Bruce Weber Short Film for YSL Menswear

January 22, 2010

Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing, a Bruce Weber Short Film for Stefano Pilati for YSL Menswear  Fall/Winter 2010-11

'Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing' when Bruce Weber melds with Bunny Yeager on film

"If you don't want to be nude, wear a suit" is what Bruce Weber originally wanted to call his short film.

Sometimes I feel as if I need to explain my references. I am sure there are souls who are not familiar with Bruce Weber's brillaint work.

Presently, he is the the most commercially known for his Abercrombie & Fitch photographs. Back in the day, it was for his Calvin Klein Underwear ads.

If you were a male model in the 80's and had a portrait by Bruce Weber in your portfolio, you instantly skyrocketed to having a certain covetable cache that made you the envy of all the other boys on the set. A modern, uneffected sensuality remains in his photographs which is impossible to duplicate, although many photographers have tried.

A couple of decades earlier, Bunny Yeager was first a model and then known for her glamour photographs. Her most iconic model is Bettie Page. Both photographers share a certain naturalness in their work. Specifically their nudes.

It or Miss? Rhianna Two-tone hair color and button earrings

January 18, 2010

Rihanna at the 2010 NBA - Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers

Blonde? Brunette? Dual Tone? You decide Rihanna's hair color.

We actually don't mind a bit of edge with dramatically different two-tone hair colors, like platinum blonde and jet black.

Rihanna's half brassy blonde, half brunette number doesn't seem to carry that much style impact for us.

Rihanna is continuing her infatuation with the eighties with this hairstyle, but we really didn't love it then and sure don't love it now.

However, we are rather interested in her button earrings, another eighties, throwback that we do approve of, especially with the combination of a crisp white shirt.

Shopping burns calories, what’s not to love?

I think we have all broken a sweat from the rush of an amazing find, but we are professional shoppers from the day we were old enough to walk into a store.

Now, there’s proof that shopping is a sport, well so to speak.

There’s a new study that proves that our “black belt” shopping may have a fitness perk as well.

Yes, I think I'm Parisian Chic. Maybe!

January 14, 2010

Still compiled from H&M Parisian chic video

Paris street style tips on H&M video

Some things in Paris are almost a given, a rite of passage if you will.

There's that tentative yet boldy self-confident attitude. Polar opposites that when they come together, with a cute accent thrown in, are oh soooo French.

Then's there's the love for simple, yet classic pieces, with something bold thrown in to pop.

The attitude and the style are almost the same, no? Yes, of course they are!

H&M is beginning a style video series and the 'Parisian Chic' street style is the 2nd to roll out today. We think it's very worthwhile to watch and captures the je ne sais quoi of young French style that is a simple, yet timeless recipe for easy chic.
