    Men in Furs

    We usually associate fur coats with glamorous women and if not that, some sleazy pimp from an itchy polyester 70’s. But recently we’ve been seeing a lot more men in fur who aren’t pimp cupped rappers. Not only does it give you sense of luxury but hey, it also keeps you pretty warm. If you wear fur in a thoughtful and tasteful manner, you can actually be taken seriously. I don’t think people want to feel like they’re going to a cheap costume party just because it’s cold outside.  There are many different stiles, and also good deals for vintage online. Man or women.

    Trend Watch: No Pattern Mixing

    You’ve been seeing a lot of mixed patterns and textiles being worn by everyone. Throw on a striped cardigan with a tartan sweater, BAM! It’s a simple trend to do without sometimes putting that much effort into. (yes I’m guilty) So as we all know when things start to get more popular you tend to start looking for the newest and next best way to stand out, or have a stamp of style originality.

    Prada Inspired by Serial Killers

    We’re all inspired by many things, but in artistic culture you notice their is a special sweet spot for criminals and murderers. You will always find songs and artists like Morrissey basically glamorizing and almost longing for these criminals. In this case it’s influence has trickled to fashion. The makeup and hair for Prada’s S/S 2013 isn’t inspired by strong fashion icons or trends, but a serial killer Aileen Wournos. “The inspiration for the hair and makeup at Prada S/S 2013 has a very interesting inspiration, none other than infamous serial killer, Aileen Wuornos. “Her story especially her hair and natural raw disheveled look has been very inspirational to me…

    Lana Del Rey – So Legit

    “Stefani [Lady GaGa’s real name], you suck, I know you’re selling twenty million Wish they could have seen you when we booed you off in Williamsburg,” Lana Del Rey sings in So Legit, a song she wrote about Lady GaGa. “You’re looking like a man, you’re talking like a baby,” the singer also hurls in the damning song.
