<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I will watch anything that features the pouting beauty that is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley; I will also be drooling profusely . Miss Huntington-Whiteley stars in the advertisment for Burberry's new fragrance, "Burberry Body", shot by Mario Testino. I think "hot under the collar" is an understatement for my reaction to this video.

At times his women are warriors, and at others they are soft and fragile. However, no matter what the mood, Adamsen is able to wholly embrace the concept of the image. Albeit having different atmospheres and appeals, each set of images absorb this atmosphere through a perfect entwining of model, styling and photographer.<br />
Part of this process relies on Adamsen’s talented post-production skills, where each image is branded with the unique style of the set they belong to. Each image is personally tailored to fit the personality of the model, rather than the model moulding herself to fit the photographer’s concept. I love how everything, whether it be the setting, the pose, the expression, the colouring or the styling, forms together to create an emphatic sense of habitat in which the model seems to intrinsically belong.<br />
However, for me, the most inspiring factor of it all is how subtly it is executed. In my favourite images (above), faded colours are mixed with a pixelated noise to create a vintage feel, scratches and stains are mixed with the surroundings to create a grunge effect, and, in simpler photos, warm photo filters are applied to set the mood. However, what makes Adamsen truly one of my favourite photographers is his ability to not get lost in his concept; the post production does not distract from the fashion but rather enhances it, which is why Adamsen is certainly a photographer to watch out for.John Mulebahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13475658015095069789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870694383522991.post-23448186521935517132011-06-13T16:03:00.000+01:002011-06-13T16:03:28.965+01:00DAPHNE GUINESS : UNDRESSED<iframe frameborder="0" height="630" src="http://www.nowness.com/media/embedvideo?itemid=1489&issueid=1568" width="750"></iframe><br />

<br />
"Documentary filmmaker Brennan Stasiewicz infiltrates the cosseted world of <a href="http://www.nowness.com/day/2009/9/12/115/scent-and-sensibility" rel="external"><span style="color: #8c7c3d;">Daphne Guinness</span></a> in <span style="font-style: italic;">Daphne’s Window</span>. Featuring intimate footage of the icon at her Fifth Avenue apartment, the short follows the eccentric fashion patron and socialite as she prepares for her recent installation in the windows of Barneys New York. The storefront showcased her collection of pieces by designer Lee Alexander McQueen and a selection from the archive of fashion editor Isabella Blow, which Guinness purchased in its entirety last year. The display culminated in a performance art piece in which Guinness dressed for the Met ball in one of the flagship’s windows, modeling a lilac feathered gown designed by <a href="http://www.nowness.com/day/2011/5/3/1436/mcqueen--savage-beauty" rel="external"><span style="color: #8c7c3d;">McQueen</span></a>’s Sarah Burton. “She appears to me as someone always in a window,” says Stasiewicz. “Someone you can approach and see, but you remain on the other side.” This year brings a multitude of projects for the heiress: her sculptural armored glove collaboration with jeweler Shaun Leane (pictured in today’s film) will be exhibited by Jay Jopling in a private viewing in London later this month; and in September a retrospective at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology will pay homage to her style. “Daphne is someone to take pleasure in, and in many ways, someone who incites moments of wonder,” says Stasiewicz." <br />
<br />
Daphne Guinness is considered strange and eccentric for the tastes of some but, she is such an enigma of fashion and people usually fear and question what they do not understand. She's awesome, not doubt and people often overlook her and it pains me because she's such an inspiring figure with a different apporach to fashion as armour. This is a short film of her installation performance.

This is pretty cool, I'm not going to lie. Remindes me of when I was younger at school on the last day everyone drew messages on people's shirts. RA RA turned this into fashion, but £225 for a t-shirt I could make myself?

<span style="font-size: large;">So, this is me having a blast. I haven't posted in a while due to several prevailing circumstances; some fortunate and some unfortunate. Yours truly managed to snag a job as a fashion writer for <a href="http://meetthedesigner.co.uk/" style="color: red;">meetthedesigner.co.uk</a><span style="color: red;"> </span>and you can check out my first article on there. The job has ridiculous perks. Last week I was invited to a champagne tea party with Jade Parfitt...yeah, Jade fucking Parfitt! How awesome is that? Anyway I'll post fashion stuff soon but these are a few events coming up this week that I'll be at and i implore you all to attend them because they are really quite interesting, I'll be there and hopefully there will be free booze. </span> <br />

Advan Matthew chooses a colour palette of golds, browns, blacks and smouldering bronze, colours all reminiscent of Ancient Egyptian opulent and decadent wealth. I love the sort of haze that appears in the last photo, evokes a feeling of being in a desert, that searing heat, riding camel back in search of an oasis, via numerous mirages. Kelly Tan is simply scorching with a beautiful face that would rival Nefertiti's .</span></em></td></tr>

His clever paintings and guerrilla attitude to art and his style. This is the man who did his paintings in $1,000 Giorgio Armani suits, and yet still, he turned up at exhibitions in the same paint splattered formal wear.<br />
I love how he merges classic formal attire with streetwear looks. There is a distinctive playful approach to his dressing, he wasn't known to take himself too seriously. Shirts with bow ties were married with plaid trousers and fleeces. Paint splattered jeans were accompanied by a check jacket and skinny tie. Flamboyant, oversized colourful shirts, at the pivot of 80's African American men's street style were prominent . He wore his finely cut suits as a sort of satire towards Wall Street yuppies of the 80s, but with an accent of Michel-Basquiat eccentricity. Overall, his sartorial style was an extension of his personality and art. Just as his paintings were charged full of statement, expression and exuberance; his attire was just the same, a juxtaposition of urban against the powerful and wealthy middle society.John Mulebahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13475658015095069789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870694383522991.post-84500453670117573862011-04-24T17:09:00.000+01:002011-04-24T17:09:42.196+01:00"THE COLOUR ISSUE" FASHION156.COM<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zx6-kLkzZzc/TaUSF5Qpy7I/AAAAAAAAB-I/z4faQjASYcM/s1600/FASHION156-ALEXANDER-MCQUEEN-FASHION.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zx6-kLkzZzc/TaUSF5Qpy7I/AAAAAAAAB-I/z4faQjASYcM/s640/FASHION156-ALEXANDER-MCQUEEN-FASHION.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

