Popular brand Lacoste works my nerves. I can’t stand overly saturated brands (like Polo Ralph Lauren) and everyone’s uncanny desire to purchase their clothes–wanting quantity instead of individualistic quality. But I must say, the lookbook for Lacoste Red goes in. The vivid colors are used brilliantly and dare I say there are a few articles I am interested in.

Tom Ford is my favorite designer. The tailoring of his suits are impeccable, the style of his eye-wear is sickening and the refreshingly appropriate sleaze of his ads is intriguing. His designs command sophistication, sex appeal, and attention. Enter the world of Tom Ford.

Thought: Is there a year that goes by without an homage to Audrey Hepburn?

Quick answer: Nope!

-•-

Creative director of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, has decided to take a dip into photography. He’s called upon British singer, Lily Allen, to evoke the charismatic style and elegance of the idolized Audrey Hepburn for Chanel’s newest campaign for their handbags. The question remains if Karl pulled it off as a photographer and if Lily pulled it off as Audrey…….

I’d say yeah.

Often called ‘The most famous non-famous photographer in the world’, Tony Duran’s photography is captivating, edgy, and unmistakably unique. He has shot countless of celebrity portraits (his one with Jennifer Lopez is said to have launched his career), done several fashion spreads (including Yves Saint Laurent) and magazine covers, and is inspiration to young photographers everywhere. His work is truly inspirational.

I need to step my game up.
