I love Devon Aoki…she has such a striking, different look. I think she and Milla Jovovich were my first favorite models before I really started getting into fashion, mostly because I’d seen them in movies. In Devon’s case it can mostly be atributed to the fact that I loved Sin City and 2 Fast 2 [...]

Style Icon: Cry Baby Girl
When I was younger, I thought Wanda from Cry Baby was the epitome of cool. The movie came out the year I was born, which might have something to do with my obsession with John Waters, leather jackets and baby doll bangs. I idolized Wanda’s mountains of blonde hair and retro winged liner. Oh to [...]

Poésy
“I am interested in costume. Clothes in your daily life are important: your choices say something about you, even if what they’re saying is about non-choice. And what you wear in a film is crucial. A film is a great deal about what you see, and the silhouette of a character tells you a lot.” [...]

Grandma’s Leftovers
I love Alice Glass. She has awesome style but she doesn’t give a fuck. She describes her style as “more grandmother’s leftovers than heroin chic”.
Band tees, colored tights, pencil skirts, cardigans, chuck taylors, leather jackets and ten pounds of black eyeliner.

Last Words
“Fashion film is something that has come out of my passion for video and film making, as well as my love of fashion imagery. For me, it is broader than just something being directly linked to the fashion industry.
It is the use of fashion imagery, clothing, models, lifestyle, that can take on a cinematic [...]

Black Rainbow
I’m always impressed with people that layer tons of black but still create a really interesting look by using different textures…Curtis Y. on Lookbook has it down to a t. Also, homeboy knows how to accessorize! Check out his Lookbook and his blog.

Style Icon of the Week
This -ahem- week’s style icon had to be really epic to make up for the weeks that I have skipped this section of my blog. Therefore I thought it would be appropriate the author of one of my favorite fashion blogs; None other than the fabulous BryanBoy himself, the Marc Jacobs-rocking fashionista who has been [...]

Fashion Icon of the Week
This week’s fashion icon is Slevin Kelevra (played by Josh Hartnett) in Lucky Number Slevin (Paul McGuigan, 2006). Even though the man spends a lot of his screen time wearing nothing but a flowery purple towel (hey, I can’t complain), he knows how to rock a sweater vest. I love the nerd-chic look of the [...]

Ruby saves the world in style in The Fifth Element, fighting aliens and opening mystic stones with perfectly applied ruby-red lipstick and fabulous shoes. There is no such thing as too much with Ruby Rhod; his signature silhouette is the skin-tight body suit with wide, structured open [...]

Style Icon of the Week
This week’s fashion icon is Anna Estella. With her trademark beehive hair and super girly designs, Anna is a triple threat as a designer, hair/makeup artist and a model. In the same way she says “fashion goes far beyond just clothes”, her style and vision as a designer goes far beyond trends. Check out her [...]

Wild Things
This photo is so unbelievably awesome, I just love everything about it. I am reminded of Where the Wild Things Are…cuz he has claws, but they’re soft and fuzzy : ) The pose is brilliant and I love ingenious knitwear (and skinny guys with claws, of course, heh).
I’m kinda borrowing this picture from The Coveted…I hope that’s [...]
