What we write about a preface commissioned by a friend, a good friend ? It is first the first question I asked myself. Because presentations of texts, introductions on various topics and varied, it happened to me and I must admit it’s pretty easy as long as the topic is not about a person …
I met Jo Yana – Jo for friends (and we are many) May 28, 2007, I know one who will be surprised by the accurate but I know that time because I was so excited that he in idea of meeting a big fan as Jo. He was so excited (it has not changed), we saw each others at the old port in Marseille, we discussed a lot, and I think the current is passed immediately. He was one of my most loyal TV viewers, at the time I officiais in issuing Interiors broadcast on Paris Première. I learn that “look at me” in reruns at night when it gets up at 4 am to go to work, then it was bake r! The little boy (he will forgive me) he was, he’s a little too, wanted to change the world or at least make it nice. He had already established the Deco-Design blog, a passionate space to talk about decoration and design.
We must put things in context, we are in 2007, in its immediate and less immediate environment it acceded to that through design magazines and tv screen, but it had and has such a thirst for learning that it does not miss any crumb. It feeds and runs his forum with passion and it is natural that it creates the site Deco-Design.biz.
But his desire to learn, to know, to discover, does not stop there. A few years later he created a blog to its JoYana.fr image, more general. Fashion will take pride of place, the burgers also … beating hearts also. Follows a long period of cohabitation between the two blogs. Two communities coexist, sometimes intersect but still eventually end up.
For its two areas of expression are not they complementary? At a time when designers show the fashion codes and modes of creators develop collections there was no time to bring everything together? Together in a single space these disciplines? This is the question that we asked, the answer was obvious: Yes.
Jo Yana is above all a passionate, JoYana.fr is the story of passions.
