i-D Magazine: Role Models

i-D is, as of yet, my favourite fashion magazine. I just love everything about it and as such I make a point to buy it whenever it comes out. In the most recent issue there is an amazing photoshoot with some of the most powerful women in modelling along side their interviews. There's something for everyone, for the fashion-inclined there's some beautiful dresses and lingerie and for the less fashion inclined just loads of beautiful women and even some candid nudity! It's definitely worth a look so I've put together a video of it.

I'm not gonna lie though, this video was a completely self-indulgent way to test out the video mode on my camera.

Inspiration: 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2013 (Minimalism)

Phillip lim and his minimalist aesthetic is something that has really appealed to me for a really long time and I think its something I'm going to try to aim for next spring. I love the colour combinations, a lot of khaki but it doesn't look dumpy it looks crisp, especially when paired black and baby blue, it sounds so wrong but looks perfect together. I being English especially appreciate the fact that their is still a black outfit or two in there.

GQ Germany: Minimal Maximal Editorial

Like a lot of people in the United Kingdom, I tend to forget about Germany as part of the fashion world but recently I came across an editorial in GQ Germany which really surprised me.

English GQ isn't exactly high fashion, but that probably says more about the English Men's Fashion scene than the publication itself.

This editorial from GQ Germany certainly doesn't fit that image. It's sleak and interesting and as it's title suggests achieved maximum impact with minimal effort. I think I'm definitely going to be looking into ordering GQ Germany to England.

BLACK SENSE MARKET 2012 FALL/WINTER

Japanese Fashion Magazine SENSE has released its Fall/Winter 2012 capsule collection. A lot of brands that are especially popular in Japan (although they're good in every continent) are involved, including Roar, Wacko Maria and many others.

The colour pallet is for lack of a better word very black, a lot of punk influences such as leather and embellishment.

The collection is available now on the Sense website and as always international shipping IS available.

A gallery of the collection can be seen below:

Nike Air Force 1 Deconstruct

The Nike Air Force 1 has been released in its black colour way and i might have to consider getting myself a pair at some point.

For me the major concern when buying AF1s was how clumpy they make my feet look, which is a special concern for those of us with larger feet, these however eliminate that problem and provide you with a great pair of shoes.

Cruel Summer Leaks

Cruel Summer has officially leaked and has met a mostly welcoming crowd. I've heard people say things like "Best colab G.O.O.D. music have produced so far" right next to "Worst opening song in I've ever heard" so the reception has been mixed but I'd say overall good though. I was always gonna like it and I do. I won't bother providing a link to them because they seem to be everywhere.
