So … What’s Up With Olivier Zahm and All the Naked Women on His Blog?
Olivier Zahm is the latest subject in Style.com’s ongoing series “The Future of Fashion,” interviews with fashion people who do things like tweet or blog on the Internet. Olivier, the editor of Purple magazine, runs Purple Diary (link NSFW), which includes photos from his point of view of life’s most fabulous things, such as sitting front-row at Miu Miu or having a naked woman roll around your office (link NSFW) for the cameras. Yeah, those naked women in Purple — where does that come from, anyway? And just WHY? Olivier gets into it a bit.
I had this idea of having a personal diary, an intimate diary, mixing intimacy or privacy with my public life and creating a sort of contrast between what’s really intimate, like sex and love, and what’s really public, a party, a fashion show, an exhibition. What’s meant to be public and what’s meant to be private and make them, like, coexist. It was suddenly exciting because it was, in a way, breaking the barriers of something, which is actually what the medium itself, the Internet itself, does. For celebrities it’s a nightmare, but for me it’s a pleasure. It’s a decision. I would love to go further into intimacy, but my girlfriend and my lovers are sometimes a bit reluctant.
Oh, so he is a man with one girlfriend and multiple lovers. (Maybe that’s where Hugh Hefner got it wrong.) And this is the subtext of his somewhat abstract Internet presence? Style.com probes further.

Prada & Patrizio Bertelli – Take a Glimpse into a Stylish Empire
Say "Prada" and what jumps to mind is probably something stylishly streamlined and fashion-forward. What probably doesn't: a 6 foot tall, white-haired screaming-and-cursing Italian man. Patrizio Bertelli, CEO of Prada, is the judge, jury, and executor of all-things-business at the famous fashion line designed by his wife, Miuccia Prada. While she is often lauded by the fashion press as one of the industry's avant garde sages, it's interesting that she sees her husband – a "loudmouthed Tuscan entrepreneur with grand ambitions" to her "tidy-upper class Milanese woman who wore Yves Saint Laurent skirts, studied theater and talked politics" – as the visionary in their partnership. "He has an incredible sense of what works and doesn't work," she tells the new issue of WSJ. Magazine (on newsstands March 13, 2010) in their cover-story on the dynamic duo behind the mega-brand. "He is the mind, we [her creative team] are the arms."
For the fourth time now, the multi-billion dollar family-owned conglomerate is making an ambitious attempt to go public, and WSJ.com has pulled together a fascinating look behind the "volcanic" exterior of Bertelli. He's definitely the savvy engine that runs Prada through a cunning mix of brinksmanship (shouting at the chairman of department-store chain Neiman Marcus and deriding his "John Wayne act"), drama (smashing unflattering mirrors in Prada stores), and intuition ("He's far more of a provocateur than I am," admits his wife. "He and I have a little rule of three. If he says something more than three times, then I need to think about it. Sometimes I don't want to listen, but I do.")

Step Out in Chic “Ugandals” from Reef
Uganda has been plagued by an internal war between the government and the Lord’s Resistance Army for over twenty years. The war has inflicted immense tragedy and brutality against the Acholi people, displacing nearly 1 million of them into refugee camps. And yet, despite fear of ongoing war and the struggle to provide basic necessities, a number of entrepreneurial woman have figured out a fair-trade & fashionable way to earn money for food, shelter and schooling: using recycled magazines and newspapers, they handcraft colorful beads to sell. Reef recently partnered with 31 Bits – an organization that aids the entrepreneurial spirit of displaced women in Ugandan refugee camps – to pre-purchase the beads for decorative trim on a classic t-strap summer sandal, itself made from a sustainably green mix of chrome-free leather, recycled hardware and water-based adhesives.

Packaging Style: Banana Leaves
If you’ve seen the last episode of Lost (one of the few TV series I actually watch, raison de plus – it’s Lost’s last season…), you might have noticed Miles carrying some food to Linus on a banana leaf. I don’t know if that was inspired by real life facts or the other way around (my logic leads me to the last hypothesis, since this Lost episode wasn’t aired until now and the banana leaf incident didn’t struck me before, even if they were shown eating or around camp pretty often).
To keep it short: there’s a new packaging at the eco-horizon: the banana leaves! The idea was showcased at a design competition and its author, Tal Marco, really brings something old however strikingly new to the concept of packaging. We are talking about food packaging, not handbags or jewelry. Though… What do you think? Would you wrap your sandwich in a banana leaf? (via)
