Eva Green surrendering her soul.

"It’s not a job. It’s almost like a faith or a religion. every time, I give a bit of my soul.—Eva Green"

By Mark Jacobs

Photography Paolo Roversi

Eva Green, she of the smoky eyes, dark French beauty, and seemingly impenetrable temperament, has always existed more than a continent away from the Katherine Heigls of Hollywood. The 30-year-old actress first emerged in 2003 with her revealing debut in Bernardo Bertolucci’s lush, sexually charged coming-of-age film The Dreamers. Then her sexy and cerebral performance as Bond girl Vesper Lynd in 2006’s Casino Royale was arguably as integral to the success of the 007 franchise’s relaunch as DanielCraig himself. Her big-screen ascendance has also yielded a second, very lucrative sideline as a face of luxury (she has beenfeatured in campaigns for Emporio Armani, Lancôme, Dior, and Montblanc, among others).

But Green, who splits her time between London and Paris, has always seemed to want more (or, in some ways, less) out of her film career than a succession of blockbuster sex romps and feel-good comedies might provide. In fact, she has tended toward smaller films awash in big and, at times, difficult modernist themes: Having recently appeared in the boarding school thriller Cracks, the directorial debut of Jordan Scott—daughter of Ridley Scott, Green’s director in 2005’s Kingdom of Heaven—Green’s upcoming projects include Perfect Sense with Ewan McGregor, a haunting love story set against the backdrop of a world in the throes of a global epidemic, and Womb, an even more eerie one about a grieving woman who chooses to birth a clone of her deceased lover. (Perhaps Green’s predilection for the dark and idiosyncratic is inherited: Her mother, actress Marlène Jobert, worked with Jean-Luc Godard and Louis Malle.)

Adam Kimmel kicking the boundaries.

Adam Kimmel has been catapulted into the realm of fashion fame over the last few years through his creative transference of unlikely inspirations into tailored, exciting and at times slightly outlandish menswear. In this short video piece, filmmaker Benjamin Morsberger captures a series of intimate moments with the designer – recalling private memories about working with iconic photographer Jim Cranston for his “Marlboro Man” collection, New York-based artist George Condo on his “Casino” collection (who could forget those ghoulish masks), and even launching a spontaneous block party in Paris during the photoshoot for his Snoop Dogg-inspired “Hip Hop” collection. The video is only a couple seconds over 6 minutes long, but it does an excellent job of providing real insight about how Adam Kimmel provides the catalyst for seemingly bizarre inspirations to turn into “masculine, classic, beautifully tailored garments.”
