Stoner: Can you post a link to the hermes alligator slaughter house? I didn't take any pics of the fashion show bc it was an all male model show and after seeing 1000S of half-naked men prancing down the street outside my window during yesterday's pride parade, I'd had enough. Also, the house where j.k. huysman was born ( in your quote) is very close to my work. I like that author.

apologies for the late response. after that post with the j.k. huysman quote, i went on an inner journey, did some soul searching. BUT better late than never ? i just googled the hermes alligator docuementary and just got some links from dailymail ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/ne...reality-Hermes-luxury-crocodile-handbags.html ) i had a feeling the one i watched few months back was longer than 7 minutes, or could have just felt like due to the content...

pretty rad the birthplace of the huysman is close to where ya work. "À rebours" left a lasting impression on me, so much so it influences my thoughts and decisions in everyday life.

i think all of this comes from me having a crush on this guy who was addicted to top model or some such. he frequently asserted that well, people from Ugly Betty and The Devil Wears Prada pull invisible strings that determine what i wear. is there any truth in that?

im positive this guy was referring to this scene from the devil wears prada


/start random thoughts. wild last few months with the departure of wang, simmons, elbaz. accusations of cultural appropriation @ junya watanabe and valentino no shortage of controversy... lots to chew on. find it fascinating to explore topics like consumerism (h&m balmain) economics, exploitation of young/vulnerable kids like yall were discussing sofia mechetner on previous page, race, etc through fashion.

i really like what alessandro michele is @ gucci, and it's nice to see the house promote from within. last few years it has been like musical chairs @ so many major houses.

i leave with a great read on the one and only The Maddening and Brilliant Karl Lagerfeld

lindsey wixson by junseob yoon for vogue korea december 2015

i miss the ol' project runway, didn't even bother with this season =/

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

that's a great pick for chlöe. tiger on the bottom makes it.

it's a cliche word in the fashion industry, but lindsey deserves it; girl is iconic of this generation's supermodels. can't remember what event that was, but she completely captivated terry richardson and the resulting photo set suggests that he followed the teenager around all night taking photos of her being tipsy and shoveling spaghetti without regard to likely loaned designer getup. those impromptu photos went so well that they inspired a setup photo shoot soon after ...

for Purple Fashion fall 2011. really wish i knew what she was wearing in the top pic. she wears a few cool dresses in that editorial, including some rodarte. it's good she's getting her carbs and starches, but personally i think she looks better eating a mango.

i've got a bunch of spring '16 rtw somewhere in my favorite that i've been meaning to share, especially marchesa. finding those will be a chore and i'm at work, so for now ...

nastya looking ready for the title fight backstage at jean-paul gaultier couture spring '15. photo by r. torrado. there's a larger copy here, but it's white balance is too warm on my mac. looks completely fine on my work PC though. one day this variety in interpreting and displaying color code is going to drive me over the edge.

 

[JoeTheStoner]

impressive knowledge ya got on the lindsey/terry shoot =)

i just saw the one randomly posted when looking for more from the recent vogue korea spread on tumblr.

need one of those color calibrated adobeRGB monitors before plunge over the edge lol.

yea just been going through what i liked on tumblr. recall years ago saving all the pics to the hard drive, now just fav it.. much more convenient.

one more random lindsey/terry with a lil' humor...

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

took me a second.

impressive knowledge ya got on the lindsey/terry shoot =)

would be cool if it was true. swear i thought it was when i wrote it. but i mentally tacked a few photo shoots together, none of them including that shot. in my defense ...

at some restaurant for an event wearing a low cut black dress. also from 2011. looking back at it, her makeup would be a little over the top.

 

[JoeTheStoner]

understandable, could def see how ya got those mixed with the other ones from the above post.

was gonna post this in the art thread, but it fits here as well i guess...

karlie kloss by maciek kobielski for wsj december / january 15.16

i love fashion and space so i am very much diggin this...

