a visual collective outlet of inspiration 
ha ha. with all due respect to lucian and his work, i do think he got a few curves wrong over here… or shit, maybe mert 2 marcus (translation: retouch 2 death) got it wrong? pix from kate for love mag along with a bunch of others by mert & marcus. by xy

kate moss: by lucian freud
another by lucian freud. funny quote from the london telegraph regarding the exhibit with this painting “all summer, crowds of visitors have poured into the great lucian freud retrospective at the tate britain. one person who has been too busy to pop in, however, has been the artist (though he jokingly says he would like to go, if nothing, to see if all the things he has read about his work are actually true)”. by dd
Gia Coppola: for opening ceremony
who knew opening ceremony had a budget to produce? i just wanted to think of them as the kids around the block but no sir. that said, it’s a nice video with music by reyn spooner.. by dd
sailor girl: nop we wont stop
the thread is gettin’ heavy. kl i think my sailor girl beats yours… if i may say so. by dd
ethel granger
ethel granger was the woman with the smallest waist size in history…13 inches diameter… she was only taking her corsets off for shower, and was wearing her necklace as belt. weird. by pp.
you, car lover: peggy moffit
what good is a car, when there is no love in it? by cm
Chloë Sevigny
this is probably one of my favorite pictures of chloe. she looks amazing and graceful which is not always the case with her. that said shes a very cool girl, or at least she was when i met her on a shoot and she was so low key and down to earth. all that coudl have changed by now of course. by dd
marc is so dope and so is sam
tribute to sam the sham. thanx for tonight. by jr+sk+xy
built ford tough
dear tom ford: i get it, you’re launching cosmetics, so it’s all of a sudden all about color. but i can’t help but miss the contrast of the more modern stern seductress. i wanted to be that woman, i don’t think i want to be this one. also, even though she’s tougher, this campaign features almost the exact coloring as your old baby gucci‘s f/w campaign, but that’s probably just an unfortunate accident… or did mert and marcus get their briefs confused? you’re beyond the trend forecasting manuals, i have faith. by kl
even more jun ropé – this time by serge lutens
i couldn’t resist. although not as tight as avedon’s contributions below, they’re nice to see…so here are two spots by french photographer, filmmaker, hair stylist, perfumer, and fashion designer, serge lutens. by kl
more jun ropé treasures – avedon, shrimpton & huston
the fashion world was really coming into its own after the warhol separation from just being a clothes industry. models were mysterious personalities, and fashion imagery was becoming iconic and aspirational, not the pre-50’s document of a product. here are a couple more clips for jun ropé, this time starring anjelica huston and then jean shrimpton. by kl
avedon & hutton for jun ropé
gotta love the fashion myth. i guess this is an ad starring lauren hutton and richard avedon for some extinct japanese fashion brand called ‘jun ropé’, not sure exactly where it ran. but i love the stereotypes, the saxophone, and the avedon. by kl
