A Look Back at Louis Vuitton’s Architecturally Astounding Runway Sets
Outside of fashion, Nicolas Ghesquière’s primary obsession seems to be architecture. Not only is his Instagram chock-full of inspirational shots of Eero Saarinen buildings and other ’60s wonders, but he’s made a point of setting his Louis Vuitton shows in several architectural masterpieces around the world, and also of enlisting famous architects and artists to design special spaces just for LV. Tomorrow, Rio de Janeiro’s Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, designed by Oscar Niemeyer, will be the backdrop for his Resort 2017 collection. While you wait for the stunning shots from that show, relive Ghesquière’s past architectural show scenes here.

The first camera
Fast forward a few centuries before the first camera appeared in the 1900s. Pavilion camera Korona is a sleek wooden camera made by Gundlach in Rochester, New York. Despite the name "Pavilion camera", the Korona was OB camera and conveniently folds up for transport (although convenient - is a strong word). In this large-format film camera was a high quality mahogany body and bright red leather bellows.
Imagine that you go on a dangerous journey with this camera: many stories, probably would not have come down to us, without brave photographers.

Looking through pictures of events of bygone days, it seems that eventually the world became brighter. As if in the beginning of the XX century, everything was black and white and then gradually acquire color and shades. But, of course, the past was not without color, people, their clothing, landscapes on the background - everything had its own color.

At different times, the hat showed the originality of taste, courage and bright personality of its owner, a person belonging to a secular society, the circle of artistic bohemia and the correct sense of fashion fluctuations. Today, it's hard not to detain look at the girl in the hat, especially if the most beautiful girl, tried on this accessory.

"...Black and white photography is ideal for portraits; the shadows and highlights make the textures of people’s skin – the pores, the lines, the imperfections – tell their own stories. You can almost read a person’s life in their face. They can look hardworking and wise, their self-conscious coolness can be palpable or they can seem all the more awkward and naïve during their teenage years."

The Reason We Clink Wine Glasses
Clinking wine glasses is one of those time-honored traditions we perform without even thinking. Some claim it was originally meant to drive away demons. Others believe the idea was to slosh a little bit of wine into your drinking partner’s glass—that way, he couldn’t poison you without risking dying himself.
As exciting as those theories are, they’re just not true. The real reasons we touch our glasses are much simpler. Back before clinking was invented, a toast involved four senses: touch, taste, sight, and smell. The ears were left out of the equation. But as the manufacturing of wine glasses transformed into an art, people began appreciating the fine sounds of struck stemware, and voila, the clink was incorporated into the toasting routine. Clinking also produces a sense of community. Back in olden days, partygoers would pass around a single bowl of wine, and everyone shared from this single vessel. (After the bowl worked its way around the circle, the host would eat a piece of cooked bread, a literal toast.) Today, we’re a bit too worried about germs to try that, so instead of drinking after our neighbors, we tap our glasses. It’s a way of saying, “Hey, I’m part of the group and sharing in the good feeling.

Face Reading As a Science!
The practice of physiognomy or face reading is an ancient art known around the world. Some texts on this fascinating subject have been preserved through the ages, and it has been a part of Chinese medicine for centuries. It has been a facet of Western civilization starting with the Greeks, who studied and wrote about the relationship between facial structure and character. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, was familiar with physiognomy. Aristotle, in his addendum to History of Animals, discussed how to read a person's character from his face. He also wrote a treatise devoted entirely to the study of face reading.
The fact that these works survived demonstrates how highly regarded they were throughout a significant period of Western history.
Over the centuries, many noted western scholars have studied and valued physiognomy, including Galen, the famous first-century physician, Chaucer, the author of Canterbury Tales, and Roger Bacon, the author and poet who many believe used the pen name of Shakespeare.
The first great advancement of physiognomy in the West came in 1775 with the publication of Essays on Physiognomy by Johann Kasper Lavater, a pastor and poet in Zurich. His book, with its scores of superb illustrations and his rigorous effort to produce a classification system, was first attempt
to approach physiognomy as a scientific study.
Many followed in Lavater's footsteps. For example, as late as
1913, The Encyclopedia of Face and Form Reading, by Mary
Olmsted Stanton, was published and well-received. It was an
exhaustive effort to classify the meaning of facial features and structures. Unfortunately, her work also reflects the prevailing sentiments and prejudices of that time period.
The reason you may not have heard of face reading is due to
the initial success then ultimate failure of another competing discipline called phrenology. Phrenologists believed that the shape of the skull indicated the type of mind and character of its owner.
Initially, the phrenologists, called "bump readers," enjoyed tremendous success and had a large following. However, the theory that bumps on the skull correlate with the development of the brain beneath the bump was disproven by scientific research on brain mapping. Phrenologists quickly fell from favor and were ridiculed as frauds and charlatans.
This led to a rush to apply rigorous scientific proofs to all the disciplines, resulting in abandonment of many other avenues of research and study, including such worthwhile studies as hypnosis, reflexology, palmistry and telepathy. It has taken half a century for these to regain respectability as legitimate fields of research.
