VOL.01
So I went sniffing around the LIFE Archives again and this time found some rather unusual photographs from an underwater fashion show, taken by Sam Shere in 1947. There wasn’t much more information than that available on the quirky event, but in one of the photographs of a model standing around the pool, I spotted a [...]
Pick a bathing suit this summer that allows you to go back to being a kid again when the only thing that mattered was building sand castles and crashing into the sea– not how far your bikini bottoms were riding up your ass. So I’ve done some digging for you and here are my picks [...]
Apparently Keira Knightley and her co-stars improvised their way through this thirteen minute short, making their lines up as they went along. The film celebrates 100 years for the French luxury brand, looking back at Coco’s first pret-a-porter shop in Deauville that was financed by her lover at the time, Arthur ‘Boy’ Capel. I’m not [...]
He was selling custom-made clothing to Hip Hop’s finest for thousands of dollars a piece, fashioned from rolls of fake Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Fendi prints imported from Korea out of his Harlem boutique during the 1980s. His name is Dapper Dan and before the likes of Kanye West and Rihanna were doing it, this [...]
Every once in a while, a fashion brand does something that stays with you and swims around in your head for a while, making splashes in your memory until you realize, maybe I want to own that? This is what happened to me when I came upon the Ten & Co 2013 lookbook. As you [...]
That pink suit! It is by far the most dapper suit I’ve ever seen on a man (Robert Redford helped a little too). And with the highly-anticipated remake about to hit our screens, some fashion people went and did some really clever marketing. Brooks Brothers has teamed up with the men’s costume designer of the [...]
Mixing Justin Bieber’s perfume and the scent of Jersey Shore’s Snookie with an Eau de Chanel? Cause for Coco to roll over in her grave no doubt, but that’s exactly what Dutch artists Lernert and Sander did when they combined 1,400 samples of every new perfume launched in 2012 to create Everything. Packaged in a pretty neat bottle, a [...]
If you’ve been patiently awaiting the next Wes Anderson flick ever since you saw and adored Moonrise Kingdom, this three-part little series should quench your thirst for the time being. Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola teamed up to shoot the advertising campaign for the new Prada fragrance, Candy. Starring the charming French actress Léa Seydoux (from Midnight [...]
Finally someone inside the fashion industry is talking about the elephant in the room and what a parody of itself the street style phenomenon has become. The short documentary by Garage magazine interviews a refreshingly down-to-earth fashion journalist, Tim Blanks who gives us his theory on the rise of “peacocking” street style stars and asks [...]
You might have noticed that sneakers are back in style this year and designers are scrambling to do collaborations with all the iconic sneaker brands. But maybe Apple should think about bringing back these vintage Reebok-esque sneakers featuring the company’s iconic rainbow apple logo! Made available only to Apple employees in the early 90s, these sneakers were [...]
