Fête de la Musique - World Music Day

The Fête de la Musique, also known as World Music Day, is a music festival taking place on June 21, which is usually the summer solstice.

The Fête de la Musique began in France and has since spread to Belgium, Britain, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Israel (in Tel-Aviv), China, India, Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Philippines, Romania, Colombia and other countries. New York City held its first festival in 2007.

The idea was conceived by French Music and Dance director Maurice Fleuret for Minister of Culture Jack Lang in 1981 and first took place in 1982.

Completely different from a music festival, the Fête de la Musique is above all a free popular fête, open to any participant (amateur or professional muicians) who wants to perform in it. This Music day allows the expression of all styles of music in a cheerful atmosphere. It aims at a large audience, working to popularise musical practice for young and not so young people from all social backgrounds. It gives an opportunity to communicate and share a very special moment through music.

GUCCI FOR HOME: FRIDA GIANNINI DESIGNS SPECIAL EDITION T-SHIRT

Gucci is proud to announce its support for HOME, the unique cinematic environmental film directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, produced by Luc Besson and funded by Gucci parent company the PPR Group.

HOME takes an unprecedented approach in exploring the current state of the planet through aerial images filmed in more than fifty countries around the world, with the objective being the increased awareness of major environmental and social challenges facing humankind.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand said, “This movie has been inside my head for 15 years now. All that I saw and learnt while flying over the Earth has transformed me. This movie should be both magnificent and intelligent, but, above all, it should be steadfastly constructive. What is important today is that we are 6 billion intelligent beings who can take action.”

In honor of the film, Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini has designed a special, limited edition T-shirt, which will be sold in select Gucci stores worldwide and on gucci.com. Extending the message of sustainability, Giannini designed the T-shirt using 100% organic cotton and natural dyes in recyclable packaging. The design features the official HOME logo in which Giannini has integrated the iconic Gucci “GG” symbol, while the back includes the names of each country featured in the film. A white canvas bag with the HOME logo in gold accompanies the T-shirt. On sale from May 25 the T-shirt will be available in both men’s and women’s sizes, with all profits donated to Goodplanet.org, a non-profit association created by Yann Arthus-Bertrand in 2005. Frida Giannini said, “Anyone who watches this film will not fail to be deeply moved by the incredible imagery captured by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. It is a truly remarkable call to action for all us to play a part in protecting the planet for the generations to come.”

HOME will receive a unique multi-platform release on June 5th – World Environment Day – in cinemas, on television, on DVD and on the internet in 14 different languages and in over 87 countries around the world.Watch this movie. www.home-2009.com

CLANVIRONMENT - PlayClan

CLANVIRONMENT IS A CONCEPT BY THE CLONES OF PLAY CLAN TO SAVE THE PLANET.
THEY BELIEVE THAT IF EVERYONE TAKES SOME SIMPLE STEPS, IT CAN LEAD TO A CLEAN AND
GREEN ENVIRONMENT. THE CLONES HAVE TAKEN GLOBAL WARMING AS A GLOBAL WARNING AND HAVE JOINED HANDS TO PROTECT AND SAVE THE MOTHER EARTH, WHO THEY SO MADLY LOVE.

PLAY CLAN is a fashion + art + design store based on the concept of everyday playing. Conceived and designed by a graphic design house that baby-sits a clan of designers, artists, illustrators, dreamers, writers and beer drinkers, who in their dedicated play-time slot, hop onto their play field to experiment with new things. They dream about cushions, paint on shoes, transform art into shirts and discover ideas while walking on the streets. They call themselves creative clones with similar differences.
Play clan is a space where you don’t see the crazy designers but you do see what they like and what they make. Hand picked items by globe trotting; carefully chosen design, art and fashion books; graphic novels and comics; art shirts; hand painted shoes; played upon cushions, funky journals & doodle notebooks, crazy creature lamps and countless other things topped with oodles of madness and passion is what you get here.
Play clan is right now a small corner shop tucked away in a hidden alley at select citywalk but the creative clones see it growing to a large community. The clan welcomes absolutely anybody and everybody who has a passion for interesting thoughts that turn into good ideas and then into products.
