The Little Snob
A 20-Part Series For ARTE TV On Luxury And Style
The Little Snob is a tv magazine programme inspired two great quotes by the unmatched Oscar Wilde:
„Let me be surrounded by luxury, I can do without the necessities.“
and
„I‘m a man of simple tastes. I‘m always satisfied with the Best.“
The little SNOB is rinsed by irony, but this doesn‘t prevent the format from dealing with the substantial side of the best things in life. A very special consumer‘s magazin, elegant, stylish, refined, with a snobby sense of humour, and bunch of hard boiled information. It often turns out that the real best food and clothing is also the best environmentally. Visiting the Irish eco Salmon farms or the finest chocolate makers of Valrhona in French Rhone valley.
A magazine with a twinkling eye, with German fashion design hero Wolfgang Joop as a regular contributor, as well as great interviews about taste and style, with people like Giorgio Armani and Bryan Ferry, Europe‘s greatest chef, Alain Ducasse, and writer Phillippe Djian, British Rockstars Francis Rossi and Elvis Costello, Olympic ski champion Markus Wasmeier and clown legend Oleg Popov, Winnetou star Pierre Brice and the world‘s greatest fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh.
The little SNOB gained cult status also for the stylish, avantgarde graphic design. See the trailer!
