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.

In a fashion-packed issue, the Italian-Japanese trendsetter focuses on the youth boom of his east Asian homeland. “I feel that there’s been so much attention on Asia in the past couple of years, but nothing out there actually representing the real Asia,” Nicola told our editor Tim Noakes when the team started putting the issue together. “I was born and bred there, so I want to show what’s happening in real time.
What fashion magazine hasn’t done some sort of Warhol-inspired shoot? We don’t know. So when recently-launched Du Jour took on the task of an editorial inspired by Nars’s new Andy Warhol collection, they really had no choice but to do something special. And they delivered.
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.”

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.”

With her multicolor bangs, strange-cool-girl status, and a suite of sold-out weekend shows in New York, the 24-year-old Canadian singer Grimes attracts an audience that prides itself on quirks – both in music and style.
There was the model Hanne Gabe Odile, not only wearing a candy-raver unicorn horn but also swimming goggles and a pink vinyl raincoat for a look that felt like the best offstage take on Grimes’s goth-pop falsetto songs.

Awkward, terrifying, treacherously tall and slightly masochistic are not typically words used to describe footwear. However, from showrooms to runways the industry has seen a trend of museum and editorial-worthy heels. From the use of materials like moss agate, tigers eye, porcelain, and turquoise to the reinterpretation of “heels” altogether with an inverted shin crutch to replace the heel to an eight-inch ballerina pointe shoe. Practical? No. Weird? A bit. Beautiful? Absolutely.
Leanie van der Vyver has gained attention on what she coins “Scary Beautiful” shoes. With a concept of “playing God by physically and metaphorically perfecting themselves” she shows her interpretation of a shoe fit for the perfect human being. The shoe forces the wearer to take on a whole new approach to the concept of walking altogether, with no actual heel, rather a ballet pointe shoe with a front crutch for your shins to rest upon creating a bird-like walk.
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.
All in all, Skingraft’s presentation could probably be best summarized as new-age, athletically-inclined motorcycle fetishism.
Dan Regan, creative director of Black Banditz, lent his high-end dark aesthetic to assist in curating and producing the event. His expertise did not end there, however, as he lent his trained team of hairstylists to work their magic. The girls donned slicked back, extra high ponytails bound with thick black wraps, evoking a bondage barbie feel.
