this blog is a visual notebook of inspirations for a group of bandit bloggers. we post things we see and like. our lives don’t revolve around singular topics and neither does our blog. sorry! nothing is in-or-out of context here. enjoy xx
ok the man is cool we got that. confirmation by photographer mathias vriens. too bad the french edition of playboy as we knew it is gone. i guess another example of how good/better work doesn’t necessarily make much money or sell… at least not to truck drivers that is.by dd
ok, since we’re around dior, here are three really nice pictures from makeup artist (doesn’t make sense, i know) tyen. the photos feature dior dresses from 2003. niiiiceby pp
would like to go to the rene gruau exhibition in london, always loved the graphic style and the atmosphere of his illustrations. too bad i’m not around!by pp
it’s always tricky to accept that the lines we feel deep deep love for may not deliver when it comes to the apparently cool collab with also lovable h&m.; 1+1 should = 2 but hasn’t always in the past. we will have to wait until november 20th to sort out all of these mixed emotions with lanvin’s turn. in the meantime, enjoy the full collection video. by kl
if fashion was to be aspirational i must admit that they have lost their way in the desperate state of economic affairs. how pathetic is the state of the fashion world when you go from creativity, to celebrity, and all the way down to trash. what do these people stand for? what is there to aspire to? why are they pushed onto our consciousness? what have they left behind for us to aspire to? are we to be admire trash talk, lack of talent, lack of intelligence, and lack of any creativity in these beings? the answer is yes of course. fashion’s legitimacy was always in question, but now it doesn’t even deserve the question. i for one canceled my subscription to W, one of the only US pubs that at least in the past had brought some interesting photographers to the mainstream stage, like philip–lorca dicorcia, and ryan mcginley. the biggest faux pas in this whole thing is that W even dared to put kim and the word art on the same page. its a sad grey day indeed! by dd
looks like sean had better taste in women than john… well i guess that’s not so nice to say. i do like yoko as annoying as she sometimes is she made john a better man, i mean how one can go from writing “love me do” to “working class hero” is beyond me.by dd
always loved jean toutou’s tone. this one from the apc journal is great, my favorite is “art is for mobster”, but i have to say that “fashion is for losers” don’t make sense out of his mouth, feels a little phony, isn’t it? even if this is true…by pp
