CRASH est un magazine français independant, disponible en kiosques, lancé en 1998 par Frank Perrin et Armelle Leturcq. Avant de créer CRASH, ils étaient critiques d'art et ont fondé la r***e Blocnotes. Ils ont fait partie de cette nouvelle génération de crtitiques d'art français qui a marqué les années 90. En créant Crash, ils révolutionnent le paysage de la presse française (dixit François Bizot

, fondateur d'Actuel.) Crash arrive comme un ovni avec une volonté délibérée de changer les choses : maquette minimaliste, sans accroches de couvertures, visuels très avant garde mais beauté de l'objet, idées innovantes, très grande part donnée à l'image. Crash était complètement en phase avec l'émergence de la French touch avec des artistes comme Air, Daft Punk, Michel Gondry etc. Dès le début des années 2000, ils réalisent des couverture avec la nouvelle génération : Sofia Coppola, Phoenix, Super Discount. Crash a commencé à progressivement attirer de grands annonceurs du luxe comme LVMH, Chanel, Dior, qui avaient cette volonté de dépoussiérer leur image, de toucher un public plus jeune ce que pouvait largement leur apporter Crash. Crash est une plateforme pour tous les nouveaux talents et son équipe est devenue internationale. La mode et le cinéma sont les sujet principaux du magazine, la mode prise comme phénomène culturel, avec tout ce qu'elle véhicule sur notre époque. Crash est ainsi le seul magazine français qui ose mixer luxe et culture urbaine, à l'image d'une nouvelle génération de consommateurs avertis. Tiré à 80 000 exemplaires avec une version anglaise difusée à l'export, le lectorat de Crash, 20-45 ans sait reconnaitre le magazine comme un référent et y trouvent tout ce qui nouveau en terme de culture et de style de vie. En dix ans d'existence, Crash a su développer une crédibilité haut de gamme et est devenu un réferent dans la presse française.

Rei Kawakubo unveiled her beautiful Comme des Garçons Homme Plus Autumn/Winter 2025 collection in Paris, presenting a thought-provoking commentary titled « To Hell With War. » True to her reputation for pushing boundaries, Kawakubo deconstructed military iconography to challenge its associations and reimagine its role in contemporary fashion.

This collection broke down the conventional army symbols into reinterpretation shapes of uniform, colors, and camouflage patterns. Traditional helmets were transformed as avant-garde headpieces, designed in collaboration with Nobuki Hizume, adding a surreal and sculptural touch…

Kim Jones now reimagines men’s fashion with the Dior Winter 2025-2026 collection, juxtaposing extravagance with simplicity, tradition with modernity. Inspired by the iconic Ligne H created by Christian Dior in 1954, men’s couture is celebrated through innovative volumes, from fitted to flared silhouettes, highlighted in reinterpreted opera coats.

The show unfolded in a venue that combined the grandeur of an 18th-century opera house with minimalist modernity. The runway, a luminous pathway, reflected the chiaroscuro motif of the collection, alternating between warm golden tones and cool shadows to emphasize the garments’ details and the theme of transformation.

The music by Michael Nyman provided an emotional journey, echoing the evolution of menswear explored in the collection. Opening with a haunting orchestral composition that blended baroque influences with modern electronic undertones, the score set the tone for the fusion of historical and contemporary styles.

CRASH 104 ‘THE ART ISSUE’

COVER 3: For a long time, Myriam Mihindou did not consider herself an artist. After graduating from art school, she traveled and worked in many countries to better understand the world. There, she conducted interviews and art therapy workshops. In 1999, at the age of thirty-five, she was persuaded to hold her first solo exhibition at the Frac Reunion. It revealed to the public the exceptional singularity of an artist-shaman who has since exhibited in the most prestigious venues.

She is currently enjoying a not-to-be-missed solo exhibition (curated by Daria de Beauvais) at the Palais de Tokyo until January 5, 2025.

CRASH 104 ‘THE ART ISSUE’

COVER 4: When Akerman’s intimacy reveals the turmoil of history

Chantal Akerman, filmmaker, writer and artist, needs no introduction if only to consider her practice nine years after the artist took the plunge, inaugurating what art critics have studied under the term “expanded cinema”,or “revealing the mechanisms of film”, and which has even spilled over into the way an exhibition is conceived, where the object is dematerialized, giving way to a montage of ambiences and installations that invite the visitor to play an active part in the materiality of the space they traverse.

Travelling, Chantal Akerman’s exhibition at Jeu de Paume-Paris ends on January 19, 2025. Special Late Openings from January 15 to 18, 2025, every evening until 9 PM.

BACK TO ABRAXAS

A fashion story from Crash 89 shot by Chris Lensz. Photographed at two spaces in greater Paris designed by the Catalan architect, Ricardo Bofill, this series confronts the utopian schemes of collective and social housing with fall/winter 2019 fashion lines.

The vast retrofuturist cit of Abraxas is one of them, and its powder concrete that has lent a backdrop to many films; the other is the Arcades du Lac Complex in Voisins-Le-Bretonneux and its unique blend of historical forms and modern materials.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOEMIE MERLANT!

In light of 's film "Les Femmes au Balcon" releasing at the end of this year, we revisit Crash’s interview with Merlant from 2021. Directed, co-written and starring Noemie, the film is a comedy horror that follows three young women during a heatwave in the South of France.

During her interview, Merlant discussed her father’s role in her acting career stating, “But my father felt that I was going to be interested… maybe because I did a lot of shows as a child, I don’t know. He told me not to study a traditional subject and to go into acting instead…”

She has earned two Revelations at the César Awards for her performances in “L’Orpheline avec en plus un bras en moins” (2011) and “Heaven Will Wait” (2016). "Les Femmes au Balcon" will be released in France on December 11, 2024.

Images derived from the film 'Odyssey' directed by starring Noemie Merlant with the pre-Fall 2020 collection.

SANGUINE BY LUC TUYMANS

The famous painter curated the Sanguine exhibition at the in Milan. Focusing on the Baroque movement, Sanguine presented works by contemporary artists together with Old Masters like Caravaggio and Rubens. Tuymans opted to explore the violent and dramatic side of Baroque art by inviting artists known for their dark, often terrifying depictions, such as Edward Kienholz and his landmark work Five Car Stud. Representing a collision between distant eras, the exhibition breaks down the traditional codes and categories of art history.

Captured for Crash 86 ‘The Art Issue’ and interviewed, Tuymans discussed the inspiration for the exhibition, his work as a curator and the evolution of his work.

Tuymans currently has an exhibition showing in Beijing from from November 16, 2024, to February 16, 2025 at the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art. Titled “Luc Tuymans: The Past,” it is the first comprehensive presentation of the acclaimed Belgian artist in China.

Curated by Peter Eleey, in close collaboration with the artist, this landmark exhibition spans the full scope of his career, with 87 works created between 1975 and 2023, including some of his best-known paintings alongside those rarely seen.
