ZARA’s Spring Summer 2014 menswear campaign leaned into clarity rather than noise, presenting a vision of modern dressing shaped by sharp tailoring and historical reference. The influence of the 1960s was present throughout, but it arrived quietly, translated through silhouette rather than costume.

Fashion Shoot Based on Pablo Picasso’s Paintings
Eugenio Recuenco creates a Fashion Shoot Inspired by Pablo Picasso’s Paintings Fashion has long borrowed from art history, but the most compelling references rarely come from imitation alone. They emerge when an artist understands the source deeply enough to translate it rather than reproduce it. Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco approaches Pablo Picasso’s work with that level of intention, reimagining some of the twentieth century’s most recognizable paintings through the lens of fashion photography. Rather than treating Picasso’s work as untouchable iconography, Recuenco treats it as living material. His series does not aim for exact replicas. Instead, it captures the emotional logic behind the paintings. Proportion is distorted. Perspective bends. Color becomes…

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SPRING/SUMMER 2014
Steven Kleins new campaign film and photographs for Alexander McQueen, featuring Kate Moss“Inspiration comes from the many progressive art movements of the early Twentieth Century – a mix of primitive shapes, graphic forms and bold colour. There is a suggestion of the clean lines and the dropped waist of the 1920s in places. Kilts, leggings, biker jackets, boxy coats and tunic tops all feature with a nod to uniform and sportswear. Shoulders are relaxed. Inner structures are absent and garments are finished with laser cutting so that they are eased and light. Metal embellishment, jewellery, and aged multiple zip trim are reminiscent of found objects as are heavy bracelets in…

Woman with Muscular Dystrophy applies to be a fashion model, and gets hired.
The world of fashion and modeling is easily seen as the most self damaging, judgmental and malicious. For example the recent interview about the A&F image with the CEO of Aberbrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries himself stated: “It’s almost everything. That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that,” “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he told the site. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a…

STEPHEN JAMES FOR TAKESHY KUROSAWA FW13
Stephen James for Takeshy Kurosawa Fall Winter 2013 The Takeshy Kurosawa Fall Winter 2013 collection finds its strength in tension. Clean but not minimal. Dark but not theatrical. When modeled by Stephen James, the clothes take on an added psychological weight, transforming the collection from a presentation of garments into a study of presence. Kurosawa has long been interested in the space where tailoring meets rebellion, and this season reflects that balance with restraint. The silhouettes are sharp yet lived-in, structured without feeling rigid. There is an undercurrent of aggression softened by control, a quality that aligns naturally with Stephen James’s visual intensity. His heavily tattooed body contrasts with the…

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…
