Global Kids Fashion Week in London
For a time to this part it is becoming clear that fashion has extended its reach and interest to the world of children, perhaps in a process that began back in the late last century. A kind of infantilization of casual or sport clothing that reached all age segments of the urban middle classes. Commentators observe a tendency of the fact that adults dress like children in some ways, something with very suggestive sociological and psychological implications of the phenomenon that in recent years has directly become the target of a large number of designers and clothing brands, as evidenced both by the disturbing appearance of model children (the most famous of which is perhaps Romeo Beckham) and the fact that the estimated value of the luxury garment industry for children in the UK only is over 500 million pounds. Within this process the first Global Kids Fashion week strongly emphasizes this trend (http://eu.alexandalexa.com/global-kids-fashion-week) taking place in an extremely disconcerting scenario for the event happens to take place in the headquarters of the Unified Masonic Grand Lodge of London, located in the central and distinctly theatrical Covent Garden, also famous for its market. The event, which has the support of the Victoria & Albert Museum of decorative arts, design and fashion (probably the most important of its kind in the world) and the Museum of Childhood and provides a comprehensive program of walkways, performances, exhibitions, lectures, conferences and other activities focused on children´s world luxury fashion . The list of designers participating in the event gives us a rough idea of the magnitude of it, it includes artists and...

Jane Birkin live in concert in London
When we think about the 60s at this point in the 21st century, we get a lump in our throat that gets bigger and bigger all the time -a lump of nostalgia that makes our eyes teary remembering such great years that changed global culture forever, years that revolutionized music, politics, sexuality, literature, film and so many other ways of living in and confronting reality. Of course, each country had its different view of the 60s. In Berlin, rock´n´roll was taking its first steps to psychedelia and the political sound of Krautrock, full of experimentation and cosmic visions, especially protesting against the Berlin Wall. In Paris, the ´ye ye´ music and the songs by the famous Serge Gainsbourg invaded the radio stations. Of course, stars such as Françoise Hardy, Anna Karina and France Gall hypnotized the fans with they lyrical beauty whilst divos such as Jacques Dutronc impulsed the new beat and go-go sound, with a rocking spirit but “en français, s´il vous plaît”. London, however, was a whole different story. Back then, the city known as ´Swinging London´ was an endless rock´n´roll party, with fashion, beat sounds, experimentation and drugs everywhere in the British capital. of course, the Rolling Stones were at the head in the battle of the bands, with Pink Floyd and Cream not far behind, as well as the constant appearance of The Beatles during their last few years and a certain Jimi Hendrix, who was starting to become a talking point outside his native USA. During those romantic years, the beautiful London-born Jane Birkin met the great Serge Gainsbourg and they began a story...Marlborough Fine Art London
