Not pristine.

What can I say, tomboys just catch our heart. Always have and always will. She doesn't try to prove herself, she's comfortable in her own skin, has a chilled attitude, never overtly sexy, and kinda sporty. Just realizing now, we're so often drawn to this similar vibe, never fails to capture our attention. Arizona Muse, at first sight she seems a mix of Karlie Kloss, Tallulah Morton & Anja Rubik, but she also exudes a clear-minded maturity that's solely her own.

Loving every-single one of these pieces here. Fresh and clean, but not pristine. No curves, but boyish lines. O yes, we went the extra mile, squinting into blurry pixels of ant-like italian text, and with the aid of Babelfish, managed to salvage that the white asymmetrical dress in the second shot comes from SS2011 of N° 21 by Alessandro Dell'Acqua and the third dress with the slits and cutouts is from SS2011 of Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci. Just thought some of you might like to know.

Just, be.

Came across this series by Kacper Kasprzyk for Marani's summer 2010 collection. Valerija Kelava, we have posted about before, here. Something about these images just resonate with us - unpretentious and effortless. Maybe because it's carefree, relaxed and at ease. The fresh angles seem to plainly document nature and the man-made. Just existing.

Jaco. Masculin - Féminin.

Jaco van den Hoven. I don't think his eyes or face need much more introduction than these photographs. He is probably the first homme model we've featured on this blog, but i'm sure all of you will enjoy it. Femme and homme alike. Possibly for different reasons.

We've heard different people say that he looks like Jacquelyn Jablonski, Sasha Pivovarova, Marina Perez. Our immediate reaction was, 'Does Jessica Stam have a brother? That must be Jaco.' Maybe its the skin texture, lips and eyes. What do you think?

Outlandish.

This is Daul Kim photographed by Cecile Bortoletti for Lurve magazine A/W 2009. We've had bits of this editorial sitting in our weheartit folder for a long time now. We've finally got around to finding the full editorial and the original source of these dreamy, bewitching and mystical photos.

Anyone else find it such a treat when photos of Daul Kim pop up? It's like a breath of fresh sincerity. Never irrelevant.

Deep in those Valerija eyes.

You may remember us gushing about Valerija Kelava, about a week and a bit ago. She's the Slovenian model that we can't help but be in full awe and admiration of lately. We're clearly not the only ones that think she's the bee's knees. Just starting on the scene in 2009, the works she has done in that time spells out that she shouldn't be taken lightly (possibly causing abit of a cult following right now...). Our favourite campaigns she's done: Versace AW2010 and Cerruti AW2010. Our favourite editorials: Valerija whenever she's photographed by Marton Perlaki in The Room #12, 'Shaman' in Cover Magazine 3/2010 and 'Hard and Soft Elements come together' in Dazed & Confused 12/2009 both photographed by Kacper Kaspryzyk and 'Highly Sexed Femininity Meets Streamlined Sportswear' in Dazed & Confused 2/2010. If you love these images, you've got to watch the clip we've included here too, the Making of the The Room #12.

riding the red wave.

Thank you. This post was so much fun to prepare. What an invigorating time we've been having collecting all our favorite 'red moments' together. Just so we can splash all this red across your screen, all in one go! It was important to us that this post be strictly on this specific spectrum of red. Fresh crisp red. Not burgundy. Burgundy? Now, don't get us started..... that's a whole other story.

Back at home, we are missing some of this red action. It's okay. Babysteps we'll take. Anyone have any grand ideas where we'll find a red sheer skirt like the one above taken by streetfsn??

So maybe there is more than just the red obsession hiding in this post. Say, 3 obsessions?

1. The photos by Nam of Streetfsn. A great and inspiring street style photographer/blogger that's roaming the streets and capturing such personal and fleeting moments in the Fashion Weeks and Seoul. They're unpretentious, they're soft, they seem to capture those 'in-between' moments -people in their natural state.

2. Valerija Kelava, the Slovenian model in the first image. She's one of those odd beauties that inevitably captivate us, her deathly intense stare, her deep yet soft angular features, her lean masculine build... just coming to my senses now. She really deserves her own post.

3. Just one more, The Room mag and oh, their blog too.

Kate Moss in 93'.

With all the recent buzz around Kate Moss and the release of her final collection with Topshop, we thought its about time we dug out some clippings of her younger years and early editorials. The works that are so admired. The works that carved her place as an icon. Photographed by Patrick Demarchelier.
