Initially I found it confusing and insulting, why? Maybe I just like being insulted. The thought of someone not giving the time to fully commit to a style and simply saying it’s soft something, (soft grunge, soft goth, soft punk, soft blueman group. etc) I saw it as lazy. But I stand corrected. I’ve now learned to love…

Lauren Satlowski’s Creepy Fabulous Oil Paintings.
Lauren Satlowski’s oil paintings exist in the uncomfortable space between attraction and unease, where cuteness begins to fracture and something stranger takes over. At first glance, her characters feel familiar. Doll-like faces. Soft surfaces. Glossy eyes that catch the light just enough to feel alive. Then the details settle in, and the discomfort follows.

Alexander McQueen | Men’s Spring/Summer 2015 | Runway Show
Oversized, long, wide and elongated. This theme carried from the shoes to the jackets and suits. With a color pallet of black, white, red and grey the clothing had utilitarian and structured movement even though most were oversize. The young male models trotted out with a similar emo hair pulled forward partially covering their faces. Although there were a few amazing long coats, this collection had an objectionable amount of low impact flair. Like a western magician/white urban gangster feel. Does that even make sense? sheez. Imagine Justin Beiber going to his favorite goofy aunts party. Just watch the runway below and maybe you’ll be able to pull the same references

New music video for the track Shades Of Cool off Lana Del Reys new album. A song and video embracing vintage wailing of adoration of a man. who happens to be older. It’s not mentioned in the song he’s older, but we’ve come to know Lana for drooling over older men “I gots taste for men who are older” This video’s visuals are heavily based on Lana’s “Lolita” beauty aspect. Which is fine because she is completely gorgeous.

Elie Saab Resort 2015
Highly formal chic, it’s like looking at pictures to a party you will never be invited too. But just might crash. The color palate is muted but it’s uniqueness is made up by the pant suits and detailed yet still soft texture.

New music video released by the Arctic Moneys featuring a dripping wet woman stepping out of the pool and into her bra. She begins frustratingly watching videos of the band playing and all of them including her goofing off. She seems pretty tortured watching the video.

The Power Puff Girls Return in 2016, WHAT!?
WHAT! This generation of cartoons aren’t use to revivals and reboots. That’s why it’s great news that Cartoon Network has officially announced The Power Puff Girls return. It’s not as soon as we would like but hey, shush it’s better than nothing right? Do you think the series will be the same? Or will they make severe changes that could either go great or horrible. Now if they could only do this for Dexter s Lab and Courage the Cowardly Dog as well. I would die, somehow self combust with joy. What cartoons do you believe need to comeback?

Did someone throw paint on your bag?! No, Painted Accesories.
Remember Kim Kardashians painted Birkin? I do. It seems rediculs at first but the more you think about it it’s just another way of mixing art and fashion. We’ve always seen an abundance of clothing being painted, and in a ever evolving industry we are looking for new ways to say the same thing. Below are bags from Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2014 Details, LFW. who incorporate this painted accessory trend. Do you find this trend ridiculous or uniquely stylish?

Bobby Abley SS15 London Collections Men
Bobby Abley has never been interested in subtlety, and his Spring Summer 2015 presentation at London Collections Men made that position unmistakably clear. Where many designers use references sparingly, Abley builds entire worlds out of them. For SS15, that world was unapologetically cartoon-driven, playful, and emotionally tied to nostalgia.
