La citation suivante est affichée dans l’école de mes enfants : «Lorsque les pères s’habituent à laisser faire les enfants, lorsque les fils ne tiennent plus compte de leurs paroles, lorsque les maîtres tremblent devant leurs élèves et préfèrent les flatter, lorsque finalement les jeunes méprisent les lois parce qu’ils ne reconnaissent plus au-dessus d’eux l’autorité de rien et de personne, alors, c’est là, en toute beauté et en toute jeunesse, le début de la tyrannie.» Platon. C’est fou, il y a plus de 2 300 ans, les Grecs avaient déjà le même genre de problème avec leurs enfants ! Par nature, je ne suis pas vraiment portée sur l’autorité. Mais, à force d’entendre, notamment ma pédiatre, que mes enfants ont besoin de cadres fixes pour grandir, je me fais violence. Pas facile, mais pas question d’en faire des enfants-rois.

NYFW countdown: Pre-Fashion Week cravings
“Due to the lack of time and sleep, we tend to eat a lot of takeout and junk food under the guise of treating ourselves for all the hard work we’re doing. We allow ourselves to eat anything guilt-free. Greasy Reuben [sandwiches] from the diner or a lumberjack breakfast always work well to calm those cravings.” -Costello Tagliapietra duo Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra
Stockholm Syndrome, part till: Byredo’s trip down memory lane
Each of his cleanly packaged perfumes, body washes, lotions and candles are inspired by a significant personal memory. “One of my earliest was the way my father smelled. And what I tried to do with Byredo was identify my scent memories with a collective experience. I think many people have a memory of their father or mother through smell in some way,” he explains. “I’m trying to translate emotions and feelings into smell.”
So far, his approach is working. His brand has been closely associated with Stockholm’s current renaissance, which includes Acne and Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair. “It’s a group of people who understand the traditional aspect of Swedish design and choose to take it a step further,” he says. “I think the aesthetics of what some of the other brands do is very different from mine, but the ambition is the same. We’ve learned from our big brother brands like Ikea and H&M that we can translate what we do globally.”
