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.

Photographer Jason Kim captured models Jenna Earle and Alena Blohm in BlackBook’s October-Novmeber issue as ‘Colorful Club Kids’.

Leave it up to BlackBook Magazine and Jason Kim to make this eastern fashion inspired editorial so appealing.

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.
