Sean O’Pry for Simons Spring 2010......

Los Angeles is almost ready for the heat as the summer sun soon approaches. I'm looking forward to grabbing comfortable t-shirts from my closet and spending my free time at the beach. Simons new look book has perfect wardrobe essentials and the clothes look even better on top model Sean O’Pry.

Chanel Cruise 2011 look book.....

Chanel released the Cruise 2011 look book featuring uncle Karl's favorite Baptiste Giabiconi alongside Georgia May Jagger photographed by Karl Lagerfeld of course. First Jerry... and now the daughter, Baptiste?

Tight knit.....

Cutie model River Viiperi looks sexy alongside models Rel and Yulia in these images shot by photographer Jeffrey Cohen for the contributing editor.

The Beauty of Violence....

The Beauty of Violence is Karl Lagerfeld’s portrait of his newest muse, the darkly handsome Italian fashion model Baptiste Giabiconi, whom Lagerfeld first spotted in French Vogue. For Lagerfeld’s lens, Giabiconi enacts an erotic seizure in myriad facial and corporeal expressions, and in various degrees of clothing. Well chosen as a portrait subject, Giabiconi is a theatrical chameleon: he confronts the camera with a provocative, sultry stare, or withdraws from it into a state of feigned self-absorption. Lagerfeld loves to engage such seductive subjects and to capture their bodily rhetoric of sexual aggression: The Beauty of Violence is the latest chapter in his love affair with the many incarnations of male Eros.

Brittain Ward in Elle Italia......

I love this sexy editorial for April 2010 issue of Elle Italia. The editorial was shot by Matt Jones featuring Suzanne Diaz, Jerreth Ludwig and Brittain Ward among others.

21st century fur.....

Fur in recent years has left the Upper East Side and invaded downtown, it owes much to Kopenhagen Fur and its Kopenhagen Studio design initiative. Collaborating with designers like Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens, and Gaspard Yurkievich (as well as luxury labels like Gucci and Louis Vuitton), Kopenhagen Studio has directly sourced some of the most luxurious animal pelts in the world.

From fox and chinchilla to mink and karakul—and placed them in the hands of fashion’s most forward-thinking artists. Nevermind the politics—Kopenhagen’s collaborators have reimagined fur as anything but old school, and not even necessarily for women. For Fall/Winter 2010, designers have produced ever-inventive takes on the fabric, like Soulland’s men’s baseball jacket with sheared mink sleeves, David Andersen’s sleeveless mink vest, and Haider Ackermann’s cocooning chinchilla fur jackets. Young designer Domingo Rodriguez-Baez showed a bias-cut mink coat inserted with reindeer leather panels, and for dudes, a slim and simple fur bomber. Anyway you wear it, Kopenhagen Studio is bringing fur into the 21st century.

Cheap Monday's......

I really want this grey sweater by Swedish designer Ann-Sofie Back. Since assum-ing the role of creative director at Cheap Monday, she’s begun growing the famously anarchic jeans line into a full-on ready-to-wear collection; for Spring/Summer, she riffs on the always-ripe language of disaffected youth. The line’s strategic rips, strips of silver faux duck tape, innovative dye jobs, and muted palette will feel equally punk Stateside as they do in Södermalm.
