Innocence Lost

November 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I’m unsure as to what these are for. But I want every item (except the chick) in these photos including the boy and the gun.
Hm, where would I put a sprawled robot?

Speaking of saying goodbye to innocence:

How does a dancer gain this much weight? He really let himself go. I mean, I’d still hit it but only to be in In Touch to talk about it. His disgusting, pasty white belly hitting me with every pump.

With Letterman, Oprah’s continual drug and booze problems and fucking Kate Hudson at the World Series, I haven’t seen much of Brit’s kids on the front cover. It’s like they disappeared. Maybe K Fed ate them.

People In Need

I thought these ads by a non-profit were pretty clever and incredibly beautiful. Blah blah blah message blah blah blah materialism blah blah blah. consumerism blah blah blah charity.

Look at the amazing colours in the clothes.

Despite the dress having a bit of a Rami draping thing going on, it’s an amazing muted blue and it looks great with that plaid. Very Vivienne Westwood.


And don’t get me started on this amazing pose. The stare, the wrap and the baggy t-shirt. It screams confidence. I’d want this guy guiding me in the bushes and in the village bars.


What a super neat print for a pair of shorts. This should be the new madras. Frat boys will be all over this in 2011.

They’re slightly over-the-top but sophisticated at the same time. Well, I guess that’s the point. Not sure what you readers think about the usage of white guilt to push an organization’s agenda. I wonder how the impact would shift if the ads were executed without the figures. Does white guilt create a more powerful image? Does it make you question your consumption?

Regardless, I think we can agree that they’re much better than this ad:

Check out a similar concept for a music video by Sarah McLachlan.

Bread + slippers = brippers?

I recently saw a picture of these on some site but forgot which one. Maybe the wonderful That’s Hideous? But I didn’t get to investigate any further.

A friend tipped me off to where you can actually get a pair!

Sigh

November 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

What is wrong with humanity? Sometimes I wonder why I write about fashion. Oh right, because it’s vapid and full of shit to make fun of.

I almost threw up when she said “tweak their geek.”

So instead of a cool hipster kid, the groom to be looks like the guy from the Eurythmics. And his best man looks like a lesbian.
Nice suits though.

Suits and Rape

November 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment


I’m not sure what I think about this advertisement for Duncan Quinn’s suits other than the guy isn’t hot enough for me to believe that that chick would be all sprawled out like that for his rape fantasy role playing session.

Just sayin’.

Zhang Xiao

November 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

From Chongqing, China comes this amazing freelancer named Zhang Xiao who documents the Chinese people during a time of great social change.
I find his photographs to be very eerie yet sophisticated. Some of his shots are almost dream-like and I especially love the muddled backgrounds juxtaposed with the colour spots. They’re incredibly powerful images without being too political like other photographers who document Chinese life.

More here.

SAPE

November 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment


So I’ve been following the style of African dandies for oever 10 years now. Working in a refugee program had its sartorial advantages as during our graduations, I got to witness some of those most exquisite and stylish clothes that I’ve ever seen from Sierre Leone, the Congo and Nigeria. I took every opportunity to chat with my clients about their clothing choices when we were on our breaks and a lot of the men I spoke to had the clothes handed down from them. Weaved shoes, Italian leather belts, French suits, antique watches… Often, I’d have to give some interview clothing workshops as I found the men didn’t dress appropriately for a Canadian job interview per se. But once they were on the job, I always encouraged them to throw a little of their own personality into the clothes. Hey, in a dull suit and tie world, what gets you noticed could land you that promotion.

Anyway, I found these amazing SAPE photographs by Francesco Giusti.

You can see the rest here.

Maybe we can do this as a craft with the kids next week. Hm.
God, the internet is an endless cesspool of crap.
