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-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?

today we are posting about all the cool, calm, and collected all black outfits Taylor Swift effortlessly pulls of from the sidewalks to the stage to the red carpet.

Swift does an amazing job of not making all black outfits too serious or jarring. Don’t believe a word when people say all black is depressing!

But it doesn’t mean Swift doesn’t know how to make herself look like the real deal

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.

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!)
