Miss_lollipop54 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hello I'm back, I have bought the magazine and I start to translate it in English. Here the beginning, I continue to translate.... I have made my best (thanx to the translator). I hope you could understand! "On a wall, the hypnotic glance of a mandrill, snatched by the flash of an Australian photographer, nails you on the spot. 2 trapezes of circus fall of the ceiling. The obscene toes of a beautiful fidget on a fetishist photo signed David Lynch. And then, resting on shelves of the dzaines of models foot in red resin blocked by the name of their charming owners make eyes at you: Kylie Minogue, Arielle Dombasle, Zoe Cassavetes, Sofia Coppola... Among all the treasures of the studio - cabinet of curiosities of Christian Louboutin, the genius of the stiletto, Mika, 24 years, the pop singer, come make fittings for his megaconcert of the Parc of the Princes on July 4th, does not spoil. His brown hair is curled as that of a model for Pre-Raphaelite paint(painting). His jeans, spotless. In the wrist, he wears a bracelet of plastic hearts, present of a fan, a multitude of multicolored plaques picked up in Tate Modern of London, a red and yellow watch bought from the MoMA, from New York. The set translates the aesthetics, the taste. Moreover, Louboutin seizes the bracelet hearts rainbow which tightens him religiously Mika, as a relic.He and his boss of studio will use it as palette to realize in best 2 pairs of shoes of scene which Louboutin imagined for the young pop American-Lebanese star, born in Beirut, and craftsman, with its 5 million albums sold in the world, of one of the most unexpected successes of the last year." Full of people do not understand me, see me as a very sweet singer, under pretexte that I write pop melodies and that I rock balloons on the public, deeply explains Mika, alias Michael Holbrook Penniman, in almost completed French (he lived 8 years in Paris in 16th district and frequented the Victor-Hugo class).Me, what I like above all, It's the contrasts. The opposition between texts rather dark and me and my musicians disguised as cuddly toys on stage. I see it as an assertion of the life ". Christian Louboutin understood him. He took at once the author of Grace Kelly seriously, as a deserving heir of a blazing adventurers' lined of the pop, Bowie to Freddie Mercury, by way of Harry Nilsson, mythical interpreter in the head voice of "Without You", or fabulous Bee Gees. And Louboutin who had put shoes only on the women, except John Malkovich for a film and on mannaquins men of a parade of the English designer Todd Lynn, agreed enthusiastically to find a suitable match to him." Mika is super intelligent, he is interested, he listens to, he masters the Middle-Eastern art of the discussion, he says composedly. And, especially he understood that the artists of scene must not be dressed as in the life. It is as the Santa Claus! Tina Turner for whom I am moreover going to create low-fronted shoes of stage or Mariah Carey gets dressed totally differently in their shows and in the city " Suddenly, he exclaims very seriously: " we need escalopes for Mika! ". Explanation: the first one job of Louboutin consisted in working for the dancers of Folies Bergère... " And I bought them escalopes of veal everyday, which I slid in front of their ballerina, to relieve the toes when they made points. And as Mika is very strong to put itself brutally on points, we could maybe think about this stratagem", he says making fun that half.From his part, Mika tries his silvery bootees , middle-basket, middle- boxing shoes, rising on the ankle. " He has fragile ankles ", clarifies the creator.The Louboutin team, photographer of ELLE, the TV equip who follows him everywhere for the making-of of the spectacle, his mother, round and smiling in her pink tyrien dress, also takes care of the estate management. We discuss the exact color of shoes - will they go with the white, black and silver suit of the singer?-, of their comfort of their flexibility. Then we pass in the prototypes of the grolles of clown, blacks with strips of color.Christian Louboutin suggests making the right foot with vertical strips and the left foot with horizontal strips. Mika approves. Between the 2 artists, the collaboration is opened: Louboutin who made 8 years of trapeze in professional, even suggested to Mika to integrate trapeze artists into his concert... An idea which enchants him. Because for the Parc des Princes, where he will occur for the first time in front of 55000 persons, the lanky and ultrasmiling young man imagined a Mika Circus Show: gigantic sceneries for a 100 meters long stage, a stage setting realized by one specialist of the opera, who had worked until then only for Pet Shop Boys and Kanye West, enormous dolls with head of papier-mâché, suits signed Matthew Williamson. And the subject of the circus (in the ancient) , with Mika in the chaplinesque role of a " tramp of reves " dressed in a colorful combination, very Harlequin. " I discovered little time ago " Freaks ", of Tod Browning and I am crazy about it . I always liked the world of the circus and the clowns. I like this universe where all the defects become qualities. It touches me.", says Mika.In good tightrope walker of the pop, Mika bet everything on this spectacle which should be the organ point of exceptional year, before the recording of his second album in Los Angeles. " It is me who paid for this show, and I am losing a lot of money, he confides in laughing.It is an enormous challenge. But it is a child's dream, a rare occasion that offers itself to me, then why not enjoy itself? what would be the use this profession, otherwise?

