Leigh Bowery



The ever wonderful Leigh Bowery in a posthumous cover of Acne Paper. A beautiful naked image of the man renowned for his extreme outfits, living his influential performance art to the fullest, at every opportunity. Leigh was a constant performance, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It's nice to see mounsieur Bowery, vunerable side.

Watch Leigh's legendary Wigstock Performance below.

SS 11 Campaigns


Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci continues to creatively challenge our perceptions of beauty, last season by giving us Lea T, starring in the A/W campaign.
This year the cult label goes a step further and takes cues from it's all white, ultra decadent couture collection. The spring campaign, also  all in white  stars Daphne Gronevald,  and albino model Stephen Thomson.

Pre Fall Season











It is a lovely surprise to find monsiuer Lagerfeld so inspired for pre-fall season yet again.
Following last pre-falls Shanghai full highly produced show, the Kaiser opted for a more "intimate" setting as he showcased his Byzantine empire inspired collection.

It's been a couple of season since I have been this exited over a Chanel collection.
I love the 60s feel (shapes and styling) together with the more luxe bejeweled pieces.

Natalie Portman + Mila Kunis

 I haven't been this exited about a film in a very very long time. The Black Swan starring the ever fabulous Natalie Portman and the incredibly underrated Mila Kunis. Directed by Darren Aronofsky’s , (who has directed one of my all time favorite movies, 'Requiem for a dream')the film is bound to strike a major  fashion crowd following with the Rodarte sisters involvement as Costume Designers.
Rumor has it that Natalie Portman is generating some serious Oscar buzz for her role as the Queen Swan, I personally can't wait to see her custom made Rodarte frocks for award season.

Check out the trailer below
