I always preferred good advertising campaigns for fast fashion retailers. The good ones! There’s something relaxed, authentic about some of them, a broken rhythm you won’t find in haute couture/luxury houses ads. Gap’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund’s collection this year is on the khaki. Savannah moods, urban jungle looks, Gap’s khakis are signed by Alexander Wang, [...]

i-D’s 300th issue is celebrated with three different covers. In content and styling also. Sigrid Agren by Alasdar McClellan is the first wink and her cover looks like just pulled out of an i-D winking photo booth.

Today, Valentine’s Day, I give you another series – Models Before and After – starting out with, logically, the first episode. Models. How many times we fancy about them? About their life, their opportunities, their clothes? How many numerous times we judge them? Their life, their choices, their looks? This is not of them too [...]
