Anne Sofie Madsen, originally hailing from NZ I presume, is a graduate from Denmark design school and has been causing blogger uproar.

I googled her and found several bloggers had already snapped her up.

She does make good blogging I must say.
Very pleasant on the eyes and I feel like I am allowed to put her on Deadman as its culturally relevant... or something.

Anyhow regardless of her reasons and inspirations behind this collection it is absolutely gorgeous food for the eyeballs. I ripped the blurb she wrote about the collection from Denmark design school because it explains the Maori inspiration and folklore translating into the physically pleasing garments.

Tiki-Mania-Maori
In traditional Maori art the most dominant, mythical motif is the “avianised man” or “bird-woman”. The most important visual art forms are plaiting, relief carving and tattoo.
My idea in this collection was to combine (and confront) this with classic, European clothing - in order to express the contrasts and borders between what we see as primitive/civilianized, exotic/classic and barbaric/elegant.
My idea was not to create bird suits or folk costumes and I decided not to use feathers in the garments and to “translate” the traditional materials of the Maori. I used shoelaces instead of flax strips and exchanged tattooed skin with leather applied on invisible tulle.

The drawings that go with the clothing are amazing and more directly shows the Maori influence with the show of Moko.

Zara Mirkin, No Mag's main stylist must have been pretty exited about styling this shoot with Alice Delall.

Lets just say; Alice fits rather comfortably into Zara's styling 'Niche'. A great niche, don't get me wrong. I mean we have all been through our shave-a-little-undercut period (If you like that kind of thing, which I happen to) I guess maybe thats why this editorial works so well; Mirkin's fashion taste mixes (seamlessly) with Delall's.

This editorial hits all the G spots for me but yes.. something to ponder I guess. Good old No aye?? Nod to No.

Nod to NO and Nod to BLACK. Heh. Two words I like.

The feature ' Double trouble' comes in two covers for those who like options (as above) I think I like the first, her hair looks a bit doggy in the second. On third and fourth glance this is a beautifully styled and shot piece and I'm sure will stand the test of tyyyymmmee.

It probably helps the shoot some that Alice is the hottest woman alive.

Please say the baby, baby.
The Lil Wayne clip in the previous post fitted the context, but does nothing to show the prowess and magnitude of this Lil guys talent. Did you know he has been in and/or produced over 1000 songs in the last year and a bit? He da man. He's intelligent and witty and extremely prolific (try counting his albums and mixtapes).

The Carter is an interesting insight for someone like me, who I would rate as about an 8.5 on the fan scale, mine and Zian’s boyfriends safely scoring a 10. I knew a lot of his music and a lot of facts thanks to the BF but just seeing him working and talking is amazing.

I do listen to Hip hop pretty much exclusively but I would recommend this to anyone interested in music documentaries. Unless you are racist, or some indie fuck head with an aversion to Hip hop, if you are: better fuck off right now, you will LOVE it.

Anyway these are my fav Lil Wayne songs at the moment. (These are eclectic, the first two are off The Carter (extremely hard to get hold of at the mo and the rest are off various mixtapes and CD's) the quality is fairly bad but it gives you an idea.

Ps: looking for a solidly good L.W mixtape? my fav ever is his new-ish one No Ceilings. http://www.datpiff.com/

My flatmate dyed her hair a beautiful shade of purple last night.

You can get permanent versions but food colouring has been the best I have found, I have dyed my hair red, pink, orange and yellow (always in sombre pastel shades, no emo cat calls for moi).
Here is some inspiration to show you I’m not an emo. This legitimizes me, Pffft.
But these are cool shades of purple-urple.

Enjoy Lil Wayne’s take on the colour purple at the end. If yall not in the know you won’t get it. He is not talking about a bitch, he talking about da drank.

Watch The Carter or die.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!!

for Russian Vogue suppliment. I have only put in my favs go to www.fashiongonerogue.com fo mo.

Black mags.

2009-12-02T01:04:00.000-08:00

Yes 'Black mags' is a GREAT song by The Cool Kids.
But more to the fashion point, Black magazine.

I remember when this mag first started up, I was, personally, busy drinking and partying like the 18 year old I was. My Friend, the bass player from the band I was in got asked to participate in the first editorial of Black. The stills from the shoot were amazing, it starred young indie/hipster up and coming homos. (sorry Helen) , AND would have been an interesting piece, had it been published.

SO they pulled her shoot but she got a free copy of the first issue so, who's crying?

Anyway, the point I wanted to get at was that they have had some truly amazing editorials cranking lately.
We were skeptical at their selling point at the tender age of 18; they wanted to market themselves to an international market. we thought: ' you're havin a laugh mate'.

