Catherine McNeil and Mario Testino Team Up to Create ‘Prima Donna’ for British Vogue #Unique #NoirBeauty

Is there anything Mario Testino can not twist into magnificence? The answer is no, because he is pure art. Add uber model Catherine McNeil and you have an enchanting editorial for British Vogue called ‘Prima Donna’.

Thankfully, Models.com posted said editorial in full. Styled by the very talented Lucinda Chambers, Catherine looks beyond stunning and Mario Testino’s artistic ways have yet again, stolen my heart. It is a shoot full of noir, the romantic and has an air of perfect grace. Truly a trump for British Vogue’s September issue.

Beyond the clothing and make up this shoot came out so stunning it took my breath away. I had to post it. Enjoy the ethereal works of Testino and the Cat.

Muppets Most Wanted Logo

Although Facebook is a plethora of evil status comments, bad fan pages (like mine http://www.facebook.com/HeathyrWolfe) and ridiculous e-cards of hate, sometimes it brings something so good it cancels out everything. What can conquer evil and bring sunshine to countries like the UK? THE MUPPETS!!

Yes the Muppet’s are back in action in giving us “SEQUEL, SEQUEL” with Rick Gevais, Tina Fey, ScarJo, Penelope Cruz and the illustrious Ty Burrell.

Iris Van Herpen, Art in Fashion, 2013 Couture #Runway #Backstage

IMG_6823-kopieren1

If you haven’t witnessed the Couture shows in Paris, I suggest you start your education now. Fashion and art coincide in the most beautiful manner with designers such as Alexis Mabille, Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy and one of my all time favorites, Iris Van Herpen.

Iris van Herepen is not only a tented designer but is an artist with her couture line. each piece is not just unique but outstanding. Never garish and always chic she defines Haute Couture vision and represents everything it encompasses.

According to the writers at Wikipedia;

Iris van Herpen (born 5 June 1984) is a Dutch fashion designer. She studied Fashion Design at Artez Institute of the Arts Arnhem and interned at Alexander McQueen in London, and Claudy Jongstra in Amsterdam. In 2007, she started her own label. Since July 2011, she is a guest member of the prestigious Parisian Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, which is part of the Fédération française de la couture.

Iris is talented, and at a very young 29 years old is a beautiful and sometimes mad genius. Her couture is outstanding and always has a strange, creature like appearance. I am completely fascinated by her work and appreciate her sense of the odd and beautiful. Hopefully you will too. Here are some shots from backstage at the van Herpen show from the lovely Lea Colombo/Models.com.

Kanye Has Been Cheating On Kim with a Canadian Instagram ‘Model’ #Obvious #Cheating #PRstunt

leyla-ghobadi-gallery-instagram-1

If you are like me, right now, you are laughing. Yes, obvious news of the ‘no-duh’ has surfaced. Kanye has been hitting the piece of ass, fame whore above, Leyla Ghobadi, and cheating on Kim Kardashian.

Let’s look at the facts. While Kim was not pregnant, she was still nicely thick and Kanye was hitting it. in her first 3-4 months, she wasn’t showing but her boobs and ass grew. Kanye was hitting it. Kim then hit 5-6 months and Kanye suddenly decided to stay in Paris to ‘record’ knowing Kim couldn’t fly or travel. Kanye was very much not hitting that ass aka doing Kim. I’m not sure how this escaped Kim, except Kris kept her in the dark, controls her life and distracted her with a nickel in a bottle of water.

Basically, Kim is so ‘busy’ she didn’t notice the family poisoning the relationship and Kanye heading for the European Hills. That’s when fake tan & booby (like Kim), Canadian ‘model’ (I use this loosely) Leyla Ghobadi comes in.

Supposedly it was really hard for her to tell her story. This is why she released all her instagram photo’s to the press.And ran to Star Magazine to ‘tell her story’. Leyla is all about respect as stated below.

This is going to destroy the Kardashian family,” Ghobadi told Star. “It’s bad. It’s really bad. It’s just embarrassing. But if I were Kim and about to have a baby, I would want to know.”….“He told me . . . he wanted to ‘hook up,’ but I was concerned that he was seeing Kim Kardashian,” she told Star. “He told me that [the relationship] was for publicity and nothing serious.”…“We began to make out for a while — and next thing I knew, we were both naked and having sex,” she told Star. They had another tryst that October in New York — while the pregnant Kardashian was in Miami, Star reports. And the brazen mogul even tried to get her in the sack again this past weekend, the magazine reports. But by then, she knew Kardashian was pregnant and refused. “I would never do that to someone,” she told Star.

