Shoes ♥ Sparring ♥ Gowns

DUNJA SESELJA

I didn't expect to find these teeming shoes, whilst mooching around on deviant-art, these engaging shoes were created by Dunja Seselja whom Is currently accomplishing her PhD in Philosophy of Science at Ghent University in Belgium, it seems Owl Shoes, Flash Shoes and Silver Helmet Shoes are not her only forte in life and in addition these shoes are cruelty-free vegan footwear.  

SPARRING SCHWÄRMEREI

Magazine: VOGUE RUSSIA May 2010 

Model: Alessandra Ambrosio 

Photographer: Alasdair McLellan

The play on masculine versus feminine, and of course sexiness, definitely shines through in this boxing inspired editorial, along with Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio, adorning a glorious white gown.

LEE HYORI H-Logic Album

South Korean artist Lee Hyori has revealed new fashion magazine styled photos for her H-Logic Album Jacket, seen with a funkdafied street chic with a comprisal of clowns, so giving you a slight tip off and for those who have a slight Clown Phobia. The movie 'IT' with the evil clown was somewhat a disturbing watch as a kid, but I have met some lovely clowns from a lively circus since then, but I wont lie, even though I have no clown phobia whatsoever, I can fathom there is something that can be quite sinister about clowns.

MAGDA MACHAJSKA

I careened across this portfolio by designer Magda Machajska, who is a Senior year student at Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan, Poland, Department of Architecture and Design. Magda has participated in international exchange scholarships twice through the Technical University of Athens and Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, and she believes in design as a way of thinking and medium to bring together many different disciplines of creativity. Magda also has a penchant for art and illustrations and it would seem creating interesting structural shaped lines to her designs.

RXANDY CAPINPIN - DAX BAYANI

Philippines Statement Magazine Design: Dax Bayani
Styling: Red Mil
Grooming: Hanna Pechon

Talented Photographer Rxandy Capinpin from Manilla Philippines who works with many interesting designers to capturing here, unique shoulder caged accessory items by Designer Dax Bayani who is also based in Manilla and thrives in creating unique structural and symmetrical couture pieces. Fashion has always been a natural inclination for designer Dax Bayani, with his family running a garment manufacturing and exporting company since he was a child. Dax Bayani says

I am a very conceptual designer. I want my clothes to tell a story and to make sense. I tend to think a lot before producing a certain garment just to make sure it’s unique. I spend a lot of time interpreting my inspiration and editing it by giving or taking a few key elements before producing the final garment.

I look forward to scoping Dax Bayani's future designs,  as he does seem to bring individual creativity to his designs.

WEARING TOU

The concept of Tou is to find and discover a new view point, the shape is made of ordinary existing terms with abit of change. Your imagination and creativity will be required for wearing 'Tou'. I really found these items below to be charming little creations with multiple functions with design quirks. These creations really get the mind ticking, and I can behold how future designers can emerge these charming designs with high quality materials fused and alloyed with an Avant Garde Twist.

The upcoming VMAN Magazine edition 18, shot by photographer Elle von Unwerth featuring the fun loving Shrek characters from Dreamwork animations. The 4th and final chapter of the Shrek movie will be released May 21st in IMAX 3D and I for one cannot wait to see it, probably one of my ultimate favourite animation film, with a reverse of a traditional fairytale amidst all the mirthful of whimsical characters from Donkey, Puss in Boots, Gingerbread Man, Three Pigs and the rest of the fairytale world.

Tumblr PS I made this

While thumb through wandering online, I found Tumblr to be a free wheeling and less commitment minded place, with oodles of constant inspiration without the titles and comments form. So on a whim I decided to join, as a side project by creating the odd post on a impulse..but prime of all I get to appreciate some of the creative cream of Tumblr. That is when I came across PS I made this, a do-it-yourself blog giving readers ideas for DIY projects, she makes everything look so easy to recreate.... P.S. - I Made This... is a movement. It’s a call to action to re-imagine, re-use, and re-invent. I see it.     I like it.     I make it.

The head scarves look fantubular in this editorial, along with the high bouffant hair, no matter how I wear a head scarf it always looks outre ridiculous due to having a smallish sized head. Maybe I'll give the bouffant hair a go, but somehow I don't think it'll make any spectacular difference.
