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 this photo shoot by Karolos Papazacharias he used makeup as art and Ioannis as a canvas were to freely paint anything that came to mind. And the combination of Ioannis, the makeup and the colorful lights make these portraits beautiful. And #Sexy.

Genki! This month, Dazed & Confused is guest-edited by MUGLER main man, Nicola Formichetti. 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
French makeup artist Violette has quickly made a name for herself in the industry with her signature play on textures. Though she never had any formal beauty training, she started developing her recognizable, painterly style at a very young age while studying art at the École du Louvre. Now, however, she uses famous faces like those of actresses Demi Moore and Eva Mendes as her blank canvas.

The most awaited show at Copenhagen Fashion Week is that of Henrik Vibskov eclectic designer that always suprise us by creating for the collection S/S 13 a futuristic installation that recalls Burton’s scenarios, bordering reality and the more shadowy man ‘s side. A big giant pink tongue is the host on the catwalk with nearly human creatures that try to to free themselves who knows from what thoughts and compulsions, perhaps those of humans, to enjoy otherworldly pleasures.
Behold, the weirdest hair clip in the universe.
Created by Stockholm-based studio “Humans Since 1982” it’s a simple hair clip that creates a visual similarity to a niqab veil. They’ve created an edition of 50 pieces so you, too, can totally freak people out.
