CyanaTrendLand [via Alaia Izabela] provides the first internet leak of CTRL’s SS10 collection. The lookbook is incredibly large [at around 112 pages, no joke] but the colors, styling, photography, and models keep you hungrily flipping right through to the very end. Abundant are subtle acid wash denims in coral and black, as well as cropped and non-cropped jeans in plain black or white for both women and men.

You know we love Pin-ups ( especially me ! ) and when an editorial uses it as theme (and it looks nice) I have to post it. Here is a preview of the upcoming V Magazine #62

Wow, how amazingly inspirational are the curvy Pin-ups of George Petty ! He was one of the top “cheesecake” illustrators of the 30s and 40s. He began his career with a series of cartoons featuring beautiful girls and their far from handsome beaus. His work coined the term “Petty Girls“ to describe the carefully airbrushed girls with brilliant smiles and sexy poses. SO kitsch and so beautiful, I always deeply loved Pin-ups !

Is there a Trend Spotting on the 1950’s era !? Think Stewardess, Nautical and Pin-ups… Looks like it, right ! We have been felling this Trend for a while now, and it start happening more and more… Look at the Tim Walker shoot of Lily Donaldson for Vogue UK in March and the Bon Ton Eccentrico for Flair Magazine by Chad Pitman (July 2009) for examples or even the 50s Hollywood Glamor by Steven Meisel. We did a 1950’s Stewardess inspired photoshoot last Monday, you will see the images pretty soon (once I spent hours retouching it…). You have to Trust us, its coming strong and Fashion is already adapting it as we speak…

After a visit from Esquivel owner and designer, George Esquivel, the Vogue girls were enamored by his FW 09/10 Collection of oxfords and got inspired to do a mini story on the best of upcoming oxford’s and the do’s and don’t of wearing each style. Here are the four rules they set before you:

“The nude-blush lace is the epitome of Victorian romanticism,” Herman says. “I’d wear these in the evening with a YSL tux or just a plain black slip dress.” Chrisitan Louboutin’s Fred satin-and-lace flat, $955; christianlouboutin.com

1. “Putting flat lace-ups with a wide-leg trouser or jean is a very dated way to wear them,” says Jane Herman, Fashion Writer. “Instead, try a cropped pant.”
2. “This should not be a Wall Street look,” states Filipa Fino, Senior Accessories Editor. “Let the men wear them with suits. Women should wear them with feminine pieces.”

While surfing the net I found an amazing compilation of photographs of celebrities shot as Pin-Ups. There was no information on the photographers and at first I thought it may have been one pin-up editorial, but after looking although through it you could recognize that there was a great distinction in style and light of the photography. The commonality was in the trend of shooting these onscreen icons as sexy 50’s pin-ups to allude to that desire and fantasy associated with the idea of the pin-up and many of these stars as sex icons.

This is an ad that  Madrid based, creative studio Serial Cut did for the UK newspaper The Guardian.  “The Fresher is a supplement for University students included within the pages of The Guardian every year. This advertisement is representative of a student’s lifestyle—flat sharing and the endless stack of dirty dishes. The bodycopy is wedged in between the plates and crockery representing many of the topics of modern day students–”having a hangover” or “Eating beans”–in a ironic way, mixing 3D with photographic techniques.”

I love this ad as well as most of their work. A lot of
