#33
 
Here we go again! Experience a new adventure every day with THE MINI INTERNATIONAL and the new MINI Coupé. Thanks to the latest MINI to join the family, every day is a good day. And did you hear about MINI revisiting the FIA World Rally Championship? We were on location in Sardinia for the first race of the MINI John Cooper Works WRC - and witnessed a star being born. The competition and the spectators were duly impressed. Other stars don't need quite so much talent: we give you some tips on how to become a starlet in double-quick time with the help of YouTube. As for the genuine megastars, photographer David LaChapelle has snapped plenty of those. In an interview with THE MINI INTERNATIONAL he explains why he is now using his photography to turn the world into a better place. But why not read all about it yourself.
Plus the latest hot tip: THE MINI INTERNATIONAL app is now ready to download from the Apple iTunes Store.

Replay Online - Jeans from the cathedral, the Replay success story

Replay Online
 
Replay is to fashion what MINI is to cars: a brand that unites tradition and innovation in perfect style. The jeans label, founded in 1981 by Claudio Buziol, hails from Asolo, a small provincial town northwest of Venice. The Replay complex itself - known as "the cathedral" - has a dynamically styled redbrick façade that could act as the backdrop to a Dick Tracy film. more

Gregg Gillis, better known as DJ Girl Talk, uses up to 150 samples to create his tracks. He shamelessly snaffles sounds from world-famous bands as diverse as Abba and ZZ Top.
