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

she also boldly shows off her toned legs, and has every right to!

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:

Memorable Monday: “Zero Shades of Gray” / Nylon Magazine

I think my favorite thing about Marvin Scott Jarrett’s “Zero Shades of Gray” is the kind of off-beat but still incredibly stylish outfits. If I had the wardrobe this April 2013 shoot had, I just wouldn’t think to put all the pieces together. But I suppose that’s why I’m not a stylist! Michael Kozak’s genius really does seep into this Nylon number:

Nylon-Magazine-Pier-59-Studios-021

Nylon-Magazine-Pier-59-Studios-031

Nylon-Magazine-Pier-59-Studios-041

If I saw any of these girls in these outfits I would totally do a double take.

They all have a crazy eclectic but composed sense of style no?

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?

and this isn’t even all the ads that D&G published in 2010.

I mean, what do you all think?

are they glamorizing wives in a way that seems fake?

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.

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

article-2322405-19B52BE3000005DC-825_634x794

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

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

pressing pause for a second, please appreciate those cutouts!

and a pinch of sass as a bonus

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

am I wrong?

commanding presence indeed.

we love ya lucy!

Memorable Monday: Karlie Kloss / Miss Vogue

This week we are featuring one of today’s household top model names, Karlie Kloss. Kloss was scouted early and has risen to the top alongside supermodels. Today’s feature deemed ‘Miss Vogue’ captured exactly why Kloss has become such a hit. Her dynamic energy, sharp piercing eyes, and captivating stature is evident.

A supermodel and rightfully so. She was also a part of our International Women’s Day post earlier in March and here Kloss is again marching all over our pages. Because that’s what supermodels do! You just can’t get enough of them.
