The Creative Muses Dwelling In Partizan Director Alice Kong’s New York Abode

Paris-born, New York-based director Alice Kong’s thing for retro references doesn’t just shine through in her work, but also in the items she surrounds herself with.

With commercials for Old Navy, Longchamp, Gucci, Vogue, The Met, and music videos for Vendredi Sur Mer, Bon Entendeur, Darius or Ichon, demonstrating her attraction to absurdity, the Partizan director was always going to showcase some treats for this column.

Here, she talks through the thrift shop finds that have captured her heart, the tree she’s always wanted, and the four-legged friend that’s probably killed it.

The Fig Tree
As you may have noticed I put a capital letter to Fig and Tree.

That’s how important it is to me.

I’ve dreamt of having a Fig Tree forever.

I just moved into my apartment in April, and this is the first time I’ve had a place with direct sunlight, allowing me to own this tree.

In my mind, it is just like a Rolex.

Only thing is, my dog just peed on it, so we’ll see if it lasts.

The Dog [That Peed On The Tree]
This is Spaghetti.

And I live in Little Italy.

Just picture how people’s brains short-circuit when I tell them his name in the neighbourhood.

He’s the bestest boy.

He will do anything.

I almost pity him because he’s overly nice.

Head to shots for more!