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

those look like quite the heels karlie's wearing. even in a larger copy, i can't figure out what's going on with them. are they cleated like sports shoes?

i got the new issue of Self Service. harley weir photographed "the obsessions" section. i've only had a chance to glance at it, but it seems like a great issue. saw a couple shots that i expect will be worthy of this thread and/or tumblr. i also got the new Double Magazine, and it has a shot of thylane blondeau! it's not my favorite photo of her, but i'm thrilled to see her doing real work in an art house publication.

harley weir making it big with Vogue Paris ...

i recognize the gucci sweater. and the shoes are gucci, so maybe the skirt is as well.

i have no idea, tbh i didn't even notice till you mentioned it. i do see the cleats tho it shall remain a mystery...

read something about her going back to school for computer science, starting a code w/ karlie scholarship. admirable.

nice purchases, i recall seeing damaris goodrie shot by harley weir. amazing photographer. looking forward to the posts/pics.

and the more i see of the creations from alessandro michele for gucci the more i love it.

the skirt is definitely gucci. watch this video @ 1:37 and you will see the same print pattern...

who wore it better

dumb update, but i'll get something together later. that harley weir photo for vogue paris is BALLER. christ i hate american magazines and their hangups with tits

 

[Kenickie]

ok harley weir is one of my favorite photographers lately. he did that vulgar shoot with damaris goodrie which i loved

oh god! he did a Balthus interpretation! from like 20 pages back, because joe and i like pictures of girls and cats.

Animated Hairstyles of the 20th Century

i especially enjoyed the music to go along with different decades. woulda been super awesome had they used this for the jheri curl in '85 :D

who wore it better

especially enjoyed this one because it instantly brought to mind this doll i stumbled upon recently...

got hella likes of damaris on deck.

I had an interview today for Armani Collezioni.

Edit: I have a follow-up interview but not too familiar with the brand. I've been googling some stuff but can anyone share their thoughts on this brand? image, product knowledge, brand, style, trends, etc.

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

that's awesome, Pretty Diamonds. can't say i know anything about armani or armani collezioni. a quick wiki reveals they're a sub-brand that "aims at a younger age group and focuses on each season's trends like other designer brands in Milan fashion week." slightly more affordable than their runway/ready-to-wear line. justing browsing now, seems like all the armani lines are big on black, gray, and usually dark colors. doesn't look like armani collezioni has shows, so best way to scope their look would probably be online stores and their website. best of luck!

armani privé spring '08

ok harley weir is one of my favorite photographers lately. he did that vulgar shoot with damaris goodrie which i loved

yeah, i was so excited to see that harley and damaris editorial in Double. my favorite is the skirt and panties photo you posted.

harley is she.

the female counterpart to tyrone lebon. like sally mann, she's got a knack for and is able to get away with an aesthetic that feels like staring. that interview with her is a good find. funny how sweet she sounds, in contrast with her photography.

Self Service has fallen in love with her. she got one of the covers of their previous issue ...

in print, the type is foil. looked really good on my coffee table. though the new issue replaced it well. i've got a black coffee table with a bright red couch, and the cover is a black & white photo with red foil type.


nastya is dressed up pretty for (i think) Elle Russia ...

wearing esve spring '16, which i had never heard of before this season. the light on the dress is good stuff. can't figure out who the photographer is. too bad it's photoshopped into oblivion -- like so much of fashion photography. she always bears a resemblance to elle fanning, but especially here.

been meaning to post the runway shot for a while ...

moscow fashion week

 

[JoeTheStoner]

yea i know next to nothing about armani. except he is filthy rich, owns an italian basketball team and the prive collection of fragrances is half decent... =/

best of luck on the job prospect.

great friggin eye 'dro and agree on all counts, her aesthetic, tyrone lebon counterpart...

i had to look up the name and wasn't surprised had like quite a bit of tyrone lebon photos. you may recall...

ASHLEIGH GOOD, ADWOA ABOAH, FRANK LEBON BY TYRONE LEBON BY GARAGE MAGAZINE SPRING SUMMER 2014 14

the new table/couch sounds good. i'm sure that issue really tied the room together =)

never heard of esve till now, but that is beautiful...

i've kinda been obsessed with alessandro recently... like i'm totally in love with his amazing hair...

 

[Kenickie]

fuck up my shit

the friend i was staying with two pages ago in new orleans did the sets for yohji yamamoto f/w 2009 runway show and even did clothes with him and some fucking crazy shoes and now i'm shocked i didn't even know this the kicks are hella fly

Thank you for the links! Yeah, I've been browsing and watching interviews that he gave. I have my follow-up interview tomorrow so we shall see. I'm a good seller.. just not really a fashionista. Lol. I guess that just makes me a good liar. I know he does a lot of classics and he's known for tailoring...

Thank yoethestoner .
