AMERICAN REBEL
Directed by My-Kel Monroe, the video is comprised of behind-the-scenes footage from Persona’s photo shoot with Amber Rose that retells the story from the film, “This is England”. The film centers on a group of London Skinheads hanging in England during the 1960s. It was a time when this particular subculture didn’t bother with politics and race but more fixated themselves on the unisex fashion, music, and lifestyle-alternate to the popular Mod trend. Deviating from the norm and portraying this rebellious attitude, the Skinheads represented a time of change much like the shaven-headed beauty, Amber Rose. This is a great piece to watch.

BAPTISTE GIABICONI: WORLD #1 MODEL
He is on the cover of Glamoholic Magazine but clearly not so much to cover. Baptiste also wants his fans to dance on his coming up album in September/October. Well, i think we will try. (Hope you know what i mean after his first single a while back: "showtime". I still have a good laugh with my friends over one line of that clip :"what's wrong with you man") By the way, he doesn't drink alcohol and go to clubs? (Maybe his partner got way too jealous if he does?)
Sources close to Lagerfeld disclosed a few details on Baptiste Giabiconi's upcoming wedding details (and he said love was not his priority at the moment?):
* Baptiste will wear a floor-length, one shoulder wedding gown from the Chanel Haute Couture archives and a custom-made, hair gel-resistant veil
* Only 100 of the couple’s closest family and friends will be invited to the ceremony in Vermont, but the event will be live-streamed on SHOWstudio.
* The entire wedding procession will be flown from Vermont to Paris for a reception at the Grand Palais, DJ’d by Chewbacca
* Heidi Mount will be a flower girl.
KISS ME, KATE! - KATE MOSS OFFICIAL WEDDING PHOTOS!
That was the wedding of the year and was the moment the fashion world had been waiting for...
The shots, seen in American Vogue magazine‘s September issue, provide an intimate insight into the July 1 nuptials and Mario Testino, a close friend of Kate’s, has created some of the most beautiful pictures ever seen of the supermodel on her very special day.
The model has revealed that it was in fact the TV documentary My Big Fat Gypsy wedding that made her and Kills rocker Jamie realise that they should tie the know.
She told Vogue: ‘I am so romantic about Gypsies. They’re not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen. You can’t believe the dresses. They’re like blinging butterflies times ten; they can’t move down the aisle! It’s so genius.
‘I was just watching Jamie, so cute, and I was like, these girls, they just spend their whole life waiting for that day—let’s do it!’
By the way, I am so proud of her loyalty when deciding on the most important thing of the wedding: the wedding dress. Ahead of the wedding she told Vogue she wanted: ‘A classic Galliano, those chiffon thirties kind. I’ve lived in his dresses for years, and they just make me feel so comfortable. But it’s so much more couture, couture, couture. Oh, my God, the work that’s going into the dress!’
Kate’s father, thanked the designer for his work on the dress during his speech ‘John’s eyes well up’ as he received a standing ovation.
Last interesting thing: the photo of Naomi Campell is in black and white because she was wearing a flurry of lemon-yellow Givenchy gauze - “Trying to upstage me, bitch?” says Kate, laughing.
And i think Kate 76 (official wedding drink) will be my drink for the weekend. Cheers!!

DAVID GANDY BY MARIANO VIVANCO, THE DOLCE&GABBANA BOOK
David Gandy, born in 1980 in Billericay, Essex, is a British model of Scottish descent, best known for his advert for Dolce & Gabbana's fragrance "Light Blue". In 2009 he was voted the third most successful model in the world by Forbes magazine. It was friends who got him into modeling, by posting his photograph to a "Male Model competition". At the time, he had a job delivering cars to a car magazine – a nice but undemanding gig that ended when he won the contest. He was taken on by Select Model Management, one of the country’s leading agencies, and spent the next five years toiling away in relative obscurity, doing catalogue work.
Mariano Vivanco shares some of his mages of David Gandy taken this Spring in NYC exclusively for the new book David Gandy by Dolce & Gabbana.
"As Fashion and Fashion Imagery are closely related sisters, we all weave through them deciphering fashion moments we can find true, real, even if they are brisk or short lived. With David I have found many of those moments... Thank you." - Mariano Vivanco
