Look at those boys flying around in Hermes. This got me thinking that male models should study ballet to understand movement in photographs.

On the outside it looks like your ordinary, top-of-the-line, it bag. But this collaboration from Richard Nicoll and Vodafone is more than just a designer handbag, it’s a mobile-charging handbag. Unlike other bags that uses solar panels, this bag can be directly charged via induction charging. A cable can be attached magnetically on the exterior of the bag to begin storing power. You can use it to charge any Blackberry, iPhone, or Android phones. Just imagine the next vintage handbag can power up your devices.
This is the second season that we’ve partnered with Vodafone and we wanted to create a collaborative product that fused technology and fashion, and that was relevant for both of us – so we came up with the idea of doing a charging bag that charges your mobile device on the go, which is especially relevant for my collection this season, because it’s all about the notion of work and all its facets in modern times. – Richard Nicoll

Scientist, painter, and now handbag designer. Leonardo da Vinci seems to be the original multi-hyphenated artist. This sketch of the Pretiosa handbag by the famed Mona Lisa painter was made some 400 years ago in 1497. And judging by the intricate design in the leather plus the ornate hardware, it can easily be one of the opulent vintage handbag that Alexander McQueen would have in a collection today. Read more…
Remember the convertible shoe I mentioned in the low heel shoes post? Consider the Day2Night convertible heels an updated more sophisticated system than that shoe. Basically, you have a set of heels with different heights that you can screw on and off your shoe depending on your preferences (or how sore your leg muscles are). Pretty nifty huh?
In an industry where 14 years old is the new norm, this documentary about the fashion industry and aging could be likened to a dooms day prophecy. In this sneak peek of About Face you can see Jerry Hall, Paulina Porizkova, Isabella Rosellini, Marisa Berenson, and Carmen Dell-Orefice.
About Face is a step back in time to a glamorous, yet complicated, era when drugs were rampant and women were routinely harassed and mistreated. The divergent attitudes among the women about everything from the business of modeling, to aging and plastic surgery, are fascinating and priceless.

That pretty much sums up this wonderful video for Chloe’s SS 2011 starring Prima Ballerina Janie Taylor. I know it’s an oldie, but still worth watching.
Models in barely nothing and even in their birthday suits. What’s there not to like? But seriously, I like these behind the scenes videos simply because it shows that not every photoshoot is an America’s Next Top Model shoot. Drama should be in the photo and not on the set.
