glen luchford: black magic

glen in early days with handsome jack (sparrow)

our soft-spoken friend, photographer, and film maker glen luchford, has truly reinvented himself with his beautiful black and white work. i saw something of his today and it prompted me to check his work again. his work for prada was for years the holy grail of fashion, and he’s sure to be on top of the list again with his new work above with models  mariacarla boscono and malgosia bela, beautifully rich . by uh

limited edition saris by hermes

finally hermes catches on to the wonders of a global vision. expanding one of their traditional signature pieces, the scarf, into a limited edition line of luxury traditional saris, ranging from $6,100 to $8,200 a piece. luxury brands are slowly finding their way to india, and hermes had opened their second store this fall in mumbai. but in contrast to other brands such as giorgio armani and ermenegildo zegna who are focusing on menswear, hermes turns to the woman. i like the idea of this, and even though from what i’ve see i think they could have gone a little more ‘hermes’ with the patterns, and even though i’m not indian, hopefully this isn’t a one time deal so i can get my own!  by kl
