Iekeliene Stange

Iekeliene Stange is a Dutch model slash photographer who's appearance is just out of this world. I don't know many models who can transform like her! How To Spend It magazine also noticed this beauty and shot her for How To Spend It magazine, titled - The Key Looks for Spring. Caught on camera by London based photographer Benjamin Lennox and styled by Damian Foxe

Avant-garde designs, 70's color blocking, ethnic couture, minimal rocker... Everything fits her like a Haute Couture glove. Clean cuts mixed with hand embroidery, pleating and a mix of different fabrics. Let me catch my breath... Inspiring shoot for this Spring!

Superette!

We all love the summer, we all love to wear our skimpy, and mostly bare legs. And with 'we' I mean 'us', the ladies. And when the sun finally touches your lovely I-need-some-sun-and-fast-skin, you call that one always-in-for-a-drink-friend (you know you do!)

And don't we all have the same feeling, when we're sitting there on the terrace, pure happiness and the urge to do something nice for everyone on the face of this planet? No? Well I do. But this happiness disappears the moment you get up, all hot and sweaty and rub your behind and legs... The print of the chair, were you have been sitting on for almost 5 hours, has found a way to scar you for life! Okay, maybe not for life, but still for quite a while, and it this dent has no intention to bounce back anytime soon!

And I think everyone hopes no one will pay attention to the back of your legs? Yes! They do! Men really love that part ladies, the back, from top till bottom.

Superette, an Auckland boutique chain, noticed this (as we all do), and thought it was the perfect way to advertise, and they were right! They put raised backwards printed text on the front of bus stop, mall, and park benches. How lovely... Be careful ladies! Don't park that behind anywhere, you might end up with 'Superette Sale' on your backside. Invasion of the Creep Add this summer!

I'm Stuffed!

No I did not make these! I swear! It was all Diane Koss! Beautiful little monsters, and candy! (and all from recycled materials!) We love us some candy... Will match with my felt ice cream cone couch ^_^...

Shinji Konishi Hairhats

This may be 2 years old, but let me say...This is still some piece of work. The hairhats from Shinji Konishi are beautiful and whimsical. Never ever think something is old! Sometimes you can find some little gems again and inspire someone! No need for more words, this just makes my day.

Thierry Mugler Meets Zombie Boy

We all know zombie boy (The Muse of Mugler), also known as Rick Genest, from the Lady Gaga music video for 'Born This Way' and his collaboration with Thierry Mugler.

Before all of this, he was also famous for being a star attraction of a freak show circus on the outskirts of Montréal. Can you imagine? Yes I can! I would have loved to see him there, as he played the mortal sin of sloth! (here comes my skull fascination again..sorry). And how was he discovered you might think? No guesses here, the god of all gods! Facebook! A fan page was created about a year ago named 'I bet this guy will regret getting this tattoo once he's older!!' (Yes I do ask myself that though..) and this page reached 1,526,224 members! My god, Let's hope my page will get those many nosy people ^_^. Nicola Formichetti was mesmerized by his appearance, and saw something else in him other then a circus 'freak'. come on, no one is normal! We're all 'freaks'. Be happy!

A magical and raw video that was created by Creative Director Nicola Formichetti, a well known name in the fashion industry! He also was responsible for the 'styling' of the Men's-wear collection for Mugler fashion Show, held in Paris. Nicola has also been busy styling and directing most of Lady Gaga's shows, videos and performances (including her artistic appearance)



Keep your little eye, or both, on this talented gift from above (or his mom, or dad, maybe both..), because Nicola is going to create more visual 'art' for our eyes to feast upon!

Happy Birthday Miss Iweanya!

SugaRush wishes Sylvia from Cut Up Collectif an outrageously decadent and creative birthday! Party Hardy in Brussel girlie!

Designs Lleta

I love skulls you know, and unicorns, deers, bows, robots and so on (not really relevant is it?) Anyway!

Even though I have been designing jewelry for 5 years, I always seem to have too little time... too little time to make something for myself. So here you go, design by Lleta, and executed by my lovely friend in China, Jay! Not intended for a real collection, more for fun ^_^

Chanel me over

My Chanel addiction.. Just because I watched 'Karl Lagerfeld Confidential'... Keep you posted on my little gems.. If you don't mind (I like to share)

Vintage Chanel Blouse from Antwerp



Necklace I bought in Copenhagen


The one shoe I would sell my soul for! (okay I'm exaggerating, but I really love these!) Tip for a 'little present'!

Castelbajac's Über Tropikal Airlines

Much love for JCDC' SS11 collection. Playful with a twist as always. I have been following him for some years, and still dreaming of the 'Creditcard dress' from the Spring 2009 collection. But maybe I need to revise that dream? Don't you think?



His inspiration is as clear as the skies he was flying in, when he was enjoying a nice tequila sunrise (just imagining), to probably some nice tropical resort. And there is only one person who can come up with a collection so imaginative, and that is Jean Charles De Castelbajac! The use of the same basic colors in almost every collection always seem different. Bright yellows, cobalt blue's, bright red's and grass greens are a must! I would almost miss it, if it weren't there.

You can see the story behind the collection, and that makes it an easy-and-fun to watch collection. From the comfortable flight, to a crash in the middle of an unknown Tropikal jungle and the journey of trying to find your way out, while the animals around you are keeping a close watch. Everything you will need and meet during this adventure, Castelbajac used and made it fashion! Perfectly portrayed and wearable at the same time.

Details I do love, Felix The Cat and the Eiffel Tower.

Please Play With Your Food Dimitri!

Russian Sculptor Dimitri Tsykalov must have learned NOT to play with his food, but as it turned out, he decided to do it anyway after he moved to Nogent-sur-Marne outside of Paris. Even though he put out allot of other objects, I do like these the most. He saw something different in all the fruits and vegetables he ate, and made it into eatable art, or art you can eat, you pick.






And do note, if you are wondering who was responsible for Lady Gaga's 'Meat Dress'? Now you know! Dimitri also 'played' with some uncooked meat, and found a whole other way to send environmental messages like, inhumane animal treatment, food waste and world hunger.



He didn't make it to last, but we don't mind. And as they say: 'Take a picture why don't ya! It lasts longer..'
