you can take the girl outta canada, but not canada out of the girl

daria is kinddofa tomboy of sorts. i remember her as being a rather tough chic or at least acting like she was, but these pictures are quite soft and beautiful, perhaps my favorite pictures of daria all together. by cc

garance doré has had it with street photography


the french blog sensation garance doré has officially had enough of shooting random people on the street. maybe it’s a sign that the street-fashion blog phenomenon is winding down? now that brands such as burberry and DKNY have used scott schuman aka the sartorialist to shoot their campaigns, maybe the original charm is gone? the surprises have become predictable, the looks and fashion more and more the same and the endorsements too big.

as told to rebecca voigt in interview magazine’s latest issue:
“i still find people on the street, but i’ve kind of had it with street photography. at first, it was great to see fashion on someone going to work, but now there are so many pictures like that that the magic has been lost a bit. i want to take pictures that tell more of a story. there are still some very talented people who succeed in giving the sensation that each street photo is a story. but i photograph less on the street now.” -garance doré

now prada, then ysl, who’s next?


so after ryan mcginley’s film for pringle of scotland (see below, which is my fav. by far), here is the prada movie. it’s much more of a moving fashion shoot with idiotic looking male models, but it’s nice still. then there is the YSL movie by bruce weber, very bruce weber-ish, what else can i say? so who’s next? what’s the thing with fashion houses making movies this season? by pp’

Ryan McGinley & Tilda Swinton, who directs whom?

ryan mcginley films for pringle of scotland. is his style changing as production budgets change, or just time and evolution? either way i think it looks gorgeous; but i must admit, i am easily seduced by the colors. other credits include creative director neville wakefield, sound design by eric nagy, music by dogee mountain (interlude). the texture of the music is imperative to the full experience of these landscapes, even the clothes for that matter. but the recitations…meh. by kl

terry’s diary: terry richardson’s blog is finally up

olivier zahn and terry richardson, hah ha!

better late than never. terry’s blog is finally up and worth a bookmark. this will give olivier a run for his money, after all, with terry around, it seems like everyone thinks they can take pictures too. granted when you are olivier and have the right people around (as in backstage at chanel) it’s kinda’ hard to miss.

but for all that’s said about terry i have to say what is amazing about his work is not the photograph itself, its the situation and the energy he fabricates with such mastery with everyone and anyone, and that’s what is not easy to copy. otherwise yashikas are a dime-a-dozen. check out terry’s diary here. by cc
