THE VOGUE 120 PORTFOLIO



It's been a 120 years of Vogue, wandering through people, places, trends, and more importantly, clothes; so is there a better way to celebrate it than emerging a tribute for those (under 45ers) who are representing nowadays fashion, music and social movements at its best? Norman Jean Roy was the chosen one to portray    über-known designers, actors and singers such as Florence Welch, Phoebe Philo, Stella McCartney, Nicholas Ghesquiere, Lazaro Hernández, Azealia Banks among many, many others. You can see/download the original pictures here.

Nicholas Kirkwood x Keith Haring


Today I was wandering through the world wonder called internet and I found out that Nicholas Kirkwood made a Keith Haring-inspired collection last year. Yes, I found that out today, I'm always late for things. Keith Haring has always been one of my favorite artists, his art's simple, funny, bubbly and with little takes on childish, on the other hand, the message he gave to everyone about safe sex, american consumerism and free-loving was astonishing, brave and smart. 

Nicholas kept that cartoonish boldness, morphing it into amazing pairs of shoes with strong architectural structures, using patent leather and thousands of Swarovski crystals.

a london hurricane: Katie Eary























It's a secret for no one that I'm a sucker for prints, big prints, different prints, tropical prints, good loking prints, tie-dye + print prints, all-over-the-shirt prints, Givenchy prints, Jeremy Scott prints, even-on-your-pants prints.

I found out this amazing collection by Katie Eary, taking the animal print to a whole new level, a literal level, seriously. She mixes nature textures and icons such as cheetahs + hawks + goldfish's skin and even octopus' tentacles with baroque-like frames. The pictures from below are from her digital pop-up shop, some shirts were on her SS'12 collection and other from the SS'13 collection, both of them were amazing.

In case you don't know her, she's from London. And I really loved her bio introduction on her webpage. Judging by her amazing take on Menswear, she'll get there in a minute.

I really loved the school-girl-go-bad-mood Alexis Krauss was pulling out in this video.
