1883 Interview with Ilona Platace

I interviewed model Ilona Platace for 1883 Magazine, check out the full interview and editorial on 1883 Digital!

The Birds and the Beehives

The beehive obsession continues….I need my hair to grow a bit longer before mine can reach fashion heights but its a work in progress :) See more on my Tumblr.

Fly With Me

1883 Magazine‘s editorial “Fly With Me” was shot by Valentina Frugiuele, who I interviewed for 1883 Digital. See the full editorial and full interview here.

Kate Moss/Balmain Video

Balmain has released a video version of their fall campaign, and it looks like they had some fun in After Effects to make it a little magical. Watch below for Kate Moss’s magic chameleon hair and the adorable smoking aliens and hand monsters that visit her as she poses.

Real Men Wear Clown Noses

Just sayin’. Richard Pier Petit’s “Clowning by Numbers” featuring Michael Catarama and styled by Eugene Ong. More on FashionIndie.

P.S. I’m currently blogging on the Greyhound bus in Canada, on my way back to Boston. Oooh technology.

Night Night

This surreal fashion video by Pearly Films is “…based on falling asleep in front of the TV and experiencing a nightmare. With the aid of night vision goggles, the viewer sees the model first agitated and scared by the nightmare but then gets drawn into the dark world and becomes the nightmare itself”. The video features the beautiful Sohui from Beauty in Filth and designs by Lucy Kenney.

The Birds

I love this very Hitchcock-ian spread by photographer Alex Prager for W. Styled by Caroline Tate Angel and featuring Irina Lazareanu.

Rebel Trash Barbeque

I’m not going to obsess over how much I love Jeremy Scott because I have devoted way too many blog posts to that subject. Instead I will let you feast your eyes on the deliciously trashy, fleshy, NYC-repping, punk rock, clever tongue-in-chic fiesta of an SS11 collection!

I want a garbage bag skirt! I’m completely serious, I think its adorable…the only problem is off the runway it might just look like, well, a garbage bag. Ah, the illusion of fashion! The soda can getup is genius as well;

What do you guys think, ridiculous, awesome, or ridiculously awesome?

Hair Envy

I’m having a major hairdentity crisis right now…its too short to do anything with other than my current Louise Brooks bob and I’m totally incapable of growing it out. Curses! Current inspirations;

Water & Oil

How do you guys feel about the controversial “Water & Oil” Vogue Italia editorial inspired by the oil spill? Personally I think its stunning, but I understand how it could be seen as an offensive glamourisation of a serious issue…thoughts?

Corrective Lenses

Things I love: Nicholas Hoult, Skins, Freja Beha Erichsen, Tom Ford, giant nerd glasses, crows.

More Tom Ford eyewear AW10/11 after the jump, apparantly shot by Mr. Tom Ford himself. 

Miu More

Everyone is raving about the new Miu Miu video campaign for AW10/11. The models look gorgeous, the makeup is amazing and the clothes are of course incredible but I feel like the video could have been more creative. The models are Ginta Lapina, Lindsey Wixson (love her), Siri Tollerod, and Daphne Groeneveld.

Thoughts?

Innocence

Catholic School never looked so good…Miranda Kerr shot by Greg Kadel for Numéro #114, “La Mauvaise Éducation”.

War Hero

You can always count on Dazed for their creepy yet stunning editorials…”War Hero” was shot by Richard Burbridge for the July issue, and styled by Robbie Spencer. See the rest of the editorial here.

Molten Slinky

Iris Van Herpen AW10. Looks like she’s wearing molton slinkies…in a good way.

(P.S. Doesn’t “molten slinky” sound like a band name?). See more images after the jump.

Tights On Top

I’ve noticed people styling tights over dress shirts and boxers and so on in a way I haven’t seen before…new trend? I love the Vivienne Westwood example (after the jump) but I’m sort of hoping this doesn’t become a mainstream trend :P

Butterflies and Trashbags

This summer’s MUST-HAVES: Purpleface and flower lashes.

You can’t go wrong with trash bag couture…

Drowning

This is old but too good not to post…via Vogue Nippon. How good does the McQueen print look underwater?