MiKaL00v3 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah, a translation would be great! okaay, this was my version here's the 1rst page On a wall, the hypnotic glance of a 'mandrill' (dunno what that means), something (can't read) by the flash of an Australian photographer, nails you on the spot. Two circus trapezes fall from the ceiling. The obsene toes of a pretty girl fidget on a lucky picture signed David Lynch (this doesn't mean much for the moment ). And also, resting on shelves, tens of models of feet in red resin (isn't that the sticky stuff on trees ?) signed by the name of their charming owners attract your attention : Kylie Minogue, Arielle something, Zoe Cassasomething, Sofia Copolla... In between all the treasures of Christian Louboutin's workshop of curious things, the genius of stilettos, Mika (it only starts talking about him now, half way through the first page !), 24 years old, the pop singer, who's come to try things on for his megaconcert at the Parc Des Princes on the 4th of July*, doesn't something (can't read). His brown hair is curly like that of a model for a something (I dunno what it means) painter. His jeans, spotless. On his wrist, he has a bracelet of plastic hearts (ooooooh I looove him !), the present of a fan, a multitude of multicoloured square thingies stolen from the Tate Modern in London, a red and yellow watch (erm, I dunno if it's just my eyes, but I see red and blue, not yellow) bought from MoMA in New York. All of this makes a new taste, a new thing. Btw, Louboutin takes the bracelet of raimbow coloured hearts that Mika is giving to him carefully, like a relic. Him and his workshop master will use it as a model to help design the two pairs of shoes (for the gigs not as normal shoes) Louboutin has imagined for the young lebanese-american pop singer, born in Beyrouth, and an artist with his ... end of page 39 and that's wher I'll stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_lollipop54 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Here the following and the end of the article: "To help him, everybody put himself in it: his mother to whom he is very closed, his two sisters, Paloma who worked on suits and Zuleika, student designer to Esmod in China, who requisitioned a factory in Peking to make make a puppet of 100 metres long. And Christian Louboutin, naturally. " Generally, I distrust the industri of the fashion, which applies especially to sell parfums to refloat cash desks, what I find quite depressing.I am also held far from the musical industry, I never read magazines dealing with music, to not feel myself in competition with the others. Side fashion, I consider Yves Saint Laurent as one of the biggest artists of the world. I also like Alexander McQueen's visual language. As for Louboutin, I like the fact that he is so obsessed by his profession."This last one had already noticed Mika through a paper in the press. " He spoke about his childhood, and about mockeries which he underwent at school because he got dressed as a parrot. And I recognized myself. I say that we had had the same difficult childhood, even if we both crossed her successfully." Mika's one will nevertheless have known other events: when he is 8 years old, his father banker is taking in hostage during seven months in the embassade of the United States in Kuwait, at the beginning of the Gulf War. " My life really fell over at this moment. I lost my feeling of safety."[...] Today Mika has only an urge: do not base on his laurels and be renewed. " Even if it makes a little frightens. Everything arrived so fast. One and a half year ago, I was unknown. Today, this profession became all my life. Even if I keep the same circle of friends with whom I go on holiday and with whom I go out from time to time." In the solitude of his apartment of London (white with objects of color) in basement, which he did not want to leave, he collects furniture and the paintings of the australian artist Sophie Blackall (as well as the drawings of Jim Woodring and Tony Millionaire, two rather cult American draftsmen) and spend his days and his nights to work. Or to look for correspondences between his work and that of the other creators on the internet.As the one of this Indian artist, Ashok Sukumaran, who created "Glow Positioning System", a way of public GPS which allows people in the streets of Bombay to illuminate one moment buildings and monuments of their city. " And allows them to look the reality differently ". Mika, the lunar clown of the Parc des Princes, does not take himself otherwise." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
