We have never denied to be fashion-photo-junkies. In fact, tell us where there's a used bookstore or flea market and we are there rummaging and searching for old photography books and fashion mags. Today we're remembering Guy Bourdin whom we absolutely love. Guy was the first photographer of the 70s and 80s to create a complex narrative, then capture a moment — sensual, provocative, shocking, exotic, surrealistic, sometimes sinister — and simply associate it with a fashion item. The narratives were strange and mysterious, sometimes full of violence, sexuality, and surrealism. Even though he was much less well known to the public than his colleague Helmut Newton, Bourdin possibly has been more influential on the younger generations of fashion photographers. Just take a look at these amazing pics! xoxo

ART Contempo.
Contemporary LA
For those of you who couldn't make it this January to the annual Art Los Angeles Contemporary show we selected a few works to show you we thought were noteworthy. One of our fave pieces shown was the Broze Enameled Hermes Shopping Bag! Galleries from all over the country were there showcasing the best of their very best. Luckily we were in town and decided to take the trip and experience the expo with some great people watching just for good measure. xo

Fashions Week Out
Amy Wow!
We are so excited and ready for Fashion Week! We are pretty much all over the board when it comes to designers we like. So instead of writing about the conventional ones we took note on Amy Yao, a new designer we checked out. Amy Yao’s 25-piece collection of clothing and jewelry was shown in a special public performance at the JF & Son storefront on University Place in New York. Highlights include the multicolored and monotone sequined bodysuits; “YYSL,” a transparent dress with a skirt of synthetic hair; and “Neck Beard,” a necklace made from lime green-colored synthetic hair. Yao considers each piece a work of art, “activated by the presence of someone wearing them, so the consumer becomes the performer without knowing it”. Here are some images of those garments. ENJOY! xoxo
