Air Supply by Steven Klein - Vogue Italia
Seriously. As if we have not heard enough about H1N1 to make any sane person want to crawl under a rock. Is it just me or has the media blown this to situation to preposterous proportions? My office is in a state of lock down. Sani-wipes, hand-sanitiser and paranoia are all now as commonplace as Alexander Wang. I thought that fashion was the last bastion - but trust Steven Klein to find inspiration in such a sick topic? (Bad joke). Mind you - he has also been know to be inspired by rehab. Hmm.

The Glossy Recommends...
Magazine love is a fickle thing. If you are anything like me - you are probably always on a somewhat endless quest for the perfect fashion mag. And yes, as soon as you think you may have found one - the editor leaves or the mag folds or the content goes to shit.
Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select ony things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authnticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to." Jim Jarmusch

Desperately Seeking...
... enough jewelry to make a pirate jealous. Love this shoot from a past edition of Paris Vogue. It features Vogueite Lauren Santo Domingo. And while she's clearly a stunning creature - I usually like it a little more downtown? But her skull boyfriend and silvery bounty make up for the missing edge. Argh.

Fashion Week Favorite
Sure you might say there's no challenge in dressing when the sky's the limit... but honestly there's too many examples au contraire to list, that you have to give Vanessa Traina a little credit. She looks more comfortable in Givenchy than most people in H&M. And for that she's a Fashion Week Favorite.

Art and Commerce
In one of the more intelligent editorials I've seen in awhile - Freja and Raquel star in this epic photo novel for W Magazine. Shot by Inez and Vinoodh at both the famed Centre Pompidou in Paris and Moma in NY - art history buffs will recognize some of the featured sculptures and artworks (scratching me head thinking back to Art History...hmm). Freja meanwhile seems to be "commerce" and Raquel more the "art"? Love also how Freja disappears and reappears like some kind of Where's Waldo joke throughout. And the clothes? Jeez. Enough Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and YSL to sink anyones personal commerce.

La Garçonne
Current mood: La Garçonne. It's all about the boys. Fantastic femmes like Sophia Coppola and Charlotte Gainsbourg do it best. But of course it was done first by the likes of Katherine Hepburn, Greta Garbo and Bianca Jagger. What you need - impeccably tailored jackets, slouchy pants, paired up with a micro-thin t-shirt. Nothing can be too polished. Whole look needs to be slightly undone.

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Lovelies! I've packed my bags (stuffed is a better description) and I'm heading to Paris and London for the next 2 weeks. Blogging will be sporadic at best. But if you have London Fash Week hook-ups.... I wanna hear from you! Bis, The Glossy Ed. xx

"Imagine Carine Roitfeld seen through the lens of Helmut Newton and you're somewhere close to Hannah Marshall's version of contemporary dressing."

Danny Roberts - Illustrator? Blogger?
Equally well know for his modelizer portraits as he is for his series of uber-blogger portraits - (cue images the blogettes: Susie Bubble, Sea of Shoes, Fashion Toast, etc). Danny Roberts, aka Igor and Andre is the blogging illustrator to the blogger-stars. And for those of you that are blogaholics (no need to hide) - I'm sure this isn't new news? I'm sharing in part because a) not everyone is a blogaholic b) it's only a matter of time before he's illustrating the cover of Pop! Seriously. Oh ya - he's done a highly covetable t-shirt too!
