As promised with Michel Gutsatz’s portrait, from the Le Jardin Retrouv\u00e9, I suggest you follow me and meet Clara Feder, his wife, the creative director of the brand. So let’s discover who is Clara Feder, a pluridisplinary artist, inhabited with her imaginary world and always fueled with art and litterature.<\/p>\n

Who is Clara Feder ?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tell us about your career ?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have a full career. After film making studies at The New York Film School University and an MBA in new technologies in France, I started working for the cinema, before writing about twenty books under the pen-name Virginie Michelet. In the end, it has been a life swinging between words and images such as books and paintings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been surrounded by my mother who was an art expert, and a grand-father, a painter. So I grew up in a surrounding where aestethicism and visual art were very present. And even to the point that I realize that beyond the words, images do exist. These images that I wanted to explore in order to create others.<\/p>\n

Today, I can say that my style of art is very much linked with litterature from which I draw my inspiration to create art performance, drawings, and also my work on photographs and videos. It is all this creative work <\/a>that I dedicated to Le Jardin Retrouv\u00e9.<\/p>\n

How did you come across the perfume world ?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I approached the perfume world, thanks to Yuri, along with his poetry and the whole Gutsatz family ! As far as I am concerned, perfume is the result of a wonderful encounter between a sophisticated odor, our own personality at a precise stage of life, so to form a conbination between 3 unique and miraculous elements.<\/p>\n

Do tell us about the Jardin Retrouv\u00e9 fragrances ?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I nearly like them all. Each one moves me in their way. I have been touched by Rose Trocadero, on the evening I wore it and cried. I adore Verveine d’Et\u00e9… It does me a lot of good and gives me energy. Citron Boboli surprises me and amuses me. And without forgetting that Cuir de Russie is my passion. It is just like Yuri, it is like Michel. A man, a woman. It is a fragrance full poetry and reality…. a true<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When was your first encounter with Le Jardin Retrouv\u00e9 ?<\/span><\/h3>\n

At first I went through a poetic and sad time with Le Jardin Retrouv\u00e9 <\/a>as Yuri was not there anymore. On the other hand, his wife Arlette loved him so much that when she talked about him, I could feel his presence. It is thank to her that I got to know this grand creator that was Yuri.<\/p>\n

In fact, it is due to Arlette that I felt like giving life again to this wonderful human and historical adventure full of love.<\/p>\n

Then, still thanks to her I had access to a whole corpus of drawings, poems, photographs and sound-tracks. So such Michel and I can refer to those fabulous records.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us more about your complicity with Arlette Gutsatz ?<\/span><\/h3>\n

We got along well, straight away. As she was graduated from the Marseille Fine Art Institute Arlette had a good pen stroke, a very acute eye, and a real sense of organisation. It is with her brave and fighting character that she was able to manage the marketing and artistic section of the brand.<\/p>\n

While Yuri was in charge of the creation. He also fonded with Jean Kerl\u00e9o the Osmoth\u00e8que located in Versailles today.<\/p>\n

Is it a pure hasard or coincidence ? The Jardin Retrouv\u00e9 is still managed by a married couple with the only difference that I am the artist and Michel is in charge of the business. Just the opposite of Yuri and Arlette !<\/p>\n

In an other way, Le Jardin Retrouv\u00e9 belongs to the history of the family and magnifies its meaning by a poetic dimension which goes well over the brand.<\/p>\n

What was Yuri’s vision onto the Jardin Retrouv\u00e9 for you ?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

As you know Gilles Clement is a well-know gardener, a botanist and an entologist. More, I remember what he said in his book : A breaf history of the garden “The first garden starts with the one that a man has chosen in order to stop his wandering.” It is just what happen to Yuri, of russian origin exiled in Berlin, and then in Paris, who decided to stop wandering.<\/p>\n

That is how he designed his Jardin Retrouv\u00e9 as an oasis so to preserve his creativity. Then he decided to trust himself  to trust his marriage and his life.<\/p>\n

What is your vision of The Jardin Retrouv\u00e9 today ?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
