The Wall 3 years, 6 months agoI am in regular contacts with Mr Lefranc who has been the head of “Marketing” for LB in the 60’s and the 70’s, meeting very famous artists (Picasso, Soulages, Dubuffet, Buren,….), developing partnerships with major art schools and also developing Lefranc at contest…He is a memory of the past of the brand, and we often share on some historical facts or souvenirs…
I have been visiting him in his Paris appartment last week for a coffee, after he told me he had been affected by a stroke at mid year and was slowly recovering (he is 93 years old). He was also curious to know how the business was going on in these current unpredictable and challenging times. He wishes us all good luck to handle it!
It was the occasion to discuss on an anecdote concerning Soulages (very famous French artist, master of the “absolute black”) who recently passed away and with whom he had a very interesting technical discussion. Soulages was in fact getting a black from mixingย Mars Orange to Prussian Blue (LB oils colours), and Mr Lefranc took the risk to recommend him to be very careful with Prussian Blue usage as this pigment can be too powerful and unstable for the preservation of the original shade.
A quick but lovely moment with a very respectful man of our company history…

Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .
“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water. At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.
"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
