Elle Muliarchyk + NY Moment
Winner of most interesting person of the past decade goes to Elle Muliarchyk. While many may debate this, I first must flatter Elle Muliarchyk before you get angsty. First of all, as a landed immigrant-model, Elle was a hit, but it wasn’t what she wanted. She turned her sights onto creation (this broad term encapsulating photography, art, design, modeling, and filming) and hasn’t even...

Blame It On The Pop
Instead of boring you to death with another end of year list, I thought I would bring you some of the worst songs of 2009 via probably the best mash-up ever created by DJ Earworm. Yes, he somehow took all of these retarded hits and made their baby sound better than an episode of Glee. He took the Top 25 Billboard hits of 2009 and mashed them together to create the best retro groove one could ask...

Vogue Russia + Ash Stymest
This Ash Stymest is one that we don’t often get to see between the hardcore punk and careless rebel Ash Stymest. Even though he manages to steal some light in these photos for Vogue Russia, I still can’t get over the star quality of Hannah Holman. Via The Fashionisto.

The Cobra Snake / Mark Hunter
Basically number one in the party business, this dude may have invented the whole party photography craze that is taking over 2010. Yes, kids. The next decade is sure to be filled with sweaty dancing, love-making, attention-seeking post-teens (opposite of pre-teen) and bar tab vibes of primo culture takeover. If that made any sense to you then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Mark...

Kids + Chloë Sevigny
I couldn’t find a decent trailer, so this will have to do. All I’m saying is, Larry Clark is the best director. This is like Elephant meets Detroit Rock City. If you are a teenager, like sex, New York, or vulgarity then you will like Kids. This was model Chloë Sevigny’s debut on screen and it is honestly one of the best films. 1995 was perfect. Merry Christmas, I’ll be back...

Pamela Reed and Cats Interview
Reed + Rader don’t really require an introduction. Their artwork speaks for itself, literally, with moving creatures and fantasy futurism at every new turn. Flowers growing where heads should be, and spacey beauty that could only be described as ethereal. Their embracing of the future is what we need at this turn of decades, and I’m very excited to see what they create next. I sat down...

Ian Markell Interview
Ian Markell wants to blow up his own city. The LA resident has been documenting the wildest and diciest people and things in the sunny City of Angels. He’s currently attending the New School which has cranked out such visionaries as Eleanor Roosevelt, Tennessee Williams, Marlon Brando & Marc Jacobs. This means that Ian Markell will probably add to the list of distinguished graduates,...

Lara Stone + Vogue UK
Lara and I have one thing in common. No, it’s not that we share the same amazing bone structure or incredibly toned body. No, it’s not that we’re both always naked. No, it’s not that we both talk to Karl Lagerfeld on the daily. It’s that we both… uhh… we both like Christmas. And what to my wondering eyes should appear? The best editorial of two thousand ten in Vogue...

Hans Ericksson Interview
Hans Ericksson has stolen the Hedi Slimane esthetic. His photography nabs moments in time that are a rare glimpse. They could be simply ordinary moments, but he transforms them into something magical. Hailing from Sweden, one of the most fashionable countries in the modern age, he truly shows us why life in the north is something to be sought after. He’s just finished a new project documenting...

Luuc Brans / Brutus
It’s pretty cool to see these guys going on to do something awesome. I interviewed Luuc Brans. Here he looks studious in Brutus Magazine shot by Kazuhiro Fujita.

Anja Rubik + Numéro 108
I remember trade-marking a little word when it comes to Anja Rubik. What was it again? Oh right, VERSATILITY. Well she does it again, pretending to be eight different models in this new editorial for Numéro. Seriously, this could be eight completely different models. That’s the way to beat out the competition: be the competition. Has she ever been called a Rubik’s cube? Cause this...

