Welcome to the colourful world of the Tokyo girl

Bold colours, audacious accessories and outrageous hair and makeup culminate in this photoshoot to make it a truly one of a kind fashion experience. Not often dared or worn in the west, we see how the fashionable knowledge and creativity comes together to generate something that is quite out of this world. This feast for the eyes is an inflow of bright colours, eccentric prints,…

10 absurd fashion statements we’re happy never became trends

While it’s true that we all share a certain connection with the past and we have the good old days to thank for some of our all-time favourite fashion trends, think ultra-short mod dresses, Letterman jackets, peter pan collars and cat eye sunglasses, fashion as we know it today would have been a totally different story had any of the following fashion statements emerged into…

A 1920s coat of Titanic proportions

Fashion in the 1920s rebelled much against what came before. It was more daring, more flippant, more modern. In fact you could easily imagine this steam-ship print coat being worn on the street (particularly during fashion week) today. This photo is of actress Peaches Browning, taken in 1926.

A bold and beguiling beauty in summer’s latest display

With the aspiring season of warmth moving into the northern hemisphere’s midst it is time to peel away the layering style of colder times and settle into something a little more vibrant. With winter declaring its dominance so persistently in the last few months it almost seems inconsequential not to celebrate the skinlessness and brilliance that comes with summer clothing.

Fabric, ink & the naked body: what do you see in this Rorschach test?

The way ink swirls through water like trails of cigarette smoke through the air makes for a visually captivating image. Like tea leaves or clouds or the splodges of paint in a Rorschach test, the swirls take on whatever meaning we give to them: an inky octopus, a tree spreading it’s branches like fingers, a ghost floating through time. Maybe a cloud of ink is…

Seeing double: a mirage in 3D

Michael David Adams‘ Mirage is less the kind you see in a heat-stricken desert delirium, and more the kind that’ll have you reaching for the 3D glasses you stole from the movies. Models Ieva and Aida Aniulyte similarly have you questioning whether you’re seeing double; and you are, in a sense, the sisters leaping from the screen in their identical pristine-featured beauty looks. Along with…

From boaters to caps: the best women’s hats for spring

What would the spring season be without a hat to fully stand for its energizing qualities and its modernistic trends? If we’re sure of one thing this season, is that hats, represented by a full spectrum of appealing styles, are going to be huge for spring. The runways gave us a glimpse of what was to come and now, as the weather finally got warmer,…

Strict lines & stark times

Strict Lines & Stark Times: the title says much, but not quite all, when it comes to Michael David Adams’ latest shoot. Indeed there’s a clean minimal feel to the sparse white backdrop, block colours and slightly architectural cuts, but Don West’s styling also brings in some more intricate black and white prints, some pops of vibrant colour and some fluidity of fabrics. Featuring the…
