Here’s another one of Thomas Sing’s amazing shoots!
FLOATING ARCHITECTURE is part of his 2009/2010 portfolio and was taken in an aquarium just 2 hours prior to the actual shoot! He took the opportunity last summer to use it, but only had 2 hours to come up with the concept as the aquarium was usually rented out the under water shows.

We decided to use our Ferre clothes because we thought that it could be a nice effect expressing Ferre’s architectonic designs through movements and figures in the water. The whole set was shot with one model and 5 outfits within not much more than an hour. Just a few shots for each outfit, changing the clothes, back underwater … later we combined two figures for each image digitally.

IT’S ALL ABOUT GETTING LAID AND WASTED
German fashion photographer - Thomas Sing - is currently taking part in a research project at the University of Augsberg about labels, brands, pop/consumer culture and literature, and his photo shoot - IT’S ALL ABOUT GETTING LAID AND WASTED - is a culmination of his work.
His aesthetic here is wonderfully sleek and polished, and translates his theme really well. There’s emotion within the atmosphere of the shoot and it has a voyeur appeal. Just amazing!
Here’s what Sing has to say about IT’S ALL ABOUT GETTING LAID AND WASTED:
(It’s) beautiful, dirty, rich … the model is reading Lolita Pille’s ‘HELL’, a fantastic french story about a Parisian upper-class girl who’s stuck in a cortex of drinking, taking drugs, clubbing, starving, and love (which she loses at the sad end … This book was a big inspiration for that shoot, so I decided to show it on one picture.
It’s a set about high fashion’s close connections between eroticism and death. The number Zero. The sex-appeal of the commodity (->Walter Benjamin).
I wanted these pictures to be sexy, but at a degree on which sexiness is accompanied by the slight but increasing feeling of having to throw up, metaphorically speaking … which is the strongest form of eroticism, I think. And the only one that counts. At least for me.

FAST FADING YOUTH – Rodeo Massacre -
Swedish/French psychedelic rock trio, Rodeo Massacre conjure up the soul and musical spirit of the 1960’s. Their latest release - Heartaches & Wonders - perfectly encapsulates the live show, harnessing the on stage chemistry while also being intricate and interesting enough to warrant repeated listens. As a recent live review in London Tourdates states:
“Their brand of late 60s acid rock feels refreshing in its rich homage to the past. Izzy is a formidable prospect on stage – a cross between Marianne Faithful and Mick Jagger by way of Patti Smith (with all the curious androgyny you’d expect from such a description).”
Having toured France and other areas of Europe extensively, they’ve also been main support for Franz Ferdinand and Dirty Pretty Things. ‘Heartaches and Wonders’ was released by Smoky Carrot Records last October and is available either worldwide via digital download, or a limited number of vinyl will be sold through selected retailers around the UK and Europe as well as direct from www.smokycarrot.com

House of Harlow online @ Miijo.com!
STYLE ICON, NICOLE RICHIE LAUNCHES HER EXCLUSIVE NEW JEWELLERY COLLECTION!
Nicole Richie’s brilliant debut collection follows inspiration from her sought-after style. Layering unexpected combinations of materials and themes, she contrasts feminine mixed with edgy and bold, and modern mixed with native.
Using leather, rivets, gold plated metals and a beautiful palette of colors to decorate the array of pieces, Nicole explores every theme true to the bohemian look; from gypsy to tribal, flower child to edgy street wear.
“I’ve always felt that great accessories are essential in every complete outfit and I wanted to create a collection that was easy to mix and match; to either wear alone as an everyday piece, or stack on to make more of a statement. I love accessories. You can wear the same jeans and T-shirt every day and make it look completely different just by accessorizing.” Nicole Richie.

PVT: Invasion Day 2010
INVASION DAY 2010
Australia day is the day on which the first fleet descended upon Sydney
harbor in 1788. There is a strange idea of ‘patriotism’ connected with this
date (Australia Day), forgetting that for Aboriginal people this signifies
the beginning of an era of Pain, Fear, Confusion and the Beginning of the end
of their way of life and culture (DREAMING).
Making their unique imprint in the Australian fashion scene is Bondi label Pete Versus Toby. Creating not only fun, whitty designs, the label also has a serious side. This range – INVASION DAY – is one which puts the focus on what AUSTRALIA DAY really is:

Sean P Watters Gets Moody With The Boys In Kaiser’s Court
THE BOYS IN KAISER’S COURT is a mood-filled photo shoot by one of New York City’s best kept secrets.
Photographer SEAN P WATTERS work titled - THE BOYS IN KAISER’S COURT - features two upcoming and albeit well known faces on Ford Models board - Isaac Carew (featured in this quarter’s L’Officiel Hommes) and Aiden Andrews (a recent winner of Ford’s Vman competition).
THE BOYS IN KAISER’S COURT illustrates the story about angst, envy and a false sense of self. Stylized via fashion from Cavalli to Jose Duran to Manuel de la Cruz to Marc Jacobs, their world uses fashion to help them find their footing.
“They are luminous as they are tough as they are fragile yet ultimately beautiful.”
Specializing in male fashion photography, Watters style integrates his accomplished background in dance and a heavy influence of iconic women images, breathing air into the life of his provocative images to converse with his audience.
Sean’s work has been featured in Gus Magazine, New York Press, Time Out, and Fantastic Mag, with many of his editorials featuring some of the world’s most recognizable faces, for example Calvin Klein’s Andrew Stetson, TV star Penn Badgley, and sports star of the Philadelphia Phillies – Cole Hamels.
