MADONNA DOES VUITTON AGAIN (AND LOOKS LIKE 20)

Madonna does Vuitton's AW09 campaign. 

The older you get the younger you look. 


BARBIE FOOT

Wow this girl is really everywhere, isn't she?! Straight after her 50th B-day celebrations Madame Barbie goes for the Barbie-foot...



Designed by French designer Chloe Ruchon 'Barbiefoot' was part of the DMY youngsters exhibition at DMY Berlin Design Festival 09.

WORK

Well I guess there is a (small) part of me that has always been a bit ghetto... Loving Ciara's new song with a featuring from Missy Elliott. 

Can't really figure out if Missy Elliott has got a mullet in the video? 

FAREWELL PARIS MENS FASHION WEEK

Men's Fashion Week comes to a close as the temperature rises 30*C in Paris today. Some of my pictures from Paris up on Swide.com

SUPERFLAT FIRST LOVE

Takashi Murakami, you remember this name right? Back in 2003 the Japanese artist came up with a special-edition pattern to be used on those famous Louis Vuitton handbags... 

 Then  people started to call him the new Warhol (lame isn't it?!), and then there was that big Murakami exhibit in L.A. in 2007, then it went to Brooklyn, then Murakami did Kanye’s “Graduation” cover... And now, well... the whole thing starts again with a new series of little wallets in a multicolored print that, let’s be honest, looks almost exactly like the colorful 2003 print... 


Anyway. To celebrate 6 years of collaboration Murakami and Vuitton also worked on a (slighly annoying) five-minute video called Superflat First Love, available as a mobile download in Japan.

APPLE APPS HYPERWALL

At Apple's recent WWDC developer conference, 20,000 of the most popular iPhone apps were showcased on a pulsating wall of 30 Cinema Displays. Whenever someone downloaded a particular app, its icon pulsed light outwards creating a mesmerising display. Crazy.

APHRODITE'S CHILD . ITS FIVE O'CLOCK

Demis Roussos back in the days. Great style, great song.

MORE KARL PLEASE

Yes I am getting a bit obsessed by Karl today! Thing is BBC has just revealed this morning a video showing more Karl at work... He has designed special ballet costumes to mark the centenary of the legendary dance group Ballets Russes. Karl I just can't get enough of this English! More please.

LAGERFELD CONFIDENTIAL

What a character! Karl Lagerfeld is very probably one of the person I found the most fascinating/intriguing/talented.

    photo from Lagerfeld Confidential, 2007.

Dark sunglasses, white ponytail, high starched collars and beringed hands, coupled with some lines that you just cannot forget like 'Those who love fashion wear fashion', 'Fashion is unfair and risky', 'I just want to be an apparition', 'People with turbulent lives spend their time on the phone', he is just amazing.

Lagerfeld Confidential is an interesting portrait of the living legend directed by Rodolphe Marconi in 2007. It is an extended interview without talking-head commentary, and even though it probably only shows 10% of the real Lagerfeld it is worth watching it! Here is a little taster...

IT'S BLOODY RAINING

After the sun here comes the rain again. Time to get some very special wellies. Yey!

OPTION 1 - Neon Heel Rain Boot by Chanel 


OPTION 2 - Green Rain Boot by Gucci

OPTION 3 - Gold Studded Rain Boot by Burberry

ROCK THE BOAT

New Longchamp AW09 campaign, once again shot by Mert & Marcus.... Kate Moss and Daria Werbowy looking pretty glamourous here but I prefer the sailor men in the backgroud to be honest. 

UNIQLO TOKYO FASHION MAP

Wow this is a pretty cool website! Uniqlo Tokyo Fashion Map is basically some cleverly interwoven video clips of Tokyo residents wearing Uniqlo clothing and mapped to their real world locations. Kinda hard to explain. Just check it out!
