Agent Provocateur — Always Remember Your Agent Provocateurs


johan renck has done some very witty and interesting “shorts” for brands like h&m. for the first second, i didn’t think this one was quite up to par, but was going to include here because there seems to be a lingerie theme on TS of late.  on the other hand, this vid for agent provocateur is actually perfect for them… energetic, funny, and just the right amount of crass and ass. featuring paz de la huerta of course. by kl

Dutch model Dioni Tabbers by karen collins


mini vixens beware. dioni tabbers (supreme model management) shot in london on location at cromwell muse with stylist sasa thomann. love the 60’s feel and the vintage mini and its baby blue color (somewhat rare)… not that we don’t like dioni tabbers, but i’m just impressed at the chest room in the back of the this tiny of all cars. reminds me a bit of the french brand paul & joe campaign by the same photog. photographed by karen collins. by dd

lanvin dance video: fall winter 2011


hmmmm…lanvin dance contest… i’m sure it will work and do very well given the audience, even though they may not be the actual clientele of lanvin.  i saw this, over the weekend when a friend was bragging how great it was. i’m not 100% convinced, but i do like the fact that it breaks with stogy world of fashion and brings some lightness and fun into fashion. now while albaz is a cooky, fun fellow, the brand isn’t.  H&M pulled it off well on the lanvin, lagerfeld, and viktor & rolf spots, i think this video which is a complete reference to burning rocks (fassbinders script) which we had posted ages ago.  it’s not executed as well as it could have been, and places the lanvin house line quite close to the H&M lanvin line, and that is not very brilliant. by dd

anja rubik by Hedi Slimane the full story

this story with emmanuelle alt for french vogue back in 2010 was quite nice, despite different from what we all thought of hedi and his candid B&W. i was still glad to see that hedi, unlike karl, was no debutant and  actually has something to share. i tried to buy 3 images from trunk at some point last year but hedi was being a pain not happy with the usage although it was indirectly related to US vogue. i’m sure he doesn’t need the extra few dollars so at the end i appreciated that. in any case i finally managed to get the full story in one place and thought id share it. by dd

Too Young?

thylane lena-rose blondeau 10 year old model photographed as a grown up women. gorgeous young girl but isn’t it too early for her to be wearing makeup and heels.definitely something new and different but is this appropriate; i guess it depends a lot on each persons point of view. i would say it is fun but too seductive…what is your take? by ac
