Surreal Or Real

Laura Kampman shot by Steven Meisel for the cover of the Italian Vogue. A classic portrait with a surreal twist.

Models Off Duty #1

I really love to look at streetstyle blogs and the models are always discussed. Not surprising. They used to wear the model uniform (white tee + jeans + leather jacket), but times have changed and their looks are more personal now.

Balenciaga Spring 2012

I'm in love with the Balenciaga spring 2012 campaign shot by Steven Meisel in a disarrayed hotel room. The model cast features newcomers Laura Kampman, Juliane Gruner, Kirstin Liljegren and Rosie Tapner.

Pre-Fall 2012: Balenciaga + Proenza Schouler

Balenciaga

 Nicolas Ghesquière returned back to the eighties. With mixed prints, high-tech fabrics, colored opaque tights and ankle booties you can make your own Balenciaga pre-fall look. I love the proportions and the silhouette.

and...

Proenza Schouler

 Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough from Proenza Schouler got their inspiration from a recent trip to the Himalayas. As we know Proenza Schouler they presented us the sporty chic look. With classic clothing with a modern twist in a color palette of black, green, light blue, red, mazarine and purple. By the way: I love that red sweater!
