Original Carhartt Jacket, Vogue Material!
January 18th, 2013 by kpriss
Remember we talked about Carhartt a while back? It was because (what else?) a certain Carhartt Jacket was worn by Joseph Gordon – Levitt in a movie – Looper, to be more specific.
Well, here we are, having the Carhartt conversation again because – well, believe it or not – a classic Carhartt work jacket was featured in the last issue of Vogue US. The pictorial in question is called ‘The American Way’ and it was photographed by Peter Lindbergh. The $85 jacket is worn by the beautiful Amber Valletta who’s starring in this photo story with Taylor Kinney.
41yo Jared Leto’s New Hugo Boss Hugo Red Campaign
January 18th, 2013 by kpriss
So how about that, huh? Jared Leto is most definitely part of the same league as Keanu Reeves and Denzel Washington. And I’m not saying that just because he’s a talented actor. Which he is. Too bad the movie industry lost him for the music stage as he seems more involved with his band than Hollywood at the moment.
But we’re still enjoying Jared Leto as the face of Hugo Boss in 2013. Here’s his latest commercial for Hugo Boss’ latest perfume, Hugo Red. The video per se (you can watch it after the jump), doesn’t make much fashion sense (especially when they say that ‘Red means Go’) except if you look at it from the Avengers perspective.
Karlie Kloss Vogue Spain February 2013: Long Hair & LACMA
January 17th, 2013 by kpriss
This is a very vibrant cover, bright, strong colors and Karlie Kloss’ blue steel gaze. But it could also be classified as ‘last season’ as we all know, Karlie’s haircut has received no less than 6 pages in the January 2013 issue of Vogue US.
Photographed by Alex Lubomirski, styled by Belen Antolin with hair by Peter Gray and makeup by Tyron Machhausen, Karlie and her fire red Gucci dress make a charming cover, but the pictorial within surpasses it. Despite of her undeniable golden covergirl material, Karlie’s Vogue Spain February 2013 cover does not live up to Kate Moss’ last month’s Vogue Spain cover standards, but she’s making a great fashion magazine moment nevertheless.
Katie Holmes 2013 Ad Campaigns: Bobbi Brown, Alterna Hair Care
January 17th, 2013 by kpriss
When the big news about her divorce took the world by complete surprise, one of the main questions planning over Katie Holmes’ pretty head was what would she do now, that Tom’s financial security is out of the picture?
She may have learned a thing or two from her life in the Red Carpet’s fast lane, though as we find out that Katie Holmes rolls out another ad campaign for the 2013 Spring! After Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, now Alterna Haircare. Two major ad campaigns in less than a month away (in release time)? Now that surely puts out those financial concerns, doesn’t it?
Dare To Wear Color Changing Nail Polish?
January 17th, 2013 by kpriss
What was I saying about nails earlier? That I won’t bother you with nails talk this time? Well, disregard that, please and let’s talk nails!
I was looking for some glittery nail polish for my usually French manicured nails. I did mentioned glitter in my pink Inspiration Board, remember? I find that, for some reason, glitter makes me happy. And happy is good. We need more happy! In my search for the perfect glittery nail lacquer, I came across something new, interesting and pretty useful: color changing nail polish. Are you familiar with the concept?
Spring 2013 Fashion Ads Target Strong Women
January 17th, 2013 by kpriss
A while ago I noticed the new M.A.C. Spring 2013 Ad Campaign, but didn’t think it was all that interesting. However, when the new Alexander Wang Spring 2013 Ad Campaign finally emerged today, it really made me think about that M.A.C. image I’ve seen…
What brought Wang and MAC together in my head? Something that could very well be a trend for this upcoming Spring season: strength. Strong women. In fashion. While MAC really makes a statement by putting female bodybuilder (and model) Jelena Abbou in their campaign pictures, Wang takes it on the softer, ambiguous, androgynous side of the strength story.
25 Pink Hair Styles To Dye For!
January 17th, 2013 by kpriss
2013 is proving to be quite a year already! Jodie Foster coming out in a public speech, on Live Television? (remember her Golden Globes Awards memorable speech I was telling you about?) That was only made possible by my coming out as a pink loving person!
What? It was just as ground shattering for me as it was for Jodie, I can assure you of that! I never imagined myself as a pink person. Actually, if anyone asked previous to my 2013 Inspiration Board moment, I would’ve assured him / her that I’m a black loving person. A gray loving person. But pink? Would’ve never crossed my mind! And still…
Liu Wen Is Golden In Vogue
January 16th, 2013 by kpriss
Not a day without Vogue! Sounds about right, doesn’t it? Except in this particular Vogue case, everything seems weirder than usual. I can understand and completely accept that you may not feel the same as me about Rooney’s cover, but I think that the Sandy pictorial hits the same question marks within you as it did within me.
Now please help me understand the following image! Masterfully executed by Patrick Demarchelier (and – you guessed it – featured in the same Vogue US February 2013 issue), Liu Wen’s golden paint picture has me wondering what’s it about.
Granted, I don’t know what the associated article is, all I have is the image. But – like they say, a picture’s worth a thousand words, and this one is more like a thousand question marks. I love the idea, though. It’s a classic, I know. But something about this image still leaves me restless – and I think it’s more than just the head / face piece… Should I just get over it and enjoy the general perspective?
