Coachella, the music festival, ended last weekend and with it we are left with some of the freest, hippy minded styles of the year. A festival worth seeing only for the clothes, although they told me the music is actually pretty good too.
This all-neon style is perfectly composed, even the hair goes with it. I love how it fits her, not a lot of people could pull that off.
There is something very intriguing and magical about the Asian culture and Fashion. On the past years they have developed this love for Western fashion standards and adopted into their own culture, creating a new way of Fashion that looks almost all the time #Weird and still works.

48 designers from 17 different countries participated in the challange that Rivalation proposed back in September where Fashion Students from all around the world were asked to design a dress for Mother Monster to wear to the Funeral of a friend. The kick of the competition was to figure out how to balance the delicacy of a funeral with Gaga’s outrageous fashion sense.
“The Devil’s Widow” by Celene Bridge from Curtin University won 2nd prize.
“Celine’s design deserves credit for its simplicity. It is a great use of materials and originality” - commented the jury of the competition - ”The juxtaposition of sheerness and repetitive details play off each other superbly.”
Lady Gaga:Dress for a Funeral Competition.
I had a small obsession with this editorial from the moment I saw it. The pictures are colorful and technically perfect and the clothes are top Fashion with metallic fabrics, colorful patterns and psychedelic textures. But what kept me hang on the pictures were the models. It’s difficult to get so much “fake” passion and casual touching on a 5s frame and they did a great job. Just for that this Bullet mag editorial got a #Sexy badge.

Law of Nature by Medi Calevina and Grendy Jelius from Raffles Institute won 1st prize.
“Medi and Grendy did an outstanding job of combining Gaga’s style with the conservative restrictions of a funeral ” – commented the jury of the competition - “From a technical point-of-view, they gave a ton of attention to the details of their design; they were very clear about the garments, the colors, and even the specifics of how the dress falls and interchanges.”

Enter Luly Yang. A passionately creative designer from a long line of artists – mainly engineers and architects, Luly being one of the latter for 10 years, with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the University of Washington and a daily grind that was highly visual but not so “fashion.”
In 1999, the dress that put Yang on the fashion map and the dress that she is most well known for, The Monarch dress was conceptualized and created. Luly Yang: The Business soon followed.

For adventurous and conceptual men that loves the word dare Vibskov bring a bit of fantasy in their everyday lives.
#Sexy Copenhagen Fashion Week!
Fierce, leather-clad models stood atop pool-side pedestals last Friday showcasing Skingraft’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.
The private viewing, held at a swanky Sunset Boulevard hotel, featured a largely monochromatic color palette accented with a touch of Satanic red. Knee-high gladiator heels and flats were near ubiquitous and perforated leather, futuristic shoulders and biker jackets were notable highlights.
Photographer Tommy Ton shot some street style around the 2013 Spring shows. This skirt with the simple t-shirt and the hat is just incredibly perfect! #SEXY badge right away!
Here are just a few of my favorites: Street Style Fashion Week!
The current Jewellery Box collection from Murua features many of the dramatic design pieces that Murua do so well, and which can easily form the focus of an outfit, if not wardrobe.
While graphic t-shirts, oversized outers and tight trousers continue to sell well in stores, making their way down the down catwalk came a rather darker. Always with an eye on the international blogging community, Murua have responded in kind with a collection that is sure to win fans worldwide.
More runway style from Japan Fashion Week here.
During Japan Fashion Week we saw some incredible designs, yet nothing as “wild” as the spring RTW 2013 collection of Ne-Net.
Were plenty of knit sweaters with contrasting hems, sleeves and plackets created monsters masks for the models. Varsity sweatshirts were juxtaposed with flowing chiffon, and cute animal faces adorned the heels of suede pumps.
It is easy to forget in the midst of Fashion Week as Anrealage rolls out exoskeletons that wouldn’t fare all that well on the Yamanote line, that by and large Japanese designers tend to produce shows that don’t include anything (even for the purposes of styling) that won’t hit retail.
This is amplified multiple times over in the case of menswear and even more so in the case Yoshida Roberto’s brand Headl_iner whose rock theme collections never stray far from the street fashion script. His personal love of motorcycles, roots in Okinawa and taste in music give his work direction, but by and large his goal is to give men the real clothes they want and can wear from Aoyama to Kabukicho.
