streetstyle: kick into the monotones

Rework the yin and yang of black and white for a fashion upper. Mixing masculine edge with feminine flair like leather and sheer is a perfect example. Or add bursts of color and details like a feathered headband for an updated look.

H5 is a spanking new wristwatch/lifestyle store that join the ranks of "hip and cool".

calm and excite

Quoting Balmain and Alexander Wang as her favorite designers, American model Ali Stephens gave "one hundred percent" and looked absolutely fierce as she covers the 30th issue of Russh Australia. Photographed by Benny Horne and styled by Stevie Dance, the editorial is spot on with ingenious choice of colors. Kinda reminds me of my old room with teal walls. Ever so calming and charming but boy, that orange is explosive!

the gloved one

In a tribute to Michael Jackson and one of his trademarks, the white gloves, artist KAWS was invited to work over an image of the late pop icon for an editorial piece in September's Interview Magazine. No guesses there as he decked it out with his signature Mickey Mouse gloves. Super!

blondie

Vogue Paris September pays homage to Blondie and its lead singer Debbie Harry, with Raquel Zimmermann taking the role of the famous fashion icon. She rocked it so well the resemblance is uncanny. Word has it Debbie Harry never hits the stage without instructions from her designer pal Stephen Sprouse. Just awesome. Photographed by Alasdair McLellan.

streetstyle: zipper floats

Copenhagen: Take a cue from these sexy, cool pairings for some serious street cred. A zippered, tiered dress with contrasting ankle boots guaranteed this beautiful blonde a place in the mod squad but get into a flowy jumpsuit if you're feeling flirtatious and exude a bit of edge with dark lace ups.

would you like that?

Move over shutter shades! Rhi Rhi looks major in the recent "Run This Town" music video, thanks to these Barracuda studded sunglasses from A-Morir by Kerin Rose.

all chained up

First prize winner of "Shoemania" design competition in Stockholm goes to students Tove Jansson and Per Emanuelsson with Chain Shoes, a concept based on two very opposite ideas; floating and the restriction of being chained down. Brilliant!

meet the tudors

Drawing on early 20th century inspirations for a more intricate and detailed collection, Bebe blends the best of the past with a modern day seductive twist. Resplendent and eclectic in a regal, Tudor-esque kind of way, that brocade jacket's got my name written all over it. Hello!

back in black

The H&M Magazine Fall 2009 issue features model Angela Lindvall in sequined jackets, corsets, ripped jeans, and of course, a lot of black. Love it. Want it. Need it all to add to my already 92.8% black wardrobe. I don't mind that hair either, thanks.
