COFFRET DE L'ESPACE

The ‘Odeurs Spatiales’ set of three candles, brings together conceptual smells created by contemporary french artist Philippe Parreno. 

Looking to the future, Parreno tried to imagine the smells of Space, the Moon and Mars. 

Contained in limited edition hand-blown black glasses, each selection comes in a limited edition of black presentation box.

ODEUR DE LUNE 

The smell of the Moon. Based on the NASA soil samples analyses, Cire Trudon created a dark and modern scent blending Metallic notes, Smoked Woods and Carbon.

ODEUR DE MARS 

The smell of the Red Planet. Mixing Gun powder, Sulphur, Menthol, Woods and Olibanum it is a captivating and unusual smell, the smell of the future?

ODEUR DE L’ESPACE 

The smell imagines a Space delicately scented with Spearmint, Pepper, Amber and Woods. A light and ethereal smell, just like Space itself.

a global CELEBRATION OF FASHION

(photo by Valérie Dray, Paris Vogue)

September 10, U.S. and international editions of VOGUE magazine coordinated an international Fashion Celebration Night in 12 cities around the world. 

Among these cities were the fashion capitals, Paris, New York, London and Milan as rising cities of la mode, Madrid, Berlin, Moscva and Tokyo.

The night was a global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion. With stylists and editors of VOGUE gathering and ensembling different looks with pieces specially chosen for this occasion for the consumer/fashonista coming out to support shopping, but most importantly to celebrate fashion together.

As the first of it's kind we certainly hope this celebration will continue and maybe influence a little night of our own at MA.

To think about, "An evening with MA"!

Best, 

MA

press: NATT&DAG

The AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 09 issue of NATT&DAG features an article on the fashion industry in Norway, "To sell a dream".

The article builds up on a discussion held with a group of people representing different areas of the industry, where MA represented one of the retailers. The discussion took on many aspects of the industry, but the most important message in the article is the position of the consumer, the norwegian people! How theire support, theire awareness and openness determines how this industry can flourish or fall in this northern country of ours. Read it, note it, then feedback.
