i came across peter jensen's photoshoot for his fall 2011 campaign during my search of favourite items from the catwalk. inspired by 60s danish model anna karina, jensen has created a picture of a vibrant, modern day love story and simply put, it is stunning!
so this post comes a wee bit too late by fashion standards but for those who rather follow trends during their current season, then this post comes early! Fall/Winter 2011 runway shows featured a few little items that I already have saved on my wish list...and even though I would love to have them right now, these are fall collections, which gives me time to save for a little while..umm, okay a long while (frown
anyone that knows me, knows i am a complete anglomaniac...a term coined to describe a person whom is obsessed with british culture. from fashion, to movies, and of course music, i am a brit lover at heart and i am thrilled to have learned that oasis is back (well sorta, minus noel gallagher, but who needs all that brother rivalry stuff anyways).
the only thing i wasn't thrilled about was how long it took me to discover their new album different gear, still speeding under the new band name beady eye. their album has now been released in north america, and indeed those boys are still speeding. check out their single the roller below! a mix of brit pop/rock with 60s swing....this album as the brits would say, is brilliant ;)
i noticed the other day i had a few photos kicking around on my phone that i really loved, but never posted, printed, or did anything with them really. the shots were taken throughout montreal at the end of the summer.
i am always amazed by the power of art and fashion and how artists continually push the envelope to create something fresh and exciting. a new trend in fashion and photography called body morphing, creates the sculptural elements of shoulder pads and collars using a persons own body. in the spring of 2010, photographer Marco Roso with the help of p2p Studios for the DIS Magazine created a photo shoot called Shoulder Dysmorphia . fashionistas and fashionistos alike will appreciate the replication of the different silhouettes to the likes of Alexander McQueen, Balmain, and Lanvin.
as odd as it may seem, this look is so amazing.....okay different on skin, but imagine it in fabric!
the trend continues, as Lady Gaga demonstrated her take on body dysmorphia. during the 2011 grammy awards. Gaga was rocking pointed prosthetic shoulders and alien like mouldings on her temples and cheekbones! she even carried out the look below on the cover of her single born this way.
a place for inspiration, ideas, photos, fashion, design, music, architecture, and anything i see fit! feminine, soft, free spirited, dark, edgy, rebellious - like a wrapped up black bow.
