Daphne Guinness: Closet Exhibitionist
Visual vagabond – we have seen new vistas through your vast imagination. Shimmering shaman – you have guided us in the darkest, unadorned hours. Priestess of precision – you balance on tip-toe with the weight of the worn world on your shoulders. Maestro of modern mode – we enjoy your symphonic ways. Enigmatic Eve – [...]
Universal Appeal
Sometimes a single photo of Ms. Wintour in dark glasses puts a multitude of things into perspective. Image courtesy of The Sartorialist.
Meisel’s Mixed Metaphors
If Frida Kahlo was a Victorian Goth, Flamenco-dancing gypsy, who lived in a surreal painting in India, this is what she would wear. Mr. Meisel – just when I was starting to yawn, you took me to a dreamy state. I know these might be disturbing to some – and portray images of women as [...]
Déjà Vu: Global Village
The World Wide Web has shrunk this wide world. It has shortened distances on maps, it has bridged borders and generally, brought people closer together. Our village is indeed, global. Our possibilities are endless, as are our dreams. The global landscape is ours to behold. And the language – a highly visual one – requires [...]
Diana Vreeland’s Eye – For Your Eyes
Diana Vreeland, wasn’t called the “Empress of Fashion” lightly. The editor who started it all – working at Harper’s Bazaar for a quarter century, then taking the (Hermès?) reigns at a little publication called Vogue, had an eye on the world of culture, design, fashion and art – that changed the way we saw those things. It [...]
Déjà Vu: Mothers of Pearl
In the Heroes-themed issue of V Mag, Ms. Winslet recalls… …Ms. Taylor and her pearls. We all know Ms. Taylor loved her pearls and other baubles. Well, now her entire collection of gems is going up for auction in December. Christie’s in New York will be selling the 300 pieces, valued at over $30 million. [...]
A New Face: Fairy Goth-mother Edition
My favourite (and only) fairy goth-mother is known for her unique sense of style. Hers is a different kind of beauty – one that resided in another time – in the past, in fairy tales of bygone eras – Victorian, Elizabethan, or otherwise. One can simultaneously imagine her as a being from the future – galactic [...]
A Pass on the Masses
Ubiquity does not equal success in all cases. With all of these brands, with all of these voices, with all of these choices, are we at an impasse? Let there always be an alternate view, a non-conformist to guide a few of us through, an auteur of the avant-garde to stand apart from the en [...]
Rock Chick Chic
Happy Birthday, Ms. Hynde. This photo is from 1979, but very au courant, no? Looking good is really black and white – sans seasons, trend-less and unattached to age. This one is more recent, but the style is still flawless. “I’m special – so special…there’s nobody else here…no one like me…” There have been a [...]
Kick Start
It’s that time of year – time to start things up again and time to put on a few extra layers. Are you ready for back to cool? Image: Vogue.com.
Déjà Vu: Dovima vs. Ms. Moss
So while we wait for the September British Vogue, let’s review our August homework, shall we? Here is the first shoot with Mrs. Hince – as photographed by Mario Testino for the August issue of the Vogue with the accent. This might be the new Ms. Moss – but this whole editorial had me doing a déjà vu [...]
Glamour Comes to Town
Four more sleeps – until no sleep at all. It’s that time of year in Toronna – things are in a tizzy for TIFF. Glamour is coming to town, kids. Be ready for your HD close-up. Images: TFS.
Super September
What’s better than the September books? September cover Supes! First, there’s Cindy C in Louis V, vamping it up at 45 – as captured by Simon Upton for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore. Three other Superfriends grace the cover of Vogue Spain, like the holy trinity of trend-setters. Photographed by Tom Munro, the girls are wearing star-printed [...]
Stroke of Genius?
Fashion and music are often bedmates. Well, Julian Casablancas has recently been bedded by French perfume maker, Azzaro, for the brand’s latest campaign. Or is it the other way around? Sell-out, you say? I suppose the Strokes frontman beat them all to the punch. Better to hear a new tune he composed for the commercial [...]
