More than 300 works will be on display, including advertisement, portraits and their own photography. It’s sure to be a memorable experience.

Summer is in full effect in the city, but pre-fall has already started to arrive in stores. Check out Alexander Wang’s cool, cozy separates. The tuxedo jacket is the perfect piece to that can be worn for all your important business events or throw it over a little black dress for your after-dark affairs. If you’re in need for a classic pair of black trousers then we’ve got that too, Wang’s version has a high corset-inspired waist and a wide leg.
The best pieces in the collection are definitely the chunky knits. The asymmetric batwing sweater will surely become a staple as soon as the weather drops below 40, and let’s face it, you’ll probably try to figure out a way to wear it in the warmth because it’s just that awesome. The piece-de-resistance is certainly the super think shrug with one long sleeve, in the picture it’s worn over a trenchcoat and then belted in place, but there’s something kind of glamorous of just wearing the one sleeve and then letting the rest hang over your shoulder like a modern-day (and animal friendly!) fur stole.

Whether you’re into naughty stuff or sweet stuff, we’ve got you covered with two awesome summer read suggestions; one about Warhol’s sexcapades at the Factory in the 60’s and another about the beautiful story of Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe’s relationship.
Photographer Cameron Krone and artist David Goodman have collaborated in a body of work that boldly mixes fashion photography with mixed media with a beautiful final product. The last image in particular is one of my favorites as it seems to capture the moment the model has painted the brushtrokes from “the other side” of the lens.

“LucyandBart is a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess described as an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. They share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression. Unconsciously their work touches upon these themes, however it is not their intention to communicate this. They work in a primitive and limitless way creating future human shapes, blindly discovering low – tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement.. ”
The most awesome thing about their work is their use of common everyday materials. Balloons, folded paper and glue and even soap suds. They are inviting us to look at the possibilities of pure human imagination and creativity from an almost child-like point of view.
Check out more of their work at LucyandBart.com.

Vanessa Jackman’s streetstyle blog is a great little spot for inspiration.
(Yeah it’s summer and whatnot, but these were too good to pass up!)
Robin Wright looks absolutely STUNNING in these portraits by Peter Lindbergh for Vogue Italia.
I’d like to think that maybe these are portraits of Princess Buttercup, who is now a super badass queen.
