Ben Rayner
I got lost the other day on Ben Rayner’s tumblr. Then I found out he has a pretty sicken’ mobile blog. Which then lead me to his portfolio site. He mainly shoots artists with musical talent: MGMT, Robyn, Justice, and The Teenagers to name drop. I think the best part about this documentarian is that he makes you feel like you’re spending a lazy sunday with somebody cool. Take for...

Baptiste Neanderthal Giabiconi + Dansk
With odd truths abound and even worse rumours, the Baptiste and Karl relationship has had its fair share of speculations. On the other hand, how could you not fall for a guy who produces such stunning sounds? Sometimes we wonder whether or not his planned foray into a pizza delivery service wouldn’t have been such a bad idea… I can imagine a successful pizza chain inspired by the early man...

Vogue Paris February 2011
Why is this weird up crotch perspective all over every page of Vogue Paris’ February 2011 issue? Wait let me see who shot… Oh… every single editorial is by Mario Sorrenti. Right. For a minute I just thought it was an optical illusion or that I was dyslexic. I’m sure the world will be so Sorrenti the day Carine leaves Emmanuelle to hire photographers for Vogue Paris and she only has one...

Illuminati Ams
Naleye Junior, whom I’ve interviewed, is at the helm of a new project start up called Illuminati Ams. It’s a DJ collective from what I gather. I was mainly entranced by the video. They are based out of Amsterdam, which comprises the Ams of Illuminati Ams. Um… hire them?

Dior Homme / A Work In Progress
This video is more like a lament for lost souls as the camera slowly zooms in to these sully looking models. However, it’s actually an impressive off-hand look behind the scenes at Dior Homme. Kris Van Assche looks pretty darn worried in this video, which could be seen as foreshadowing. I heard the collection was a write off. But who am I to judge, the fluidity and careful attention is...
Elizabeth and James
Mainly because the secret handshake between Annie and her butler that I had memorized from my childhood was getting a bit hazy, I decided to rewatch The Parent Trap 1998 version. Many of you will know it as the height of Lindsay Lohan’s career, because let’s face it, was Mean Girls really that good? Here she plays TWO different characters, one of whom has a pretty bang on English...

Freja Beha's Lesbian Fantasy
After you press play, just heed my warning. Okay, I have no warning — just press play. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. You will enter Freja Beha’s dreamscape that is very NSFW but carries a lot of clout. Together with Abbey Lee Kershaw, only the best partner for such a reality, Edita Vilkeviciute exercises constraint with a bit of harmless body petting. I can just imagine how...

Naomi Preizler Interview
Keep your eyes on the Preizler. She’s gone from relative obscurity (read: a normal life) to being the hottest Brazilian chick on the market. Not only is she a living incarnation of art, she makes art. Naomi Preizler is an artist both in and out of the spotlight. Her blog documents her life and her art, which are actually not too bad. These interview snippets are from 2dm. Naomi’s blog....

No Layout
2011 prediction time. No Layout is going to be the coolest new website this year. I’m working on a special zine exclusively for Daniel, the man in chief. Basically it’s like all your dreams come true, that is, if you dream about fashion and other occult publications all online in one convenient location for the very low price of free. That’s right, pay nothing, and receive...

Christopher Rayner Interview
Chris Rayner is from Lancashire, which, contrary to popular belief, isn’t a part of Middle Earth. Rather, it’s a county in the northwest of England, most likely past anything worth visiting until you get to the border of Scotland. However, while Lancashire may not be abundant in tourism, it has brought about the Angel Gabriel of male models. Chris Rayner has been modeling since April...

Tom Ford S/S 2011
The secret’s out. The private show that everybody wanted to attend has now landed in the public’s lap. A first look at what appears to be more of a backyard barbeque meets Paris is Burning style runway jaunt including celebrities Sasha Fierce and Julianne Moore alongside models Natalia Vodianova and (eye roll) Chanel Iman. Why the secrecy? Tom Ford is a genius when it comes to creating...

I Scream U Scream
New year, new look. I found this site the other day thanks to my good friend Marcel. It’s a photo exchange. You know, where people get together and look at each other’s photo albums and compare photos and poses for hours when they really could be out taking more photos to be filling more albums? No? Well, consider including it in your already overwhelming list of new year’s...
