`Olsens x Hirst' Pharmacy Inspired Backpack

"Well, I see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat", that's what Dylan sang to his Blonde On Blonde muse back in 1966. Nowadays, he should take into account to record a new version of his "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" and consider changing the title to "Crocodile-Skin Pill-Studded Backpack"; after all, this garment also "is really that expensive kind".

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have re-edited the The Row crocodile skin backpack that sold out  last year. This time they counted with artist Damien Hirst, who drew upon one of his most recurring motifs: the pills (view The Void, Pharmacy restaurant...). Doubled the price of the previous version, will this drug appliqué accesory priced $55,000 sell out this year as well?

Have Your Denim Customised

 

We all have some jeans, denim shirt or jacket in the very end of our wardrobes that remains there and never is worn. We sometimes rediscover them, and after looking at their old-but-not-vintage-yet style we get excited at the thought of customising it. Who's not looked for denim DIY tutorials online?

Dip dye, waxed, studded, ripped... endless possibilities that look great in blogs but we're too lazy to carry out in the end.

Well, for the joy of us lazy and not very skilled old denim holders you can have your denim pieces customised with the only trouble of having to post it...and pay of course!

Denim Refinery offers you the possibility of choosing what your garment will look like (laser print, distressed, different colour...), leave the decission to the proffesionals and be surprised by the result, or even buy cool customised pieces from their e-shop. Take a look at some "Before and After" pieces:

 

The Cure for Street Style Overdose

Streetstyle can have secondary effects.

After fashion weeks, you are in danger of suffering a streetstyle pictures overdose.

 Do the most outrageous and bold outfits leave you cold and unimpressed?

Do clash of patterns give you headache?

Do you feel numb and uninterested after flicking through all your favourite streetstyle blogs?

You definitely have the symptons then. Don't panic though, here's the cure.

A style so simple and natural, yet so carefully orchestrated it just makes you stop, take a breath and

wonder why you have never considered adding a masculine snake print coat to your wardrobe basics.

Mario Testino Takes Anna Wintour's Passport Picture

We all have to suffer the embarrasment of showing that gritty unflattering picture on our passport.

We just hope that the officer checking it at the border line doesn't take too long looking at it and quickly identifies that frowning/drowsy/kind of cross-eyed/(insert adjective) person with a bad hair day in the passport with the person holding it so we can run and hide away that hideous portrait until who knows when.

 

Oh well, Anna Wintour isn't a common mortal as we all know, her fate is not to have a mugshot

alike picture on her passport. Instead, she summons Mario Testino to have her flawless image taken.

No room for photobooth snapshots if you are one of the world's most powerful trendsetters.
