With your Sloft Édition 10 magazine, our Sloft Édition City Guide special Biarritz — included free! And then there were ten! Some issues prove more symbolic than others. They sum up a journey travelled and the milestones that shaped it. This issue 10 is therefore an anniversary issue. And every anniversary calls for a surprise: we are pairing this issue with a little sibling — our first City Guide, dedicated to Biarritz and its special connection with cinema through the Biarritz Film Festival - Nouvelles Vagues. It is in this city that the French New Wave was born. It is also where a certain Mademoiselle C. opened her first couture house outside of Paris to dress the summer visitors. "With too much extravagance, you don't dress people, you costume them," said Gabrielle Chanel. The same goes for interior design: you tip over into décor. In this tenth bilingual issue: 8 Exclusive Home Tours This commitment to a creative, innovative, beautiful and sustainable simplicity guides and inspires us. A bioclimatic apartment in Madrid, a house built like a tower in Seoul, a traditional mazet reimagined as a country home… our new harvest of living spaces paints a joyful picture of how we bring our desires, needs and constraints into dialogue to create unique solutions that redefine our times. A special feature on "shared living" Precarity or loneliness — individual housing has its limits, of course. But what if there were initiatives to reinvent it through the lens of community and solidarity? Welcome to UTOP, a cooperative building in Paris, to which we dedicate our special feature. An exclusive interview with Simon Johannin "If you want to reshape your existence, I invite you to do it here." This is how the writer and poet describes his encounter with his Marseille apartment — the culmination of a long search to finally find a space where he could feel at home. It speaks to the vital importance of adequate shelter, without which life is stripped of quality. In his books, Simon Johannin explores the limits of our era and searches for ways to move beyond them. In our bilingual Sloft Édition City Guide special Biarritz: 2 Exclusive Home Tours Biarritz is a city of architecture. Its rich built heritage is testament to that. It is also a city of interior design, where local talents adapt the "Biarritz style" to the feel of the sea and the spirit of the times. An interview with Jean-Marc Lalanne A Biarritz local by heart and by adoption, the Cinema Editor-in-Chief of Les Inrocks and regular contributor to Le Masque et la Plume explains why the city was the cradle of the French New Wave — and the unique place it holds in French cinema. A fashion series inspired by Éric Rohmer's The Green Ray This key figure of the New Wave set one of his most beautiful films on the Basque coast, and in Biarritz in particular. As Jean-Marc Lalanne puts it, Biarritz is the city of miracles, where the impossible becomes possible. We had fun revisiting the complicity between Delphine and Lena. An interview with Jérôme Pulis The president of the Biarritz Nouvelles Vagues Film Festival tells us what makes this festival unique and the place it gives to emerging talent in the world of cinema. An artistic stroll through Biarritz Beyond cinema, the city of Biarritz hums with a vibrant arts scene where design, fashion and contemporary art each leave their creative mark. A Surf Portfolio We couldn't explore Biarritz without talking about surfing! We follow surfer Margot Arramon-Tucoo as she takes us to her favourite spot. Happy anniversary Sloft Édition — and long live the new waves!
