Charles Saatchi: Question
Advertising magnet Charles Saatchi isn’t one for interviews, therefore he prefers to write books instead to give others a piece of his brilliant mind. With the follow up to “My name is Charles Saatchi and I am an Artaholic“, comes “ Charles Saatchi: Question.” This new edition to the advertising mogul’s growing list of publications answers alot of questions as the title states. Some of the questions quoted by publisher Phaidon are as follows: “How can I raise £5000 in a hurry? How do you sleep at night? Is it better to give than to receive? What’s the secret of inner peace? In this new volume influential art collector Charles Saatchi provides the answers to these, and over 100 more, fresh questions.”
Charles Saatchi: Question is scheduled for release April 7, 2010. Pre-Order your copy here.

Maison Moschino x Themed Boutique Hotel
We can assure you’ve never slept in a luxury boutique hotel like the Maison Moschino. Owned by Fashion house Moschino, their Creative Director Rossella Jardini was the visionary behind the concept, design, and decoration. The hotel boasts 16 unique and whimsical private quarters, and 65 themed rooms, each meticulously decorated and designed. Our favorite piece is the pastry chandelier. A few themed rooms are the “Alice room”, “Petal Room”, “Red riding Hood”, “Clouds”, “Sleeping in a Ball Gown”, “Gold”, and “Luxurious attic”. All this artistic opulence comes at a price though, the themed rooms start at around $368 and up a night.

COCO Rocha x The New York Times
Top Supermodel Coco Rocha sets the record straight in a recent New York Times Article. “I don’t do nudes, I don’t do semi-nudes, I don’t do cigarette shots,” says the 21 year old beauty. Demands that would get any plain newcomer instantly axed from the fashion industry, Coco says with little care. Another excerpt from the article is this: “You know what, I’ve stopped caring,” Ms. Rocha said. “If I want a hamburger, I’m going to have one. No 21-year-old should be worrying about whether she fits a sample size.” What we realized is CoCo has made her millions, but what about those models still on the come up? how stern could they stand in an industry of vultures? We here at CO feel that this article is worth a read, and a moment to reflect. Read the full article here.

The actual performance was orchestrated by Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli and titled “Ballets Russes Italian Style (The Shortest Musical You Will Never See Again)”.
