> Mugler, with Formichetti as brand new Creative Director, has been for my little eye The Show this AW  Runaway in Paris. Obviously there has been some other great shows, but for me most seemed too familiar…It´s bad and great that Fashion is the constant hunt of newness… and probably runaways have to evolve to attract our attention. Formichetti & Lady Gaga have created a new & exciting languaje that coincidentely or not recreates Mugler spirit. Bravo!!

> CANDY es el nuevo proyecto editorial de Luis Venegas. La primera revista de moda completamente dedicada a celebrar el transvestismo, transexualidad, androginia…Una auténtica oda a la libertad y al respeto de la expresión individual con la colaboración habitual de los mejores fotógrafos de moda del panorama internacional.

En un momento en el que todos cuestionamos lo que hay y sentimos que queremos algo diferente es fantástico ver que alguien se anticipa y se embarca en proyectos tan visionarios. Ole Venegas!

>  La ilustración ha venido siendo una especie de “hermana menor”  en el universo moda aunque posee, sin embargo, la capacidad de transmitir universos únicos, como el de Clare Owens, una ilustradora inglesa  enamorada de los gatos, el té y todo lo francés.

Merece la pena pasearse por su web

> ” INTERVAL, a mini-flick made to accompany Chalayan profile in Nomenus Quarterly, is full aggressive, evocative images enriched with color-saturated bold hues perfect for cataloging the work of one of fashion’s most slippery, challenging creators. Produced by FLY’s Catherine Camille Cushman and Stephen Blaise and directed by photographer Jamie Isaia (of Art + Commerce) the vid presents Ms. Michael draped in a Chalayan dress as she torturously bites off each of her neon artificial nails while two women in veiled hats sit side by side in a modest living room.  Watch out for the surprise ending!
