Fashion Porn: OMAHYRA MOTA

If you’re a true fashion savant, then you’ll probably remember her from the infamously salacious Ellen Von Unwerth spread with former boy toy Boyd Holbrook. As for me, Omahyra Mota’s presence has haunted me since watching her crash a posh runway show in Jay-Z’s “Change Clothes” video. The Dominican Republic-born model possesses a striking combination of androgyny and femininity as well as a bad-ass devil may care attitude that sets her miles apart from the wannabe hipster models of today. Please God, no more naked pictures of Agyness Deyn. Ugghhh.

I am so captivated by Omahrya’s brash, around the way demeanor, killer bod, and unconventional sharp beauty, which isn’t the least bit tarnished by a collection of audacious tats and piercings. She’s modeled for both men and women’s clothing, which I find terribly admirable, she has also graced the covers of numerous rags, been featured in many a print ads including Rocawear, has walked for Bill Blass, Alexander McQueen, Heatherette, Fendi, and Jean Paul Gaultier, and made the list of People magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful in 2001. I haven’t been this in love with a model since Helena Christensen. I can only hope that people would stop salivating over vacuous, airbrushed celebs and get back to appreciating the ones who make looking insanely gorgeous an art.

Why Does Mommy Drink Daddy? And Other Questions Heatherette’s Are Asking Right Now.

We know where this is heading.

It starts with Daddy staying a little too late at work with his new secretary. Then mommy’s crying in the bathroom with a bottle of gin. And pretty soon you have two Christmas’ and a slew of step brothers who like playing “Hide the Inhaler” when you come over.

The break up is so eminent. Richie Rich has signed with shit maker Hot Topic to create a line of clothing without Heatherette.

“He didn’t want to do it,” sighs Richie. “They asked Heatherette to do it initially, but Traver said no, so I was like, well I’ll do it! I love Hot Topic!”

The line will hit the retailer in the near future and should fit well with equally crappy goods from Perez Hilton and Avril Levine.

Dammit Richie, we wanted to like you but this is unforgivable. Hot Topic is where emos go to die!!!

Richie Rich To Go Solo For Shoe Line

Richie Rich is reportedly going solo for his very first shoe line. Launching tonight in the LES, rumor has it that fave girl Lydia Hearst is hosting the party and wearing his first pair of shoes.

Very interested to see the collection, loved Heatherette.

Lydia Hearst at Sex and the City Premiere

Lydia Hearst looks like she bedazzled her own top for the Sex and the City premiere.  I’m sure the thing is from Heatherette, which is starting to fade in “wow” with age, but it’s way to underdressy for an “event” of this caliber. Oh, wait, it was just a movie.  That’s right. So maybe this is just perfect.

What do you think indies?

And why was Lydia the only model on the red carpet?

Fashion Indie at Tulips & Pansies 2008

Fashion Indie hit up this years Tulips & Pansies event with true swagger, dressing our asses up for the show that helped raise money for HIV/AIDS charities. The event was hosted by Gossip Girl/Model Lydia Hearst, Richie Rich and Travis Rains from Heatherette.

There was a ton of excitement (and Botox) in the air and a scene of real accomplishment as the giant floral monstrosities came down the runway. Fashion Indie favorites FORM took top prize, which got us all excited. We absolutely heart Jerry Tam.

How real men wear flowers.

Rebecca and I became acquainted with a bunch of fashion heavy hitters like Dandy Patrick McDonald, James Aguilar and Richie.  I got comfortable with wearing flowers. And we helped raise some capital for a great cause.  We’ve got over 150 photos so check some out after the jump…

Jerry Tam from FORM takes top prize

Not at all intoxicated. Promise.

FUNKSHION MIAMI

 Guest Writer and Dear Friend/Fashion Photographer: Rick Louis

 Miami is developing itself into a fashion force to be reckoned with. Attending FUNKSHION for the first time was an enlightening experience where fashion prevailed. A delightful blend of casual, urban, trendy, Avant-Garde, and business casual looks sashayed down the runway. Models such as Eva Jay, Lee, Keola, and Bobby strutted their stuff for designers including Puma, Akademiks, Sweetface (by Jennifer Lopez), Marceau + D’Amore, Girbaud, William Rast (by Justin Timberlake shown above), Jockstarzz, Heatherette, and Russell Simmons’s Argyle Culture.

Russell Simmons’ new line, Argyle Culture (above), stood out in terms of colors, fabrics, and style. The line appeals to a sophisticated yet trendy audience, maintaining both a contemporary and timeless essence.

Noticeable as well was the Marceau + D’ Amore line (above) ; Marceau presented men’s and women’s jeans, bathing suits, and dresses reminiscent of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct: fun, sexy, and provocative.

Naturally, Puma, Akademiks (above), and Girbaud’s work solidified their favorable position within the fashion industry.

Leave it to Heatherette (above) to spice it up and stand out from the other shows. Remaining true to their innovative ways, the duo presented a different approach to their show. Richie and Traver shot the full runway version of the fashion show earlier in the day with just the press as live audience.

Later on that evening, as the public arrived, the set was full of models, make-up artists, hair stylists, and the designers themselves getting busy and “ready” for their fashion show. In other words, the public thought they were backstage and took quite an interest at the fashion madness developing in front of them. As Traver and Richie displayed the runway show on big screens, the audience realized they were getting a close up view of both the backstage and the final product for the price of one.

FUNKSHION’s final surprise, however, was Kevin Everett (above). Everett, a former Buffalo Bills football player, who, in September 2007 dislocated and fractured his cervical spine, walked down the runway during the Jockstarzz fashion show. The Jockstarzz show benefited the Kevin Everett Foundation and featured a blend of models and pro-players such as Roscoe Parrish (Buffalo Bills), Bryant McKinnie (Minnesota Vikings), and Lauryn Williams (2004 Olympic silver medalist). Nadia Turner (American Idol contestant) opened the show singing the Star Spangled Banner while Cool (Cool & Dre) and K. Foxx (99. Jamz) walked down the runway. Kudos!!!!
