Some info about Foundation Cartier:

"The Fondation Cartier expresses Cartier´s commitment to the arts as a corporate patron. A pioneer in the field, Cartier invests on an unrivalled scale to promote the art of its time. From its inception in 1984, it has established a long-term commitment to artists of all nationalities.

For Cartier, patronage is not just a one-time deal based on current trends and movements, but an enduring choice that is constantly reaffirmed. Cartier has developed a different kind of patronage through its exhibitions, its collection, and its production of artwork. Its keen interest in the arts is especially visible in its commissions policy: a key feature of patronage, commissions reflect a total commitment to artistic production, from the moment of conception to the finished work.

The Fondation Cartier pour l´art contemporain enables Cartier to maintain its image as a company attuned to the latest creative innovations, providing a forum where freedom and originality can thrive."

Vanity Fair's Cover Blown

Vanity Fair blew its load on this cover for its recent Hollywood Issue. The cover, VF's most expensive, features Hollywood's brightest starlets of tomorrow draped in Dior and Cartier. How glamorous! Only question we have is - where are the ladies of color? Ok they threw in America Ferrera (quite possibly because her name is America, an ode to assimilation, idk). Is this too critical? Surely the future of Hollywood is not just a white light but a shimmering rainbow?? Last time we checked it was 2008.
