Some awesome stuff from 3.1 Phillip Lim, Opening Ceremony, Burberry Prorsum, and others. Now I just need to win the lottery and I could afford all this stuff..
פעמים רבות עברתי ליד קיר הגרפיטי הצבעוני שבתמונה ובכל פעם גרם לי הקיר לחיוך קטן, כל כך פרחוני וחי ויחד עם זאת ממוקם על קיר מתקלף בסמיכות לבניין נטוש מלא בעזובה ורפש. חשבתי על טקאשי מוראקאמי, האמן שעבודותיו גם הן צבעוניות ושמחות, אך מתחת לפני השטח הסופר-שטוחים שלהם (כפי שהוא מכנה אותם) רוחשת פעילות בעלת אופי אפל יותר.
ציור של טקאשי
לקיר הצבעוני התאמתי חצאית צבעונית, שגאוניותה נובעת מהשילוב הבלתי אפשרי הזה של כתום עז וסגול עמוק, דיסוננס אמיתי בחתיכה אחת. לסלט השמח הזה הוספתי חולצת פסים, שרשרת מימיה העליזים של אמא וליפסטיק ורוד-כתום.
This video is pretty darn cool! It came out a few months ago, but I just saw it for the first time today. Apparently this group is going to try to make a U.S. debut...
Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is because 1. It has some funny moments (Darth Vader in the house!) 2. The song's catchy, if you like pop 3. Their makeup is pretty cool, and 4. They're wearing some dope outfits, including some stuff we'd all recognize!
Check it out, and I hope you enjoy!
P.S. I'm thinking of doing a regular feature, like "Music Monday" or something, where I post a song I've been listening to a lot lately or whatever, and maybe include an outfit inspired by the song music, lyrics or artist. I'd also take requests. What do you think?
This week I have had the great honor and pleasure of assisting Dubai's premier Makeup Artists Dennie Pasion and Kat Sumners in a Bareface production for Emirates Airlines aboard the legendary A-380 airplane, and returned home yesterday evening only to find the finalised images in my inbox from a previous Test shoot with the incredible photographer Martin Beck. What a great day!
When Martin and I first met in preparation for this shoot it was clear that we both wanted to shoot Beauty ... but ... a somehow different kind of Beauty. We both wanted something edgy & fun ... but moreover certainly different.
Our model was french Femme Fatale Alexandra P from Bareface who I just love to work with. Over and over Alex's breathtaking beauty just blows me away.
I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome! Thank you Martin for these ever so beautiful images!! Thank you Alex for your great expressions and poses ... and being this "perfect little human being".
Risking to rob the male population of the illusion that girls like our gorgeous model Alex hang out near insect laboratories, here some Behind The Scenes images infusing reality.
