Arnaud Pagès, Xerak, Thomas Canto, Benjamin Adida, Popay, Systaime, Luis de Miranda, Paul Coudamy, Gustave Bernier) embody this Ensemble Transversal Artistique Temporaire (Temporary Artistic Transverse Ensemble), with the support of many volunteers.
The E.T.A.T is not a political entity, but a creation lab. All those who take part in this artistic experience each play a very precise role in its construction and existence (president, ministers, people, opposition parties...). This experience is achieved through various supports, medias and disciplines: street art, net art, digital art, generative art, illustrations, video, philosophy, architecture…
FRANCE TRICOT COLLECTIVE
Sunday January 24th, at 4 pm, FRESH area
To let the wool out of its ghetto, give it a new life and an artistic dimension: such is the approach of the France Tricot collective. Knitting for public benches, streetlights and fountains, to draw the attention of the public. Special warning to all “woolopaths”! The three activists of the CFT collective will be waiting for you Sunday January 24th at 4 pm, in the Fresh lounge, next to the restaurant.

INTERSECTION x L’ECURIE
A unique collaboration: Intersection, the magazine for style on the move, and L’Ecurie, an agency specialized in mobility, are giving a new innovative interpretation of the Rafale – boots worn by French fighter pilots.
The essence of the original model was kept but adapted to the world of contemporary luxury.
L’Ecurie has also devised a carrying case equally as outrageous as the model itself: a prestigious sports coupe from the 60’s has been transformed into a shoe trunk, in the shape of a 1968 Porsche Karman with no door handles, without wing mirrors, top shopped and with moon alloys stripped of their chrome and painted in nimbus grey matt paint, specially developed for this project. Its boot has been changed into a trunk and equipped with a sound system and video equipment, screening the “making of” the project. This model will be exclusively unveiled to the public on the Who’s Next.
