"Of Adam's first wife, Lilith, it is told,
(The witch he loved before the gift of Eve,)
That, ere the snake's, her sweet tongue could deceive,
And her enchanted hair was the first gold.

And still she sits, young while the earth is old,
And, subtly of herself contemplative,
Draws men to watch the bright web she can weave,
Till heart and body and life are in its hold.

The rose and poppy are her flowers; for where
Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent,
And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?
Lo! as that youth's eyes burned at thine, so went
Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
And round his heart one strangling golden hair."


- Dante Gabrielle Rossetti, 1868 -

THE TEAM

 
 

ERIC CHANG
Réalisateur


Eric Chang is a photographer and film director. The son of a sculptor and a ceramic designer, he spent his early years in his parent's workshop writing poetry, sketching with charcoals, and sculpting gypsum.

He found his stepping-stone to pursue the medium of photography when viewing an exhibition by fellow Indonesian photographer, Indra Leonardi. One photograph in this exhibit titled “Madonna and Child” captured his imagination, and inspired him to use his dad’s old rangefinder camera.

 

 

 

RICK OWENS
Fashion Designer

In 1994, the world started taking notice of a young and athletic Californian, with a punk look, anti-conformist personality penchant for black leather, hard rock, goth, Vogue Paris and has a real passion for all forms of art...

The world was talking about Rick Owens, a designer whose talent the international fashion community saluted and for whom they quickly coined the term "glunge" to describe his style, halfway between glamour and grunge.

His name achieved an international reputation in 2001 when his label was promoted by his Italian agency Eo Bocci Associati. Rick Owens has kept moving and his collections remain faithful to his image, as an off the beaten path designer. He fine-tunes his style, always close to the goth culture, with a strong predominance of black, grey and leather, his fetish material.His consecration came when Kate Moss made the front page of the French issue of Vogue, dressed in one of his leather jackets.

 

 

DEON LEE

He was born in Seoul, raised in Tokyo, and studied music in Boston and Los Angeles with the emphasis on cinematic composing where he had the opportunity to study with Hollywood composers such as Christopher Young and Bruce Broughton. Having been raised in various cultural backgrounds he has been widely exposed to a variety of musical influences and considers himself not to be bound by a specific genre. 

D's formal musical training began with the violin and then went onto further gaining knowledge and skills on other instruments such as guitar, drums, trumpet and piano. Returning back to the violin in high school he was recognized as the district's most improved player. 

In the era that is constantly changing he has hopes and dreams of transforming people's lives through his ever evolving music.

Pugh's solo premiere was in London's Fall 2006 fashion week; he has since showed his Spring 2007 and Autumn 2007 collections there. Pugh's shows have continued to draw critical praise.
