Americans do know it all, do it all, have it all, sing it all! O demonstreaza inca o data acest duo electro pop, format din Caroline Polachek si Patrick Wimberley si care impreuna inseamna Chairlift. Au debutat in 2005, au trei albume in spate, iar unul dintre cele mai cunoscute single-uri ale lor ramane “Bruises”, a carui notorietate se datoreaza si faptului ca fost folosit ca soundtrack in reclama de lansare a celei de-a patra generatie de iPod Nano, in 2008. Azi, insa, ne place mult, mult, mult de tot…Take It Out On Me, de pe cel mai recent album al lor, Something. Forget forgiveness, forget all the rules…
Take It Out On Me
January 28th, 2012TRASH TOTAL DEMENTIA!!
January 28th, 2012 
Let the beast out!!! If it’s the last Saturday in January, it’s TRASH anniversary! TWO years! 2 fucking years since the pure madness started!
Be an animal! Push yourself to the extremes! Have no boundaries! We’re lifting up all the fashion barriers! Rip off your clothes, create your own character, mix colors as nothing will be too weird! Get yourself ready to be shocked, as we promise you’ve never seen anything like this before!!!
Time to Disco!
January 26th, 2012Let’s go back to the sparkling, decadent and fascinating Studio 54! Let’s go back to Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger and Grace Jones and Jerry Hall and Liza Minelli and Diana Vreeland and Salvador Dali! Let’s live those times that marked the history, the fashion, the lifestyle, the music and cinema and culture from the late 70′s until the early 90′s!
Let’s relive the effervescent Disco era and dance the night away to the most exhilarating tunes of the 80′s! Let’s make a night that would make the Studio’s party crowd proud! Put on the shiny shoes, the sequin blazer, the golden dress or the neon leggings! Add some animal print, go for wide leg jumpsuits, glossy textures or just a white, feminine, ample 70′s dress. Show it up, cover it up, do it as you please! After all, this is the Scandalous Studio 54!
Have opulent make-up and provocative nails, wear oversize bijoux and get THE hair! Somehow, the 70′s and the 80′s were all about the hair! Big, messy, powerful! Just like their crazy decades. So let’s disco and say no more!
TOM FORD – Inside the Creative Mind
January 25th, 2012Tom Ford nu vorbeste prea des cu presa. Iar cand o face, o face controlat si ca parte din strategia globala de comunicare a brandului. Lui Tom Ford nu ii place sa se faca mai vizibil decat considera ca ar fi necesar. Iar cand o face, stie cat, cum, unde si de ce. Lui Tom Ford nu ii plac aparitiile gratuite si tiradele nesfarsite despre o moda care si-a pierdut si-asa mult, mult prea mult din aura de mister care o facea cu atat mai incitanta in vremurile sale de glorie. Tom Ford a acordat cateva interviuri in momentul lansarii primei colectii feminine ce-i poarta numele, insa asta nu a schimbat deloc directia de marketing si comunicare, in care discretia, secretizarea si, de ce sa nu recunoastem, o anumita aroganta au fost principalele calauze.
Sa nu ne facem, asadar, iluzii ca Tom Ford ne-a deschis larg portile sufletului odata cu documentarul de mai jos. Dar ne-a deschis o poarta pentru a-l intelege mai bine. In ciuda controverselor nascute deja vizavi de “scenarizarea” exagerata, de tonul emfatic, de nestudiatul atat de studiat. Hey guys! This is Tom Ford. And mark these words: Tom Ford nu face nimic intamplator sau negandit in prealabil ca parte dintr-un anume plan. Insa oricare ar fi fost planul de data aceasta, ne inclinam!
Emotional pe alocuri, motivational din multe unghiuri, documentarul “Visionaires – Inside the Creative Mind” te face sa vezi mult dincolo de Tom Ford, de povestea lui, de trecutul lui, de evolutia lui in dulcele stil American Dream, de confesiunile si anxietatile lui. Este un documentar pe care vei vrea sa il revezi mereu. Vei vrea sa-l mai auzi pe Tom Ford spunandu-ti intr-o engleza americana impecabila “perfectionism is something you were born with” sau “this makes me happy. this is what i love to do!” sau “at this point in my life, i don’t want to do anything that’s not fun” sau “what am I about?” sau “NOTHING…NOTHING…lasts!” si sa-ti dea un elan nebun.
