Fashion vs. StreetStyle

New York, London, Paris, …   one by one fashionable cities with great fashion shows!  But there is also 'the circus outside the show': the street style photographers.

The romance between photographers and fashion on the streets is a tool for magazine editors and designers, an expression for the photographer himself and the model but a frustration for many fashion editors. 

Garage magazine captured all the fuss in a short documentary about the circus!

I have to admit, I love street style blogs! There is something about those causual and every day shots in a steet-settings.  My roommate pointed out this charming blog 'What Ali wore'.

Photographer Zoe Spawton works in a cafe in Berlin and every morning at 9:05, Ali, this elderly Turkish man walks by, dressed very stylish.  After days, weeks of greetings and smilings Zoe started to take pictures of Ali.  A new street style star is born: What Ali Wore

Photographer: Zoe Spawton

A Parisian designer: Marion Cointot

The other day I met a very creative lady: Marion Cointot,  born in Paris and since a few years living in Ghent. Marion worked as a fashion designer for the big fashion houses Christian Lacroix and Paule Ka.  Please take a look at the collection of this talented young designer!

After the rain

The rain is my main excuse for the lack in posts, I've been quite busy/lazy (delete as appropriate). But change is coming!!

Gonna plan some shoots for the coming weeks. Want to try out some editorial shoots and fashion portraits... I know, so girly like.. but look at the stunning work of Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Stiven Klein, Annie Leibovitz.. you gotta love them!

Fashion week: Carrément

Fashion week... Milan, Paris, London, New York... and even in Gent!!

 We don't have the big shows and afterparties with famous designers..but we have a boutique at the Brabantdam called Carrément. They are having their own fashion week and  models, even the famous Veronique De Kock, showed the latest collection of Dolce & Gabbana, Atos Lombardini, Frida shoes and many more.  

 Ooo I fell in love.. I saw the most beautifull pumps ever.. I would say priceless, but uhm pricey is a better word.  The blue Dolce & Gabbana 's probably cost more than 300 €...  but.. if 30 friends of mine each pay 10 €, I wouldn't mind to pay the rest!  Anyway it's almost my birthday..
