Kanye West, The Gap Intern
July 5th, 2009 by kpriss
Kanye West’s ego just got a huge downfashgrade! While talking high and low about his Louis Vuitton Don Self and how he made it big in the ranks of Louis Vuitton designers, he’s quietly interning at Gap’s NY office!
Should we expect some Kanye West Gap sandals? Reportedly “working all the time” and discreetly trying to learn what makes fashion tick and tack, Kanye’s fash-self is taking the Gap step by step. And here we thought he’d blend in the LV team! No wonder he’s doing the Gap silently! (GraziaDaily, photos via 1, 2, photochopping courtesy Stylefrizz)
Chris Isaak Wicked Game
July 3rd, 2009 by kpriss
Helena Christensen in Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game video is one of those moments in music/modelling history that you just can’t ignore. It’s like Freedom 90! The world was simply never the same again.
Thanking you for this most amazing week together, for your great comments! I wish you have a wonderful, safe and peaceful weekend and for those of you taking the long weekend: Happy 4th of July already! Enjoy Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game! (more details about the song/video right after the jump!)
Dare To Wear Elizabeth And James Convertible Trench Coat?
July 2nd, 2009 by kpriss
I know I would! But so would you, just scroll down and see!
I manifested a sea of reticence when repeatedly dealing with Elizabeth and James. A parallel made me think of Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen’s fashion brand like it would be a (hypothetical future) Hannah Montana clothing collection. How was I to take it seriously? But this Convertible Trench Coat made me have a sudden change of heart! (the story continues right after the jump with more images!)

Monster Children Wants Kate Moss With Clothes On!
July 2nd, 2009 by kpriss
Though it may sound like complete madness, it’s true! Someone, somewhere (and not over the rainbow but right here, on our very dear Earth), present time, stopped a magazine from being published because Kate Moss was on the cover. Topless! Monsters Children (out Friday) will have to change the original cover picture.
The pictures they prevented from spreading was taken by Hedi Slimane and it previously made the ups and downs of the esteemed fashblogosphere (and newsstands, biensur) with Libération. (the story continues right after the jump!)

Bloggers With Holt Renfrew Windows
July 2nd, 2009 by kpriss
This is not an IT related article, no Microsoft property was harmed in any way while/after writing it! It turns out our very esteemed Fashbloggers get their own department store windows!
Bryanboy, Jak & Jil, The Sartorialist (and his lady, Garance Dore), Sea of Shoes inspired Holt Renfrew (a Canadian department store chain) creative director (John Gerhardt) to style blogger-inspired windows. The styling was supposed to include mannequins outfitted as the respective fashbloggers as well as images from their fashblogs. (the story continues with more pictures right after the jump!)
Russh Australia Issue 29 July August 2009
July 2nd, 2009 by kpriss
Photography, like every other artsy thing out there falls pray to the trends machine. If not long ago there was something about movement that imposed fuzzy pictures for trends following photographers, now it seems granulated black and white set the pictures tone.
(I don’t know the exact specific name for this effect, but those of you knowing your way around photography could give me a helping hand and explain how this is done.) From an amateur perspective, these Russh Australia pictures from the July/August 2009 issue #29 remind me of M. Night Shyamalan’s Village so I’d say it’s safe to assume that goth has taken over every artsy manifestation. (the story continues right after the jump with more pictures!)
Agyness Deyn Bloom Gray Nail Polish
July 1st, 2009 by kpriss
If Agyness Deyn was off our fash-radars doesn’t mean she’s no longer an icon for the industry! She just got a nail polish in her name chez Bloom, an Australian brand.
Gray and matte, the new Bloom limited edition Agyness “Industrial grey” makes me think that yellow nails are no longer an option but a must! And Beth Ditto’s nail polish is blessing in one’s beauty case! Why would anyone wear concrete gray-Agyness on their nails? (or “shimmery grey”, the Bloom Alexa limited edition nail polish inspired by Alexa Chung) (via, photos via 1, 2, photochopping courtesy Stylefrizz)

Lara Stone’s DSquared 2 Fall Winter 2009 2010 Ad Campaign
July 1st, 2009 by kpriss
DSquared2 is surely not one of the quiet brands that’ll take you up in a subtle modesty of shapes and styles. Thus, taking Lara Stone as spokesface is a somewhat logical and suited.
The Fall Winter 2009/2010 Ad Campaign from DSquared2 is proof de plus that luxury, decadence and nothingness still sell. Or they’re supposed to! (the story continues with more pictures right after the jump!)
