“Erotism is a refined art of living to undress all taboos ”
I worked in the Carlo Mollino Museum house in Turin Italy, for the first time in 2007 with photographer Jeff Burton. What a thrill to go back for another dose of my favorite Architect with my dear friend Olivier Zahm for Gucci/Fiat 500. Enjoy the vision!

The highlights of March Paris Fashion week 2012 were the Givenchy show, with Ricardo Tisci's all-the-more-empowered vision of woman; and Haider Ackermann, whose show at the Hotel de Ville was simply impeccable. Catherine Baba's Jewelry presentation for GRIPOIX at Lapérouse was a moment of pure "J'Adoration." Victoire de Castellane made us all forget that our feet hurt with the help of Kid Creole and the Coconuts (who were all dressed by Fifi Chachnil) for the Celebration of "My Dior" her new fine jewelry collection.
At the end of the week, I popped into the new RA Boutique to meet with Anna, Romain and his precious puppy. The beautiful shop, located in the haut Marais at 14 rue de la Corderie 75003, includes a stage that left me dreaming of future projects for RA. RA Paris will host events, readings, performance artists and the most intimate of fashion shows. I was happy to see my Veneration Feather Tickler so beautifully displayed alongside the Sado–Chic series in a coffin-shaped window!
The show features a series of female nudes by female artists, including Betony Vernon, who recently art directed a photo shoot to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Sado-Chic collection. Two images from the series by Photographer Lara Giliberto, as well as Betony's sterling silver Soulless Shoes and Urn Dilettos, will be on display until June 1, 2012.
For this occasion Betony Vernon Art Directed a photo-shoot with photographer Lara Giliberto. They will participate with a few images from this recent collaboration to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Sado-Chic collection.

I bound Lara Stone for Visionaire No. 60: RELIGION Curated by Riccardo Tisci in Collaboration with Givenchy.
She discovered that she loved being bound as much as i enjoyed binding her curvaceous gorgeousness!
This morning I received a package. After signing the delivery slip and asking the postman to excuse me for presenting myself at the door in my kimono, I opened the cardboard box and found, to my delight, a copy of Design Behind Desire.
I went straight back to bed with what I soon discovered to be one of the most beautiful books on sex, desire and sensuality that I have ever had the pleasure to possess, and to be part of !
Thank you, Lisa Z. Morgan, for this wonderfully inspiring and complete work on contemporary desire.

Wearing a Sado-Chic O-band ring and a Yoni ring from the Paradise Found Erotic Jewelry Collection by Betony Vernon, the ravishing talent graces the November cover of MODZIK – Mode and Music Magazine. On pictures accompanying the story, we can admire the singer once again wearing another set of Betony’s Erotic Jewelry: bracelet The Offering from the Second Skin collection and the Venus Collier.
English musician Florence Welch led Florence + The Machine straight to the top of the UK Album chart in 2010 with her debut album “Lungs”. After being nominated for Best New Artist at the 53rd Grammy awards, the unpredictable beauty is coming out with what promises to be yet another hit album ‘Ceremonials’ (available in store now)
May ‘Ceremonials’ take you + the Machine straight back up to the TOP of the Album Charts!
Brava Florence Welch!

Francesco Clemente's show 'I Tarocchi' opened at the Biblioteca degli Uffizzi on September 8th. The Major Arcanas of the Tarot are represented by one or more contemporary personalities. I posed for this project this summer in NYC as The High Priestess!
In 2007, i worked with photographer Jeff Burton and adult film star Corina Millado in the museum house of Carlo Mollino in Turin.
Several images from the series are published in the fall/winter issue of Purple Fashion magazine. Thank you Olivier Zham ...
and everyone who made this magic moment in Turin possible - especially Fulvio Ferrari, the owner of the 'Warriors House of Rest."
