Jessica Stam Music Video

While Yulya is on hiatus, I want to keep Blogyul warm with this incredible video.  It’s years old and has less than 20 thousand hits so far.  How is that possible?  This is one of the coolest Stammy souvenirs ever!

Blank Canvas? More like Eye Candy!

Fred Perry for Liberty - Blank Canvas - Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

Looking for the ultimate shirt to go side by side with the vivacious vacation season? Well… Look no further, for Fred Perry for Liberty’s collaborative Blank Canvas collection has arrived. Working its signature floral and paisley prints, which are respectively named “Edenham” and “Mark”; the collection of four pieces shows off the casual smart dress code in quintessential style. What I love the most is how it simply looks so uplifting in the eye. Like candy! Delicious, delightful and divine!

It’s Balenciaga, Baby!

Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign

Balenciaga's power collage-style ad campaign

I hear a lot of people complaining about the Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign, but really, to me, it’s just perfection. The power collage-style with models overlapping each other in a criss-cross way is pretty playful. Accompanied accordingly by splashes of sizzling colours like citric yellow, fanta orange and lime green amidst the clean so-not-boring grey background, this set of photographs by Steven Meisel just screams fresh in a larger than life way to me. That’s Balenciaga, baby!

Hellooo, Haider Ackermann!

Haider Ackermann Spring/Summer ready-to-wear 2010

Haider Ackermann Cresta Leather Pocket Waistcoat

Have you ever met a piece of clothing that makes you feel that you are born to wear it? Well… I think I have just found my ideal match: Haider Ackermann’s Cresta Waistcoat (€1379) is certainly an addictive piece that I would not want to take off once I put it on. Made in Italy, this fine waistcoat with its eccentric detailing speaks of an incredible style that is elegant and refined – yet it also has a purely punky Edge that is overwhelmingly tough and powerful.

Carmen Kass – Overexposed

Carmen Kass is overexposed in Self Service Spring/Summer 2010 issue

Overexposed? That’s certainly the way that the Carmen Kass fan club would love to see the super idolised Estonian top model. Taking that term literally, photographer and editor in chief of Self Service Ezra Petronio has captured Ms. Kass through an indifferent light in this set of rather provocative photographs for the magazine’s Spring/Summer 2010 issue. Styled by the ingenious Suzanne Koller, the star of the editorial is seen dressed in the season’s hottest and rawest utilitarian pieces from Alexander Wang, A.P.C., Chloé, Céline, Balmain, Emilio Pucci to Hermès. Polaroids perfect!

Damir Doma Syndrome

Damir Doma Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Collection

Damir Doma Femerus Sandal

I don’t believe anyone could survive the unbelievable summer heat without a fantastic pair of sandals. Dropping down from heaven are these Damir Doma gladiators. Woven through a half boot, this pair of must-haves speaks of a terrifically tough style, while keeping someone calm and cool. Made in Italy, these leather sandals are truly the ultimate buddy to complement any summer looks. Are you ready? Let’s stir up a summer storm with Damir Doma!

Desert Kings

Fantastic Man - Super Sartorial Summer

Bastiaan Ninaber, Vincent Lacrocq and Ryan Barrett in H&M

Is it just me? Or is this Fantastic Man editorial entitled Super Sartorial Summer proclaiming its love for affordable mens fashion in the most blatant way ever? The heroes of the editorial – Bastiaan Ninaber, Vincent Lacrocq and Ryan Barrett – are photographed by Benjamin Alexander Huseby in a sharp selection from the Swedish fashion chain H&M. Doing those strong manly poses of theirs in unison by the picturesque desert location overlooking the endless blue ocean, one cannot help but sense that this summer promises to be hot and cool at the same time.

Peter Jensen Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 collection

It’s not every day that I fall madly in love with a fashion label in a matter of micro seconds, but it certainly looks like this is such a shameless case today. Namely, Peter Jensen’s Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 collection is simply fantastic! Running high on the innovation factor, the Danish-born designer’s signature is his mischievous touch on each piece of the collection creating something slightly twisted, but always youthful and super refined.

Cool in the Courtyard

Fudge vol. 22 May 2010.

Playing fashion. Slovenian model Marko Brozic enjoying his life in Prada.

Two of my favorite guys – Marko Brozic and Christopher Rayner – team up with soon-to-be-favourite-of-mine Nick R for this editorial from Fudge magazine’s May 2010 issue. Dressed in the season’s hottest buys from foreign high fashion labels as well as local talents by Stylist Marutani Naofumi, the boys look irresistibly cool chilling out in this picturesque courtyard. My ultimate favorite picture from this bunch of pictures by photographer Tokumaru Junichiro is no doubt Chris in the blindfold wearing a total look by Ann Demeulemeester. The composition of that picture from the pretty prickly epine black leather necklace to the obscured facial expression works flawlessly. This is definitely already listed as a favorite editorial of mine for the month.

Less Than* Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Tokyo

Less Than* Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Tokyo

Less Than* Showroom

I remember the day when I went to the Less Than* showroom like it was yesterday. It was a fine but chilly day in March. As a result of JFW overload and unsuccessful adjustment to the weather, my brain was really frozen that day, so really, I wasn’t expecting much in particular. With a little bit of difficulty finding the venue, (because the entrance to the building was slightly hidden and that the exhibition moved from level 4 to level 5 or something like that), I made it to the showroom. Stepping into the exhibition space, one could really sense the immense creativity behind the work.
