+ ‘Fragments’ by Marilyn Monroe +

The umpteenth incursion into the golden blonde privacy comes now in the shape of a book. As if a totally exposed life had not been enough and after the exhaustive examination of her last photo shoot, analyzed in detail trying to discover in her languid and absent expression some premonitory signals of the imminent...

+ Rustic & Ascetic: The New Minimal +

I always love Carlotta Manaigo’s work, her sensitivity when taking pictures manages to go through the lens and remain captive in her subtle and serene, delicate and intimist images; like in Space is no Longer the Final Frontier, the editorial included in i-D Fall Issue. Modelled by Ylonka Verheul and styled by Cathy...

+ Standing Next to Me +

Apparently, early-morning drilling is already about to become a habit in the building. Today the drilling went further from early-morning and lasted till not long ago. I had no other chance than counterattacking with this. Because this is sounds so old but so new at the same time, so fresh but so familiar. Standing...

“Illustration, like photography, is always something that comes and goes. These are the most didactic ways of showing things, they are always present, sometimes in a stronger way than other times. At the moment, I thing there is a trend towards the most natural style, the simple and spontaneous. It is a reaction against...

If I made a list with all my still-to-watch films (among many other things), I am sure it would be totally embarassing. I am obviously talking about all these must-see films that for some different reasons I have not seen yet. In a humble attempt to start amending my faults, I devoted my weekend...

+ Sssh, Sssh, Ssshoes +

I think there are no better words than these pictures to describe the eye-popping vintage shoe selection of Made in Berlin (Neue Schönhauser Straße 19, Berlin). Colourful or timeless classics, in suede, patent leather, with golden trims, with 80’s pop-like graphics, in plaited leather, with metallic foil prints. You name it: they have...

David Koma Playing with the classical ballet clothing and the ballerina image, mostly in black, white and with some incursions in gold, Koma progressively transgresses the idea of the classical tutu along his latest collection, sometimes adding panels in contrast colours, other times shortening it till making a piece to add over pencil skirts. ———- Reinterpretando la...

Peter Pilotto A photography book about rock climbers worked for the London-based duo as the inspiration and starting point of next season; their latest collection in camel, white and blue shades has a clear technical side and, even sometimes, a cold futurism feeling all over in the neat silhouettes and the structured garments that are...

“Chalayan is renowned for an innovative use of materials and a progressive attitude to new technology.

Marc Jacobs The dramatic partying-hard-like diva make up, the backcombed hair so Diana Ross and the asymmetric and light floor-lenght dresses make totally clear these are the most deluxe 70’s: the exotic ones with flowers everywhere, the ones of the explicit sensuality, the sparkles and the powerful colour.
