Not as dark as Alexander McQueen, actually pretty romantic, the YSL film, directed by Samuel Benchetrit encourages true love. Or something like that. Partly because I [...]

It is yet unclear to me why beautiful women and airplanes go together like a horse and carriage, but that’s the way marketing is.

Seeing Anna Selezneva advertising for Yves Saint Laurent had such a terrible déjà vu, I have to question my Kate Moss likeness. Maybe the fashion consumers of the world have to have a Kate Moss in every models generation. Kate Moss from YSL Spring Summer 2008 Manifesto looks so much like Anna Selezneva (or the [...]
