Chic ! meets those seeking alternatives, with their surprising initiatives, offbeat life-styles and unusual creations.

This magazine deciphers trends in fashion, architecture, gastronomy and design, revealing a world of creativity and wellbeing.
Innovation, the unusual, pleasure, and sustainable development are not just the stuff of creatives tey concern everyone!

A road-movie that takes us on a trip all over the planet in search of pleasure, and the worlds of desire and sexuality.

Nothing is more universal than carnal desire, yet nothing is more diverse than the various masks it wears.

Mohei Honda is one of Japan's most innovative tea masters. He experiments, purifies and reinvents the ancient art of tea, which he presents as a perfect antidote to the frenzy of today's world.

Through the personal quest of this young, determined and visionary tea master, a whole generation takes shape, trying to build another Japanese society that could reconcile ancestral values and the modern world, where man and nature would have their full place. Mohei does not intend to stop at the Shizuoka region, at the foot of Mount Fuji, he also travels the country in a "tea truck" with, as his ultimate destination, the conquest of the Tokyoites...

This prime-time documentary depicts a day in the hectic lives of a few members of New York's high society, and takes the form of interwoven portraits of the city's most influential and powerful personalities, in fashion, politics, film, literature, music and more.

We follow some of the Big Apple's most powerful public figures as these kings and queens of New York move in their circles of glitter and gold, of personalities and power.

Inspired by the city, they in turn, inspire the world. New York is their oxygen and opium. They dictate trends and shape opinion. They are envied and imitated. They are New York.
We spend a week in the company of these well-connected hotshots.

There are interviews with Jay Mc Ierney, Benjamin Millepied, Vito Schnabel, Diane von Furstenberg, Daniel Boulud and Elisa Sednaoui, among others.

Interviews with famous personalities such as Carole Bouquet, Paloma Picasso, the "nose" Jean Kerléo, Jean-Paul Guerlain and Serge Lutens are interspersed with accounts of perfume "recipes" to waft us into the heady world of perfume creation.

This film is the story of perfume through the ages. It takes us through the different stages a new perfume has to go through before it can be launched, from the moment when the fragrance is created to the complex manufacturing and marketing processes. It explores the reasons why we use perfume, and asks what makes one fragrance successful whilst another is instantly forgotten. At each stage, the celebrities and designers who put their name to a perfume, the "noses" who combine ingredients to produce a new fragrance, and the marketing experts and packaging designers who build an image around it take us behind the scenes of the international perfume industry.

The report accompanies an Indian woman and her son, who sacrifice their hair to a temple. It then follows what happens to their hair as it becomes part of the "temple hair" business.

Our hair can be a reflection of our personality. It should be strong, thick and shiny, but often it is short, lifeless and thin. That is why more and more people are turning to other people's hair. The splendid, artificial hair comes primarily from India, and is produced mainly from hair that has been sacrificed in temples by believers.

Dressed in pink from head to toe, 62-year-old Etti - as she is known to her customers - has run, for more than 20 years, a beauty parlor in Sumatra, where traditional Islam and femenity perfectly go together. 

Etti's salon is a veritable institution for all women of the Indonesian island region. Posters of Asian beauties portray the latest trends - even if the most important hair decoration for many women remains the headscarf. Since Islam is the main religion on Western Sumatra, hair-coloration and make-up were for a long time considered impure.

The film traces the career path of Etti, the self-confident entrepreneur, and accompanies her on her tightrope walk between traditional Islam and a modern attitude.

What does being a woman mean in contemporary Cambodian society, where the massacres of the Pol Pot regime still echo, and where the Khmer identity is still trying to establish itself, between maintaining traditions and the spectacular evolution of its capital Phnom Penh, driven by the Asian economic boom?

Beauty and physical appearance have become important issues in today’s Cambodia, in order to find a job and exist socially. Benefitting from the influence of other models and lifestyles, an increasing number of Cambodian women are attempting to push back the boundaries of a conservative society. All the characters in this film reveal a country that is in the throes of change, in which they do not which to play secondary roles.

All over the world, when it comes to making love, and giving and receiving pleasure, people invent strange rituals and disturbing fantasies.

From the "Become a better lover seminars" in India, to solitary pleasures in San Francisco, via the adoration of the phallus in Japan - countries and civilisations explore the paths of pleasure in their own way.
Different erotic cultures become inextricably linked and exported, following desires. Hindu Tantrism can now be found in the forests of Bordeaux, but still with the same desire to explore the wanderings of orgasm.
In the Ivory Coast, the appeal of speech is cultivated. Isn't one of the pleasures of sex talking about it ? For girlfriends to exchange love tips with each other? And meanwhile, Japan has come to terms with its fantasies, opting for technology to create docile sex dolls that are realer than real, and "pleasure clubs" to satisfy their every desire.
A guided tour of what turns on, intoxicates and sometimes even repels.
