They say the name ‘flea market’ first originated from the legendary Paris antiques market of St. Ouen, when an unknown bargain hunter in the 1880s looked down from nearby fortifications, observed junk dealers selling their scrap and allegedly exclaimed, “My word, but it’s a market of fleas!” In reality, it is anything but. On my [...]
Anyone that saw the September Issue will know who Grace Coddington is and probably fell in love with her just like I did.

You might remember the sassy New York casting director Preston, from his memorable “I Made that Baby” episode of ‘Model Files’, when we first came across the can’t-quite-tell-if-it’s-reality-or-not web series. Since then, I was glad to see five new episodes ready for my viewing pleasure in the midst of my fashion week [who-will-I-make-fun-of-now] withdrawal. Sit back and [...]

More evidence of the fashion apocalypse that was the 1970s! “I don’t know what they do to your feet but the manufacturers and the fashion editors say, ‘Not to worry, they look great‘”. (This must be how the brainwashing started). A vintage documentary from the archives of British Pathé, rounded up some Londoners for a [...]
Because seriously, what were they thinking? The earliest signs of infection: People standing around in spread eagle pose, looking upwards. Soon men started hanging out together in tight, colorful underpants: One word people: EUROPANTS. Nothing made sense anymore… Oh so that’s why nothing is happening … I’m not wearing Eleganza. Men in shiny shirts [...]
Anyone else had enough of the same old fashion week news coverage? A web series from VICE is here to save the day.

So let’s escape all that pretentious fashion week coverage and take a [...]
“I wear your grandad’s clothes. I look incredible.” I‘m no expert on the intricacies of today’s rap music so I can’t really comment on whether the song is kiiind of a sh*t sandwich or not, but this is also one of those ultra confusing and challenging occasions in modern media culture when you can’t tell [...]
That quirky French magazine Jalouse, has just come out with a Part Deux for the tongue-in-cheek viral video Une Fille Comme Les Autres.
