“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. Sponsored by Diesel, this time we see the coquettish model Ashley Smith take Cannes, the real Cannes. And it’s not as glamorous as one might think…. Didn’t see Part I set in [...]
“Who are you on Facebook if you don’t look good right? … And who doesn’t like likes?” A pretty hilarious new comedy sketch written by Miles Gray has just been released poking fun at the growing ‘culture’ that is Instagram. Sit back and giggle your way through this… Sorry Instagrammers, but you’re an easy target [...]
“Just admit that it’s Photoshop”, people tell fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky when looking at his iconic photograph of model Simone D’Aillencourt landing in a glass bubble on the River Seine in Paris. “But it was 1963,” says Melvin who designed the bubble for the surreal Harper’s Bazaar magazine spring shoot. The plexiglass bubble was hung [...]
Summer is, hate to say it, o-v-e-r. So what else is there to do on the first Monday night of September? Drown your sorrows in a little retail therapy I say! 1. Building Blocks Leather Bags This bag looks good at any angle… held like this… or this… or like this… I have a bag [...]
Not to be confused with your average airplane barf bag or something to carry around that mushy banana you didn’t eat for lunch– I present to you the latest accessory on le fashion scene, a Jill Sander brown paper bag, retailing at (drum roll please) $290. Yes, two-hun-dred-and-nine-ty. Can adorable puppies be pulled out of [...]
I like to call them Auntie bags because my auntie used to wear one in the 90s all the time. Although she wasn’t exactly my style icon, I have to admit she was onto something. Backpacks are definitely on their way to a major fashion comeback this year and I have to say, I’m [...]
I think it’s safe to say I go through a lot of vintage and historical material everyday–archive after archive… So when I came across these colorful, all-in-good-fun artworks over iconic portraits of the past, the prints literally jumped out at me. I don’t know much about the artist except that he/she is probably from London [...]
Fashion tends to repeat itself … a lot. In fact sometimes it’s seems that is all it does is ‘borrow’ from another decade, another era. But let’s take a gander at some very interesting styles that today’s designers haven’t yet sent down the catwalk…. 1. Embroidered Knee Highs Knee highs were like, so hot in [...]
I found these incredible panoramic photographs from the roaring twenties which are just fascinating to observe close up, girl by girl, one bizarre bathing costume after another. Even better, these prints are available to buy in formats as large as 44″ x 227″. How amazing would these be in an entrance hallway?! CLICK ON IMAGES [...]