Il vei vedea in atelier, ii vei intelege estetica, vei intelege de ce face atatea bai pe zi, vei afla ca nu ii place sa poarte cravata si ca, si el, ca orice american devotat simbolurilor consumeriste, bea Coca Cola. Light. Vei vrea sa-l revezi si vei vrea sa-l citezi. So…Tom Ford, ladies and gents!
Get Karlified!
January 24th, 2012In caz ca va intrebati cum de a fost atata tacere in jurul lui Karl in ultima vreme, iata si explicatia: ni se pregatea ceva. Pe timpuri nesigure de criza si alti factori colaterali, Karl s-a gandit sa lanseze in cadrul site-ului net-a-porter.com un nou label mai…accesibil, Karl by Karl Lagerfeld, cat si un micro-site destinat acestuia, in cadrul celui de mai sus.
Poate ca vestea in sine nu ar trezi atata verva si curiozitate, daca nu ar fi insotita de o campanie febrila, in care fiecare poate adera la o adevarata desfasurare de forte numita Karl’s Kult. Cu alte cuvinte, te inscrii si primesti update-uri despre colectie, poti fi invitat la lansarea acesteia pe 25 ianuarie, dar poti castiga si un weekend la Paris, cu un itinerariu very Karl: stai la hotelul sau preferat, mananci la restaurantul sau preferat, te distrezi in clubul sau preferat. Si pentru ca fascinatia lumii pentru Karl si a lui Karl pentru el insusi nu se putea incheia aici, tot de pe acest site se poate descarca aplicatia “Karlify”, unde nu ai nevoie decat de o poza de-a ta si parul, gulerul si ochelarii lui Karl. Preferata lui Karl va castiga un premiu de 1000 de lire pe care ii va putea cheltui pe net-a-porter.
Ah, da, colectia! Monocroma, metalizata, fuste plisate, biker jackets, sacouri structurate, fiecare completate de istoricul guler, care face mandria si declaratia de stil a designerului german. Go Karl!

Free People ♥ USA
January 23rd, 2012Hey Free People everywhere, we’ve got something going on! Labelul Free People a pregatit pentru luna ianuarie un lookbook uber cool! Piesele-statement ale noii colectii se regasesc intr-un editorial dominat de atmosfera boema a anilor ’70 si de acele picaturi de moda vintage care fac mandria filosofiei lor.
Protagoniste sunt cele doua modele Jessica Hart si Karlie Kloss, una intrupand relaxarea LA-ului, iar cealalta poezia urbana a neobositului New York, intr-o americaniada in imagini absolut fabuloasa! See it for yourself!
Voodoo Ray
January 21st, 2012Cand nu stii cam care ar fi numele de scena perfect sau cand vrei pur si simplu sa iesi din rand, recurgi la cele mai banale, dar si la cele mai neasteptate artificii la care cineva s-ar gandi vreodata. Gen. Masculin? Bifat. Nume. Gerald? Bifat. Ok…so then you’re…A Guy Called Gerlad. And this is how you shall be mentioned and remembered. Ceea ce s-a si intamplat. Gerald Simpson este producator si muzician, recunoscut in special pentru ispravile sale pe scena muzicii acid house, spre sfarstiul anilor ’90. Pana in zilele noastre, lumea si-l aminteste cu si datorita piesei “Voodoo Ray”, lansata in 1988 si tot cantata si remixata in mod inepuizabil. Playing now..!

Dress Like a Nomad, Act Like a Nomad!
January 19th, 2012They walk the earth and travel the world, they’re in places one has never even dreamed of and explored cultures, people, habits and ways of lives. They’re nomads living the lives of many but most of all, their own, and it’s a damn perfect one!
Watching them throughout different fashion moments, it seems they have always been a constant haunting presence for designers and houses such as Gaultier, Galliano, Kenzo, Wunderkind, Junya Watanabe, Rei Kawakubo. Others, such as Missoni, have built a whole brand and philosophy around them. Nomads are there in the fall, there during spring, in winter and in summer and never fail to feed our hearts with dreams of random breakaways.
So tomorrow night, let’s venture to be as nomad as our imagination will allow us to be! Let’s enjoy the best of all cultures and mix the most unexpected pieces, let’s wear ethnic patterns with heavy furs and massive bangles. Let’s have an arty hairstyle and an almost warrior look in our eyes. Don’t be afraid to combine! Patterns, textures, colors, accessories…Nomads lived spontaneously and they looked great! Wear a mini-purse as necklace, be gipsy, Russian, Mexican and Eskimo all in one and all at once! Let’s engage on faraway lands and keep one thing in mind: once a nomad, always a nomad!
