Fragrance Foundation Fêtes Fifi Finalists

Edited by

It’s that time again, kids! Time for the only awards presentation of any merit, the Fifis. Celebrating the best in perfumes, colognes, eau de toilettes, body sprays and pretty much anything that covers up the smell of failure and/or shame, this year’s nominees naturally include a number of celebrity vanity fragrances such as Beyoncé‘s “Pulse” and Justin Bieber‘s “Someday,” both finalists in the Luxe Women category. While Bey may have the biological advantage, if you ask me there’s no woman more luxe than the Biebs.

Edited by

Oh yeah. Pleated skirts are a springy way to spin through the day. And with warmer weather zig and zagging into cooler temps and back again, a maxi with dimension might be the solution to the switch.

INDIE REWIND: The Greatest Supermodels of the 70s

Edited by

What the 60s set into motion, the 70s broke up on a glass table and snorted through several stacks of hundred dollar bills. Supermodels went from being muses of the fashion world to muses of rock stars, actors, athletes and the occasional congressman when the wife was out of town, while trying their hands in front of the camera and behind the microphone. This decade saw the birth of outsized personalities that continue to shake up the world whenever they deign to acknowledge it. Put on some Cheryl Lynn, we’re going to the 70s!

You Can Take the Boy Out of the Zombie…: Rick Genest for Schön Magazine

Edited by

Walking art installation, Rick Genest, aka Zombie Boy, is the feature editorial in Schön Magazine‘s October issue, wherein his signature tattoos are uncovered — then subsequently covered, with the use of make-up and/or de-zombieing cream — by photog Matthew Lyn. Stylist Kay Korsh, meanwhile, dresses the model-muse in Rag & Bone, John Galliano, Issey Miyake, et al. The effect of seeing Zombie Boy with (what looks like) actual skin peeking through might be a bit jarring, but then again, we’ve already seen the Boy before the Zombie.

INTERVIEW: Designer Raquel Allegra Makes Gaga Lose Her Sh*t

Edited by

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have fought Nicole Ritchie for these clothes. Lady Gaga demanded they be in her music video. Barney’s clients were lusting over them before they were even on the rack. Prisoners were wearing these before anyone. Wait, what? Yes, LA based designer Raquel Allegra has created these very garments. Using meticulously sifted clothing from massive rag warehouses, she uses her own brand of deconstruction to turn old t-shirts into cloud-like textiles that drape like butter. Find out her secrets, and what it was like to make Mother Monster “lose her shit” over her designs.
