In 2024, we had the pleasure of interviewing Ella Rumpf ( ) for Crash 102. The french-swiss actress captivates the film world with her striking versatility, moving seamlessly between horror, psychological drama and auteur cinema. From her César-winning performance in Marguerite’s Theorem to her memorable role in Tokyo Vice, she continues to assert herself as one of her generation’s most compelling screen presences.

We look forward to her new film ’Couture‘, coming out February 18. Directed by Alice Winocour ( ) and alongside Angelina Jolie and Louis Garrel, Ella is marking yet another bold step in her evolving career.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Christian Astuguevieille. A multidisciplinary designer, visionary creative director and a singular force in the world of perfumery.

As a long-time collaborator of Rei Kawakubo, he played a pivotal role in shaping the olfactory identity of Comme des Garçons, redefining the language of fragrance through instinct, experimentation and total creative freedom. His work moved fluidly between art, design and scent, leaving behind a legacy that expanded the boundaries of sensory creation. Beyond scent, his collectible furniture and objects carried the same poetic, tactile language. Using raw materials such as chestnut wood, bark and rope, he was blurring the line between functional objects and sculpture.

We had the honor of interviewing him for Crash 105, where he reflected on his journey, his creative philosophy and the chance encounter in Japan that led to the house’s first fragrance in 1994.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones and all those touched by his vision.

We’re deeply saddened by the fire that ravaged the studios and workshops of artists Michel Blazy ( ) and Jean-Luc Blanc ( ) on the night of February 9.
This space has served as a place of creation, work, and transmission for a wide community of artists and musicians for over two decades and more recently as home not only to the two artists but also to Samuel Blazy, the Promesses label, Roman Crouigneau, Laurent, and many others.
Thankfully no one was hurt, but the material damage is immense, with studios, archives, artworks, instruments, and years of work lost in the flames.
A fundraiser has been launched to help clear, secure, and hopefully rebuild this vital creative environment. If you can, please consider supporting and sharing:

Every contribution makes a difference.

We revisit our fashion story with Alison Oliver ( ) in Crash 102.

The Irish actress made her mark with the viral success of Saltburn, directed by Emerald Fennell, and was named one of Variety’s “10 Actors to Watch” in 2023. Known for her deeply transformative approach to acting, Alison brings a thoughtful understanding to every role she takes on.

Now she returns to the big screen in the upcoming film Wuthering Heights alongside former Co-star Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, once again collaborating with Emerald Fennell.

LAURIE SIMMONS: BLACK & WHITE

”For CRASH issue no. 107, Armelle Leturcq interviewed the american artist Laurie Simmons ( ). Influenced by the rigid social roles of 1950s and 1960s suburbia, she began deconstructing domestic norms through her iconic dollhouse photographs in 1976. For her solo exhibition in Paris, she presents these foundational works alongside new AI-generated images that revisit the same figures through contemporary strangeness.“
