Filed under: Fashion , Celebrity , News , Designers & Brands , Celebrity Style Tilda Swinton — seen here with actress Marisa Berenson — is red hot in Jil Sander for “I Am Love.” Photo courtesy of Magnolia Pictures Tilda Swinton ‘s latest star turn is as a wealthy, unfaithful wife in the Italian-language film ” Io Sono L’Amore ” (” I Am Love “), which opened on Friday. Produced by Silvia Venturini Fendi of the famous Fendi family, and with characters dressed by Fendi and Jil Sander ‘s Raf Simons , the film is practically fashion porn. (And for fans of more traditional porn, there’s some of that, too!) Oscar-winner Swinton not only pulls off the whole film in Italian, but her character also requires her to do it with a Russian accent.

They call this the Komunal approach and have a social charter highlighting its principles. Below the text, a list of groups that are related to the initiative.

Commons-based Urbanism (2): introducing the Komunal approach
Republished from January 2010, on the occasion of the launch of our new wiki section on Open and Free Business Models : The Commons has the potential to replace the commodity as the determining form of re-/producing societal living conditions. Such a replacement can only occur, if communities constitute themselves for every aspect of life, in order to take „their“ commons back and to reintegrate them into a new need-focused logic of re-/production
