Rapture Riders

Thank god its freaking Friday people! I guess you could say my Friday started last night though. After a crazy week of projects and junk for school I needed to get the EF out of my apartment, and that I did! Weekends are great and I wanna party like a rock star! My rock star you ask? DEBBIE HARRY! Total babe and she just is awesome, plain and simple. Here are some shots I love of this platinum blonde babe!

Aliens and Animals

There are some stylist out there that are just so damn good at what they do and Kattaca is definitely one of them. Kattaca is a boy girl team made up of Madrid, Spain's Carol Gamarra and Mario Ville. They definitely have a distinct style that's over the top and resonates in your mind after looking at them. Here is one of my favorites from Kattaca, it comprises of lots of hair and structured clothes, oh did I mention lots of hair! The editorial was titled, Nonsense In The Dark, for Avenue Illustrated Magazine.

Unleash The Tiguhhh

Last night I was at Tigerbeats which seems to be the new party night of Philadelphia and you know what I'm not hatin'. Philadelphia's favorite SPANK ROCK made an epic appearance doing their rap thang and it was totally kick ass. Which takes me to my next point. I love street fashion, you get to see what people wear everyday, rather then look at a magazine with a model dressed in the best designer clothes that most of us can't afford anyways. Don't get me wrong I love it, but it's good to see from time to time what normal people wear.
Courtesy of my lovely friend Cheryl Vu, I took some pictures she had from Tigerbeats that I loved and put them with party pictures from Studio 54, which is probably the most famous party place ever.

UNISEXY TIME

I never really appreciated my schools library until recently. Discovering an array of fashion magazines from many years ago, but also books and Internet resources I can't normally get on at home. Why you ask? Well, because I'm poor and don't want to pay for them! While browsing all the sites I could get on, and clearly not doing school work, I came across Hint Magazine. As I was browsing, seeing what the magazine had posted on the site, I saw that the manager of Seven New York was featured because of the appropriately named 1to3 AW2010 design. It is a garment that can be worn various way depending on how you adjust the strings and fabric, as shown below. OH, WAIT! DUDES CAN WEAR IT AS WELL!

Jesus Christ Superstar

Recently Lindsay Lohan has been doing a good amount of nothing, but in her defence when she is doing something it's always controversial. First she does fashion editorial, if you will, for Muse Magazine which was AWESOME!(SEE FIRST POST) Now she is JESUS! Breaking news people Lindsay Lohan is Jesus....I always knew there was something special about her. Not only is LL Jesus but the model on the March Issue of Vogue Japan (Thanks to Nicola Formichetti, Lady Gaga's stylist) is too! I guess Jesus is so in right now....one must ask themselves WWJD, and if we are talking about LL as Jesus well you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want.

Oh Hey There Baby Doll

Why is Vogue in every other country so much better!? I ask myself that every time I look at other Vogue's from Japan to Germany to Italy. I was discussing this with my friend in the design lab as we looked up fashion editorials, is it because as Americans we are to safe? We can't thing outside the box? Or are we just boring? I think it is a combination of all of them.
This Vogue Italia editorial isn't anything epic and I'm sure your could find something like it in a Vanity Fair or Harpers Bazaar, but its pretty sweet considering you have models such as Jamie Bochert, Daphne Guinness and Agyness Deyn. Oh! did I mention it was photographed by Steven Meisel and styled by Lori Goldstein who used looks from Poppa Karl (Lagerfeild), the great Alexander McQueen and Lanvin.

Classy Lady

The 11Th issue of Black Magazine published a great editorial that was a scandalously sophisticated. Photographed by Paul Empson and appropriately titled Noir Et Nuit there is a mix of nude photographs of model Marloes Horst outside on a balcony in just a pair of killer shoes and structured lace hat by Pierre Cardin to wearing a tweed suit by Chanel.

I Got A Fever

Ever since I saw Fever Ray's acceptance speech at P3 a Swedish music award show, she got me thinking...whats her deal? First a friend mentioned her outfit, which was red from head-to-toe resembled the ever so popular and amazing Gaga from the MTV music awards, but NO when she lifted the vale that was covering her face this is what we saw....



MELTING FACE!

Lets just say I had to see more...










She is extremly innovative and definatly a artist rather then just a singer/song writer, I can't say I fully get it but I deffinatly dig it!

Hey Jesus!

Total Babes....

All Black Everything

Unfortunately today, the beginning of fashion week our beloved Alexander McQueen passed away. He was truly an innovator, rest in peace Mr. McQueen.

In 2008, when Yves Saint Laurent died Vogue Italia dedicated a spread in the magazine to remember his life and his clothing. In dedication to the great YSL and McQueen here is some of the photographs from the magazine...

Behind Closed Doors

Lindsay Lohan recently did a photo shoot for Muse Magazine. I would never say the ever so popular LL, who is known for what's up her nose rather then her acting or so called singing skills is a muse of mine, but after seeing this video from the ever so scandalous photo shoot she officially made me jealous. I couldnt help but ask myself, where is my private party?




In case the video wasn't enough for you here are the steamy pictorals from the photo shoot....
