Jo In Hyuk’s portrait illustrations exist in a carefully balanced space between refinement and ambiguity. At first glance, the work feels composed and elegant. Pastel tones wash across faces with a lightness that suggests ease and control. Yet beneath that polish sits a sense of mystery that prevents the images from feeling decorative or resolved.

Ghostboy
Solo music projects often arrive with a certain expectation. They are assumed to be side quests, quieter experiments that exist outside the urgency of bands or collectives. Austin Thomas’s solo work resists that framing. Rather than feeling supplementary, the project stands firmly on its own, shaped by clarity of vision and a strong sense of emotional control.

Beautifully Abandoned
There is a particular kind of beauty that emerges only through neglect. Not the romanticized decay of fantasy, but the quiet, unfiltered reality of time doing its work. Beautifully Abandoned captures this state with restraint, presenting old houses as they slowly wither, untouched by urgency or repair. These are not ruins staged for drama. They are structures allowed to age honestly.

VERSACE AUTUM/WINTER 2014| MILAN FASHION WEEK
With a late 70’s early 80’s rebel feel, the show begins with the famous silk baroque Versace print with a western cowboy twist. Deep jewel tones and dark neutrals filled the runway with endless amounts of various textures, with the most notable being a slick sheen, whether being in the full red leather cowboy outfit or the silk shirts and accessories. This very cheeky collection definitely had a huge nod to gay culture, including coded handkerchiefs, jeweled crotches, leather chaps and over embellishments. “It was an expression of freedom. I think it’s really important today with what’s going on in the world with civil rights and love.” – Donatella…

The Real Life Models by Flora Borsi
Flora Borsi’s The Real Life Models sits at an intersection where art history, digital manipulation, and psychological curiosity quietly overlap. The series does not aim to shock through excess or distortion. Instead, it unsettles by asking a deceptively simple question about how images are made, and what we accept as real once they are presented to us.

Kim Taehwan and Kim Dojin at Vivienne Westwood Fall 2014 Milan
Backstage moments often reveal more than the runway ever could. Away from the controlled pacing of a show, gestures feel unguarded and human, unfolding without performance in mind. At Vivienne Westwood’s Fall 2014 presentation in Milan, one such moment surfaced quietly between Kim Taehwan and Kim Dojin, a brief, almost imperceptible hug exchanged beside the clothing racks.
