Marie-Lune’s ultimate goal: snatch up the latest fashionable bag on sale in her favorite shop – the one that goes
perfectly with the great boots she has not bought yet, but surely will.
The fact is, none of Marie-Lune’s bags is big enough to carry the tons of money that her super-rich father throws at
his darling little girl! And even her socially-aware twin sister Ka cannot change her mind: shopping and big brands
are a fundamental part of Marie-Lune’s life.
However, that does not make her life any easier, because all of her friends are also spoiled teens. Being friends only
with girls who think they are the center of the universe is no easy task. And when the competition between them
extends from bags to boys, Marie-Lune is ready for battle!

randonnée (parcourir les ChampsÉlysées, c’est de la marche) ; course de
vitesse (à l’ouverture des soldes, si
vous n’êtes pas rapide, vous rentrez
chez vous sans rien. L’horreur !)...
Et puis, il faut avoir l’esprit de compétition. Attraper la dernière chemise
Hugo Buss, ça requiert une volonté
d’acier. N’oublions pas la musculation !
Un sac Padra ne pèse pas si lourd que
ça – mais quand on les achète par 12 ?
Ah ! J’allais oublier les risques potentiels : de foulures du poignet à essayer
les sacs ; d’ampoules à force de faire le
code de la carte Gold de papa ; de migraines à comparer les bijoux Chanoul
durant des heures… Être au top en
matière de shopping, ce n’est pas à la
portée de la première venue.
Anne-So et moi, on fait le maximum
pour être les meilleures, on s’entraîne
intensivement pour garder le niveau, et
surtout, on se soutient mutuellement.
Sauf pour les soldes : c’est chacune pour
soi. Bref, si le shopping était une discipline olympique, je serais médaille d’or.

8 Ways to Draw an Elephant
This unusual art activity book featuring the Indian elephant introduces
children to a variety of Indian art traditions. The elephant is imagined
and rendered in eight different folk and tribal styles. Through tracing,
patterning and coloring the elephants, the child can immerse herself in
detailed exploration of styles, or just have fun.
Between Memory and Museum
This pioneering dialogue with 38 extraordinary folk and tribal artists
from across India focusses on the idea of a museum — particularly for
communities historically regarded as anthropological subjects. In their
visual responses, artists reflect on the museum as an institution, and the
way it preserves, creates and disseminates knowledge. Do these
representations communicate a lived life? What are the artists’ own ways
of remembering and passing on tradition? And finally: who has the
power to put whom in a museum?
THE CLOTH OF THE MOTHER GODDESS
Hand block-printed on textile, this limited-edition artists’ book consists
of a sequence of folding panels, designed to invoke pre-modern –
particularly Asian – traditions of bookmaking. At the same time, the
panels recall and recreate a Mata-Ni-Pachedi - the ritual ‘Cloth of the
Mother Goddess’ - and tell the story of its origins.
The tactility of the book invokes the labour and craft that have gone
into its creation, deepening the viewer’s enjoyment and understanding
of the art tradition. The images featured in the book have been painted
by Jagdish Chitara, who belongs to the Vaghari community of artisans
from Gujarat in western India
