Fashion Photography #1

Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are fashion photographers.
They are known for post production work on their pictures and rarely produce anything but noteworthy and well realized fashion stories. They shoot digitally, and then alter the images on a computer screen, using Photoshop to brighten or change colors and contours. The talent and endless passion for
colors by these photographers can be distinguished from the rest.


Mert: “It’s like a painting, You can paint a scene. The next day, you think, I wish I had a dog. So you draw a dog on it. You can achieve what you want eventually, even if you didn’t do it that way.
You seem freer than when ‘what you shot is what you got.’ ”

Ice Cube Celebrates The Eames

A few days ago I found out that Gangster Rapper Ice Cube is a former engineering student!
In this short interesting video Ice Cube gives his opinion about the Eames House. "It's not about the pieces,
it's how the pieces work together."


Born to Die

I'm in love with this song/video from Lana Del Rey! It's so pretty =)

Snow who..? Snow Way!

Snow white is booming business!

In 2012 there will be a Snow White feature film released called 'Mirror Mirror'. Mirror Mirror is about An evil queen, who steals control of a kingdom and an exiled princess enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright. In the Snow White movie Julia Roberts will play the role of the Evil Queen.
Arnie Hammer, which has already passed in Gossip Girl as Gabriel, will play Prince Charming.  Lily Collins (daughter of singer Phil Collins) will perform the leading part as upcoming talent in the Mirror Mirror movie. The Actress wanted to play the part of Snow White so bad, she auditioned for two films about the famous fairytale . ''They are two never before told stories, so it are two different movies," says the actress in the American entertainment program Access Hollywood. The movie is a funny version of the ancient tale.

The beautifull dresses were made by the oscar-winning costume designer Eiko Ishioka.
Eiko Ishioka is known for her work on stage, screen, advertising, and print media,
and has been called "Japan’s leading art director and graphic designer," though she now works primarily in New York City. She graduated from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music.
Her work is included in the permanent collection of museums throughout the world,
including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.





The other movie Lily Collins was talking about, is the movie Snow White and the Huntsman. Unlike Mirror Mirror, is snow white and the huntsman a dark tale. the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods, to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.
Kirstin Steward plays Snow White beside Charlize Theron. Collins: ''I'm so exited for Kirsten, she is perfect for that part''.

I am a bit obsessed with the many filmed fairy tales .. Alice in Wonderland, just fantastic,
Shrek, Narnia, Enchanted, love it, Puss in Boots, hilarious, I could go on forever.
I am convinced that I am definitely going to enjoy these movies, and certainly view them from a different perspective.

Also GHD was inspired by the legend...Katy Perry regularly looks to the Fifties and Sixties for fashion inspiration. But in her latest role as the face and hair of ghd, the singer goes back a little further in time... to the Twenties. Having being announced as the face of ghd earlier this year, Perry's Snow White shoot in oktober is her second for the brand.The shoot is captured by photographer David LaChapelle.



Perry: 'There were lots of little birds hanging around so I felt like a princess, like Snow White, and I was singing and talking to the birds as they fluttered around me. I would maybe wear something like this again. I liked the glittering fishnets I got to wear with it.  I liked the hair – it’s super frizzy.'
