One of the first things that come to mind in terms of morphing is the end of the M.J "Black or White" video.
Now, the fashion world is following in his mocassins footsteps with Model Morphosis. Photographer Greg Kessler has created a fun and interactive exercise where you witness the transformation of models before and after their hair and make up have been done during the NY Fashion Week.
It's interesting to see the chameleonesque metamorphosis before the mille-feuille of make up layers...and it's highly entertaining to see how some looks can be terrifying after the work. And sometimes before, too.
Some people have this strange power. A power that makes everybody fall in love with them, even without knowing them personnally. Something beyond charm. Jean-Paul Gaultier, Charlotte Gainsbourg have it. And my friend Ioana too.
The man who designed exquisite clothes and said exquisite things such as "The most beautiful garment a woman can ever wear is the arms of the man she loves." had a 50 year-long relationship with Pierre Bergé, a businessman/pygmalion/poet/art collector (700 pieces he sold after Yves Saint Laurent's passing).
Pierre Bergé declared once "Yves is never happy. He is only happy a few hours a year, during the presentation of his collection." It is this perpetual torment that lead him to create some of the most iconic clothes (the Safari Jacket, smoking...) for his muses - Loulou de la Falaise, Betty Catroux, Talitha Pol-Getty, Catherine Deneuve...
On September 22nd, the documentary about Pierre and Yves' relationship "Un amour fou" by Pierre Thoretton will come out.
Love and Haute Couture... Let me slip in my Mondrian dress I don't own, and I'm there!
The Swedish fashion house joins Candy Magazine in celebrating diversity, androgyny and cross dressing. Together they designed a mini collection of three shirts in the name of transsexuality and transvestism. Embrace your sexuality and orientation with either the Alexis, Sammy Jo or Krystal style in silk or denim. In case these names don't ring a bell yet, think of 80ies soap opera Dynasty. Well done guys, well done!
Do you remember the time when you had a pen friend and, well, after a couple of badly written english letters it would miserably fail ?
It did work for Rosa and Pauline. Our relationship started with work emails and pouf, something clicked. When we finally met, it felt like we knew each other for years. And we had so many things in common, it was a bit spooky. Oh, and also we realised we both blush very easily. So why not make the most of your flaws and turn it into a blog?!
This is blushed
