It’s Time for Show & Tell with the Vintage Camera Collection You Always Wanted

I found John Kratz and his camera collection on another one of my internet browsing adventures and was immediately taken with his sharp eye for vintage design. I love how some of his cameras just look like miniature art deco buildings. John is an experienced photographer, but here’s the thing about his collection– he hasn’t used a single camera……

Meet Slavik, the Homeless Ukranian Fashion Icon

As men’s Fashion Week is upon us and once again the fashion capitals fill up with the well-dressed elite, I would like to remind everyone that style isn’t synonymous with snobbery by introducing you to a homeless man so creative, the whole world is his runway. Meet Slavik, Ukraine’s most fashionable citizen. He once wandered around the city…

Peter Pan’s Hideout is Now Available to Rent on AirBnB

Once upon a time, there was a house in the trees, surrounded by the lights of the forest fairies, where the lodgers never grew up… and it came with wireless internet for a minimum two night stay on AirBnB! Okay so Peter Pan may not exactly be renting out his Neverland lair on AirBnB but there…

A Day with Charlie in Paris

We were late, we were late for a very important date. The march began at 3 o’ clock but Paris was blocked at every turn. So we took the highway and whizzed around the city with a little encouragement from the traffic regulators… We jumped in with the march, though more of a pleasant stroll…

The Abandoned House of Money and the Honorable Urban Explorer

It’s rare to find anything of photographic value left inside an abandoned place these days, let alone anything of real monetary value. It’s harder than you would think to find a house or a building that hasn’t been looted or vandalised; the memories tainted, possessions stolen and the history lost. But today, a tip from a reader…

Who Knew Bill Cunningham Made Haute Couture Hats?

“Who the hell is that tourist in the blue jacket with the fancy camera?” I wondered. It was my first Fashion Week experience: I was shadowing photographer Eddie Newton, holding up a reflector as he shot passing fashionistas outside of the Chloé show. While the hoards were running left to capture Anna Wintour, then right to catch Kanye West,…

The Tokyo Subculture of 1950s Rockabilly Gangs

They say rock’n’roll never dies, but there’s one slick-back haired subculture in a corner of Tokyo, Japan that’s making damn well sure of it. Suited up in full-leather gear and greased with obscene amounts of hair gel, the Tokyo Rockabilly Club has been gathering every Sunday in the city’s famous Yoyogi Park near Meiji-Jingumae station…

The 1960s Pucci Air Hostess Uniforms, Ideal for Mile High “Stripping”

I was doing my daily browse through Pinterest and came across this eye-popping photograph of two ladies wrapped around the staircase of an airplane cabin, unmistakably decked out in head to toe Pucci prints. By now we’re probably all aware that mid-century air travel was the bee’s knees, but surely, no airline ever actually dressed their…
