Memorable Monday: Flair Magazine / Quentin Jones

Quentin Jones is known for his bold pop art influences and this editorial is no different. In the November 2013 issue of Flair magazine, Jones shot model Daga Ziober and the results are slightly outrageous but totally interesting:

In some of the shots I can’t tell which is more interesting, Jones’s work or the fashion, but perhaps that’s what makes Jones’s work identifiably his.

sADurday series: Marc Jacobs / Protect the Skin You’re In Campaign

This week’s sADurday series is far from kid-appropriate but I think it’s an interesting campaign that Marc Jacob’s launched. The “protect the skin you’re in” campaign began in 2006 by Jacobs and his was intended to raise awareness about skin cancer. Jacob’s creates tees with nude celebrities covered by slogans “protect the skin you’re in” “protect your largest organ” and “cover your ass.” Celebrities who have been a part of the campaign include: Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell, Winona Ryder, Miley Cyrus, Cara Delevingne, Victoria Beckham, Dita von Teese, Eva Mendes, Robert Duffy, and more.

The proceeds of the tees go to the Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at New York University.

and without further or due here are the ads:

Famous Friday: JLo

Jennifer Lopez, or JLo, is one of the women who I grew up idolizing. She is a strong, confident woman with insane talent and fame. On and off the stage she is a bold figure and quite a force to be reckoned with. In addition to being a famous singer and actress JLo is also an author and fashion designer, and after this post I’m sure you’ll see why!

Jennifer Lopez arrives at the "Late Show With David Letterman"

business chic with a contemporary flair, just showing off the right amount of skin

Truth Tuesdays: Alexander Wang

Today’s quote is by Alexander Wang, the acclaimed owner of his own line, Alexander Wang in addition to being the creative director of Balenciaga. This is what he has to say about everyday fashion:

4dde2a1c63201e2873a303d56ae35000

I agree with that! Everyday wear is telling of how you view yourself for yourself. 

Wang’s statements are also relevant to the fashion he produces. He is known for his urban wear, his T collection, and his textile work.

take a peek:

Famous Friday: Lucy Liu

Lucy Liu is just one of those people who has the “it” quality of a star. Something about her presence, her command, her elegance, and her ferociousness is quite undeniable.

LucyLiuBlack1_zps2746806a

she doesn’t ask for your attention, she grabs it.

ok, granted, those two photos are polished and edited.

but trust us she is just as commanding when she’s candid.

but she polishes up quickly to show off her sleek silouhette without any skin

and it’s not only for the gala events.

lucy liu on-the-go might just be as chic as she is on the red carpet

but let’s be honest, the one most memorable image we all have of liu is
