Jacquemus opens Los Angeles boutique
Located at 8800 Melrose Avenue, a few steps from the cult Maxfield, Simon Porte-Jacquemus' new address set up a temporary market for the occasion, with multiple stalls of bananas, daisies and roses, all yellow. On the sidewalk, the banana-shaped Jacquemus mobile took guests in turn for a quick tour of West Hollywood.
After cutting the inauguration ribbon in front of a hundred people armed with their iPhones, the VIP cocktail party finally opened at 5 p.m. In attendance were a host of influencers, models, TV and reality TV stars, including Lori Harvey, Kristin Cavallari, Benito Skinner, Cole Sprouse, Noah Beck, Vinnie Hacker and Nicholas Chavez. Also present, Anwar Hadid -Bella and Gigi's little brother - designer Eli Russell Linnetz, director Luke Gilford and "White Lotus" actor Jon Gries.
Long time occupied by the John Varvatos brand, and taken over a year ago by the Louis Vuitton pop-up, which created a flamboyant set-up around the famous Pont Neuf bridge, the store occupies a surface area of 2,700 square feet.
Inside, terracotta brick floors complement limestone clay stucco walls. At the center of the boutique were two 10-meter-long sunshine-yellow sofas with striped cushions. Antique Egyptian vases, chairs by Jean Royère, mid-century chandeliers, ceramics by French artist Mathilde Martin and a table lamp by Frank Lloyd Wright displayed the designer's personal tastes. A 1999 photograph by David Hockney and a small bronze bather by Pierre-Auguste Renoir completed the decor.
Presented in preview was "La Galerie", a range of vintage items, each piece selected by the designer. This collection will begin with around 20 pieces of jewelry – earrings, brooches, necklaces, bracelets – that have a sculptural focus in addition to decorative objects such as boxes, small trays and keepsake dishes. Curated from vintage markets and galleries across Europe, the items primarily date between the 1920's and 1960's and showcase handcraft across various materials and techniques.
In a nod to Los Angeles and the Californian lifestyle, a selection of chrome objects was also on display, including dumbbells, yoga mats, skipping ropes and water bottles.
The Jacquemus boutique in Los Angeles is the fifth worldwide, after Paris, New York, London and Dubai.

IN PICTURES: France's scene-stealing Tour de France fans
Tour de France spectators are known for their enthusiasm – which can border on the excessive as they've been known to get too up close and personal with the riders. But it's their funny, over-the-top and often downright eccentric get-ups and banners that sometimes steal the show. Whether it's 'simple' head-to-toe polka dots à la jersey awarded to the King of the Mountains to various furry animals, an out-of-season Santa Claus, the Pope and even, um, genitalia, those watching like to get creative. These are some of our favourites from this year's race. A spectator in costume (presumably Celine Dion from the helpful sign) looks on along the race route.

Like when one brazen prankster actually tried to cross the finish line before the riders, earning himself an eight-month suspended sentence in the process .

At Musée d'Orsay, a Courbet painting gets a new life before visitors' eyes
Artisinal precision and unwavering patience: In the main gallery of Paris' Musée d'Orsay, a side arcade has become a sensation. Visitors crowd between the signs "Poitiers" and "Limoges" (western French cities) to witness an unusual spectacle. Behind plexiglass panels, a small team of restorers is hard at work breathing new life into this celebrated painting by Gustave Courbet (1819-1877): Un Enterrement à Ornans (A Burial at Ornans). Since early June, the monumental canvas – 6.68 meters long and 3.15 meters high – has been restored in public view. Every Thursday morning, three groups of 12 people each enjoy a guided visit that brings them up close to the work. Inside the restorers' area, scaffolding, spotlights and renovation tools surround the realistic painting. During half an hour, the professionals explain the history of the work, the nature of their craft and the various stages in the restoration process. This free visit is open to all by reservation. "It's fascinating. I didn't realize how many scientific skills were required for restoration," said Sylvie, a retired sales manager, as she left the visit. "It made me want to come back in the coming months to see how the project is progressing." The visits will pause in August and resume in September.

Thomas Jolly, director of Paris 2024 Olympics ceremonies: 'You're always reminded of where you come from'
One year ago, France was buzzing with excitement for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games. As the artistic director of the opening and closing ceremonies, Thomas Jolly delivered bold and extraordinary performances. At 43, the theater and opera director, known for his spectacular productions, such as his acclaimed staging of the musical Starmania, received an honorary Molière award, the French equivalent of the Tonys, in late April. I wouldn't have gotten here if… In French class at middle school, we hadn't read Le Médecin malgré lui [ The Doctor in Spite of Himself ] by Molière, and that first line spoken by Sganarelle at the beginning of the play, which I delivered in an extremely theatrical manner, banging on the table: "No! I tell you that I'll do nothing of the kind, and that it is for me to speak, and to be master." I was in sixth grade, I didn't know anything about theater, and it was the first time I had ever recited a line from the repertoire. But I understood you had to "give it some tone," and the teacher had asked me to perform it with anger. I did it, and I made my classmates laugh. Suddenly, it wasn't the same everyday laughter I heard that was hard to bear on the playground, in the cafeteria, or on the bus. This laughter was different, and it continued throughout my reading. That evening, when I got home to my parents, I wanted to do theater. I felt that it was a space where, even though you were exposed, you were also protected. What images do you keep from your childhood in the small village of La Rue-Saint-Pierre, in Normandy?
