sADurday series: Dolce and Gabbana / Madonna

Madonna is queen and everybody knows that. But what was super interesting about this week’s sADurday series is how Dolce and Gabbana depicted Madonna as a housewife, quite far from her reality of fame. Perhaps D&G was trying to fit luxury into wifely duties?

sADurday Series: Coco Chanel Fall 2009

Hey hey Saturday!

This week we are bringing back Coco Chanel x Lily Allen in the Fall 2009 Coco Cocoon advertisement! What I absolutely love about this series is how playful and spunky Allen is. She brings something more to the table more than just her self for celebrity branding. She gives the bags character and spice, and makes me even want one….an ad well done I think!

A Little Cure for Humpday

Hey there Wednesday!

I hope everyone’s humpday hasn’t been as yawn-y and sigh-y as mine but if it has, I hope by the end of this post you’ve at least smiled a little to knock out some of those yucky emotions.

and last but certainly not least, the ever beautiful Marilyn Monroe!

My favorite sound is the sound of people laughing. It’s so infectious and sometimes, before you know it, you’re laughing with them! This is one of my “get happy instantly” videos and I hope you find joy in it too:

stay happy – even on humpy humpdays!

Memorable Monday: Rebel Waltz – Agyness Deyn / Hedi Slimane

Hello Monday!

Today we’re starting off the week with none other than Agyness Deyn – model, actress, and singer- shot by Hedi Slimane (yes we’re featuring her again! check out our first post on her here). In March 2011 for Vogue China, Deyn showed punky angst and mystery wearing Burberry, Balmain, and Alexander Wang.

52553_00110_011

96450_00130_023

55617_00040_037

I think what Slimane does best is capturing the essence of her model and letting their personalities shine through the clothes and photographs. I mean, what better model is there than Deyn to show off black and white punk magic?

(maybe Freja Beha? stay tuned for next week!)

just because….

found these over pinterest and we are just in love with all the all black inspiration.

so we had a to do a post! just because….

W Magazine Screen Tests: Cara Delevingne

So although we are slightly biased because we are huge a lover of Cara Delevingne (check out our post of Cara x Terry Richardson) but we wanted to you all to check out W Magazine’s Youtube files ‘Screen Tests’ 

What we love about them are just how real, comfortable, and honest your favorite celebrities are. You’ll find videos of everybody from Mila Kunis, to Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson, Elle & Dakota Fanning, Jared Leto, Meryl Streep – you name it!

and so why are we at thatinblack letting you in on this?! they’re all shot in black & white!

ahh monochrome, we love ya.

so without further or due, here is Cara’s Screen Test:

“It took me a long time to start wearing clothes, I used to just love being naked. My parents would have to dress me because I would just run around the supermarket to take off all my clothes and start running around.”

her humor is so special.

we just can’t get enough of it!
