What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you say Jean Paul Gaultier? Stripes. White tees with navy blue stripes! Well, for all those lucky European girls out there, there’s a JP Gaultier stripey tee waiting for you at your regular newsstand, packet with the current Elle issue. Part of an awareness campaign [...]

No, there’s no joke here. If you’ll go down the children department in almost any store now, you’ll find a fair share of skinny jeans. For little girls and for little boys. While I look at skinny jeans for/on grown ups and slightly frown, I can’t help but wonder if it was really necessary to [...]

I’m going round this campaign for so long, it just seems like it’s been there forever and it just won’t go away. Like a bad, bad dream. Diesel used to make these wonderful, industrial ads!

Below is a video signed by Ryan McGinley, starring Abbey Lee Kershaw. It’s an ad campaign, actually, for Lewitt, a South Korean [...]

Now if you ask me that question, I’ll just pop-up, impolitely and quite aggressively saying “No lipstick whatsoever for my man!”. But I’m not the only voice that should be raised to answer this question, so I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion! Men and lipstick just don’t make good home in my view. My [...]
