IDOL MAGAZINE - THE FUTURE ISSUE

“The Future Issue” (their second issue), featuring Jonas Kloch & Ruby Slate Balthazar, photographed by Jessica Klingelfuss and styled by Gabrielle Stival.
Their vision: IDOL is not just a name, IDOL is an attitude, a way of seeing the world without fame-tinted glasses. Born from an adoration of relentless ambition and the ‘go getter’ generation, we seek to bring truly inspirational people to light and give them the recognition they deserve.
I personally think this is one of the best new fashion magazines. They have unique perceptions of the fashion and especially in this issue 'the Future'. Check it out some of their editorials after this.

V MAGAZINE'S BLACK AND WHITE BALL

As Fashion Week drew to a close last month, the A-list of the industry gathered last night for V Magazine‘s Black and White ball. Guests partied at the top of the Standard Hotel, many dressed in the evening’s thematic color scheme. Carine Roitfeld, Theophilus London, Alexander Wang,Prabal Gurung, Linda Evangelista, Cynthia Rowley, Joseph Altuzarra, Lindsay Lohan, Lindsey Wixson, Karlie Kloss. In addition to Sky Ferriera singing "If You Could Read My Mind" and the cast of Priscilla - Queen of the Dessert performing, DJs Lady Bunny and Sebastien Perrin kept the crowd dancing to Beyonce throughout the night. I think this was the highlight party for New York Fashion Week! Wow!

LADY GAGA'S MONSTER BALL - NICK KNIGHT - RUTH HOGBEN

As part of her Monster Ball world tour, Lady Gaga with Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben created a number of films to use as part of her on-stage performance and as interludes in the epic show. Building film into the architectonic feeling of the Monster Ball tour, these four films explore notions of fame, iconicism and life in an evolving metropolis. These are the 3 videos i like most from this series: Poker face, The city and Pawns up!

BALMAIN SPRING SUMMER 2012

Very Chic/Rock & Roll coming from the historic brand of Balmain. Olivier Rousteing (previously spent several years working for Roberto Cavalli) is given the chance to show off exactly why he was named creative director at the tender age of 26. Heading in the right direction, he will be able to leave his stamp on the brand without destroying what was once done by Christophe Decarnin. As some of you know, the sad disappearance of Christophe Decarnin for "health" reasons from the top job at Balmain earlier this year was, unsurprisingly, almost-entirely overshadowed by the deeply unhealthy demise of John Galliano at Dior. Love: buttock-skimming minis, suggestive zips, big shoulders, and jackets with more studded, pearlescent embellishment than a potentate's palace. Hands up for this new designer.

MUST HAVE FOR WINTER: DUFFLE COAT

The duffle coats continuing resurgence was there for all to see on the autumn/winter 2011 runways. It was endorsed on the catwalks by the likes of Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Paul Smith, Acne and Balmain – quite a list of premium fashion houses.

BALENCIAGA SPRING SUMMER 2012

For the shapes, colors, prints and outside the box thinking, I love Balenciaga’s spring 2012 collection. Nicolas Ghesquière’s collection offered a master class in proportions, color, textile innovation, and the judicious use of print. The show will surely be unforgettable, not only because of the amazing collection of Nicolas Ghesquière, but also because of the bench accident which happened at the beginning of the show. Love: sporty looking track shorts and a chic new jean that was belted high on the waist and pleated for a fuller shape, also the idea of “architecture floating” with boxy jackets pieced from geometric shapes and segments of stiff 1960s haute couture fabrics. And the music was perfect for the show (Forever Dolphin Love - Erol Alkan).
