I feel that my weeks just pass by super fast... Today I was sure it was Wednesday, but my LV aggenda said Thursday. Where did I loose one day???
I saw my client in the afternoon and after that I had "quickly" coffee with Teemu at Fnac. Sure...quickly, not possible, just too much to talk about. ;o) I barely made it home when I already had to leave back downtown. We wanted to attend the new exhibition at Palazzo della Ragione with my girls.
"It is an exhibit that focuses on the changing perception of beauty as captured through the camera lens over the past 75 years. Featured photographers at Extreme Beauty in Vogue include George Hoyningen-Huene, Richard Avedon, Steven Klein, Irving Penn and Helmut Newton. Together with a team of curators, Anna Wintour selected the nearly 100 images, which make up the exhibit, set up in a frescoed medieval palazzo now used as an exhibition hall.
The exhibit, which took more than a year in planning, was installed by French architect Jean Nouvel. Set up on two levels of scaffolding wrapped in swathes of dramatic red curtains, each photo has its own easel or booth.
Some of the photos on exhibit are juxtaposed to show how the body itself has changed since the 1930s when the first pictures were shot, and how modern photographic techniques can alter reality, much like plastic surgery.

At a pre-launch party, designer Stefano Gabbana said that "beauty should be about accepting yourself and feeling good about it."
"'Basta' -- enough with the quest for perfection."
The exhibit runs through May 10 at the Palazzo della Ragione."