How brave and caring Ghobadi is! She wouldn’t sleep around with a baby daddy. She didn’t know Kim was pregnant for the last 8 months and just figured it out. Riiiigghht.

Well, all is well that ends in PR. Nice job stunt queens. You all get an Emmy. No one would have ever seen this coming. Stay tuned for Kim’s fake over reaction…..

Model Battles: Naomi (Thankyouverymuch) Campbell vs. Zi Lin (wannabe) #ModelWars

naomizilindestroyher

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life used to be so simple when we are all young, frivolous model’s. Editorial shoots, big money & sleeping with everyone. And so was the life of Naomi Campbell.

Then came Noami Campbell hitting 40-something. Although she is no longer a dainty, bitchy, flower, she is now a bitchy and violent,’seasoned professional’. Assaulting front desk people with phone’s, throwing Blackberry’s & keeping blood diamond’s, is just skimming the surface for this supermodel.

Enter Naomi’s new show ‘The Face’, and Luo Zilin from 1st (and hopefully last) season. A leggy pageant girl who won Miss Universe China, a la new model, signed to MIX Management. Zi Lin is now banging Naomi’s ex, Vladimir Doronin.

Let the game’s begin.

First, Naomi put a big cap on Zi Lin’s contract with Zi Lin’s money by killing her contract with MIX Management. They state she was let go due to ‘unprofessional’ behavior. We think they a little birdie (named Ms.’Thankyouverymuch’) might have had said something to make them can it. Something like, “That low-class, model, hooker is effing my ex and I will beat you in a back alley if you don’t let her go.”

NOW Naomi is brings the hate in round two. Naomi being more powerful than OZ, called up a few connection’s in China. Not only is she trying to get little Luo blacklisted worldwide, but she is asking her Chinese representation to show her the door.

Vlad and Luo are bummed and according to Dlisted (read more here) and the Daily Mail;

“It’s really sad that Naomi can’t leave Vlad alone since he just wants to get on with his life with Luo in peace. She’s had a very successful career so far and deserves better than being bullied by Naomi. At this point, what he cares about is protecting Luo and helping to undo the damage Naomi has cruelly tried to inflict on her.”

Someone need’s to get a hobby, and their name rhymes with ‘pain in the ass’. Take up knitting, do Yoga, drink wine to relax like all us fashion people, but STOP with the H-A-T-E. There’s no cosmetic surgery to fix ugly behavior Miss Super C.

If it help’s poor Luo and Vlad, I’ll lend Naomi my phone to throw at framed photo of the pair. Forget the wine, girlfriend need’s Xanax and a nap.

Cool Things, Rare Color Film Shows London Life in 1927 #Biocolour #NotColorized #PhotoCool #London1927

Screen-Shot-2013-05-16-at-3.16.16-PM

Normally we are all about modern. Modern lifestyle, model’s, DJ’s and concepts. However, there is the rare occasion we are struck by something vintage that is so cool it much be shared.

Picture this…literally. In 1927 Claude Friese-Greene shot some of the first-ever color film footage around London. He captured everyday life in London with a technique, innovated by his father, called Biocolour.

This is not ‘colorized’ or faked. It was presented by the British Film Council and is all, exactly what it looked like, back then.

Urban Peek notes British Film Institute used computer enhancement to reduce the flickering effect of the original Biocolour

This film is almost 100 year’s old. Enjoy this little feature;

‘United Scandinavia’ by Patrick Demarchelier in Scandinavia SSAW Magazine #Gorgeous #TeamSweden #Editorial

I am very proud to say I am Swedish. My Grandmother came over from Goteborg, Sweden (pronounced yotee-boree if you can believe it) in the 1920’s and passed on her heritage and awesome cheekbones to my mother and I. So when you see a mad genius like Patrick Demarchelier do a shoot for Scandinavia SSAW Magazine with our favorite Swedish supermodel, Frida Gustavsson, and super sexy Dane, Josephine Skriver, I HAVE TO share.

Memorial Day Movie Goodness, ‘Wolverine’ Trailer #Yes #ComingSoon #MovieHappy

The-Wolverine-movie-poster

Because in America we don’t ‘really’ honor Memorial Day as day of the fallen (we should), I give you a movie trailer. It is about a soldier but that is where the similarity ends with the whole holiday thing.

Let’s segue way in the awesome-ness that is Wolverine.

