Prada Final Fantasy
April 9th, 2012 by kpriss
A couple of days ago, we were talking about Prada designing for the Italian Olympic Sailing Team. If that was mostly because of Prada’s CEO (Miuccia’s husband, Patrizio Bertelli) passion for sailing, I’m really curious where this unusual collaboration with Final Fantasy (the famous RPG game) came from!
In short: Prada designed the costumes for Final Fantasy’s 25th Anniversary’s characters. To bring even more attention on the FF fashion matter, the game characters lined up for a pictorial in Arena Homme+ with clothes from Prada’s Spring Summer 2012 men collection (there’s an entire press release on that matter here). Call me conservative, but this editorial is as creepy as possible! I have nothing against couture gaming, but CGI fashion pictorials work against my style. Completely. But maybe that’s just me. How do you feel about CGI (computer generated imagery) pictorials in fashion magazines? (if Final Fantasy is what you’re looking for, you can buy your copy here)
I think I mentioned this already, but I’ll say it once more, though. Because I really have a crush on Zooey Deschanel. Her quirkiness is absolutely enchanting and her new TV series (New Girl) is all kinds of lovely. Not to mention her fashion style – which doesn’t always match my taste, but fits Zooey like a glove, deserves the style icon accolade. Marie Claire May 2012 cover seems to bring out the glam in nerdy Zooey. Fancy that?
Up Fashion. Photography. Inspiration
April 9th, 2012 by kpriss
One of my favorite movies ever: Up. I know I told you that before and I know you weren’t necessarily ready to hear it again. But I found Up to be so inspiring, it often pops up in my mind Monday morning. Bringing me inspiration for a brand new week.
I found this lovely photo session from one of the most talented couple of photographers I’ve had the pleasure of seeing online with a really irresistible theme: Up. Recreating Carl & Ellie’s home and life style was an easy task with Lisa and Geoff Bardot (The Goodness) who are just as charming as the real deal! So this is just one of those moments in fashion articles I like every once in a while. Hoping you’re enjoying this brief Up – break just as much as I am! (below: Blue Lily photos of Lisa and Geoff Bardot)
Art & Deco, Easy Like Sunday Morning
CJG. Any idea where that comes from? Chloe Jade Green. Yes, as in Sir Philip Green’s daughter. When Kate Moss ended her collaboration with Topshop is was rumoredly because of Chloe wanting her own fashion slice in her father’s Topshop cake. And 2012 is the year CJG shoes collection breaks in stores. I doubt, however, that the CJG jade soles will push Chloe’s fashion to the same level of fame as Kate Moss’ collection.
CR, Carine Roitfeld’s Magazine First Issue, Fall Winter 2012
April 9th, 2012 by kpriss
After weeks of speculations and rumors, the name of Carine Roitfeld’s next editorial project has been unveiled. Nothing simpler – the magazine will be called CR Fashion Book, like Carine used to sign her editorial letter back chez Vogue.
A mock – up cover has been presented for advertising purposes (contracting & so on) and, wwd has learned exclusive details about Carine’s upcoming Fashion Book. Besides what we already knew, that the magazine’s first issue will see the light of the newsstands this September (issue 0 reads the mock up cover), Carine vowed it’ll be different. Also irreverent, but different. (more images right after the jump)
So have you heard that Jessica Simpson has a Louboutin lookalike sandal in one of her recent shoes collection? The sandals in question, which sold at apx 10% of the original Louboutin sandals’ price, could very well bring legal trouble in Jessica Simpson’s fashion empire. Do you think Louboutin will ignore Jessica’s copycat? Below the image of the two sandals: at left, Louboutin’s Staratata ($995), and Jessica Simpson’s Evangela at right ($98).
Victoria Beckham’s Harper’s Bazaar China May 2012 Cover. Amazing!
April 9th, 2012 by kpriss
How are you my dahlings? How do you feel now that the egg hunt is over? Must we talk fitness already? Let’s put that on hold for the moment. Let’s all gather round and admire this amazing cover!
Harper’s Bazaar China May 2012 with Victoria Beckham is like nothing you’ve seen of Posh so far! Not only is she looking like she’d be half the age she really is (Victoria is going to celebrate her 38th anniversary in less than a week), but the styling is so becoming, that Victoria looks torn from some fancy video game! The photography was flawlessly executed by Chen Man and, after the jump, you’ll see two more images from the inside pictorial.
