Graffy Alley

This morning, I went to the alleys behind Melrose to enjoy one of the most popular street arts in LA, graffiti, before the hustle and bustle of the stores even opened for the day. The main reason I went down to Melrose was to draw inspiration for existing and upcoming trends. Here are my favorite photos I copped today that really appeal to me. Enjoy!

Kiss My Ass

This is Levi’s most recent Curve ID ad that i’ve been seeing all over LA.

There’s something about the wording of this ad that really turns me off to the brand. It gives me the impression that those type of jeans are not made for everyone and in a way discriminating towards those who are not slim like the models shown.

I understand they were trying to advertise for the curvy figure and that your ass could look this good in those jeans, but that slogan they add just throws it all off.

Hair Style Trends

Here are some of the latest hair style trends for the season:

Plaited & Braided Hair

  • Great w/ any hair color
  • Side braid can be paired w/ slicked side edgy style
  • Side braid can only be worn w/ a side part and the part must be on the opposite side of the head to the braid
  • Fish plait can be worn w/ a centre part

 

Long Waived Hair Inspired by the 40′s

  • Waves should be firm, but not curly
  • Suitable for all hair colours, though less effective on black hair
  • Wear it w/ an off-center or side part, not a center part
  • Length wise, it must fall below the shoulders
  • Pair w/ classic make-up and styling

 

Long Hair Inspired by the 70′s

Straight Long Hair, Naturally Styled

  • Slickly styled, but not so slick that it feels overly styled or straightened
  • Should be voluminous
  • Predominantly styled on the Spring 2010 catwalks w/ a side part, but will work equally as well w/ a center part
  • Definitely a style that works for super-long hair, i.e. hair that falls to the midriff

Flowing Textures

  • Different from the waved hairstyle inspired by the 1940s, this flowing, textured, (and sometimes) waved hairstyle trend in 2010 relies instead on natural-looking waves that border on bed hair
  • Suitable w/ both a center part and an off-center part
  • As with straight and naturally styled long hair, flowing waves also work well when very long

Edita Vilkeviciute – Numéro #117 October 2010

Magazine: Numéro #117 October 2010
Photographer: Camilla Akrans
Stylist: Franck Benhamou (2b Management)
Model: Edita Vilkeviciute (DNA)

I stumbled upon this image in an editorial featured in this month’s issue of Numéro shot by photographer Camilla Akrans featuring 21-year-old Lithuanian model Edita Vilkeviciute. The editorial is located in the beautiful city of Paris, France with a 1970′s Parisian glamour vibe.

I fell absolutely in love with this particular image amongst the editorial because Edita looks so beautiful and angelic in the white mini, and the way her body leans in towards the Eiffel Tower is gorgeously brilliant.

Natasha Poly – V FASHION Fall 2010


Skirt, VIKTOR & ROLF.

Magazine: V FASHION Fall 2010
Editorial: City of God
Photographer: Mario Sorrenti
Stylist: Jane How
Model: Natasha Poly (WOMEN)


Dress, MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA ARTISANAL.

In the most recent issue of V FASHION, 25-year-old Russian supermodel Natasha Poly, who was recently the face of Gucci for the spring/summer 2010 season, is featured in an editorial entitled “City of God” translating a religious underworld inspired by the movie “Holy Mountain.”

I was really drawn to this editorial because first of all, I love Natasha and I find everything she’s in to be spectacularly beautiful, but mostly due to the way it feels like they are poking fun at religion. I find that to be very intriguing.

I also love that this editorial does not just show a beautiful girl in perfectly styled designs posed prettily. Instead, the editorial stays true to it’s inspiration showing Natasha with bugs crawling all over her face and licking someone’s fist, but in absolutely stunning designs of course.
