Taking inspiration from throwaway materials and Frankenstein’s legendary monster, Dazed & Confused this month presents its ‘Franken-Fashion’ masks project… a unique creative collaboration with some of the world’s top designers, including such names as Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Martin Margiela, Hussein Chalayan, Roberto Cavalli, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Riccardo Tisci.

Couture might be out of our price range, but it certainly remains near and dear to our hearts in Flair’s April 2009 editorial ”La Sera è Couture.” Shot by Magnus Unnar, model Charlotte di Calypso brings natural life and movement to the glorified garb, showing the wearable side of couture. The spread is almost amateur, sometimes blurry or shadowed, enhancing the naturally grounded appeal of a girl lucky enough to wear couture. What a breath of fresh air in an age where photoshop ruins everything natural about….well…everything.