Pull Teeth Vs. See Like Me
Andrew Chipman, otherwise known as his stage persona Pull Teeth, has been braving the arctic chill in Winnipeg, Canada wearing cutthroat DIY fashion while obsessing over Lady GaGa and Jeremy Scott. His retro look and eye for what ought to be hot makes pulling teeth seem painless. Needless to say, his blog has caught the eye of THE Jeremy Scott (who is probably reading this interview) which means...

Open Lab
I had a gorgeous post made up with inspiration // videos and photos that took me a good 15 minutes to put together. My computer’s battery died just as I was ready to post. So timely. Well, with that post being forever in the internet graveyard, I remembered an email I’d received about these people at Open Lab. This stuff usually crowds my inbox and most of it is usually a write-off,...

Meisel Pic + Vogue Italia
I haven’t decided yet whether this is inherently clever or not. I get the whole Steven Meisel-can-do-whatever-he-wants-because-he’s-that-big-of-a-deal thing. But first of all, these photos (taken by the models themselves) aren’t anything worthy of praise, and the joke is a bit “defective”. Twitter is one of the biggest new sites cropping the net, and many models...

Coco Rocha Interview
I never thought I’d have a post with this title, but apparently wishes do come true.
Appearing in everything A to Z fashion and back again, Coco Rocha has won over everyone’s heart (and their dog) since her first jig down the catwalk for Jean Paul Gaultier. It makes me very proud to see such incredible representation of Canadians in the cutthroat world of fashion. Coco’s role...

Iris Strubegger + Vogue Italia
Voilà Iris Strubegger, the man. Unfortunately, I have nothing nice to say about this editorial. I am to understand that the shoes are pretty cool? Mikael Jansson shoots… her, for Vogue Italia. These just take butch to the next level. The whole spike do’ screams the “d” word circa 2001 when it was really cool to have that haircut. I thought I was alone, but it’s comments...

Brooke Candy Interview
This interview doesn’t start off very pretty. But who needs pretty when you can have raw, unadulterated conversation that’s creepier than a date rapist? Brooke Candy is probably one of the most fascinating humans I’ve never met. Basically, she documents her entire life in a San Francisco that many thought was long dead. These photos make me want to become American, and I never...

See Like Me Rare Issue
Back in September 2009 I was possessed by a notion that I had to do something with all the time I didn’t have. Naturally, I was consumed by a project that would take 3 consecutive months, 147 emails, and a partridge in a pear tree. I performed intensive research, looking for the best photographers, artists, and interesting people that would be contacted in an attempt to bring together...

Candy + Luis Venegas
Candy is a new publication by the man who brought us Fanzine 137 & EY! Magateen. This time, however, the bar has been raised. This is the first transversal magazine (transsexual, transvestite, androgyny) ever. Cole Mohr and Luke Worrall among others prance around in this video looking dainty as usual. Take that Cole Mohr fans. In other news, See Like Me’s Rare Issue is only minutes from...

French Vogue + Lara Stone
Before I mention that this editorial features unforgivable Dutch babe Lara Stone, styling by Carine Roitfeld herself, and photography by Cedric Buchet, let me just let you know why this editorial is beyond amazing. First of all, it dares to be sexual without having to show anything NSFW with the whole nun/right vs. wrong theme. I’m still wondering why La Tentation du Diamant hasn’t...

Colby Miers
I’m taking a shot at featuring photographers you may never have heard of before. Maybe if one day they become the next Terry Richardson or Sølve Sundsbo then I’ll feel as though I had a hand in helping them rise to success. Even though I totally ripped this off one of my favourite sites Seeing is Stealing. I stole. It’s sort of Vice-like photography, but I like it. The glossy...

Mariano Vivanco Interview
Mariano Vivanco just shot a fox. Megan Fox, that is, for the cover of Wonderland Magazine. Now, his work goes beyond hunter/gatherer. Mariano’s art exudes passion and beauty. His films and photography make my mouth water and eyes sweat due to the inability to look away. A true artist is somebody that engraves a passion into their artwork, and Mariano does just that. It’s truly unique that we are...
