Bruno Verjus in TA NEA: "The way we choose to eat determines the world we live in"

20/07/2026

The way we choose to eat determines the world we live in. That is the thesis Paloma Castro follows in Ta Nea, reading Bruno Verzus not as a chef with two Michelin stars but as someone who keeps arriving at the same place a few years before the rest of his profession and waiting, smiling, for it to catch up. His new site shows almost no food at all, turning cooking into thought and image, and the source of that clarity turns out to be a house by the sea in the Mani, between Sparta and the birthplace of Helen, where beauty was never separated from the everyday. The real work of a chef, the piece argues, may finally be not a plate but a sensibility.

Agatha Ruiz de la Prada: "In fashion you are never alone – and that is your protection"

10/07/2026

Real luxury is ecology, and colour is a form of seriousness rather than its opposite. That is the thesis Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada defends in conversation with Paloma Castro for Ta Nea's Νουν, moving from her first memory of fashion in Tangier to her attachment to Greek light and her decades spent dressing people, at accessible prices, in more than 150 countries. The veteran Spanish designer reads here less as a subject than as an argument for a way of belonging to the world: in fashion, she insists, you are never alone, and that is your protection.

The Economist - The arts in Paris are booming—and trying to nip at London’s heels

24/10/2023

The rivalry between France and England is long-running and bitter. The Wikipedia entry for “France-United Kingdom Relations”, at more than 15,000 words, is almost the length of a novella. Since William the Conqueror did what his name suggests in 1066, the French and English have vied for superiority with swords, guns, words and—more recently—art auctions.
