One of the literary and philosophical themes that has fascinated me the most is the theme of existential boredom.<br \/>\nThe title Un roi sans divertissement refers to the sentence that closes the novel and that Giono borrows from Pascal&#8217;s Pens\u00e9es: un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de mis\u00e8res (fragment 142 of the Brunschvicg edition).<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-3206 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/75461704b33dd6db-tatachristiane.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"915\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/75461704b33dd6db-tatachristiane.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Les Rois Ambigus 2 Berlin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/75461704b33dd6db-tatachristiane.jpg 915w, https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/75461704b33dd6db-tatachristiane-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/75461704b33dd6db-tatachristiane-768x515.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 915px) 100vw, 915px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h2>Les Rois Ambigus 2 &#8230;The Meaning of Craft \u2013 Slow Fashion as Resistance<\/h2>\n<p>With this moralistic question, Giono signals and shows that man, in order to escape from his existential boredom through entertainment, can go as far as the fascination of evil.<br \/>\nThis theme runs through literature. For me, one of the answers is the artisanal act that the practice of sewing and crochet represents. This is one of the reasons why I have chosen to keep my hands on my production by making almost everything myself in <a href=\"https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/contact\">my small <\/a>workshop<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tatachristiane.com\/contact\"> in Berlin<\/a>. This is why the notion of <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Slow_fashion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">slow-fashion<\/a> makes sense to me.

But the real wealth is not to be found where we would like to believe. They are in nature and in ourselves; they are therefore accessible to everyone; rediscovering them gives joy and peace.<br \/>\nThis is what Giono tells us in &#8220;les vraies richesses&#8221;. This book was written in 1936, but it seems to have been written for today.<br \/>\nMore than an ecological manifesto, it is a philosophical and poetic account of the destiny of man and nature: we have disintegrated spirits by disintegrating the spiritual forces that were necessary for us to live. Humans cannot do without magical dwellings. We are cosmic elements&#8230;<br \/>\nGiono is a prophet.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.critiqueslibres.com\/i.php\/vcrit\/27289\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Free Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3423 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/22861704b311d457-tatachristiane-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"Les Rois Ambigus 2 Berlin\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/22861704b311d457-tatachristiane-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/22861704b311d457-tatachristiane-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tatachristiane.com\/univers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/22861704b311d457-tatachristiane.jpg 915w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Les Rois Ambigus 2 &#8230; Between Cities \u2013 From Paris to Berlin<\/h2>\n<p>Les Rois Ambigus 2 are still the first steps of the label between Paris and Berlin.

It was an incredibly exciting time. I didn&#8217;t really have a clear idea of what it meant to create a label.<br \/>\nI worked for 3 years in a super restaurant in Berlin to finance my early work as a designer. I am very grateful to this restaurant, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneeweiss-berlin.de\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Schneeweiss<\/a>, who gave me the chance to work for them when I had no experience in this field.<br \/>\nOn the other hand, I also chose Berlin because of the quality of life I found there despite my small income. Berlin is a city which at that time had a low standard of living. It is a great opportunity to start a business.<\/p>\n<h2>Les Rois Ambigus 2&#8230; Read More \u2013 The Paris Chapter<\/h2>\n<p>Much of the sourcing approach for <em data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"437\">Les Rois Ambigus 2<\/em> continues the story that began with <a target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"474\" data-end=\"574\">Les Rois Ambigus 1 \u2013 Paris<\/a>. My methods were shaped by a deep belief in <strong data-start=\"619\" data-end=\"642\">resourceful fashion<\/strong>\u2014where creativity is guided not by abundance but by constraint. I sought out vintage materials, surplus fabrics, and forgotten treasures from flea markets in both cities. These unique finds became the foundation for ceremonial garments that blur the line between costume and couture.