But with their array of stylists and photographers, not to mention the beautiful clothing in their issues. I truly think they have succeeded in their goal.

GO BLACK DARLING, GO BLACK.

2009-11-30T14:05:00.000-08:00

It still sounds weird saying 'our'.
It has actually changed since then but still looks cool, actually cooler.

Costume

2009-11-30T13:54:00.000-08:00

I think dabbling in costume jewellery is totally A-OK.
Diva and Bling and all thinggs nasty are yes, nasty. However the shapes and ideas these chain stores produce are affordable and beautiful. They chip, they tarnish, they change colour. But at that price you can fill every finger with loud and bright rings. Rings are very important to me and I feel naked without at least two.

An interesting point my friend brought up was the connotations 'costume' jewellery brings to mind, which is that of cheap and shitty qaulity, however often you can get stirling silver or plated jewllery for cheaper than a $400 Karen walker solid silver necklace.

I'm not saying don't have pieces that mean something to you, that you saved for, that you will have forever. I'm just saying dont be snobbish. My jewellery collection is vast and the reason I have so many great options is mostly due to either vintage pieces mixed with costume and a tiny few expensive pieces.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs in my previous post is a good example of this, they are plated so they wont tarnish as fast as something from Diva yet they are certainly not made out of precious metals.
The YSL gaudy rings are another example of this, they are made out of Tin and recycled metal. Good idea if you as me. Beauty affordable.

I have a weird feeling someone I know will pop up on this website shortly....

Fuck Colour.

2009-11-26T15:12:00.000-08:00

Here comes a fucking HUGE rant.

HI

This is a two pronged rant, the first espousing joy at the colour Black and the second decreeing colour pointless and a shoddy second to the king of tones: Black.

Just because fluros/bright florals/pastels are in fashion does NOT mean you should wear them.

Every single time I try to wear bright colour I end up feeling like an over-done, clashy Mc clasherson fatty.

This is not because I have abnormal skin or hair tone. If I do say so myself, one of my physical assets happens to be that I have a yellow based skin tone which means I can look OK in pretty much any colour.

But black is still better.

People with pink skin tones should have a quick look at a colour wheel. Perhaps if you look like a flushed pig all the time you should not wear oranges, yellows and pinks?? Just a thought.

Florals look so much better if they are muted or have a back ground of a tone or black. It makes them more wearable, matchable and likeable. Pair this with a black ish or tonal top and opaques with boots and you have yourself a winner.

Don’t get me wrong, I'm not preaching heavy gothic head to toe black (although that is my fav)

Peaches, creamy nudes, stark whites, soft pastels and metallic can look astoundingly beautiful when paired with the right bits and bobs. Its head to toe clashing and mismatched colour I have a problem with.

Here are some reasons behind this:

Black, pretty much without exception will always look better. It is more flattering, always 'in', can convey any emotion, trend or look; from sexy to Goth to glam. It does not clash with anything.

Now now, I know you will be think ' Uhh but what about the Dries Van Noten 2010 collection... Its so likee in Fashon roight nowww' or perhaps you are thinking about the decree Anna Wintour made about more colour in our fashion palette??

F dat.

Here is what i say to that

‘Are you a runway model?' or ' Can you pull off or afford Dries Van Noten?'

If the answer is yes then fuck off anyway, if it’s no then YAY and SCORE

You can’t wear colour.
It looks shit in real life.

Some of my best friends love colour and it looks good on them.
But they could look just that bit better if they wore more black.

I know a lot of people will disagree, but think about this: if you look back at a photo of yourself now in ten years in your pink blazer, your aqua patent heels and your crochet dress in a lighter hue or pink, Will you like what you see?

If you are wearing a black silk shirt dress from Miss Crabb however, I think you will.

Black is best.

Some ideas that were knockin' about

2009-10-25T03:58:00.000-07:00

Idle Idol or is should it be i Idolize the Idle.
Bit of both.
I want it to have a 'ethe' feel, ethe - standing, in my general colloquilisms for ethnic.
Anyhow, i want it to have a ethnic feel leaning towards the ethnic colonized by the Spanish, of catholic, perhaps Voodoo tendencies. Maybe really bring it back to the mother land and use some ethe-Afro weaving mixed with studs and torn leather type ethnography.

As you can tell:
I have a straight forward and totally lucid vision of the collection.

Really... i just fucked around with some Femo shit.
But one day i will cohesively pile my ideas into some beautiful pieces.

Now i wanna playtime. k? thnx.bai.

Excuse my face plz.

Welcome Penny.
Welcome.

