I know you were holding your breath for this one (lol) so here it goes: The Sartorialist book review! It would come as no surprise at all to see the logic scheme presented earlier repeating itself over and over in the 512 pages of Scott Schuman’s chef d’oeuvre. You have 46 cigarettes presented by either [...]

We all (somewhat) remember M.I.A.’s Grammy’s performance. And I’m not talking about her vocal qualities! I’m talking about her 9 months pregnant self, on the Grammy stage, performing while (heavily) with bébé. Well, M.I.A.’s now introducing Ikhyd (I’m still puzzled about the spelling), her 5-month-old son. And what do you know? He’s wearing a very [...]

Right in the middle of couture Fall Winter ad campaigns, let me bring you a sunnier vision with Ray-Ban’s Summer 2009 Collection! Fearlessly indemodables, a Ray-Ban is the absolute vision must.

Dark waters and crimped hair beauties, the Prada Fall-Winter 2009/2010 ad campaign brings together Anna de Rijk, Julia Hafstrom, Katlin Aas, Kendra Spears, Ymre Stiekema under Steven Meisel’s lenses. (the story continues with [...]

I thought I’ve been writing my way around tattoos enough but still there’s room for yet another tattoos and fashion article! This one has been brought to my Inbox attention (thanks, Tim). I’m sure you’re already familiar with the absolute tackiness of allover branding. The stubborn way of logos sticking to our wardrobe as a [...]

Jason Wu’s talent has only begun claiming a fair and square fashion spotlight and he’s already working the dream/fantasy side of couture. With his very own catwalk as inspiration, Jason Wu dresses up dolls chez Colette for $300. Yes, he started out as a doll designer, but this year he received the presidential first dance [...]
