La Spire
“Create a community in a constrained environment”. With La Spire, Chloé Moglia invites six aerial acrobats (“suspensives”) and one musician for a wander in the sky 6.5 meters off the ground. Rather than a show or a performance, this is life experienced in and around a unique, ephemeral structure.

Façon Albert
In Nice, everyone knows Albert Goldberg by his silver mane and flamboyant elegance. The son of a tailor, it was in his father’s atelier that Albert first learned the craft before launching his own brand “Façonnable” in the 1960s. Thus ensued a global success story inspiring the likes of Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. With “Albert Arts”, Albert Goldberg continues to hone his version of what’s chic “façon Albert”.
