    Chanel Haute Couture SS 2014

    When you think of classic and high fashion, Chanel always comes to mind. This season displayed once again their staple tweed fabrics with very beautifully structured feminine outfits in light varieties of pastels. There was a strong athletic feel to the whole collection due to glammed up silver knee pads and fanny packs. I would describe the whole thing as rich sports pixie?But the one thing that demanded most attention would have to be the footwear the models were rocking. They weren’t the usual high fashion impossible heels to walk in, they were actually the complete opposite. Sneakers! The sporty/glitzy shoe wear was provided by couture shoemaker Massaro  they were…

    Making Your Presence Felt in Fashion Photography

    Author: fashion model It is a difficult task to establish one’s presence in the fashion photography industry. One can take it as a career option, if one has the willingness to work hard, has a creative mind, and possesses the ability to capture the perfect images. A fashion photographer should have proficiency in two disciplines- you need to be an excellent portrait photographer. Second, you should have the ability to create images for use in advertisements. A successful fashion photographer will be able to combine the two disciplines into a perfect blend with a keen eye to details in design. Success as an esteemed fashion photographer comes to one who…

    Morbid or Awesome, 3D Babies …

    Morbid or awesome, I can’t decide. A new interesting product has hit the ever bloated pregnancy market, an actual 3-d tangible print of yours, or whomsoever’s unborn baby. Yes, this is true. The company 3DBabies provides the service for around 600 dollars for a mini pre birthed being. Do you set it on the nightstand? Do you think this could replace the nostalgia ultra sound ? Is This how people way back in the day felt when ultrasounds came out? A weird sense of taboo surrounding something like a little baby life. Imagine giving this as a gift to someone. A fetus in a box … But I’m not going…

    Back Track: Yuck – Get Away (Live @ Insound Studio Sessions)

    “As you may notice we’ve got a new location for the Insound Studio Session. Our new home at Kutch1 studios has begun with a bang as we filmed Yuck tearing through three cuts from their self-titled album there earlier this month. The band absolutely killed it (as we knew they would) and turned in one of our favorite sessions yet. Thanks also to our new film crew Haus + Loghitano, who made this one look stunning.”

    COMME DES GARÇONS HOMME PLUS AW14

    A very dark feel to this show, the haunting music followed by the distinctively slow pace of the models set the stage for a dramatic display.  It seems the models were each wearing glossy gas masks hiding their identity, but upon further inspection you notice it is black hair pulled over their faces twisted down to a swirling black rope. Things that stood out most would be the strategically placed holes on the black formal wear that flowed through the whole show.  The fits where loose and flowing as they glided across the room. source:

    ‘REJOICE! OUR TIMES ARE INTOLERABLE’. JENNY HOLZER AND HER ’15 INFLAMMATORY ESSAYS’ 1979-82

    “In her early years as an artist, Jenny Holzer began working with text as a tool to manipulate the language of pop culture while producing political commentary. Her work usually consisted of aggressive statements meant to propel the passive viewer into an act of questioning. Her “Inflammatory Essays”, a series of 15 (more?) posters the artist produced between 1979 and 1982, were pasted on walls throughout heavily populated areas of New York City. The anonymous statements were influenced by major political figures such as Emma Goldman, Mao Tse-Tung, and Vladimir Lenin and, although they show eye-catching colors, they shared quite provocative thoughts. In a statement provided by the Holzer studio, the Inflammatory Essays are described as “a…

    “I tried to paint on canvas : fists were paintbrushes & blood was oil.”

    Beautiful performance art that will intrigue you and make you wince. “I tried to paint on canvas : fists were paintbrushes & blood was oil.” “This piece is actually my first performance. My aim was to use my body as it really is : a material. So I fused a canva and a piece of waterproof fabric wherein I cut up a circle. In that way, all I had to do was to hit the canvas with my fists, as hard as possible to paint the circle with my blood. I choose the geometrical form of the circle because in this work, I wanted to show what Man is able to…