The Penguin Book Club

2009-10-18T00:28:00.000-07:00

I'm starting a book club.
I have decided it will be called the 'Penguin Book Club', Original i know.
Because; it will be cheapest and easiest and nicest on the eye if we read the newly released penguin classics. We can read anything from : Capote, F.Scott Fitzgerald to Junky by Burroughs.
If you read the back of these editions it tells you the origins of the carefully crafted literary penguin paperback. Good work. I'm happy it was created, the simplicity of the covers reminds me of The Royal Tenenbaums and appeals to my 'aesthetic taste' as me and Penny say.

Yay for us.

Our first book ( which i have already finished so hurry up guys) is :

Steve - Daves mate? or was it microwave Jenny?

Fashion is not for the rich, by essence it should be for the masses. Why should it not be accessible to the people? Why should the rich and affluent be the only ones to get the 'looks'.

You know what? I'm rather nauseated by you.

You want to tell me you own nothing by Topshop? Possibly the worst rip off shop ever? Why is that ok? Because its condoned by the fashion elite?

If you have a legging which is made out of leather it is called: leather pants, denim? : jeans.
Leggings are by def cotton, by my def anyhow.
Leggings are ok in black.
If you are a stick bitch you may experiment but under no circumstances wear fake denim leggings.

In my humble opinion.

2009-08-31T20:05:00.000-07:00

Lets not. This editorial hits all the wrong spots. Not only do I not want to see skeletal models in my eyeballs all the time, but I don't want to know how they get this way. This shows a terrible image of the body to the public and glamorizes; alcoholism, mental illness and eating disorders. This is about as gross as the 'holocaust inspired' RUSH editorial at the end of last months issue.

How about we do NOT promote; smoking, drinking and drugging your life away equals cool? I'm not bloody christian, thats for DAMN sure but give me some light in my life, for heavens sake. No thank you. I don't want to revel in the shit of this world. If you cannot think of any more fashion inspiration than people suffering then give the fuck up.

~~'Meisel does rehab' -descibed as a timeless editorial. Ughh. Get lost mate. Vogue I'm pissed.~~

Yes, of course... some of the images are beautiful. Its Meisel for Vogue of course it is. But still....

WOW

http://www.fabianyfelipe.com/rings.html amazing. New fav.

I especially love the last one and the 'I am' one. They seem inspired by war medals I love the antiquing done on them. Also a great range of pendants. If only I could afford on my tiny wage. For American residents they are actually rather affordable!!

Current Crush.

Quoted from www.flickr.com This old school flash is my kind of style.

"Sailor Jerry was tagged with the name Norman Collins at birth, but he began to distance himself from normalcy when he was 19 (that's why he became a sailor). He traveled around the world, not only getting his first tattoos, but also gaining exposure to the art and imagery of Southeast Asia. This later became a crucial influence when he opened his first tattoo shop in Honolulu's Chinatown, ground zero for swaggering sailors, drunken soldiers and whoever else wasn't afraid to hang around volatile levels of testosterone.

The Honolulu Tattoo district was designed to accommodate a time in men's lives when they drank heavily, paid for women, and imprinted their biceps with pictures solid and resonant enough to last a lifetime. Back then, Chinatown was the only place on the island where a man could get a tattoo, creating fierce competition among the many tattoo parlors.
Roving sailors weren't looking at the nuances of shading and color, they were seeking pictures worth showing off to their buddies back home. Sailor Jerry built his business with bold designs that artfully expressed the mind set of his clientele. When you look at Sailor Jerry's "flash", it's immediately apparent why he spawned the kind of following that made it necessary to begin printing "The Original Sailor Jerry" on all his business cards. This is man stuff. Filled with the grit, romance and heartbreak that drives some men to do what most would not. There's a tension about port cities filled with men who consider themselves on a mission to have a good time and return with evidence of such. And it's drawn into all of Sailor Jerry's tattoos. Keep your eyes out for his work, not in galleries, but in bars and on the street. If you find yourself strangely captivated by the girl on an old man's arm, we suggest you go ahead and offer to buy the guy a drink of Sailor Jerry Navy Rum. Hopefully, he'll be so impressed with your taste in rum, he won't punch you out and maybe he'll tell you some stories.
Here is some of the tattoo flashes done by Sailor Jerry. To see more of Sailor Jerry’s stuff you can go to www.sailorjerry.com"

Heres hoping I don't have a baby like dis.

"Could you wear the same outfit everyday for a year? Well, Sheena Matheiken is doing the unthinkable for a worthy cause.

She will don the same dress (don’t fret germafreaks she has multiples like Superman) for a full year. The challenge is for the charming fashion imp to rework the same black tunic dress into a different chic ensemb each day with vintage and donated accessories.

Matheiken’s penchant towards uniforms stems from her upbringing in India where peers showed their unique style by pushing the limits of their required school uniforms." (http://www.dripbook.com/)

All for funding for Indian schooling. What a good bitch.