I LOVE Hugh Jackman. Anyone who can sing, dance, act ponce-y and be buff bad ass with facial hair issues is a hell of an actor. He needs a walk of fame star, and if he has one, he needs another. Besides being a great actor he play’s Wolverine to the teeth and kick’s ass at it. Hugh Jackman is owning this movie. The story line is epic and as a lead actor he know’s what he is doing.

I am dying that they went Japanese with this and they have a hot girl samurai warrior played by Rila Fukushima.

Rila Fukushima is not only great with a sword, but is a 5’7 fashion model from Japan. She started by working with D&G in 2004 and she has been a non-stop campaign and runway girl since. Rila has worked with Ben Taylor and rock god, Lenny Kravitz, as a video girl making her talented and hot. I am glad to see her expanding her sexy, crazy skills. Score one for Japan!

Last and never least, Famke Janssen. I have seen her bottom out and have taken some paycheck movies so to see her back as Jean Grey is awesome! Something about tall Dutch hottie’s (see Yolanda RHOBH).

Famke Janssen is smart, can act and at 47 (yes 47 boys) is a hot 6 foot tall Dutch girl who can steal any man’s heart. I am eternally thankful for the director’s casting her in this as the one X-men comeback character.

Think I’ve talked this movie up enough? Want to know why? Watch….

TGIF Video – Dior’s ‘Secret Garden, Versailles’ video

dior-secret-garden

There are few things in this world that have my heart. One is the house of Dior. Classy, timeless and run by Raf Simons, it is purely chic. Delicious even.

The other is my old school, goth, new wave upbringing. Namely Depeche Mode who has a soundtrack to everything in my life. Their music was timeless and full of top 40 songs I have danced to since the 80s.

What do you get when you mix awesome English band Depeche Mode with Dior?

This beautifully done campaign video. Originally released in a short version the final, long version will steal your heart. I know it did mine.
Enjoy this visual eye candy.

John Galliano Get’s the Boot From Parson’s. #Again #Burn

John Galliano just cannot get a break. Then again, why should he?

slide_199046_501966_free

In 2011 while helming the house of Dior, John Galliano went on a horrible anti-Semitic rant in France. Some poor couple was berated, he was arrested for drunken public behaviour and it cost him his job. This was an unforgivable faux pas, and frankly, pissed off a lot of fashion houses. Then he got it in his head he should sue Dior for wrongful termination making him persona fashion non grata.

Over the last two years Galliano has tried to smooth things over and get his career back on track. He has taken a temporary residency with Oscar de la Renta and HAD scored a job with Parson’ school of fashion design in New York. The key word being ‘had’.

The school, being of sound mind, and knowing their influence on youth in fashion, wanted Galliano to speak about his fashion design AND his actions in the world. Unfortunately being full of ego he still is having some ‘personal’ issues known as anti-Semitism, Galliano disagreed.

According to the Huffpost, a statement about the course by Parson’s said;

a candid discussion about the connection between his professional work and his actions in the world at large.” It said it canceled the workshop after the two sides couldn’t reach consensus on the conditions of the conversation.

A spokesman for Galliano didn’t immediately return a request for comment Wednesday.

Parson’s fired him and his fancy four day course and the rest is history.

In fashion we tolerate a large amount of crazy and terrible behavior. Sex, drugs, and runway are non-stop insanity and the people who make it happen are a bit ‘off’ as well. Being one of them I should know. We will not however tolerate racism, crimes against gays (they are our bread and butter) and religious hate.

Let’s hope Galliano learns to swallow is pride. It just cost him not only a job, but his reputation is beginning to ‘wear’ thin.

Evan Elliot ‘Never Forever’ Collection #Menswwear #Ninja #Emerging

Being a contributor and writer in the Fashion industry has its perks. One of said perks being I can go to NYFW and witness the amazing designers debut their collections. No I’m not just trying to make you jealous (maybe a little). I’m actually talking about the FW 2013-2014 collection shown by the very talented Elliot Giffs.

Labeled ‘Never Forever’ it premiered this year NYFW in Feb for Fall/Winter 2013. I don’t know where Elliot Giffis has been hiding because his collection was amazingly unique and high fashion.
k3G_CUcnRjEeAurzFqhSpM7b61IIgmirCmMua3NUUrolead
Seeing this menswear collection was refreshing. It tickled my freak chic fashion bone by being something akin to ninja gear for a metro sexual. Although most collections that are shown at NYFW usually show a bit more of an Americanized style, his reflects more of an international quality.
Curious yet? Check out the amazing runway photos from the Elliot Evan Fall/Winter 2013 collection pour homme.
Huge thanks to Michael Shane PR for show invite and photos (Fashionable love and Champagne kisses darling!).
