Autrefois symbole du glamour tropical à Hollywood
puis longtemps considérée comme le summum de la ringardise,
la chemise hawaïenne fait son grand retour.
Broadcasting on Nouvelle Calédonie 1ère on Tuesday, October 3rd
Et pour nous raconter cette belle success story, le journaliste Antoine Laguerre, passionné par Hawaï, est parti à Waikiki où elle est érigée au rang de patrimoine national. Première économie de l’île après le tourisme, cette chemise rapporte 500 millions de dollars par an au 50ème état américain.
En à peine 80 ans, les chemises hawaiiennes sont devenues l’icône des tropiques et se sont imposées comme un emblème de la culture pop. Inspirées des kimonos japonais et des imprimés floraux tahitiens, portées à l’origine par les surfeurs et les plagistes, elles ont conquis le monde. Depuis une dizaine d’années, elles reviennent en force. Les collectionneurs les ressortent de leurs écrins. Reflet de la diversité culturelle des îles du Pacifique, l’Aloha Shirt véhicule l’esprit des îles.

The era of synthetic biology,
building living matter from DNA and genes,
will be a revolution for science.
Just as synthetic chemicals have revolutionized industries for a number of years, a new form of synthetic science is about to change the way humans and scientists think about the living world. Biology 2.0 discovers what nature would never have made and what man is in the process of creating, modifying genetic code to create products as varied as bacteria that fight disease to synthetic leather for handbags.
This three-hour series travels around the globe to take viewers to the heart of this emerging science, from its promises and questions, to its discoveries and realizations, providing a unique opportunity to examine and evaluate the issues and stakes being raised. From the production of energy to new bio-materials, synthetic biology could usher in an era of greater efficiency, lower costs and reduced pollution in the 21st century, but at what cost?
