GILLES LARRAIN’S NO. 5 BOTTLES

Vietnam-born photographer Gilles Larrain collected a series of bottles of Chanel No. 5.  Taken with the Cartesian architectonic structure of the bottle, he began his photographic exploration of the iconic bottle in Polaroid, which he later deconstructed with a variety of methods.  The results, seen here, are quite stunning and present a fresh perspective on the potion that always seems to keep us, major celebrity or not, talking.

MODEBELOFTE 2012: 

ENTERING THE FUNNEL

Not to be missed at each year during Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven is Modebelofte, (translation: A promise is made), featuring the best young talent in fashion, both Dutch and International. Handpicked by fashion consultant Carlo Wijnands, this year the exhibition, Entering The Funnel, has been art directed by Niek Pulles and Martin Schuurmans. Organizers seek to transport the viewers to the future world where a new race of fashionable warriors has been born.

The idea for “Enter the Funnel” was created during this summer, connecting seamlessly to the general theme of Dutch Design Week “Enter a Brave new World”. Although Dutch Design Week has come and gone, Modebelofte is on view at Krabbedans Eindhoven through December 2nd.

YVONNE KWOK: fashion marionette 

Dutch fashion designer Yvonne Kwok received recognition on the fashion scene when she became one of the finalists at the London Graduate Fashion Week in the Best International Collection category. Inspired by tpunk culture and marionettes, I really like her bright colors, mix of fabrics and deconstructed silhouettes. Keep an eye out for her in the future…

“My concept is about the battle with the mental disorder caused by the restrictions within the fashion system where pressure plays a major role. With reference to the marionette “a person who is in the service of someone else”, I want to make a mockery of this subject.”

Heidi Loves Halloween

Heidi Klum's Halloween costumes and parties are the stuff of fashion legend, so it's fitting that this year the supermodel will dress up as the legendary Cleopatra.

Klum worked with Martin Izquierdo, who has created wings for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, to design the bold gold dress, cape, and headpiece she'll wear at her 13th annual Halloween party. In the past, Klum has cooked up costumes ranging from a purple-and-red robot to the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden.

This will be the first time Klum has celebrated Halloween, which she says is her favorite time of year, without her husband Seal since their marriage ended. Her party will take place at the new New York dance club Finale on Oct. 31. A guest list hasn't yet been announced, but in the past Michael Kors, Ellen von Unwerth, Doutzen Kroes, and Tyson Beckford have attended the bash.

Pattern Perfection from Steven Meisel in Vogue Italia December 2007

I came across these photographs shot by Steven Meisel for the December 2007 of Vogue Italia and was intrigued not only by their mesmerizing appeal, but how relevant they seem today. I’ve seen several reinterpretations of this look in editorial features over the past few months.

История игрушки

«Одни только дети знают, чего ищут. Они отдают все свои дни тряпичной кукле, и она становится им очень-очень дорога, и если у них ее отнимут, дети плачут…»

Антуан де Сент-Экзюпери «Маленький принц»

Мы все временами скучаем по сказочному миру нашего детства, наполненному прекрасными и неповторимыми моментами счастья, тепла, нежности и ласки. Но мы можем в него вернуться даже будучи уже взрослыми, главное, найти верного проводника, с ролью которого отлично справится авторская игрушка.
