Graffi-Couture

Featured in the November issue of Vogue Paris, photographed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by the "so effortlessly stylish it hurts", Emmanuelle Alt (such a fan!), the Graffi-Couture editorial is a visual pleasure!  Dig the juxtoposition of a classic beauty, like Zimmerman, clothed in bold futuristic pieces, against layers of graphic graffiti. 

Love this last shot!  I'm so over blond starlets straight up imitating Marilyn - same here, same make-up, same poses.  Not an ounce of originality. But this shot channels Monroe's sensuality and grace, with a fresh, modern take and I think its beautiful.

denim : leather :: pb:j

PB&J, oreos & milk, jeans & a tee...classic combinations that have withstood the test of time. Think its about time to add denim & leather to that list. From the rugged Western days of ruddy denim shirts and leather chaps, to today's modern spin-a fitted denim button down and ultra-sexy leather skinnys-its a mix that is simulatneously traditional, edgy, and fuckin fantastic.

Case in point, this insane Alexander Wang moto jacket:

I'll be holding out for Volcom's version, at $80, though because...you know, I still need to eat.

Beautifully Grotesque

As promised, here is the first installment of a little style series inspired by memorable Johnny Depp roles. Depp is known for his edgy nonchalance, his intriguing, dark beauty...his unassuming swagger. Whether its a curious boy with scissors for hands, a swashbuckling pirate, or an overzealous candy factory owner, Depp manages to bring humanity, charm, and style to every character.

So, what better way to start off the official Halloween season (which I'm totally stoked about, by the way) than with the movie that inspired this style series...

Depp's Sweeney Todd look is old England meets rock'n'roll...as only Burton and Depp could do it. The denim/leather combo is spot on for Fall 09, as are the lace-up boots. In the film, Todd also wears this incredible denim waterfall jacket I can't stop thinking about. I guess the quest begins for my Sweeney Todd jacket...

September's finally here! And although the 80 degree weather may say otherwise, we are officially into the Fall season.
