THINGS

My new favourite blog, a reference pit of many things including all our favourite pop culturists, a slightly obsessive collection of Nicki Minaj candy porn and Chanel show stills from the fashion graveyard:

ISN'T HE DIVINE?

Some would say i'm a huge fan of the filmmaker John Waters. Others would say that i'm head over heels in love with him.

I guess I just hold a lot of respect for him and his offbeat and filthy films.

Earlier in the year I was lucky enough to have had the chance to see John Waters' live spoken word show 'This Filthy World' at the Sydney Opera House. He spoke about Divine, Politics, the often repulsive gay world, and of course RUSH (which made it refreshing to know that poppers is a hobby of his).

Apart from the fact that he idolizes Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons fame, my interest in John Waters does not in anyway intersect with my interest in fashion, however they do seem to sit nicely together on my shelf of interests. Filth and Fashion. All good things start with an F.

If there are any of you who are yet to discover the wonderful world of Waters, go and buy his newest book 'Role Models', then watch all of his films, and fall in love with him as I have.

Oh, and also, watch the three part interview with John from Andy Warhol TV from 1981.

Oh, and also also, how strange is it that John's from Baltimore, where all of his films are set, and as I type this, Silence of The Lambs is playing in the background, a film also set in Big Bad Baltimore. I dream of such a land.

BATHING WITH MEISEL

The latest photoshoot from acclaimed photographer Steven Meisel in the most recent issue of Vogue Italia features model newcomers Kirsi Pyrhonen, Hind Sahli, Ylonka Verheul, Daria Strokous, Caroline Brash Nielsen, and our very own Julia Nobis.

Styled by Karl Templer (who also styled the My Space shoot featuring Sasha that I posted on a while ago), the editorial is reminiscent of a 60's black and white swimwear campaign.

GALLIANO 1998

Let's just quickly flash back to John Galliano's Fall Winter 1998 collection.

A spectacle it was.

The footage shows lost models pretentiously circling tables of people to a soundtrack of 90's techno, an up-tempo jungle style edit of Madonna's "Frozen", happy time circus tunes and a more hyperactive version of "Money" sung by Liza Minnelli from "Cabaret" while and endless amount of money falls from the ceiling.

As for the fashion, we see a lot of full body gimp-esque suits, head caps, oversized fur coats, pantaloon style onesies and embellished evening dresses.

Please marvel at the creative genius that is John Galliano.

HAMANSUTRA

Hamansutra is a New York based multidirectional communication creator. After studying at Central St Martins in London, he went on to establish himself in the fashion industries of London, Hamburg and Munich, to eventually gain the attention and applause of big dog clients such as Audi, Nike and Microsoft.

He uses fashion design as his medium to communicate ideas and thoughts to a larger audience. His design concepts are largely focused on the ideas of freedom, and the often strenuous obstacles that we are faced with on our path to independence.

Hamansutra's collection titled "Artificial Skin" explores the idea that we are all slowly becoming more and more transparent in this overtly controlled world in which we live. He's ultimately attempting to inform us that we have a second skin, which now covers every little part of our lives, making technology and our surrounds a part of our "natural" existence.

He also designed the costumes for Sonique's music video for the song "Another World". Hamansutra forces the audience to forgive Sonique for such a terrible song.

I'll say no more, check it all out below, or on his website.

HOW NOW BRAUNER COW

A relatively unfamiliar name in the thorough histories of the Surrealist art movement is Victor Brauner, a Romanian Jewish artist who's paintings many would liken to the works of Miro and Arp, and sculptures to those by Man Ray.

It's easy to appreciate his use of bright and poppy colours, his obsession with animals, and the somewhat sexual approach that he exhibits in his works.

Loves it.
