Following the narrative behind our Spring-Summer 2024 collection, we have partnered with local artists across Paris, Milan and the UK – to host a series of private poetry evenings at our boutiques. Guest poets performed excerpts from Shakespeare's poems, or original pieces echoing the themes from Sonnet 18 – evoking an everlasting beauty; a memory that lives on and inspires the future.

Ideally, we’d all be idyllic, not idealistic. An “idyll”is a simple work of poetry or prose that describes peaceful country life. It may also be the peaceful country scene about which an idyll is written. By extension, to be “idyllic” is to be charming or picturesque. In contrast, if something is “ideal,” it is perfect. A small country inn may be idyllic but may not be ideal for a large formal wedding. “Ideal” and “idyllic” are not synonyms. An “idealist” is one who places ideals—perfection—above practical considerations. To be “idealistic” is to be guided by ideals that may be impractical or exist only in the imagination. This tip follows the Chicago Manual of Style.

At 92, Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor has written what may be his most ambitious work yet. Ostensibly a study of Romantic poetry and music, the book addresses the broader themes of modern life and its discontents, and explores ways to transcend them. Adam Gopnik explains that we once lived in an "enchanted" universe with a shared sense of meaning and purpose, where the night sky was imbued with divine significance. Today, we inhabit a modern world shaped by the Enlightenment, marked by fragmented beliefs and disconnected purposes, devoid of a supervising deity, where common meaning is elusive and the moon is merely measured. The argument suggests that Romantic poetry first recognized this fracture and proposed a means to heal it. According to Gopnik, the arts are not merely sources of secondary sensations but are primary places where we can reconnect with feelings of wholeness and harmony—not just with "Nature" and its rugged landscapes and serene lakes beloved by the Romantics, but with existence itself.

Dropping by to show a glimpse of my creative process behind this piece titled "The Return of Pachamama," where I aimed to express my perspective on the power of nature, which should not be underestimated. Nature, which also manifests through the strength of femininity, constantly needs to be acknowledged, as many still overlook this. I enjoy blending poetry with illustration, so surrounding the main theme, we have the lyrics of Calle 13's song "Latinoamerica."
