Haute Tease

  • Le Covid-19 et le Triptyque

    Si l’arrivée d’une nouvelle vague épidémique s’avère chaque jour plus certaine, celle-ci contribuera à alourdir un constat déjà violent où se côtoient faiblesses des systèmes de santé, lenteur d’intégration des réalités environnementales et omnipotence coupable des flux mondialisés.  

  • MrWatchMaster Meets…Louis Jalaber & Simon Szleper

    Today, we meet the duo behind the brand Atelier Jalaper, Louis Jalaber and Simon Szleper. Together, they've set the wheels in motion to realise their dream: the fusion of a watch and a 'mythical' car.

Dans un contexte d'excitation économique extrême et de fragilité, la Commission européenne sait que tout échec pourrait poser des questions sur la gouvernance commune.
