MARCHESA FALL/WINTER 2012.13

Yum yum yum! In true Marchesa fashion the collection featured elaborate bead work, luxory fabrics, feathers, tulle tulle and more tulle.  The collection was inspired by late nineteenth century French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau’s “A Soul Brought to Heaven”, his painting depicts two angels spiriting a young woman through the clouds. Elegant perfection!

THE EVER CHANGING FACE OF BEAUTY BY SOLVE SUNDSBO

Once again, Solve Sundsbo effortlessly proves his brilliance. For the March issue of W Magazine, he has cut and spliced top model Lara Stone intro four pieces and juxtaposed against animals, men, nature, etc. Mixed media heaven! Stylist Marie Chaix tried to portray each of Spring’s biggest trends deeming photos with names like “Flower Power” and “Bright Ideas”. Brilliant! 

BCBG MAX AZRIA FALL/WINTER 2012.13

Talk about a color block! The collection started out with flesh tones and nudes combines with pure whites to create a very delicate surface. Soon after however, color injections started to occur in the form of tangerine and royal blues with a sea of luxe furs. An overall beautiful collection with hints of Piet Mondrain and continuous unique BCBG quality. Peep the footage of the full show (above)!

“SMOKING KIDS” BY FRIEKE JANSSENS

After seeing that infamous video of a chain-smoking Indonesian toddler, Frieke Janssens created a photography series entitled ‘Smoking Kids,’ which displays tobacco-puffing kids of various backgrounds. 

Since smoking is a societal norm among adults, she decided to use children as her subjects to create a powerful imagery that has the viewer focus on the act of smoking itself rather than make assumptions about who’s doing it. Check out the rest of the series here.

p.s. Don’t fret! The cigarettes and smoke are from props!
