I’m a sucker for DANSK Magazine covers

And this one is perfect in my opinion. It’s a teaser published by Dansk to their next issue cover. The thing with Dansk covers is that you can’t take a 1 second look at them. They are always so interesting and beautiful that I always stare at them for much longer and then again and again.

Dare to be Bold: Dior Homme

(photos: style.com)
Looking at the Spring 2013 Dior Homme runway made me sense some very strict classic rules: It is mostly in light navy blue, a little bit of grey, black and tiny bits of red. It is very tailored, even the most casual pieces in it are super done and elegant. I loved it. AND I loved it 10x more when I saw the video Dior made for it, and not because of the clothes. It is very different, bold, and daring. Completely out of Dior Homme strict elegant rules yet very chic and emphasises the young rebellious Dior Homme man. Watch it here:

The real people on Scott Schuman’s photos


I feel like it’s one thing to admire The Sartorialist photos (we all do) and it’s a whole different thing to know the people he is photographing again and again at different times, events and venues. This video is not only well-edited and beautifully done, it is also very interesting and give a glimpse to these real people, not necessarily in high positions in the fashion industry, yet they are fascinating because of who they are and thanks to their simplicity.

Told you, it’s inspiring and beautiful.

p.s. If you still don’t own The Sartorialist books, I highly recommend them both. I always go back to them for inspiration. You can view and purchase them here through Amazon:
This is the first book –

And this is the second book –

The new Chanel And The Diamond video is fantastic


I had no idea that Gabrielle Chanel designed her only diamonds collection in 1932 and had no clue about her approach to diamonds. This just-launched video by Chanel will glue you to your screen, I promise you, even if you don’t really like diamonds (I don’t and still…):

It’s about Tom Ford, NOT Justin Timberlake

Hands down.

Tom Ford
Even if you are not a big fan of JT, you need to watch this video. Put it on mute for all I care. I mean, how many times in your lives do you get to see the ultimate most perfect suit on a man who, how will I say it, hmm. wears it so well?
Tom Ford made it. Obviously. Watch:

Now, admit it. You danced.

How To: Chanel Couture Gowns. Yeah, how to.

Ever wondered or imagined how much work is involved in the making of one single couture dress?

Ever asked yourself why can’t anyone call their designs “couture” even if they worked really hard on it and it’s really beautiful?

Here is why. This is the real thing, people. Enjoy this inspiring little video by Chanel Couture:

 

That’s perfection. So inspiring!

Balenciaga Spring/Summer 13 Men campaign

First images from the new Balenciaga Spring/Summer 13 Men campaign are out now, and as expected – it’s even prettier than the women’s campaign. With somewhat graphic-Japanese touches, the hidden yet very obvious surprise is in the men’s top: it’s totally floral.

Balenciaga brilliant as always.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find a video of the runway in a good quality. Too bad :(

You can see the collection in photos here, it really is an impecable collection!

The real problem with Celine new ugliest sandals

…Is that they are so ugly that I think I’m in love with them and would live in them the entire summer :-D

I mean, take a good look. And then take another one. I know, it’s really hard at first sight. How was your second and third look? Am I crazy or did you fall in love with them too?
