what will i wear today?

Nicholas Kirkwood designed some shoesies for the Keith Haring Foundation. Haring was the 80′s pop artist extraordinaire – you’ll recognise the print instantly.  Kirkwood wanted to incorporate Haring’s graphics into his own shoe designs. I’m not digging it.

Coco Rocha was invited by ElleUK to do a 25-page shoot for it’s 25th birthday. I can honestly say it’s one of the most sexy, evocative, electrifying, want-inducing shoots I’ve seen in years. It’s an hommage to the Jane Fonda movie “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” which is all about a dance marathon held during the [...]

I suppose you could say the A/W 2010 campaigns begin in earnest now and some brands have employed the heavy hitters like Madonna, Christy Turlington and Kate Moss to help hawk their wares. I’m not a big fan of Madonna but I am loving the shots used of her in the D&G campaign.

The title says it all. K I’m not terrible at putting on the aul war paint… But I’m lacking in the skills that give the perfect woosh of eye colour,  the steady hand that sculpts the ultimate liner and that elusive knack of applying layers of slap that stay exactly where they’re applied. Ever hear [...]

*WWIWT has become an international success!! Readers from all over the world have sent us in their photos of ads they have seen of the blog – as the photos prove!! From Japan to the Big Apple,  WWIWT mania has literally exploded – forget Jedward being our countries “proudest” celebrity icons, betcha they dont have a billboard [...]

Can’t. aaah catch, aaaaah my breath! Because I just got off the phone from the Illamasqua counter in BT2 with the details of their Makeup Amnesty. All you need to do is bring one piece of old makeup (any type, lipgloss, shadow, whatever!) to their Grafton Street counter and offer it up. But what do [...]

Sorry to disappoint menfolk everywhere, but I am of the grey and holey underwear persuasion. Generally speaking, 90% of my undies have been turned varying shades of blue and pink in the wash, have no elastication left and are designed for sport and comfort rather than aesthetics. And then when I do buy nice lingerie, [...]

Brian Coldrick is a superfanstic illustrator. I am not. I am a fashion junky. Brian is not. (I think) And by the Beard of Zeus somehow these two realities converged to create one junked up, superfantastic fashion illustration. And when I say ‘converged’, I mean it went like this: ‘Brian, can I pay you to [...]

So Kings of Concrete took place over the weekend and if you wanted a yardstick of how cool Ireland has the potential to be, this was it. Every sort of hip and happenin’ body flocked to the 2-day urban arts festival. I don’t remember the kids being this cool when I was young. There were [...]

The Sartorialist took his inimitable (or all-pervasive?) street-snapping style to Tokyo recently and returned with a bevy of non-Harajuku/Manga/Superhero snaps. Turns out that Harajuku style is not endemic and people like to experiment in more conservative or directional ways too. 

Apologies readers for my lack of blogging recently, am in the process of moving from England to Ireland and by god I didn’t realise the amount of stuff (I say stuff as it really is the most random selection of things) I have accumulated over the year, a lorra lorra packing to be done as Cilla [...]

I love it when two worlds collide, affording you an opportunity to write a flippant, superficial post about a monumental historical discovery. Fashion-lite meets one of the 100 most important objects in the world. This splendiferous gold cape has been featured in the History of the World in 100 objects series, curated by the British [...]

Yo peeps, Aideen here. Freja Beha has been on the scene a while but recently she seems to be bewitching and beguiling the fashion left of centre. Here she is on the cover of last month’s i-D magazine. (I love this cover cos she’s wearing MY CHAIN. Well, ya know, I have one like it. [...]

Just spotted these deliciously dark photographs from female photographer Ellen Rogers. Her aesthetic is brooding and ominous and she recreates a vintage look in her shots using Super8 and layering techniques. The results are heavily textured, surreal narratives – dark, dreamy and refreshing. Some of the shots appear menacing…the witching hour caught on camera, and [...]

I believe it is a widely known fact that I am a jewellery enthusiast. I am also a recycling enthusiast. So imagine my delight when I came across these sodomised Barbie rings and necklaces. Every childhood fascination with decapitating Barbie has been realised in a unique, if slightly deranged, jewellery collection. Designer Margaux Lange has [...]

Some of you may have read about the accusations against renowned photographer Terry Richardson at the weekend. Terry Richardson is the photographer provocateur of the fashion industry. His work pushes acceptable boundaries with brazen suggestive posing and highly sexualised imagery. His work became highly sought after in the 90’s, and he was featured everywhere from [...]

graces deadly design for our new ad for lecool, which if you haven’t got the chance to read yet, here’s the low-down - “le cool is a free weekly magazine featuring a selection of cultural events and leisure activities, revealing what is worthwhile and the things that you really should not miss.” you can check it out [...]

im not sure whats being advertised…im not sure that’s even the point. dark, twisted, chilling and gothic; can’t fathom why but i like. paolo roversi SS10 shoot for Another magazine. its like an perverse fairytale or a boticelli re-imagined for the modern age. someones bringing freaky back.

was thinking about getting a fringe over the past week. totally impractical and unattainable. a frizzy, flyaway bonce replete with cows lick and kiss curls is not conducive to sleek, heavy, rock-chick fringes. i know this in my heart of hearts but it does not stop me yearning for the inimitable cool of the fringe.
