Mango Plays It Safe

Mango's Summer Catalogue is out. They had Kate Moss, they had Terry Richardson,

and if you look through the collection you will realise they also had the clothes. But rather than

awe-inspiring, the result is much more yawn-inspiring. The styling is plain, mainly white on white,

on even more white. The photography style is nothing special and the poses are repeated in

several pictures. Kate Moss looks fresh and stylish, but since when is that novel? 

Mango could have created a more individual and inspired catalogue with all the ingredients they had,

why didn't they? The other big Spanish high street brand Zara seemed to have the same shyness about taking risks in their lookbooks until they started to be a bit more innovative with the TRF line. Hopefully Mango will surprise us soon and make the most of that large amount of talent they have with them.

Party On, Florence

Oh, didn't Florence Welch look a bit dreary on the NME Awards? Even though she received an award and there were so many other distinguished guests from the music business to mingle with during the event.

Among the people who attended you could spot:

[click the names to see their photocall shot]
Alexa Chung, Kate Moss and Jamie Hince, Pixie Geldof, Jarvis Cocker, Carl Barat 

(The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things), Ladyhawke, Anna Calvi, Marina Diamandis 

(Marina & The Diamonds), the very casual Kaiser Chiefs, the very unpolluted Hurts 

and The Drums - the singer Jonathan Pierce is easy to identify due to his perpetual white socks-.

But as you can see, she didn't keep that face all night, and in the party she loosened up a bit and seems like she had a pretty good time. Dressed up in Moschino, Louboutins in one hand and cocktail in the other, I wouldn't mind to party like that either. (And yes, the girl behind on the right in the pic is Alexa Chung)

Sisters' Business

Is it just me, or are the couples of sisters taking over fashion?
Seems that lately, more and more siblings have been hoarding covers, launching clothing lines, or modelling.

You don't believe it? Let's try to play a little family's association game...

First ones are:

These sisters launched on 2009 the first Twenty8Twelve collection. Sienna said about it "When you grow up together and share a life as each other's half until you leave home, it's inevitable, or was at least for us, that you share an appreciation of a similar aesthetic." Actually, on the brand website you can find a Working Together section, where you can read that Savannah made Sienna's first fancy dress costume at the age of eight, and also even see the pic.



Ok, so sisters with their own couture fashion label... that bring us to:

The Olsens are questionless fashion icons; not only being always regular in front rows or magazines (last one has been Vogue's Best Dressed issue) or for being ambassadors of the boho chic style. They've also had always an interest in creating fashion themselves. They started by creating a clothing line in Wal-Mart stores across North America for girls ages 4–14 as well as a beauty line. On 2007, the pair also started a new line for The Row (their own brand), entitled "Elizabeth & James", named after their siblings.

 
Bonus sister. Lizzie Olsen, last one to arrive. She's also an actress as well but she's already made a Nylon magazine cover; and everybody is now keeping an eye on her.



So we're talking about sisters that are actresses but also with a presence on fashion, even lately having appeared in a magazine cover... I know who's next:

We've already dedicated a post to these sisters. They're not only all over magazines, on covers or articles (W magazine has been the last one), but also are very close to the designers. Youngest one, Elle, is been in The Curve of Forgotten Things, Rodarte’s newest short and covered Love Magazine on her own. Her older sister, Dakota, with a longest career, has already appeared in more covers (Marie Claire, Dazed, Flare, V...) and has  Marc Jacobs campaigns, the last one for the Lola perfume.

And well, if you want to talk about someone who's made loads of campaigns...








The English model Moss has had campaigns with major Italian, French, American, and British designers; she has been featured in fashion spreads in most major fashion magazines; she has appeared in music videos, provided vocals for songs... And as our previous couples of sisters, Kate Moss has as well released several collections for Topshop and four fragrances. And lately, she married Jamie Hince on 1 July 2011. Spotted at her half-sister Kate’s wedding as a bridesmaid, 13 year old Charlotte “Lottie” Moss is said to want to follow her supermodel sisters footsteps.


 Let me see, British models with a younger sister following their steps... Yep, I know more of those:

They were influenced by the fashion industry from a very young age, thanks to their mother, head of sales section in British department store Selfridges. Poppy has taken hold of the New York scene, imposing its delicate and informal style. Socialité and blogger, she was named ambassador for Chanel and has starred in ad campaigns for brands such as Mango and Laura Ashley. At 18 years old and with a Burberry campaign and modelling for Asos already under her belt, Cara is set for big things. With her elder sister already an established model, her social circle is filled with the youngest, coolest rising stars.

Fine, more sisters modelling, here we go.

