The Weird Asthetic Of Marc Jacobs New Ad Campaign: Lily McMenamy, Edie Campbell
June 3rd, 2013 by kpriss
What was I saying earlier? About the trend makers setting some really weird general lines for this upcoming fall’s fashion and overall style? Well, here I am at it again, with a new ad campaign hinting at style oddities.
I understand that everyone and their respective fashion dogs bows before Edie Campbell’s charms and that Lily McMenamy rolled out her royal fashion pedigree on the catwalks of the world, but this Marc Jacobs ad campaign is far from being appealing in any fashion sense. It’s not even inspiring or funny. Is weird. And even slightly offending if we’re to take Lily’s grin and compare it to a certain health condition.
I’m really disappointed at the new aesthetic of this fall’s fashion! Juergen Teller and Hedi Slimane for YSL and Marc Jacobs respectively captured the visual oddity more than the style inspiration of the next fashion season.
Vogue Turkey Takes Karlie Kloss To The Beach In June 2013
June 3rd, 2013 by kpriss
When it comes to delivering body issues, Karlie Kloss just seem to do it better. Than Gisele, in this case. Something about Karlie makes me look at her and think she’s always ready to jump, snap or do a crazy twist. Something. Everything about Karlie is willowy and elastic to my eyes.
Both ladies are beautiful in their own right and I can only look up to them and wish I’d be just a tiny percent fit like they are! But then again, like I always remind myself: it’s their job to look this way (and ours to observe and react). Miguel Reveriego captured Karlie’s quirky spirit and youthful allure in a series of beach photographs hinting back at the 80s glamour and sophistication.
The Missing Nail: $12,000 For A Single Fake Nail Worn By Lady Gaga
June 3rd, 2013 by kpriss
Last I heard from Lady Gaga she was still recovering after her hip surgery and walked around in absurdly expensive, opulent chairs (try made of gold) and I think I spotted her at Kim Kardashian’s baby shower… But laying low has its advantages as one of Lady Gaga’s fake nails was just auctioned off for appx $12,000.
One. Nail. $12,000. Sure, the auctioneer also received a few pictures from the tour in which Lady Gaga wore the said acrylic nail and a ‘Born this Way’ tour shirt. The nail was allegedly recovered from stage by one of the crew members and then auctioned off on ArtFact.
To each job its benefits… Stage-diggers should be classified as such and receive praise for recovering artfacts from our living artists! They should invent fake skin so that everyone may get the chance (for the appropriate sum, biensur) to slip under Gaga’s or Beyonce’s skin or whoever else you admire…
Angelina Jolie Back To Black: YSL Dress For World War Z Premiere
June 3rd, 2013 by kpriss
Some time ago, when I started this wonderful Frizz-adventure, my celebrity news seem to go round and round what Angelina Jolie did and what she wore. But back then, the entire Red Carpet thing was just… different. Angelina herself is different.
But somehow still the same. Angelina Jolie loves a good black outfit. And for the world premiere of her partner, Brad Pitt’s new film, World War Z, Angelina’s black dress was both stunning and familiar. Sure, everyone was waiting to see some sign of distress, something that would give away the amazing struggle she confessed to only days ago. But no, all we saw was the usual bright, wide smiling, lean Angelina who looks great in an elegant evening dress, her usual hair color, her usual winged makeup, everything looked normal.

Geek Chic: Super Mario Super Shoes
June 3rd, 2013 by kpriss
Geek chic and the little wonders of this exquisitely creative and delightful style keep drawing my attention and I will certainly not miss any opportunity to praise it. The Grand Anna Wintour deemed geek with a chic attribute, so who are we to disagree?
Super Mario Shoes. Literally! Super Mario handpainted high heels will definitely bring that funny, funky attitude to even the dullest of outfits. An all black, all gray or any other all- you’d wear, complete it with these shoes and the (fashion) game will always be yours! And for $153, you’ll get way more praise than you would with a pair of Louboutin for which you could very well pay 10 times this much! I’m charmed, how about you? Can you resist the magic spell of the Super Mario Shoes? (more on etsydotcom, the magicbeanbuyer shop)
Cara Delevingne New YSL Ad Campaign Glamorizing Grunge Junkies
June 2nd, 2013 by kpriss
I realize I already talked about this on two previous occasions and although I sincerely wish there wasn’t the case anymore, I have to talk about the same old triggers Hedi Slimane keeps on glamorizing in his work.
The Saint Laurent Paris Fall 2013 ad campaign was released and Cara Delevingne perfectly illustrates the spirit and the idea of the collection presented by Hedi on the catwalk that caused so much controversy a few months back. Grunge is back, yes, only with a significantly higher price tag. Couture democracy, sure, but at what cost? This is for the poor little rich kids who go through a rebellious stage in their neverending teenage life and want to spend all their monthly allowance on a dress and a pair of boots.
Helena Bonham Carter Covers Vogue! Because She’s In Her 40s!
May 31st, 2013 by kpriss
(must be the worse pretext ever!) I was genuinely in awe when I discovered the July 2013 Vogue UK cover: Helena Bonham Carter is one of my favorite actresses for a long time and a clearly unique and outstanding personality, fashion and otherwise. I couldn’t be happier to discover her on a Vogue cover!
And since it’s such a unique moment in (style) time, I will do my best to procure this issue. Would make my first British Vogue to add to that ever growing stash I hold so dear to my heart and so precious to my eyes. I don’t even mind that the Mert and Marcus cover photo makes this Vogue UK look so much like your usual Vogue US, completed with (not so complimentary) Photoshop generous smoothing (which totally made lovely Helena look like Rachel Weisz) and Ralph Lauren outfit.
But why is Helena Bonham Carter on the cover of Vogue after all? Could it be because her movie alongside Johnny Depp isn’t doing so well, critics-wise? Or maybe because she has an Elizabeth Taylor movie scheduled for release soon? Either way, I’m really enjoying her stylish shoot.
Run On: Moby Vs. Johnny Cash
May 31st, 2013 by kpriss
For a couple of weeks now, I’ve been Moby-lized. Although I used to listen to a lot of Moby in the late 90s, I stopped doing so in the 21st century. Something alienated me from Moby and his wavy tunes. Well, something happened and I’m back on Moby. I know, it sounds like I’m on some kind of treatment (wink).
But you know me, and you know I don’t do Friday Breaks unless I really feel it. And this week, my dahlings, I Run On all the way back to 1999 when Moby released this pretty track. And don’t you just love his philosophical videos? They always had a higher purpose, a deeper meaning beyond the visual support offered to the preexisting tune. Did you use to listen to Moby back then? How about now? (hit the jump for Moby’s version of Run On and Johnny Cash’s God’s Gonna Cut You Down)
