_Exterior
_Just because of the fact I'm currently doing some work with 'The World of Interiors' Magazine, I thought I'd post some lovely exteriors, as well as interiors (see above)

_Ritual
_I found a file of ritual imagery on my hard drive the other night, collected for a job I worked on for AW08 Luella, and thought I'd blog some of the incredible imagery, as well as some other lovely bits of paganism/spiritual imagery I've found.
_Birthday Gift . . .
_Its my birthday in 3 weeks, and the only thing I want is this - A Golden Monkey from Asia.
Possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and seriously, to the people who know me - Imagine this on my shoulder / popping out of my Raf-pack all the time - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
_Simply Beautiful
_Christy Turlington shot by Patrick Demarchelier for Harper's Bazaar in 1993.
Light, yet dark,
Delicate, yet strong
Completely soothing, yet slighlty unsettling.
_I wanna take six weeks and do this trip!
_The Selby - Totally jealous
"Here are some of my favorite images from the work I have been doing for Nike 6.0 the past few months. I traveled to Tahiti, Georgia, Florida, NJ and Brooklyn to shoot some of Nike 6.0's top athletes in their environments. My photos, watercolor paintings, videos and written question and answers are being used on Nike 6.0's ad campaign as well as on the Nike 6.0 website. This project has been so much fun to work on! Thanks Nike! "
I die.

_RBPMstudio Preview: The Website
_Yep, its currently under construction, and cant wait for it to go up.
_Bathtime
_For those of you who know me, you'll be aware of the size/length of my hair (28" and counting). Well, I just washed out all my straight hair for my natural curl. I then found this image of Axl and Slash, and it pretty much sums up my before and after look.
_Borneo
_This image by fashion based photographer Matt Irwin makes me crave the jungle.
And heading back to the mountain jungles of Asia.
_Warm Butter
_This image makes me crave lots of mustard yellow, feathers, piles of beads and, of course, oiled black skin ;)
_A New season and New Issues a plenty . . .
_Rob Pattinson for Another man, looking amazing. And the Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick for a strangely 90's looking AH+, it does however look to be a promising issue, with 25 years of Buffalo, 15 years of Raf, Keith Haring, Juergen and Nenah, plus 'Tough Boy' Vs. 'Nancy Boy' Fashion.
_Gareth SS10
_I hate to admit this, but, its lovely, its grown up, its dark, its apocolptic, (its maybe slightly taken Rick), but non the less, it feels forward thinking and I want SO much of it.
"PARIS, September 30, 2009
By Tim Blanks
Backstage, after a show that emphasized a diaphanous, romantic mood, Gareth Pugh admitted he'd been nervous about moving so far away from the hard-edged, super-structured looks that earned him his rung on the fashion ladder. Well, his nerves were needless, because this collection marked a very necessary widening of Pugh's fashion vocabulary.
If, once upon a time (the fairy-tale connotations are unavoidable), a Pugh show was all about the Beast, this time the focus was on Beauty. But she was eerie, a postapocalyptic princess. The first outfit—an unstructured trench belted over a floating chiffon dress in tone-on-tone shades of gray—set the mood, along with wrapped heads, makeup that shaded the models' faces as though they'd walked through an ash cloud, and a Matthew Stone soundtrack that featured a stentorian interpretation of the theme from Requiem for a Dream (required listening for all aficionados of glamorous doom). Pugh's experimentation with fabrics was as obsessive as ever, with feather-light tops, dresses, and pants that were micro-pleated or woven or slashed in crepe or chiffon. But the effect was a kind of moon-glow lightness, rather than the alien articulation his clothes once relied on. And when there was extreme structure, it was effectively used, as in lapels that unfurl the more they are unzipped on a cape-backed dress.
The designer mixed womenswear and menswear in his show. His men's clothes were significantly more restrictive (as in corseted) than his women's. Given a front row that embraced Rihanna, Michael Stipe, Terence Koh, and Adrian Grenier from Entourage, Pugh is perhaps a better student of human nature than we appreciate."

_Trashed Liza Mismatch
_Spiky haired, and sparkly-suited, Liza Minnelli is an unlikely fashion icon—but really, what's not to love? Her penchant for drama (both on-screen and off) injected her outfits with that theatrical playfulness that's so hard to find in serious-fashion-land. Channeling the Broadway broad in a Vogue Paris editorial shot by Bruce Weber, Sasha Pivovarova belts it out in a printed blouse, lets her girls hang loose in a camel cape and manages her glamorous appointments in an equally glamorous striped turban (Hey Sasha baby, let us tag along to lunch with Andy?). As for the rest of the cast of musical gadabouts, histrionic behavior seems to be par for the course at the Fosse office—but hey, as long as beer and feather boas are part of the grind, sign us up for casting calls, too!