Georgia and Elizabeth share tastes and profession: both are reputed models which is not surprising considering that they are daughters of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger. Both of them began at an early age his adventure in fashion, clearly demonstrating that it was the way they wanted to go. The earliest one was Elizabeth, who just at 14 years abandoned his studies to take this path that has led to stardom. Georgia repeated this pattern but she waited until 17 to become the face of Hudson Jeans. These girls are typical of the covers and advertising campaigns and two of the names that promises them further in this sector



Mom was a model and dad is a Rolling Stone? Wait, this sounds familiar:

 

Daughters of Keith Richards an Patti Hansen, actually, these sisters appeared on a Tommy Hilfiger campaign alongside with Elisabeth Jagger. Theodora has guest-edited one issue of L'Officiel, modeled for Karen Walker label, appeared on the cover of Lucire and became the model and muse for New York City premium denim collection 4Stroke Jeans. Alexandra's face has appeared in established magazines such as Vogue, Glamour, Vanity Fair, ID magazine, Harpers Bazaar...

And the list could go on and on... 

Moss and Richardson are in a rush

Kate Moss and Terry Richardson, both one of the most acclaimed international
models and photographers, are the stars of the brand's promotional video.
Entitled The Great Escape, Terry Richardson, director and co-star, shows an exciting escape shot in emblematic locations of Paris, such as the Mini Palais, Place de la Concorde,
Place de l'Alma, Champs Elysées and the Centre Pompidou.

The end of the film, in which the model and the photographer act out an original scene, was shot and broadcast live to the MANGO fashion show at the Centre Pompidou in Paris,
allowing the guests to watch the end of the film.

Pull shapes (I): DIAMOND

I don't know if not spanish readers have heard something about this, but here they're trying to define women's body shapes in order to standardize sizes. Not only i found awful the idea of cataloging women as objects shapes, my indignation increased when i saw the options for men were more like: athletic, slim... so, no geometric shapes? Not fair.

Women Official Shapes

I completely refuse the idea of cataloging people by their bodies, and i sincerely find it a stupid measure, given that every girl knows herself and knows what makes them look best.

So here I go, I propose a new way of deciding your shape, your personality shape. Best of all is that they're not excluding categories, you can be any of them depending on your mood or how are you feeling about the day you have ahead... You probably are all into one!

DIAMOND

You like to shine, you like to hear how amazing you look, how good looks that new skirt you bought. You light up every place you're in, because you feel powerful, keep laughing, dance, have fun knowing that all the girls obsessed with their body shapes will never enjoy as much as you're enjoying!

In this style: Edie Sedgwick, Kate Moss, Adriana Lima, Diane Kruger, Christina Hendricks, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Daria Werbowy, Heidi Klum, Alexa Chung, Audrey Hepburn ...

Songs:

I bet that you look good on the dancefloor

Long before rock'n'roll

Femme fatale

Queen of the World

Dancing Queen

Moi Je Joue

Girls Just wanna Have Fun

No You Girls...



They'll be wearing: Sequins, chiffon, colour block, velvet, lace, platforms, mini dresses, red lipstick...

So, be diamond my friend... and dance!

If you were there, beware

Any plan for Sunday?

Mick Jagger, William S.Burroughs, Andy Warhol

Kate Moss, Johnny Depp, Iggy Pop

Self-portrait on lipstick

Kate Moss's self-portrait has been sold for £33,600.

The coolest thing about this? The picture is drawn in lipstick!

Pete Doherty originally owned the lipstick self-portrait and sold it to the anonymous seller placing it in Saturday's auction.

A self-portrait by Doherty, signed in blood, also was in sale, but no buyer could be found

It is not signed, but inscribed by Doherty with the words:

"Who needs blood when you've got lipstick?"

Models who Rock

Just hi everybody!¡

This is my very first post....and i wanted to dedicate it to my biggest hobbies: music and fashion....and that's what this blog is going to be about!!

I must confess that i'm so crazy about music....i think i spend hours and hours and even more hours searching on internet for new bands, old bands, songs... And when i finish, i still spend hours and hours and more hours listening my ipod.

And i love to find connections between fashion and music. So today is gonna be about those models/singers.

*** The first one....obviously: Miss Moss.

Everyone knows she was the girlfriend of Pete Doherty (from Babyshambles), in fact she has sung with him in many festivals. You can look for songs like:

-"La belle et La bete", "When i get low i get high"," I wanna be like you".

( i like the first one the most! )

If you want to see her perfoming...look for Glastonbury festival.

Now Kate has a relation with another rocker:

Jamie Hince, from The Kills.

But Kate Moss has colaborated with other indie groups, just like Primal Scream ( Diamond Blue, Some Velvet Morning). She has also danced in a music video for The White Stripes.

*** Next one, and very related with Kate,

is Irina Lazareanu.

She is been also sentimentaly related with Doherty,

but at the moment she is working in a music project with Yoko and John son: Sean Lennon.

In fact, we could see them performing in Chanel Pre-Fall 2008 Show.

The song is called "Some place along the way"

***Finally, we have the one and only Agyness Deyn.

And i should admit, that i really LOVE this model, i think she is one of my favourites!

Josh Hubbard,his boyfriend,

is part from the band The Paddingtons.

Aggy herself, she has an own band

called Lucky Knitwear.

And lately, she has colaborated with the band Five O'Clock Heroes in the song "Who".

Also, she also plays as DJ on Lower Eats Side NYC's clubs... she's unstoppable!!

---------So, what do you think?? Who of them do u think that is more talented?