COLOUR!<br />
Hmmm what i've deduced from Hasan Hejazi's lookbook is there seems to be an 80s and 90s sportswear feel coursing through some his designs. Take for instance, dramatic maxi skirts, tight demi polo necks and pleated tennis skirts. But, I do love the sense of a supressed sexual vixen with the over use of the leather, further accentuated by the over-the-elbow gloves; pvc? secret dominatrix? whips and chains in the bottom drawer? I envision a Hasan Hejazi woman as one who conducts herself with proper decorum during the day, but come night, you're chained to the bed posts, ball gag in mouth and she's telling you to call her mistress.<br />

<b>Painted Eyes</b><br />
I do enjoy a good fashion short, and TEST Magazine seem to provide all my favourites. This latest offering, "Painted Eyes" is no different and with fashion's current penchant for face paint - a la Agi and Sam, Louise Gray, Walter Van Beirendonck AW 11/12 and Fashion156.com 's own Colour Issue.<br />
The colour palette is of complimentary, pale pastels and I love how they work in conjuction to create an almost hypnotic aura in the film, reminiscent of long, lazy summer days. <br />
Styled in Michael Van Der Ham SS 11 as a perfect chaser to expresses the contrasting and disturbed aura in the film.<br />

He carefully uses complimenting bright colours with more muted pale pastel tones, adding more vitality to the images.<br />

<tr style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ahh Mert and Marcus, sigh. Anyone who actually reads my profane and banal blog will know that</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mert & Marcus are by far my favourite fashion photographers because they</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">aren't afraid to push the envelope and say "how much nudity is too much nudity?", but they</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">do it tastefully, it isn't just tits and ass.But these images are so great in expressing a connection established between subject and photographer, model and lens. The photos are stripped of any embellishments or distractions and an intimate relationship is forged</span>.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These are from an editorial in LOVE magazine from about a year ago called, "Body Conscience", obvious pun. They photographed 12 of the world's most famous and desirable supermodels. Ofcourse sex sells, there is no need to be naive about it and fashion is a realm where the nude human form is often explored and celebrated, rather than branded a taboo. Master of seduction, Tom Ford encapsulated this well when he said,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"</span><i>"With a more natural relationship to nudity, we might also be freed up to find each other a lot more fascinating. There's an equality to being naked; the fewer clothes and accessories a person wears the less you judge them, and the more you notice their truest traits, like their eyes or their charisma, their great hands or their one-of-a-kind hair or, most importantly, their personality and character. <span style="font-size: large;">". </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I </span></i><span style="font-size: large;">think it's a stunning collection of photographs and any artsy fartsy person will notice the Helmut Newton influences coursing through the editorial, maybe a splash of Guy Bourdin? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Explicit ? Yes. Smut? Pornography? <i>I</i> think not. Ofcourse you need to see the photographs for what they are, naked women; but we've all seen our fair share of breasts, some more than others, and I think these images are beautiful, alluring<i> </i>and<i> </i>a saturnalia of the female form. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Besides, who doesn't want to see Lara Stone's fun bags? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />

CHRISTOPHE DECARNIN TO LEAVE BALMAIN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhOV8fwVRMg/TZxommw4fdI/AAAAAAAAB9M/FS96aKxj1EU/s1600/00340m-260x390.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZhOV8fwVRMg/TZxommw4fdI/AAAAAAAAB9M/FS96aKxj1EU/s320/00340m-260x390.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Balmain designer Christophe Decarnin’s absence after the label’s fall show in Paris raised eyebrows. Rumors followed that the designer had been hospitalized for depression. Now <em>WWD</em> is reporting that after five years, Balmain is parting ways with Decarnin. According to the <em><em>New York Times</em></em>, the house will name a successor next week, and the new creative director is expected to come from within the design team. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Decarnin is credited with building a frenzied hype around the label. His silhouette of strong shoulders on cropped tailored jackets over slashed t-shirts and skinny jeans–a look easily identifiable with Decarnin’s stylist during his reign at Balmain, current <em>Vogue</em> Paris EIC Emmanuelle Alt–was something customers wanted, even with the hefty price tags (<a href="http://fashionista.com/2010/03/whats-cotton-ripped-1625/" target="_blank">$1,625 for a ripped t-shirt</a>). As much as customers seemed to lust for Decarnin’s Balmain (and editors too, considering the $35,000 gold Balmain dress from fall 2010 that landed seven glossy covers), he had his critics, too–Cathy Horyn once called his clothes “elegant trash.”</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As for who will replace Decarnin? Horyn suggests Melanie Ward as a front runner. Ward styled the fall collection, and is said to have had a heavier hand in pulling the collection together as Decarnin was rumored to have been absent for months before the show. Ward replaced Alt who could no longer keep the gig after being promoted to the top spot at <em>Vogue</em> Paris." - via fashionista.com</div>John Mulebahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13475658015095069789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2870694383522991.post-77065984293889506112011-04-06T14:12:00.001+01:002011-04-14T04:11:27.993+01:00YES!!
