Grazia: Miss J’s book (collective gasp)

Found here… Who do you think has the best and worst catwalk walk of all time? BEST:MOSES – HE WALKED ON WATER…! WORST: ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN ME. Models falling on the catwalk – are they just doing it for attention? NO, SOME TRIP OVER THE DRESS OR LOSE THEIR FOOTING IN HIGH HEELS, [...]

The History of Fashion Photography

Whilst doing some research for my humanities project, I came across this little gem of an article… “Female fashion photography has evolved over the years since the first cavemen and women clothed themselves in furs and strolled around the caverns.

8.15 // ever get that feeling?

Do you ever get that feeling where you’d just love to stay up really late into the night and into the morning, tapping away on your keyboard, writing something wonderful? Or scribbling away and getting pencil dust all over the side of your hand, but being so engrossed  in your writing that you don’t bother [...]

Fall Line-up (Even Though It’s August)

We all know and live with the fact that the fall shows occur months and months before we can actually pull on those chunky knits or those thigh-high charcoal grey suede boots or that slouchy, camel oversize trench, but we can’t help but imagine ourselves striding around in the golden autumn colours in our funky [...]

4.21 // Failure not an option

Too detected and/or pissed to do a proper post. Pop quiz in Am Lit = D+, which I’ve never, ever gotten on anything before, EVER. I hate that class and that teacher so much… the unquenchable fires of Hades, the roaring fury of a hungry and particularly irritated lion, all the annoyingness of those small [...]

4.20 // A new Seabiscuit (for Hungary)

Everyone knows the story about Seabiscuit, the racehorse who overcame all odds, it seemed, to become a national symbol of hope and pride in the Depression. And who hasn’t realised that we’re in a new Depression – have been for some time, actually – and that everyone’s feeling a lot like they did in the [...]

4.14 // And how was your day?

“Style isn’t what but how you wear clothes. Fashion is the way you walk, talk, dance and prance.” – first issue of i-D (here) “While we’re both geeks, Adam is Twittering everyday, and it’ll be a cold day in hell when you see me Twittering anything.” – Jamie, discussing their [Adam & Jamie's] geekiest qualities [...]
