Supermodel Alex Wek published her autobiography last week. There is some interesting stuff in there, considering this book isn’t your typical “I’m beautiful, now i’m rich” model autobiography. Wek recounts a painful childhood rooted during a civil war in Sudan, searching the desert with her family for safety, water, and rest. Though some had reservations in her earlier modeling days, she has gone on to becoming one of the most successful models in the industry.She has triumphed over so much more adversity than most of us can imagine that Alex Wek will continue to be an intriguing subject.

“The prophet of Futurism” , as he has been referred to, Thierry Mugler is an instinctive designer who never looks for inspiration. According to Thierry Mugler, “intellect is the servant of the spirit.”

He strongly feels that his clothing is modernistic and not futuristic. Clothes of today should have nothing to do with the past. They should create elegance with simple form and structure and add defined shape to the body, volume, form and simplicity.

Part 1 & 2
A huge trend has risen lately in fashion; The Pop-Up Store. We have been following some of the freshest brands and Collectives popping-up in NY, LA, and London. what a better thing to do when you are visitng a place but throw together a store/ambiance where you can invite and host the people interested in your work. Paper Magazine hasnow taken it to another level. One hour ago I was at the launching of the 24 hour department store installation by Paper Magazine. what a brilliant idea and execution. I have been keeping an eye on their progress all week. They started setting up Monday to be ready by Tonight. i wanted to get there at exactly 6pm to see what it would be like outside, and as I predicted the line was growing fast and people were inpatient. I ran in to snap some pics and tell you guys all about it right away. the energy was great and the exhibitors were awesome. i cant wait to go back in the middle of the night to see what they are up to. Inside you will find exhibitors including Screaming Mimi’s, Opening Ceremony, Citizen-Citizen and many more.

November 1973 was the launch of Playboy France in honor of the 1970s Playboy style. The ’70s Playmates had more of the all-natural, girl-next-door look and this was their inspiration point for the November 2007 issue with Juliette Binoche,whose photographs have a soft, ethereal approach to them.

(Did you know Karl Lagerfeld was the photographer for their October 2007 issue? )

Cate Blanchett is a fashionista amongst the cookie-cutter
celebs today. Recently she’s been killing it on all the red carpet
events. Her cover on the new ID is reflective of her keen
sense of style.

The other day we posted a makeup story. How nice to find our day-look was spot on with Nylon’s “Classic American Beauty” article. We love this 1970s inspired natural look. Soft. Pretty. Fresh.

Snoopyand the Gang! Snoopy’s first ever group-designer fashion show ran during New York’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Betsey Johnson, Isaac Mizrahi, Heatherette, and Jeremy Scott were just a few of the designers to create a couture outfit inspired by the Peanuts characters.

INSTEAD OF FLOWER POWER, DEBBIE DID LEATHER

I once found a great Perfecto jacket at a secondhand store in California; it was really small, probably a child’s size. I loved it because most people were still wearing hippie-dresses to the floor back then, and we were much tougher with our straight-legged pants and narrow lapels – I guess you would have called our look Euro-mod. I used to hang around the New York Dolls, and they were definitely into those jackets. I remember having one that was black on the outside with red pleats in the back. Eventually, I started noticing lots of women in the music scene doing a “West Side Story” kind of tough-girl look with motorcycle jackets in different colors. My friend Stephen Sprouse did a cartoonlike version of the Perfecto, which I loved because it was almost to the knees. It’s cool that these jackets keep coming back – biker style is an American classic.

So, im glad that after 3 days of sitting around United Tradeshow and pondering over the absurdly
saturated industry that we are all involved in, i stumbled on this explotion of colors, letters, shapes
and good energy. PEGGY NOLAND is where it was at! i had the pleasure of asking Peggy herself
a few questions about how she got there are where she is heading. Featured above is an image
from Peggy Noland’s 35 sq. ft. store located in Kansas City, MI.

It’s hard to manifest in my words the power and layers of documentation that Gabriel Mendes achieves in his photos. He has been exploring this concept of street art and street profiles for more than 3 years and his photos feel more and more alive as this project continues to come together. This photograph made me gasp! Brazilian model Raika, styled for this street profile in queens right near PS1 Contemporary Art Musuem is approached by these two archival characters of our time. “Where did they come from” i kept asking, I cant imagine a more perfect visual brew. So fucking rock roll its almost ridiculous. I mean the hair, the vests, the skinny as hell jailbreaker and plaid pants (pants,no, leggings!), the boom box , the arts and crafts Chanel rebel skateboard, the cigarettes and THE FUCKING ATTITUDE! Someone throw me a freakin’ bone here.

whats your bid?

This cover of British Vogue is a major mark in time for me. Its brilliance will haunt me forever. The over exposed light, the cool colors and Agyness Deyn’s face. I cant imagine a better composition…Perfection as i see it!

Just got my eyes on this epic publication. Bulgaria Magazine is from Finland and has nothing to do with Bulgaria. Something about that feels weird, its like someone just came in, took my identity, patented it and then redefined it. hmmm. not really sure how i should feel, except for the fact that this magazine is one of the sickest printed visual explotions i have ever seen. props and kudos! be sure to check them out at their website and hit up their myspace.
