agyness deyn in “Mean To Me”: a film by McDermott & McGough

beautiful stills of agyness deyn in a film by mcdermott & mcgough


“mean to me” is the the first scripted film by mcdermott & mcgough. the film stars actor linus roache and agyness deyn in her acting debut. the 13 min art film was sponsored by guerlain and mikimoto, and the stylized 1930s era pieces were courtesy of zac posen who selected gowns from his archive. it’s quite a beautiful piece, and agyness is not only gorgeous in it, but rather impressive in her delivery and acting. that is not necessarily the case with linus roache, who almost looks the part but not quite. like tom fords film, “mean to me” is more of a visual feast than a “film” but for sure worth the time. a great first film, and impressive for a film that is so fashion based.

the film will be shown at galerie jerome de noirmont in paris from june 2nd through july 3rd. the film will also be screened at the centres pomidou during their film festival series september 24th through 26th 2010. by uh

Remember Now: a short film by Karl Lagerfeld

well, not everyone can be tom ford. from one icon to another tom ford may need to help mr. lagerfeld with his plot. the symbolism, imagery, and lifestyle portrayed in this short for chanel cruise collection 2010/11 is remarkable. the clothes are to die for, as you can expect nothing less from chanel, and we are not doubting karl lagerfeld’s one of a kind vision, which oozes through this short.  however, the acting is, well…. lets just say that trying to add a slash to your resume doesn’t always work out for everyone. by nh

alexander mcqueen eyewear – mauvais gout


flipped through the latest issue of “V” fashion mag and saw the mcqueen eyewear ad above. i don’t know if that was planned, if that is supposed to be funny or ironic or anything but that seems a little “mauvais gout” to me. so, one can say, yeah but the skull was part of the whole idea, still it’s a little off. by pp’

“best part of the decade”

when she’s not styling a.p.c campaigns, or flashing her tits to mr zahm or stabbing jarvis’ heart, stylist camille bidault is making lovely pictures. her first story was published on the web version of another mag. although i’m generally tired of those crossing over various carriers, actors singing, models acting and so on, i must admit that there is something really fresh and appealing in miss bidault’s photographs. hopefully there will be more to come! by pp’

chanel cosmetic adverts: malgosia bela photographed by solve sunsbo


for the record, aside the early lancôme campaigns approx 3 years ago, these are some of the most beautiful cosmetic advert ever. polish model malgosia (actually malgorzata) bela photographed by norwegian photographer solve sunsabo. i remember when i first saw one in a publication, it just stunned me. i stopped and had to take notice. it was quietly screaming and making me want something… i’m still wondering what that was. by dd
