Lara, Mariacarla, Kristen, Nyasha and Daphne by Mert & Marcus for LOVE 6

Religious iconography and striking head gear styled by Katie Grand and Panos Yiapanis, featuring models Lara Stone, Mariacarla Boscono, Kristen McMenamy, Nyasha Matonhodze and Daphne Groeneveld. The first photo of the zipped trail soused head-wear is glorious. I would be delighted if anyone could attempt to create a D.I.Y version of that. It's becoming more self-evident, that I really could have done with learning some practical sewing skills. Photography: Mert & Marcus

Kermit Tesoro Pony Skull

The name 'Kermit' keeps popping up on my tiny watchtower - but it's not of the friendly frog muppet kind! More so a Filipino fashion designer & artist named - Kermit Tesoro, whom in fillipino language could be described as a little 'Krung Krung' with his visionary designs and inspiration. The aesthetics exhibited from his works reflect's a championing of technology and unconventional materials and inclinations towards art science religion and childhood fascinations. These shoes have smack-dab evoked my attraction to pony hair. I highly recommend that you check out his other latest FW 11 clothing collection here .  

Coinciding facts I came across whilst writing this post 

 - 1. Kermit, a given name of Irish origin meaning "without envy or jealousy". 

-  2. The term  'Krung Krung' pertains to crazy, eccentric, uber quirky.

{Video} • Skateboarding comes to India • 2NE1 Music Video

This enchanting cinematography makes for palpable viewing, would you have thought? a sport like skateboarding could bring so much intrigue fascination and joy, coupled with the local vibe and organic scenery. Captured by Guilhem Machenaud,  "A true meeting between skateboard and people, in a simply incredible country." - Oxelo 

I never got round to sharing the music video of 2NE1's latest single 'I am the best' whom are seen donning all various Avant-Garde and magnetizing delights, covered in here. 'Bam Ratatata Tatatatata' is the most euphonic part of the track. ~  I've just realised I've made a boo boo because I thought it was Friday!!  'A Thursday hopscotching' it is then. 

This installment of LINK LOVE is sent Singapore's way - Why? because all three web-shops are based in Singapore and ship internationally. I immediately added these web stores to my bookmark way back and I wanted to now share them with YOU. I use to wish, I lived in the same geographical locations where all the new snappy stores were, but now it matter's to a less degree as the shipping costs are super cheapo.  Oneway or another the grass always seems greener. 

This online boutique leans to the edgy stylish up-to-the-minute items that are influenced by music and the underground scene of subcultures. I mostly delight in the jewellery that's available on here chains crucifixes skulls beads metal and rocks, and check it out for yourself there super priced in Singapore dollars in turn making it most worthwhile in sterling pound. I still haven't got round to bombarding this shop when payday arrives.

The name of the store is rubbish, but that's okay as the word seems to be cheekily reclaimed here!   Contemporary chic feminine fashion wear and high end inspired items, are reflected in some of the apparel, footwear and handbags. Always worth visiting to see it's latest updates to pre-order before they run out!

2NE1: Sway with Couture to Punk Rock to Sport Glam to ones own Bam Ratatata Tatatatata

MUSIC VIDEO SNAPSHOTS: I AM THE BEST PART 1

2NE1 are the life-force of Korean music and fashion, it is unceasingly perceptible through-out there music video's, live performances, magazine shoots and off stage. Of note, they additionally exert a down-to-earth charismatic charm, witnessed during there show called 2NE1TV, which notably films the album collaboration between 2NE1 and Will.i.am, [International album release anticipated 2012] and the special rapport with Jeremy Scott. 

The newly released MV called ' I am the best' portrays 2NE1 in diverse styles, they're no strangers to wearing luxury fashion houses, the girls exhibit the Gareth Pugh Spring 2011 RTW collection, whilst sauntering away to their track song. It's actually quite refreshing to see such runway items being seen in all it's movement and glory besides the catwalks and red carpet.

PUNK ROCK STYLE: METAL PLATES. STUDS. SPIKES

My best loved element to the MV is the full on Punk Rock slash Anime dizen. Jackets seen are custom made by label DOG Harajuku. For those of you who know me, I revere every single stud spikes and metal plates, reworked piece by piece in this MV, it's like a Utopia feeding my fixations. The girls of 2NE1 are the uber chameleons whom permutate with every clothing style, from playful to effeminate, seductive to fierce and strong.

Stoyn Sculpture Ice Cream Heads

Alas yesterday and today I've been melting like a Ice Cream in the heat, finally some good weather has arrived, so it's fitting to have stumbled across these delicious looking sculpting iconic figures of Ice Cream heads, with the exemplers of Darth Vader, Ernesto Che Guevara,  Vladimir Mayakovsky, Donald Duck, Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mouse and Mario. ~ I'm actually quite fond of the cardboard cutout Popsicle heads too, a super way of marketing the Ice Cream by Stoyn the Russian advertising agency. 

Moreover I'm glad to hear they have organic flavors such as Cranberry with vodka (Mayakovsky), blueberry with licorice (Darth Vader) and mate with rum (Che Guevara) it's quite creative and intelligent that these flavors have been picked out to match with each figure head's personality. ~ I hope they never melt they look far too good!  Photo's via Beautiful Life    

Anglasad "SECOND LINE BRASS CAP" GR8 Exclusive

Oh boyy! aren't these Military shaped hats by Anglasad, super!?  The motfit given for these hat's are influenced by New Orleans brass band. The term 'Second Line Beat' is a New Orleans expression.  New Orleans brass bands play happy, up beat music. The melodies and rhythms they played are so infectiously joyful that the street crowds, gather from everywhere.   [A history lesson I've just soaked up whilst writing this post ] 

New Orleans Second-Lines and Jazz Funerals. These parades are called “second-lines’ because back in the day, the parades in New Orleans were separated in two halves – the whites up front, and the blacks in the back. Well, the real party was clearly in the back, and the negro musicians developed a unique beat that has been immortalized their position in those parades – to this day it is referred to as a ’second-line beat’ and all New Orleans funk is based upon it.  Source jamesoroc.com

Just goes to show, drooling over items can bring some acumen to the mind once in a while, and moreover these hats have a good fusion of music sense and fashion. They come in various tasty colors : Black, Gold  Metallic, Light animal Red Paisley Blue Paisley .Silver Leopard Zebra Gold and Silver. Visit here for GR8 exclusive.
