As the summer approaches, the press review by Michel Philippot turns lighter with this photograph taken in front of a boutique of the brand Desigual, which offers a new sales concept: 2 free garments for the first 100 customers that arrive scantily clad. Information for amateurs. On another register, the images from Times Magazine invite the reader to the cures of rejuvenation. An example? Joan Collins, 78 years old, Husband collector.
Next to these light images, the demonstrations continue in Athens, the police suppress the disorders in Ireland, accusing the protestant loyalists for having provoked them. The last image was featured in The Guardian, an artistic diversion of a statue in Sofia, Bulgaria, quite funny, even if we can easily imagine that this humor was not liked by everyone.
