Ride The Four Decks Of Apocalypse
May 23rd, 2008 by kpriss
At a point where many ask how much further until we’ve reached the prophecies maybe irony isn’t the best approach. Then again, perhaps it is…
The predicted raiders of Apocalypse are now impersonated by four bunnies and make a beautiful deck print. Made from Canadian maple with sublimation, the print is scratch resistant. Here they come : Famine, War, Pestelance and Death. I’m not in any board-kind-of-sport and neither are my kids (too young) but I was surprised by the designs, they’re truly catchy. How about it? Is this irony gone too far?

Scarlett Johansson For Nylon June-July 2008
May 23rd, 2008 by kpriss
With her new album comes a new image for Scarlett – the rock chic. Not doing her any particular favors, this experimental look is maybe a mere marketing strategy to pimp the sales of the album.
The photos are taken by Marvin Scott Jarett and they show a playful but distant blonde young looking Scarlett. I don’t like the purple pout and I believe the cover photo is not relevant nor to Scarlett herself, nor to her singer or actress image. I have no idea why they chose this particular image for the cover and not one of the others (I also posted the inside-magazine pictures).
Friday Break – Scenes From The Movie Flashdance
May 23rd, 2008 by kpriss
About now I think it’s clear enough I have a weakness for dancing and everything related. Today’s Friday Break is only confirming that.
It has to be one of the first dance sequences (movies) marking my memory because it engages such passion, such dedication and such energy. Flashdance, in the most faithful tradition of the 80es movies with and about dance. Enjoy a shot of adrenalin and a very funny replica just after!
Mischa Barton Handbags Line
May 22nd, 2008 by kpriss
Latest on the front of celeb-turned-designers is Mischa Barton. She’s not going for clothes. At least not for now.
She’s going for accessories. Handbags that is! Given she’s a flower power girl, I wonder how will those handbags look like…The collection will debut early July in London and features pieces from leather, fabric or snakeskin (I wonder how that copes with the free-flower-power spirit?) with a flower logo of her own (was that the only Mischa touch for this collection?).

Kate Moss Burberry Trench For Vogue
May 22nd, 2008 by kpriss
Word is that Burberry is ditching Agyness Deyn because she’s “too famous” or just because they’ve had enough of seeing her face allover (shouldn’t have put Burberry billboards allover, then..).
Now another rumor circulates, saying that these pictures of Kate Moss wearing a Burberry trench could be for a Burberry Ad and that she was signed as a replacer for the so annoying Agyness. If we’re to trust other rumors, the shooting was for a Brigitte Bardot pictorial for US Vogue August Issue (the photos were taken by Mario Testino and supervised by Grace Coddington from US Vogue). What would it be?

Sartorialist Does London
May 22nd, 2008 by kpriss
In case you were hoping for it to happen, your wishes were granted and Santa.. ahem.. Sarto is going to London.
And aside from the style lesson and photography theory, we’re also advised to reconsider our elementary geography. Given that Mr Schuman’s understanding positioned New York on another hemisphere than London. That reminds me of the last episode of “Lost” where John was asked to “move the island”. Let’s hope it’s not the case for Sarto and his London style initiatives…

My Dior – $5,000 Christian Dior Phone Out Next Week
May 21st, 2008 by kpriss
I thought it was a bad joke, but then again after taking a second to think that Prada and Dolce & Gabbana phones were no joke either (not to mention the mysterious project Chanel Choco Phone), I reconsidered! Christian Dior Swarovski embedded phone will be out as soon as this year. Next month. In a week from now!
It may be on too short notice, but I’m sure you can find the $5,000 and make a run for the nearest Dior store to get this couture and technique offspring.
Asking my practical self why should I pay this amount to have a phone, I couldn’t get too many answers because there are no specifications made public besides the fact that the new My Dior Phone is as big as a USB key, with a touchscreen display and camera.
Remember girls, it’s all about numbers : “In the same way that we have developed our watch and jewelry lines, we want to increase sales with the phone”.
So how about buying such a luxury splash?

Chloë Sevigny Opening Ceremony For Men
May 21st, 2008 by kpriss
How about that? Not only the atrocity has no stopping, but also it plans to expand its evil wings and take over menswear.
I always have the feeling this girl is playing and that the world is her playground. Jumping on my nerves with her pretended style and invented coutourier talents she’s announcing a new Opening Ceremony Collection. For men!
“Not only did I want to do something for the guys in my life, but a lot of my girlfriends prefer to wear men’s stuff,”. I see now why your dressing seems ever wrong to me!
Do you wear clothes designed for men?
